I can't get BOINC to start with the rest of the startup applications and the software itself doesn't have that option, I've been reading about it on Berkeley's forum but I can't get the answer, it appears the 12.04 version has a lot of errors that the previous version didn't. Is there a way to do it?

I was wondering the same thing, but then yesterday used System Monitor, and there is a Process running (Einstein@Home IIRC, grinding away at some data), so the BOINC Manager doesn't have to be obviously running for BOINC to be happening.

Check that, you might be just fine!

Just enable service. Example for Ubuntu:

sudo systemctl enable boinc-client

If this not working, open config - /etc/default/boinc-client you'll see startup script path:

/etc/init.d/boinc-client

check out if this file exists and value of ENABLED variable (should be "1" in both files).

To start service manually:

/etc/init.d/boinc-client start

Also you can add boinc client binary (e.g. /usr/bin/boinc) to startup applications. Path depends of you distro, can be found in files mentioned above.
