I think I used the sh command correctly as there is a BOINC folder /home/ubu/BOINC and if I click on boinc in that it comes up as 6:6:40.
However when I click on Applications..System Tools..to run Boinc Manager it comes up as 6:4:5.
It seems to be the one in usr/bin/.
And if I look in System Monitor there is no cpu activity and only boincmgr is visible in the file system section which is using 1%.
So my guess is that one has been installed by root and one installed by user (ubu).
Can you help me tidy it up?
My suggestion: open a terminal and type
ps -eaf |grep boinc
see what it tells you

/usr/bin/boinc is running together with two Astrobinarypulse applications. What does your boincmanager see? I don't see it running.
Tullio
In the BOINC directory, look the stderrdae.txt and the stdoutdae.txt files. They are simple text files. On the lower right corner of your boincmanager window it says "connected to". That's the BOINC version running.
They were not in ubu/boinc. In /var/lib/boinc-client/ had stderrdae.txt 0 bytes and stdoutdae.txt 152 kbytes and neither would open with gedit.
Boincmanager shows 6:4:5.

They should be readable with cat, tail, head or more - or aren't those commandline tools in use any more? I'm out of unix for some years.

Autodidacto: you are simply running a good old BOINC 6.4.5. Leave it alone for the moment, To see simple text files I am still using good old vi. a UNIX editor that few people today even know. It was made by Bill Joy.
Tullio
If you are already running 6.4.5 then you can easily upgrade to 6.6.40 as follows:
look at at the script /etc/init.d/boinc-client and verify that the binary location is /usr/bin/boinc for the boinc executables
# Default values for the variables that are also set in the defaults file.
ENABLED=0
SCHEDULE=0
BOINC_USER=boinc
BOINC_DIR=/var/lib/boinc-client
BOINC_CLIENT=/usr/bin/boinc
go to the location that has the binary files and verify that the
ownership for the 6.4.5 is ROOT ROOT (or just make a note of what it is)
you might want to rename the 6.4.5 to something like _645 as shown here
be sure to stop all boinc processes
Download the latest and greatest from boinc and run the .sh program to unpack the 6.6.40 into your Desktop\BOINC
change the ownership to ROOT ROOT (or whatever it should be) using
chown root:root boinc*
then copy those bin files to that binary directory

Perhaps Boinc manager wasn't running last time so here it is again.

Linux is not an impenetrable mystic art now but it's close. Surely Unix was easier with fewer flavours and tinkerers.
They were legible in OpenOffice but perhaps too big to put here.

I never run third party programs as root, always as user, for security reasons. Only the OS programs run as root.

Thanks Tullio for noticing, this cannot be stressed enough. You don't want to run boinc as root.
