Boinc problems ??
Hi; When I launch boincmgr I get the following error message: "Authorization failed connecting to running client. Make sure you start this program in the same directory as the client." They are both in /usr/bin/ and boinc_client is running happily. If however, in boincmgr I open on the menu Advanced => Select Computer => localhost and paste in the password from /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg boincmgr will open connected to boinc_client. How do I get boincmgr to open with boinc_client automatically attached (or whatever the proper terminology is) without going through the password exercise? It used to in Fedora 8. I have tried as many variations as I can think of following man boincmgr, man boinc_client and the advice at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Mjakubicek/HowToUseBoinc This not a killer, but is annoying. Does anyone have any suggestions. -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.2 Evo.2.22.2, Emacs 22.2.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

How exactly do you start boincmgr? Did you start boincmgr from the same directory where boinc is running, As suggested by the error message? Boincmgr is looking for the file gui_rpc_auth.cfg in the current directory, i.e. if you have installed boinc into ~/BOINC then cd $HOME; BOINC/boincmgr will not work, but cd $HOME/BOINC; ./boincmgr will. -- Tschüss, Adalbert Prokop mummy, n.: An Egyptian who was pressed for time. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Hi Adalbert; Now I am totally confused.

I have no $HOME/BOINC; (I used to in Fedora 8) yum installed all boinc files in /var/lib/boinc/ including gui_rpc_auth.cfg. I have executables for boinc_client and boincmgr in /usr/bin > Boincmgr is looking for the file > gui_rpc_auth.cfg in the current directory, i.e. if you have installed > boinc into ~/BOINC then > > cd $HOME; BOINC/boincmgr > > will not work, but > > cd $HOME/BOINC; ./boincmgr > > will. > > -- > Tschüss, > Adalbert Prokop > > mummy, n.: An Egyptian who was pressed for time. > -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.2 Evo.2.22.2, Emacs 22.2.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

If gui_rpc_auth.cfg is there and readable for you, then cd /var/lib/boinc; boincmgr should start the manager. If this works, you can fill /var/lib/boinc into the field "working directory" in your menu entry. -- bye, Adalbert Memory fault -- brain fried -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Does anybody else have any ideas?? If /var/lib/boinc is where the files exist, then you need to try the following.. 1 - cd /var/lib/boinc 2 - ./boincmgr or 1 - cd /usr/bin 2 - ./boincmgr Try either of the following and see if they work. -- Mike Chambers Fedora Project - Ambassador, Bug Zapper, Tester, User, etc..

So: cd /var/lib/boinc /usr/bin/boincmgr (or just boincmgr, since it's in $PATH). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
