Public bug reported: Binary package hint: boinc-manager
Right after installing boinc-client and boinc-manager, running boinccmd from a terminal makes it always say "Authentication failure", unless --passwd is given explicitly. Running boincmgr from a terminal (instead of the program launcher menu) make it unable to connect too, unless the password is given in the Connect to computer dialog. Both of these problems go away if the commands are run from /var/lib /boinc-client or /etc/boinc-client, which is what the BOINC Manager program launcher does. I think both programs should be modified to look in /etc/boinc- client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg. Currently, they only look in the current directory. ** Affects: boinc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: boinc (Debian) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: boinc (Debian) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- boincmgr and boinccmd fail to authenticate - looking in wrong place https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347651 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
