Message 48540 - Posted: 4 Apr 2013, 23:00:21 UTC

I'm running Fedora 17 with Xfce, in case that matters. Recently, I had to re-install Linux after something mangled my OS. I've reinstalled both boinc-client and the manager, and the client starts at boot. However, even after adding myself to the boinc group logging out and back in again, I can't connect to localhost with the manager. Not only that, I have to reconnect to the projects and download new work every time I boot. (Normally, I only reboot for kernel updates, but things aren't exactly normal for me right now.) I have a link to /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg in my home directory, and I've tried using the appropriate password, but it never connects. What's the next step?

No matter what I do, Boincmgr can't connect to localhost. However, checking at Einstein@home shows recent results, and if I use top, I can see that boinc-client is not only active, but one of my two projects (The other is the WCG.) is running. And, it shows current activities and claims down at the bottom that it's connected. Weird.
