Will is be possible to change the way, how boincmgr connecting to localhost. Getting the "fail to connect to localhost" error message again. Alot of other people also is getting it and I am getting tried of searching the web to get it to work. Like to use my spare computing powers when sitting at the pc, but almost come to a quit everytime I install boinc on a new distro |

Will is be possible to change the way, how boincmgr connecting to localhost. Which distros? I haven't experienced this problem over any of the distros I have used from Mandrake to Mandriva and more recently several incarnations of Ubuntu. |

If the mgr can't connect to the client, is because the client isn't running. On Ubuntu, you can do: sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart |

If the mgr can't connect to the client, is sometimes because the client isn't running.Or sudo systemctl start boinc-clientMind you, if the client isn't running because it crashed last time, it'll probably crash again. You'll have to work out whether, and if so why, it isn't running before you try either of these. |

mostly Arch builds where it will not start from at fresh install and sometimes on debian distros, where it crashes and cant not log back on, then I just give it a day or 2 and it is working again |

Love you mate. Have done the command "sudo systemctl start boinc-client", before starting boincmgr on all the distros, where I have had problems, working now. Only downside is I have to type in the command everytime I reboot Manjaro, but that I can live with. You saved my day and a couple of future ones |
