HI all, I read this whole thread BOINC boards and still ain't able to connect. This happened after an update (was working good with 6.2.12 without doing any of this configuration) I followed all the instructions given therein as well as checked the BOINC page. I am on ubuntu 1. Open /etc/group in a text editor. 2. Look for the line starting with boinc:x:<group ID number>:. 3. Edit the line to look like boinc:x:<group ID number>:username 4. Save the file and close the editor. 5. In a terminal, enter sudo chmod g+rw /var/lib/boinc-client 6. Enter sudo chmod g+rw /var/lib/boinc-client/*.* 7. Enter sudo ln -s /var/lib/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg /home/username/gui_rpc_auth.cfg 8. Enter sudo chown boinc:boinc /home/username/gui_rpc_auth.cfg The only problem is when I do 7. I get this ln: creating symbolic link `/home/shirish/gui_rpc_auth.cfg': File exists. I renamed the file to gui_rpc_auth.cfg to gui_rpc_auth.cfg.orig just for safe-keeping purposes. Also the /var/lib/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg doesn't have anything, its blank. Is it supposed to be blank? I also checked it through System > Administration > Users and Groups clicking on Manage Groups and looking at boinc where the ownership is to the user i.e. me. Any help on the same would be nice. -- Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ |

Found something more ~$ ll /var/lib/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2008-11-12 07:24 /var/lib/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg -> /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg Its apparently sym-linked to /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg Also /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg is blank. If needed can add the alphanumeric string from /home/shirish/gui_rpc_auth.cfg -- Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ |

OIC now. The real qui_rpc_auth.cfg is created in /etc/boinc-client/, not /var/lib/boinc-client/. Doh! My mistake. I hope you edit the documentation to show the same (I think its the debianized version of things). Actually I didn't have to do anything. After much looking around just had to one thing. /etc/init.d/boinc-client status * Status of BOINC core client: stopped. This was my clue. Did ~$ /etc/init.d/boinc-client start * Status of BOINC core client: running. Now I'm able to crunch, dunno why this happened. Problem solved. -- Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ |
