Hi all

I had to backup, rebuild and restore a linux box.
I'm having to restore files other that the home folder in a piecemeal fashion.
So far I've restored /var/lib/boinc-client and /etc/boinc-client but the UI hangs (boinc manager) on open. The client is running, but so far the ui can't seem to connect. The machine's name was changed so would that be a cause of failure ? Are there other files I need to restore from backup or config settings to make?

fyi: running linux mint 15 x64 (formerly Mint 13 lst) and Boinc 7.0.27+dfsg-5ubuntu0.12.04.1, installed from synaptic package manager

Are there other files I need to restore from backup or config settings to make?

Perhaps a link from gui_rpc_auth.cfg to your (or the BOINC user's) home directory?
