Posted 12 Oct 2020 by Fester 		I'd be happy to chown gui_rpc_auth.cfg. Where is it?
I've done file searches starting at the root directory, but I still can't find it.

How do I find gui_rpc_auth.cfg?
2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : BOINC pops to the top

Synaptic says this is the latest version available.

I leave BOINC running 24/7 minimized. When I'm done running another application, I turn it off. BOINC then takes the opportunity to move from minimized to displaying on top.

How do I get BOINC to stay in the background where I want it?

Posted 23 Oct 2013 by Fester 		Boinc Manager: 7.027 +dsfg-5ubuntu0.12.04.1
Boinc Client: 7.027 +dsfg-5ubuntu0.12.04.1

I got these from the repositories.

I'll wait for updates to the repositories, installs from BOINC are difficult.

Posted 22 Oct 2013 by Fester 		I'm running BOINC Manager under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

When I set Computing Preferences/Only after computer has been idle for 3.0 minutes, BOINC stays suspended indefinitely. Activity is selected correctly.

How do I get "Only after computer has been idle for..." to work correctly?
5) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Kubuntu - Manager won't start (password)

Posted 24 Jul 2006 by Fester 		On starting BOINC Manager in Kubuntu (Deb/Linux) 6.06, I get "The password you have provided is incorrect. please try again". There was no request for a password on startup.
Client starts from a command prompt.

How do I get Manager to run? Where do I put in a password?
