I found that if I deleted the password in gui_rpc_auth.cfg, started the Boinc Manager GUI, selected File -> Select computer and entered a host of 127.0.0.1 with no password it now starts. I also re-enabled the run at Boinc Manager startup in the Other -> Other options menu.

Boinc version 7.93 x64, Linux Mint 19.1, World Community Grid

I have two problems.

One is that the client starts automatically when I boot. I see many instances of wcgrid_mcm1_map running in top. I wanted to try to stop it from booting at startup so I did update-rc.d boinc-client remove in the terminal and rebooted. That didn't stop the service from starting so I opened the Boinc Manager GUI, switched it to Advanced View and went to Options -> Other options and unchecked 'run' under one of the tabs. It didn't say much but I guessed it might be run at startup. After I did that, the wcgrid_mcm1_map instances start at boot but when I connect to the Boinc Manager GUI all menus from View to the right have all their options greyed out.

When I do boinccmd --get_state I get Authorization failure -155. If I do this as root I see that my Account is not attached. So I do boinccmd --project_attach www.worldcommunitygrid.org <my account key> and get GUI RPC error: Already attached to project.

I tried using the key in gui_rpc_auth.cfg to attach to the project and the one on My Profile page but neither seems to work. I also found a lockfile in my home directory which I deleted after reading of someone else having a similar problem, deleting theirs and then everything working. I have had problems after deleting lockfiles before but I had run out of options so tried that.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
