1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Ubuntu 20.10 but getting error on BOINC (Message 101360)

Hello,

I was having problems with this error after upgrading Ubuntu 18.04.4 to 20.04.1 and also upgrading Boinc to 7.16.15 from 7.16.6.

The error was similar to other posts: invalid client rpc password

The problem persisted after removing ~/.BOINC* and uninstalling boinc-client and boinc-manager and rebooting.

What worked was redoing the Optional Setup Hints listed at the very bottom of the Debian installation page. Something about permissions on gui_rpc_auth.cfg is not getting setup correctly.

By the way, this never generated any output: sudo systemctl start boinc-client
It runs but is silent. I think it should provide an [ok] or some confirmation.

Marc
