1) Message boards : BOINC client : BOINC on Puppy Linux 5.2 (Message 49255) Posted 22 May 2013 by Gerald Britton Post: fwiw I shut down the client then started the manager. Now, all is well! (THough I'm still mystified)

2) Message boards : BOINC client : BOINC on Puppy Linux 5.2 (Message 49254) Posted 22 May 2013 by Gerald Britton Post: Hmmm...I tried the hex string for a password. No joy. I then changed the string to "foobar" (without the quotes) and tried again. It still won't connect.

3) Message boards : BOINC client : BOINC on Puppy Linux 5.2 (Message 49251) Posted 22 May 2013 by Gerald Britton Post: Sorry about the confusion re: server vs. client. Puppy 5.2 has a firewall, but I have it disabled. The client is successfully retrieving and sending data over the Internet. Both client and manager are started from the same directory. As is common with Puppy Linux (esp. the live version), I run as root with full permissions. "What happens when you start boinc-manager, then in advanced view click Advanced->Select computer->leave both boxes empty and clickOK? " It fails to connect. "What happens when you type in 'localhost' as computer (without the quotes), leave the password blank and click OK" It fails to connect. "Is there anything in the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file in the data directory?" Yes, a string of hex digits.

THere are two ways to start boinc that I know of: Boinc client (started by run_client) Boinc manager (started by run_manager) I have started the client as above, and it runs like a charm. While it is running, I am trying to start the manager. It starts but won't connect to the running instance (I call that the server -- probably the wrong nomenclature)

5) Message boards : BOINC client : BOINC on Puppy Linux 5.2 (Message 49238) Posted 22 May 2013 by Gerald Britton Post: HI. I'm running BOINC on Puppy Linux v 5.2. The client and server run OK AFAICS (I only had to install the wx libraries). Client reports version 7.0.65 for i686-pc-linux-gnu. My problem is the manager. If I start the manager it tries to connect to the server but fails. No messages, no nothing. If I start it with --verbose, I get messages like these: looking for catalog 'wxstd' in path ... catalog file for domain wxstd not found. same thing for wxgtk, BOINC-Manager, BOINC-Client, BOINC-Web However, it DOES start up, it just won't connect to the server. Meanwhile, the client is running happily and chomping through its tasks. What could the problem be?

6) Message boards : BOINC client : SIGPIPE: write on a pipe with no reader (Message 15024) Posted 18 Jan 2008 by Gerald Britton Post: Hi -- I run 5.10.30 on an AMD 64 X2 dual-core processor. Normally, two tasks are running -- on one each core. Sometimes, one task stalls. Looking in the error log, I see many lines of this: SIGPIPE: write on a pipe with no reader What's going on here? How can I avoid this error and keep both cores working?
