It doesn't work on my linux machine. With sudo, there's no output whatsoever, without sudo it's error -155. Removing the last / doesn't help either. Anyway, I don't need to force an update that often. But I want to be able to switch back and forth between command line and BOINC Manager, can it be done? |

It's LMDE, so Debian, basically, and BOINC was installed from the repositories. I have some progress! I don't know what happened, because when fiddling with boinccmd I only got the error, but when I restarted the PC and BOINC Manager started (I have it set to start automatically upon logging in), it could not connect to its client, but a task was happily running in the background. I SSH'd into the machine, cd'd into /var/lib/boinc-client, ran boinccmd and it seems to be working, it sees the workunits that are there... basically this is what I wanted to do. But, what about when I want to change the settings or attach/detach projects sometime in the future? I'd like to be able to use the BOINC Manager for this instead of the command line utilities. // also, forcing an update does not work boinccmd --project http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ update Error -155: authentication error |

Wiki says...If you run boinccmd in the same directory as the BOINC client, you don't need to supply either a host name or a password. How do I know which directory is boinc-client launched from? |

1) Sorry for reviving an old thread. 2) I have everything in Ageless' list. What do I have to do now in order to be able to use boinccmd instead of the graphical BOINC Manager? 3) How many goats do I have to sacrifice in the process? |

It still doesn't work. If I run "run_client", it tells me another instance of BOINC is already running. I used apt-get remove boinc* --purge, so the repository packages should be long gone. Then I start "run_manager", the BOINC manager appears and is "Connecting to localhost" for a few minutes. Then it tells me the BOINC client has "unexpectedly stopped working in the last 3 minutes" and asks whether I wish to restart it. // ahh there's a bug report for this https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/ticket/1160 and nobody gives a damn for almost a year and a half already :-D So does that mean I'm screwed, or is there a workaround? |

I didn't get an answer on the Mint forums :( BOINC from Berkeley = you mean this? http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.0.65_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh I downloaded it, ran it (sudo sh), and it just unpacked some files into my home directory where it was downloaded. What should I do with this? |

Hello, I have a machine running Linux Mint 13 (which is basically Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with a different desktop). I installed boinc-client and boinc-manager packages from the repositories. Now, the boinc-client process is running, but when I open the manager, it doesn't connect and no computations are done. I tried removing both programs with the --purge option and install them again, but it didn't help. It actually only ran OK just the first time after installation. Then I exited the manager and told it to stop crunching; it didn't and I had to kill the WU process manually. Since then, no luck. I'm not above using the command line only, but I don't know how. |

Oh, the bloody ticker dialog. I unticked it in the option, therefore I never got asked to stop the computations. A thousand thanks to you. |

Hi. I recently made a clean Windows install and something weird is happening with BOINC after I installed it onto the new system. When I close the Manager (boincmgr.exe is no longer running according to Windows' Task Manager), the tasks that were in progress continue to run, along with boinc.exe. Please help if you encountered the same problem. It's driving me nuts. // The version is 7.0.28 for Windows & x86_64. |
