Note (for anyone who has read the earlier thread) this (or the equivalent) occurs with both X and Wayland.

This is a report for X: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/2256

This is for Wayland(?): https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=14249

My memory is that its a result of the Screen Saver option being included in the build, the running process tries to contact the server to determine the current state (idle detection) but doesn't have the correct credentials.

I build my own but now don't have libxss installed, so this feature doesn't get built in and I no longer get the messages.

It's back. http://albertathome.org/
But not for long. It's requiring a login for all pages, and isn't accepting mine anywhere.

Possibly(?) related to reason given in this thread.
