1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Ubuntu 20.10 but getting error on BOINC (Message 101285) Posted 24 Oct 2020 by Kusho Post: /Quote You should see the client start and print out the normal startup messages. If that doesn't work, then navigate to /usr/bin and open a Terminal and try running the client executable directly there, without starting the service. Should see the standard client startup messages. First one didnt work at all Second one gave me this error gui_rpc_auth.cfg not found. Try reinstalling BOINC Since the second one didnt work didnt run the third. And I am having this problem Installing and running BOINC from the Ubuntu Software app. on 20.04 i just typed in BOINC and installed it then ran it. It ran fine and let me set it up for my project. Obviously there is a problem this time, that needs to be fixed.
