Posted 13 Sep 2008 by Tehhund Post: click Advanced -> Select Computer *duh* There we go, I entered localhost and my new password, and it found the client. So that's fixed - but how do I make it remember my new password? If that's already in the instructions you gave me, sorry but I didn't understand. Also, this it brought up a new issue. It brings up the "Attach to project" dialogue and allows me to select rosetta@home, but when it tries to connect it says Network communication failure All of the information I found on this issue focuses on firewalls and proxies, but I don't think either applies in my case. My Linux firewall is currently disabled. I'm connected to the Internet via a wireless connection, and I'm able to surf unsecured and secured pages without entering any proxy information, so it's a good assumption that ports 80 and 443 aren't blocked. Also, BOINC is running just fine on my Windows laptop that is connected to the same wireless network, so I doubt that BOINC is selectively blocked. Any ideas? Thanks for all the help! |

Posted 12 Sep 2008 by Tehhund Post: Thanks for the reply, but those instructions didn't quite work out. I changed my RPC password per the instructions, then #4 says When logged in as a regular user you will be required to give the GUI RPC password every time you start BOINC manager. This is not the case - it just errors out when I open it, and I can't find any way to enter a password in the manager. Should I be trying to load it from the terminal instead of through GUI? I went ahead and did steps 4.1 and 4.2, as well as 5.1 through 5.7, but I still have the same problem. Any further troubleshooting steps? I think I'm missing something at the "You will be required to give the GUI RPC password..." stage, but I performed all of the steps and it still can't find the client. If installing BOINC is a somewhat advanced Linux operation, just let me know and I'll come back to it in a month once I've had more time to explore. Thanks! |

Posted 11 Sep 2008 by Tehhund Post: I'm using Fedora 8, but I've only been using Linux for about a week so I don't know how to troubleshoot this, and no amount of searching has turned up an answer so far. I installed the BOINC client and manager, and set the client to run as a service at boot. I rebooted, and it seems to be running, because I checked: @localhost ~]$ ps aux | grep boinc However, when I launch the manager to attach to rosetta@home, I get this error: Authorization failed connecting to running client. I checked, and both the client (boinc_client) and the manager (boinc_manager) are in /usr/bin. So I'm lost. I did find two text files named boinc-client in other folders, but I'm not sure if those are affecting anything. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! |
