1) Message boards : Questions and problems : OSX BOINC 6.12.35 "you currently are not authorized to manage the client" Message 59847 Posted 20 Jan 2015 by tikimojo

I've got an Apple dual G5 (PPC, pre-intel) from 2006 which sits around service mp3's. OSX 10.5.8 For years I've run BOINC and the SETI project without a problem. Recently I installed the BOINC 6.12.35 update and now I can't get it to run. Whenever I launch boinc it tells me: "you currently are not authorized to manage the client. to run BOINC as this user please - reinstall boinc answering "yes" to the question about non-administrative users or - contact your administrator to add you to the "boinc_master" user group." The installer does not offer choices regarding users. The question does not come up and I can't find anything that would trigger it. I dug around on your site and I found this page: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Tools_for_Mac_OS_X which talks about a script called AddRemoveUser, and provides this link to download it: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/AddRemoveUser.zip It expands out to a binary file, when I attempt to run it OSX says: "sudo: unable to execute ./AddRemoveUser: Bad CPU type in executable" ...and I'm afraid that's it. Am I the last person still running BOINC and seti@home on a PPC machine? any help is appreciated. - Steve - sbp@tikimojo.com
