Fedora 32: GUI- client is gray and inactive
(Message 102249)
Posted 19 Dec 2020 by AlekseyBoinc Post: Use top or htop to see the running processes and see whether boinc client is running. I used a System monitor (which allows you to make selections by the name of the process) and saw two processes: boincmgr (under the user ivan) and boinc (under the boinc user). Navigate to /usr/bin and open a command terminal and start the boinc client in the terminal. I forcibly terminated both boinc processes (so as not to get an error : Another instance of BOINC is running) and started the client from the folder /usr/bin and got this output: base) [ivan@localhost ~]$ cd /usr/bin (base) [ivan@localhost bin]$ ls -l | grep boinc -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1026920 Sep 19 01:39 boinc -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1026920 Sep 19 01:39 boinc_client -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 334552 Sep 19 01:39 boinccmd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4123744 Sep 19 01:39 boincmgr -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 326200 Sep 19 01:39 boincscr (base) [ivan@localhost bin]$ ./boinc_client 19-Dec-2020 10:35:50 [---] cc_config.xml not found - using defaults 19-Dec-2020 10:36:00 Another instance of BOINC is running. (base) [ivan@localhost bin]$ ./boinc 19-Dec-2020 10:43:36 [---] cc_config.xml not found - using defaults 19-Dec-2020 10:43:46 Another instance of BOINC is running. And the client didn't start even in an inactive state. The GUI application appears only when I start the manager (while it's inactive and there's no output in the console): (base) [ivan@localhost bin]$ ./boincmgr At the same time, not a single boinc- process appeared in System monitor. |

Posted 17 Dec 2020 by AlekseyBoinc Post: That listing isn't the lockfile is it? The one that's supposed to be deleted, followed by a reboot? What file are you mean? File gui_rpc_auth.cfg is represented in listing : ... -rwxrwxrwx. 1 boinc boinc 32 Dec 16 15:23 gui_rpc_auth.cfg ... Yes, I sometimes reboot my system (as many other users). |

Posted 17 Dec 2020 by AlekseyBoinc Post: You say that when you start the gui “it’s not active”. What are the symptoms? what do you see? What error messages are presented? No any masseges. only gray inactive GUI interface. Firstly, could you scan the whole drive for gui_rpc_auth.cfg, in some implementations it is in, for example, /var/lib/boinc[_client]. If you find it look at the contents, it should hold just the password with no eol etc. Yes, I found this file in /var/lib/boinc and gave full rights to it: (base) [ivan@localhost boinc]$ ls -l total 92 -rw-r--r--. 1 boinc boinc 52770 Dec 16 15:23 all_projects_list.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 boinc boinc 5928 Dec 17 07:56 client_state_prev.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 boinc boinc 5928 Dec 17 07:56 client_state.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 boinc boinc 3080 Dec 17 07:56 coproc_info.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 boinc boinc 112 Dec 17 07:53 daily_xfer_history.xml -rwxrwxrwx. 1 boinc boinc 32 Dec 16 15:23 gui_rpc_auth.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 boinc boinc 0 Dec 17 07:56 lockfile drwxrwx--x. 2 boinc boinc 4096 Dec 16 15:23 notices -rw-r--r--. 1 boinc boinc 0 Dec 16 15:23 stderrgpudetect.txt -rw-r--r--. 1 boinc boinc 544 Dec 17 07:56 stdoutgpudetect.txt -rw-r--r--. 1 boinc boinc 2605 Dec 17 07:57 time_stats_log In file only 1 line: nano gui_rpc_auth.cfg 3f0224b........7877m2 If Boinc Manager comes up but is blank try going into >file>select computer and entering the computer name and the password you’ve (hopefully) just found or created. That should connect the manager to the client. I tried this. I discover hostname like this: (base) [ivan@localhost boinc]$ sudo hostnamectl [sudo] password for ivan: Static hostname: localhost.localdomain Icon name: computer-desktop Chassis: desktop Machine ID: 3fcff07d60964f9ea82e973992a55989 Boot ID: 7eee0bace5584b8ca5618ce7ab778696 Operating System: Fedora 32 (KDE Plasma) CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:32 Kernel: Linux 5.9.13-100.fc32.x86_64 Architecture: x86-64 But when I wrote localhost.localdomain in a field 'hostname' and my password in a field 'password'- nothing happened (including after restarting the client). |

Posted 17 Dec 2020 by AlekseyBoinc Post: If you run top is the client running? If not you can start it with, I tried this: sudo systemctl stop boinc-client sudo systemctl disable boinc-client sudo reboot And after reboot: sudo systemctl enable boinc-client sudo systemctl start boinc-client I also tried changed word 'boinc-client' on 'boinc-client.service' in all command, but anyway Boinc- client doesn't work. |
