2) Message boards : Questions and problems : 10.5 Leopard BOINC won't run as a service (Message 30593) Posted 19 Jan 2010 by Penguirl Post: I upgraded my old G4 iMac to 10.5 Leopard to see how things went before possibly installing it on my Power Mac or PowerBook. If I make BOINC a service with Charlie's script, the daemon will not start and BOINCManager.app will not connect to localhost. If I remove boinc from /Library/StartupItems even without reboot, logout, or even quitting BOINCManager.app then it will run projects. Does anyone know of a possible solution short of reverting back to 10.4 Tiger?
3) Message boards : Questions and problems : OS X Permissions Issue (Message 30532) Posted 14 Jan 2010 by Penguirl Post: I just installed 6.10.28 and everything looked good at the first launch of BOINCManager after reboot. One thing I've neglected to mention is that whenever I upgrade BOINCManager the daemon fails to start at the post install auto-launch. After reboot I never see that error again. This has been the case for me since about v5.x, I thought maybe it was related to running BOINC as a service.
4) Message boards : Questions and problems : OS X Permissions Issue (Message 30252) Posted 18 Dec 2009 by Penguirl Post: Will do, thank you both. Should I watch for .26 at /dl/?C=M;O=D or is it going to be a public release?
5) Message boards : Questions and problems : OS X Permissions Issue (Message 30242) Posted 18 Dec 2009 by Penguirl Post: After installing 6.10.25 and rebooting, I received the same error message when I launched BOINCManager for the first time. Later after another reboot I was able to open in but this is pretty much the same behaviour as 6.10.21 and the previous release. Checking the boinc_master group I find that I am still a member of it.
6) Message boards : Questions and problems : OS X Permissions Issue (Message 29538) Posted 17 Dec 2009 by Penguirl Post: So I checked NetInfo Manager and my name is in the boinc_master group, I will give 6.10.25 a try. Thank you for the reply and the link.
7) Message boards : Questions and problems : OS X Permissions Issue (Message 29532) Posted 17 Dec 2009 by Penguirl Post: Both 6.10.21 and the previous version have displayed this issue. I am the admin and sole user on my DP G5 running 10.4.11, BOINC is run as a service. Initially after boot I can access BOINCManager just fine, but after a few days without a reboot I get an error stating: "BOINC Manager 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." This is a fairly minor annoyance, can I remedy it by adding my short user name to boinc_master group in NetInfo Manager? Shouldn't I already be a member of this group, being the admin, only user, and the original installer of BOINCManager?
8) Message boards : Questions and problems : Apple SU 2009-002 and Make_BOINC_Service.sh (Message 26755) Posted 23 Aug 2009 by Penguirl Post: FWIW, Security Update 2009-003 seems to have resolved the problem and BOINC is now running as a service.
9) Message boards : Questions and problems : Apple SU 2009-002 and Make_BOINC_Service.sh (Message 25149) Posted 31 May 2009 by Penguirl Post: Recently I updated my PPC Macs (G4 Powerbook, G4 iMac and G5 Power Mac) running 10.4.11 to Security Update 2009-002. At about the same time, I also upgraded BOINCManager to 6.6.20. I run BOINC as a service on all three machines, shortly after the upgrades I noticed that BOINC was no longer running as a service. I tried re-running Make_BOINC_Service.sh script, and updating to 6.6.29 to no avail. The behaviour was inconsistent, sometimes it seemed the the daemon would finish the current work unit and fail to start another, other times it seemed to stop when I logged out. Sometimes the process would show up in top via ssh and sometimes it would not. Downgrading to v6.2.18 did not resolve the issue either. Suspecting it was the SU, I upgraded back to 6.6.29 and reverted my secondary desktop to 10.4.11, Security Update 2009-001. Now it is happily running at 100% with no user logged in. I am going to contact Apple about the situation however I expect no response whatsoever from them. So since I'm pretty much on my own in dealing with this issue, does anyone have any suggestions how to get around the problem w/o reverting to SU 2009-001? Perhaps an easier way to revert to the previous Security Update instead of starting from the 10.4.6 install disc? Would I be at much security risk if I did revert my primary desktop and notebook to the previous Security Update? I wish I knew how to fix the Make_BOINC_Service.sh script but my skills in this area are minimal. If Charlie Fenton or someone else could take a look at it that would be much appreciated. Thanks all, Tina
