1) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC on Gentoo Linux (Message 30456) Posted 8 Jan 2010 by factorial8 Post: The Gentoo installation system enables the installation process to print messages on the terminal at various stages including at the end. It also includes a startup script to cause the program to be started at boot time; this is /etc/init.d/boinc. The instructions told me to attach to a project by running "/etc/init.d/boinc attach", which prompted me to enter the URL and then the key. Of course I did that, but I got the error I quoted. I tried calling boinc directly as you suggest, and it enabled me to attach - thanks. BOINC is now running happily. I'd better raise a bug on the Gentoo implementation, or at least its instructions. -- Rgds Peter

2) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC on Gentoo Linux (Message 30453) Posted 8 Jan 2010 by factorial8 Post: I'm installing BOINC on a new i5 box running Gentoo Linux. (Gentoo compiles everything from source; this box is ~amd64 and has installed sci-misc/boinc-6.10.18.) Installation goes fine, but when I run "/etc/init.d/boinc attach", as instructed by the post-inst instructions, I get an immediate "can't connect to localhost". The graphics card is a (PNY) Quadro FX580. I can't remember what I did to a previous installation to escape from this; can anyone remind me, please? -- Rgds Peter.
