Ok I understand. It's a different problem. I also forgot that to use it as a regular user I changed permisions so that any user can launch the boincmgr
chmod 777 /usr/bin/boincmgr

I had a similar issue. I run Debian and found that /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg was an empty file.

file /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg
/etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg: very short file (no magic)
Located the same file gui_rpc_auth.cfg in /home/myuser/ directory .
$ locate gui_rpc_auth.cfg

It contained an ASCII text, with no line terminators.

So I copied it (as root):
# cp /home/myuser/gui_rpc_auth.cfg  /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg 


And now it connects perfectly to my localhost.

(beware if you look for more "gui:rpc..." files, /var/lib/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg is a symbolic link to /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg)
