People,
Some years ago this used to work for me but for the last few
versions of
Fedora that I have used (12, 14 and now 16) I haven't had any luck
- the
client keeps stopping.
Has anyone got the latest version going on F16 x86_64?
Thanks,
Phil.
Hi Phil:
You have to add your username to the boing group, and then restart
your
computer.
Did that - trying to add a project causes a "Connecting" message
briefly
and then immediately returns to "Disconnected" and I see in the
terminal
where I started the client:
SIGSEGV: segmentation violation

I suppose I should log a bug report somewhere but this is not a high
priority app for me but it would be nice if it would "just work" . .
Thanks,
Phil.
Phil:
After adding my username to the boinc group, I made sure the service
was
enabled and running (using systemd), and then I started "boincmgr".
Then
I went to "Advanced -> Select computer -> Host name: localhost", and
as
password I put the content of the file
/var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg
But maybe you should file a bug.
Thanks! - I eventually got it working with a blank password (ie only
CR/LF i the file). Now my computer can be of use to some other people's
scientific research again!
Regards,
Phil.
