I'm not sure what to do with that.Īdditionally, in the Home directory there are other boinc files, all_projects_list, client_state, coproc_info, etc. The second is in Home, with rw for the owner, read-only for my group, and none for other.

This has rw permissions for root, read-only for boinc, and no access for others. One is in the etc/boinc-client folder as you mentioned. I found the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file in two locations. Save the file and reboot and you should connect the Manager to the client.I tried the commands you provided here, nothing happened, at least nothing I could observe. You can either null out the default hashed password or put in your own. $ ln -s /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg gui_rpc_auth.cfg Make another softlink to the file in your home directory. There should already be a softlink to the file in the /etc/boinc-client directory. I assume my user name should be in this list as well?Ĭheck your file permissions of the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file. This is correct, boinc and video are the users for this group. You can check the users in the boinc group with: I typed in the code line verabim at a command prompt, and nothing happened.
#BOINC MANAGER NOT OPENING HOW TO#
# usermod -a -G boinc $(whoami)Sorry, I understand what you said, I don't know how to apply usermod here. You will also need to add yourself to the boinc group in order for the Manager to connect: For the record, this laptop does not have any usable GPUs.

Your user needs to belong to those groups also.Got it. The BOINC client runs in the boinc group and belongs to that group as well as the video group if you use the gpu. You are running the service version of BOINC.
