I recently installed Boinc from fedora yum
And when I try to run, it tries to connect but ends up as disconnected. I also tried to connect manually, using local host and my or rott passwd still can't connect or add any projects.

On a side note: The version I installed via script 6.6.17 runs as expected.


Any ideas on what I need to do to fix ?


thanks

thanks, all I needed was the install/setup doc to get going

Well, still doesn't work.

I (un/re) installed a couple of times just to make sure I was doing everything right.

Basically boincmgr hangs at startup, I see the gui but nothing works
menu items tabs etc all frozen.

the boinc demon is running and my login is a member of the boinc group but...

Appl doesn't even close, I have to kill the process manually

What a pain... suggestions?

looks like reboot fixed the dead gui issue but still the initial problem remains.

When I try to connect to localhost, it pauses a minute while stating "connecting to localhost" then finally says disconnected.

I added myself to /usr/sbin/usermod -G boinc -a username
and also set a password in /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg

as outlined in the read me but still no work

btw: the yum version of boinc gui is 6.4.7

any ideas?

There are several threads on the site about this behaviour when there's a LARGE number of WUs in the queue.

There's a button in newer versions of BOINC to cure this.

Have a read of this thread for more details.

Well, I spoke too soon GUI is still dead on startup.

Unless someone has a solution, I'll un-install this turkey.

interesting, but I'm not running a firewall.
And even if I were, why does the Linux version I downloaded and installed from the download site work and the yum version does not?

The Fedora version is not maintained by this site.
You'll need to find the Fedora maintainer, and ask her/him.
