shlomif (In reply to comment #0) > Description of problem: > > The version supplied with Mangeia2 (7.0.6) is marked "Pre-release". The boinc > website http://boinc.berkley.edu/ lists version 7.0.28 as the recommended > version. Hi, I have prepared an up-to-date .src.rpm of boinc-client for Cauldron. You can find it here: http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/mageia/distrib/cauldron/SRPMS/core/release/boinc-client-7.0.28-1.mga3.src.rpm You can build it using "rpmbuild --rebuild" and let me know if it works for you. If it does, we can consider putting it in updates_testing or backports_testing. BTW, the URL to boinc is: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ You missed an "e". Regards, -- Shlomi Fish WIP. Thanks for the request. I will deal with it Shlomi. Thanks. Status:

ASSIGNED Sorry about the missing "e". It compiles on 64 bit Mageia 1 after urpme-ing mesaglut3. I won't try to install it on that system because there is another versions of boinc running. It compiles, installs and runs on 32 bit Mageia 2. Tools -> Add project or account manager... does nothing obvious. Then after a longish wait There is a pop-up window that says, "BOINC Manager - Unexpected Exit The BOINC client has exited unexpectedly 3 times within the last 2 minutes. Would you like to restart it again? Help No Yes" Clicking "Yes" does nothing obvious. I believe that it should prompt for a URL of the chosen project. Sorry, I went straight to Advanced View, back in Simple View, and adding "boinc,boincmgr" to privoxy (I haven't used privoxy before) it displays, "Unable to connect to core client" and I can not enter text into the Projects box. Fresh install of Mageia 2 32 bit plus updates - no privoxy this time. Just tried boinc-client-7.0.33-1.mga3.src.rpm but could not add a project. Please test boinc-client-7.0.28-1.mga2 It is running on Mageia 2 32 bit after; 1. going to MCC and setting boinc-client to start on-boot, 2. making the "password" file /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg readable by an ordinary user (psd), 3. copying that file to my home directory, /home/psd, 4. THEN selecting BOINC manager from the Gnome menus. No success simply selecting BOINC manager from the Gnome menus as user "psd", or typing "boincmgr" as psd in /home/psd. It gets stuck at "Unable to connect to core client". Previously I have had a separate X session with "boinc" as an ordinary user on virtual terminal 8. I have gotten the BOINC client to work under both 32 and 64 bit MGA2. My only suggestion would be that it might be worth putting up a popup at install to warn users that to connect to the client they need to add the appropriate users to group BOINC. I'm currently running SETI@home and Rosetta@home with no problems. CC:

wrw105 Mageia 2 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''22 November''. Mageia 2 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result and as this bug is fixed in mga3 we are closing it. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. -- The Mageia Bugsquad Status:
