mga9-64 Previous version was working earlier today but this version do not :( I have a script starting at login to desktop, with this line: boincmgr -d /mnt/WDred/AnvMorgan/BOINC/ ( I specify place for files ) Popup message (translated so may differ) : BOINC Manager fail to launch a BOINC client. Please run the client and try again. Nothing in system journal. Similar thing was happening randomly in Mageia 8, but when that happened i could often start it by issuing that command manually, or logging out and in again. I never understood what was the problem. I think it have been OK all time on Mageia 9, until this update. (Mga9 system fresh installed, kept /home except most of ~/.config)
Tested: Manually started boinc-client ( using MCC > System > Manage system services by enabling or disabling them ) Now when starting boinc-manager, I get another popup message: Invalid client RPC password. Try reinstalling BOINC.
Hi Morgan. That's weird. I haven't had any issue with this version on my machines, using it for about a month. Could you please post the outputs of: systemctl status boinc-client id $USER | grep -c boinc ls -l /mnt/WDred/AnvMorgan/BOINC/gui_rpc_auth.cfg Do you have both systemd and your launch script active?
> Do you have both systemd and your launch script active? Before, I did not have systemd start it, left that to boincmanager (which I let my script launch after other applications) Now, Ii have used MCC to set it to start at boot. $ systemctl status boinc-client ● boinc-client.service - Berkeley Open Infrastructure Network Computing Client Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/boinc-client.service; enabled; preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2023-09-04 09:02:53 CEST; 45min ago Main PID: 5249 (boinc) Tasks: 2 (limit: 19169) Memory: 26.4M CPU: 5.568s CGroup: /system.slice/boinc-client.service └─5249 /usr/bin/boinc --dir /var/lib/boinc sep 04 09:29:47 svarten.tribun boinc[5249]: 04-Sep-2023 09:29:47 [---] Suspending computation - CPU is busy sep 04 09:30:47 svarten.tribun boinc[5249]: 04-Sep-2023 09:30:47 [---] Resuming computation sep 04 09:30:57 svarten.tribun boinc[5249]: 04-Sep-2023 09:30:57 [---] Suspending computation - CPU is busy sep 04 09:32:58 svarten.tribun boinc[5249]: 04-Sep-2023 09:32:58 [---] Resuming computation $ id $USER | grep -c boinc 0 $ ls -l /mnt/WDred/AnvMorgan/BOINC/gui_rpc_auth.cfg -rw------- 1 morgan kamo 32 dec 28 2019 /mnt/WDred/AnvMorgan/BOINC/gui_rpc_auth.cfg (me as normal user) BTW, due to problems with suspend-resume and kernel 6.4 + nvidia proprietary, this system use elder kernel, i.e currently 6.1.45-desktop-1.mga8 from mga8 backport.
Hi Morgan By the book, your user should be in the group boinc and files in the boinc folder should belong to boinc:boinc gui_rpc_auth.cfg should then be readable (and writable, I think) by the group. Could you test that, with systemd start only (no more script)?
OK did what you say. After reboot, boinc-client is active but do not perform work, and the message when launching boincmgr without parameters is gui_rpc_auth.cfg not found. Yes I did not tell it where to look... So I start it like before using $ boincmgr -d /mnt/WDred/AnvMorgan/BOINC/ Then it say gui_rpc_auth.cfg exists but can´t be read. The file was only group rw; 600. So I did $ sudo chmod 660 gui_rpc_auth.cfg Now message is Invalid client RPC password. Try reinstalling BOINC. Really reinstall to set new RPC password? I will try to read up on that. Later. Thanks for pushing me in the right direction :)
Hi Morgan It might be a confusing message you are getting. https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/4904 suggests: "You cannot run all debug flags at the same time, that's more information per second than an RPC can handle" you have to go to the data directory, search for cc_config.xml edit it (with a plain text editor) and change all the debug flags to 0 (zero), bar task, sched_ops and file_xfer, save the file and restart BOINC. I found also: https://techoverflow.net/2021/11/29/how-i-fixed-ubuntu-boinc-invalid-client-rpc-password-try-reinstalling-boinc/ with # Generate new RPC password sudo apt -y install pwgen pwgen 30 1 | sudo tee /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg # Fix some permission sudo chown root:boinc /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg sudo chown root:boinc /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg # Add current user to BOINC group sudo usermod -a -G boinc $USER # Restart BOINC client sudo systemctl restart boinc-client On my side, to place the boinc data at another location, I have done ln -s /var/lib/boinc /devel/boinc.d/boinc (with my user in group boinc, and all files owned by boinc:boinc, read/write access to group to gui_rpc_auth.cfg) In that way, I can just click on the boinc manager desktop icon and it opens with all the projects and tasks listed.
Generating a new password did not help: $ pwd /mnt/WDred/AnvMorgan/BOINC $ pwgen 30 1 | tee gui_rpc_auth.cfg *hidden by me* $ ls -al gui_rpc_auth.cfg -rw-rw---- 1 boinc boinc 31 sep 4 18:48 gui_rpc_auth.cfg and all debug flags in cc_config.xml are 1 (and I have never touched it) -> No change in result from comment 7 :( I will try linking the folder instead... later...
BTW, when I close boinc manager window, the process boincmgr still runs. Maybe it is supposed to sit in system tray? But is is not there (Plasma) I have to send it terminate signal to exit, and first then I can start boincmgr again to show window.
> all debug flags in cc_config.xml are 1 I mean 0 !
Hi Morgan The thing is that launching boinc-client by systemd, will lead to a boinc process looking into /var/lib/boinc If you change the working directory, you need also to update /usr/lib/systemd/system/boinc-client.service (with -d /your_new_folder instead of -d /var/lib/boinc) There is also the lockfile deletion to adjust accordingly When I launch Boinc Manager by the desktop icon, a boincmgr process appears. When I close Boinc Manager, the boincmgr process disappear; nothing on the systray. After either adjusting the systemd file or creating a symlink to /var/lib/boinc, you might want to delete ~/.cache/boincmgr and ~'.BOINC Manager' and restart.
Tried your linking method, fail too. Uninstall, clean, install this 7.24.1-1 , fail. Uninstall, clean, install *previous fail too*!! What is more to do for a complete reinstall of BOINC than below? Used MCC to stop service boinc-client, and $ sudo urpme boinc-manager boinc-client $ sudo rm -Rf /var/lib/boinc $ rm -Rf ~/.BOINC $ rm -Rf ~/.cache/boincmgr $ sudo urpmi --searchmedia release boinc-manager boinc-client (installed 7.22.2-1 versions OK) Enabled boinc-client to start at boot -rebooted- I see service boinc running. $ boincmgr -> message: "gui_rpc_auth.cfg not found."
boinc-client runs as user boinc. Try adding the user to the group boinc. Logout/in for the group change to take effect.

Also, when starting boincmgr the data directory will have to be specified. See "man boincmgr".
You are correct: $ boincmgr -d /var/lib/boinc works! THANKS! I thought, and it have worked before, to rely on default folder. Later will use this update in this bug and join back to the tasks... Bedtime :)
Good that you are getting there. Clicking on the Boinc icon will also launch Boinc Manager, using /var/lib/boinc working diretory by default.
> Clicking on the Boinc icon will also launch Boinc Manager, using > /var/lib/boinc working diretory by default. The thing is, that does not work here. And I have checked, it does not use any parameter. /usr/share/applications/boinc-manager.desktop
mga9-64 basically OK :) NOTE: possibly the desktop launch item could be improved to contain parameter "-d /var/lib/boinc" Plasma, nvidia-current, Intel Core i7 870 kernel 6.1.45-desktop-1.mga8 (6.4 sometimes fail suspemd-resume) It recognise CUDA and OpenCL (not tried, weak GPU, small VRAM...) Old data successfully reused. Apparently something in this new version is less forgiving to nonperfect setup ;) -Thank you for all help. Tested clean install of old version, then updated: Already my user was in group "boinc" Used MCC to stop service boinc-client, and $ sudo urpme boinc-manager boinc-client $ sudo rm -Rf /var/lib/boinc $ rm -Rf ~/.BOINC $ rm -Rf ~/.cache/boincmgr first installed old version 7.22.2-1 : $ sudo urpmi --searchmedia release boinc-manager boinc-client Enabled boinc-client to start at boot -rebooted- I see service boinc running. $ boincmgr -> message: "gui_rpc_auth.cfg not found." (same using the default launch item) $ boincmgr -d /var/lib/boinc -> success ! stopped manager and service, Updated to new version per this bug, started service, added "-d /var/lib/boinc" to launch item, clicked it, and -> success launching, did not try configure project. Linked it to my old data: Closed boincmgr, stopped service boinc-client $ rm -Rf ~/.BOINC $ rm -Rf ~/.cache/boincmgr $ sudo rm -Rf /var/lib/boinc $ sudo ln -s /mnt/WDred/boinc /var/lib/ (old data folder) $ sudo chown boinc:boinc /var/lib/boinc § sudo chmod 660 /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg ( I do not know why I needed to execute the two last commands... ... I guessed what was needed, and it works. For now... ;) ) Started service and clicked launch icon * And it launched and continue chewing the projects it had configured * :) Holding off OK for consideration of "-d /var/lib/boinc" launch parameter.

I don't know for how long it has been the case and it looks like I have been using only the one working!? Aynway, I don't have time to fully understand the history and it should be fixed now.

Ah yes there are two :) /usr/share/applications/boinc-manager.desktop /usr/share/applications//var/lib/boinc Neither sets path to files The difference is that /var/lib/boinc sets workdir to /var/lib/boinc. - And interestingly that seems to have the same effect - it works! So maybe remove the nonworking boinc-manager.desktop from the package?

Hi. Yep, it is what is done now with boinc-client-7.24.1-2 ;)
Perfect then! Doh copy paste havoc in comment 21: The two desktop files are /usr/share/applications/boinc-manager.desktop /usr/share/applications/boinc.desktop boinc.desktop sets workdir to /var/lib/boinc, and that method works.
Updated, rebooted, everything OK :)
