hi i need help though.


i am using kodibuntu with boinc headless

configured rpc, ufw and /etc/init.d for daemon.


getting the same error here, whether joining-acc with user pw, BAMid+weak-auth

also after "rm -rf acc**" in /var/lib/boinc-client


is there a workaround - maybe editing xml-files or saving xmls from another client and alter?

finally i got a workaround to log in to BAM


install "boinctui" which is a text-user-interface to get your projects and has some nice features to easily configure your tasks.


in ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install boinctui

to get to menu is F9

after you got the working-units running you can close boinctui and they still remain being calculated.


cheers

I am using Ubuntu 21.10. When I try to use BOINC mananger I get the following error: failed to change to directory "/var/lib/boinc-client" permission denied. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I tried reistalling boinc several times and got the same error.

I think the instructions at this link at the BOINC GitHub source code repository will be what you need to fix your issue:

Thanks for the info. I tried all the steps listed at that link and now get the following error: BOINC Manager is not able to start a BOINC clent. Please run the client and try again. Any ideas?

Finally got BOINC running. Had to use /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart in a terminal.
