Hello, sorry if I am asking silly.
I got my other PC reinstalled with Linux. Downloaded BOINC client again and now can't get it up. Getting this message: BOINC Manager is not currently connected to a BOINC client.
Please use the 'FileSelect Computer...' menu option to connect up to a BOINC client.
To connect up to your local computer please use 'localhost' as the host name.

But what is the password? Tried everything and still no luck.

Thank you

Jakub

The password is in the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file

The password is in the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file

Good, but how do I get to the file? The system Ubuntu which is on that computer displays folders in way I dont understand at all. It would be easy with WinXP, but not the case. Thank you for help. Hope we get it crunching away asap.

Just asked someone to find it and no luck. file either not there, or we are doing something wrong.
It downloaded both 2 files on the first download.
And restart did not help. Leaving both boxes empty as suggested at another forum did not help either.
Oh and by the way, never received any email with password. Not even on my first comp registration. Am using free mail account, so, no spam filter.

I don't know Unbutu, just Suse and Mandriva.

For me gui_rpc_auth.cfg is in the BOINC folder (in /home/my_login/BOINC because I installed it here manually. I suppose you installed Boinc with apt-get or aptitude or something similar, and I don't know where Boinc is installed by these programs)

So you'll have to find yourself where is the BOINC folder or the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file.

In command-line try:
locate gui_rpc_auth.cfg
or
locate BOINC

If locate isn't installed on your machine try
find / -iname "boinc" -type f -print
or
find / -iname "gui_rpc_auth.cfg" -type f -print

Often in Linux, programs are installed in /usr/share and /usr/bin

The password used to connect boinc to the boincmanager and the password of the Rosetta project are different. To have a password on this project, go in your account, and click on password to choose a password.

You also have to be sure that boinc is running:
ps aux | grep boinc
should show you whether Boinc is running or not.

Thank you. its working OK now.

If you are running Ubuntu, you need the boinc-client as well as the manager. Do sudo apt-get install boinc-client. That should give you an attach to project prompt next time you launch Boinc manager.
