BOINC Error

Hello,

I've recently installed boinc and I am unable to get connected.

I've started the boinc daemon, and when I start the boinc_gui as root in terminal I get:
Retrieving current status - > which switches to Error unable to connect to core client.

In case it is relevent here are some messages which appear in terminal while running:

02:29:54 PM: looking for catalog 'wxstd' in path '/usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES:/usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES:/usr/share/locale/:/usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8:/usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES:/usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES:/usr/share/locale/:/usr/share/locale/en_US:/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES:/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES:/usr/share/locale/:/usr/share/locale/en'.

02:29:54 PM: using catalog 'BOINC Manager' from '/usr/share/locale/en_US/BOINC Manager.mo'.
connect: Operation now in progress

Is there anything else I need to set up first or?

Re: BOINC Error

I would really like to know an answer to this as well.  I am having the exact same problem.  Though my terminal output is different, it's just giving me a bunch of crap about ALSA  and i think it's completely unrelated to it's connectivity problems.  I turned iptables all the way off just to make sure but that's not the problem.

Re: BOINC Error

Actually for anyone interested:

chown username:boinc /home/username/gui_rpc_auth.cf   

did the trick

gui_rpc_auth.cf being symbolically linked to /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg of course.

Re: BOINC Error

#Include the -h option for chown (as sudo or root),  to change the link itself and not its target. This worked for me.

chown -h username:boinc /home/username/gui_rpc_auth.cf
