Hi Folks, I'm crunching for several projects since January with different client versions (downloaded or self compiled). Few days ago I downloaded dev client 4.30 for windows for testing - and love the statistics tab! Trying to run same version (download version) on Linux raised an error when starting boincmgr: connection to client running on localhost failed. Same problem comes with cvs version (4.32, 2005-04-14). OK, these are dev versions and are not said to be stable but maybe I'm only lacking of some config changes which should be made in client_state.xml or somewhere else... If you've an advise what could be the problem I#d be pleased to here from you. For the moment I reverted to custom build 4.23 which runs fine. But unfortunately without statistics tab :-( Thanx in advance, Marcel BTW: I'm running boinc client first and boincmgr second so it should work!? |

Hi Ian. Thanks for your advice. I already used the client option "allow_remote_gui_rpc" so this should not change anything but I tried it anyway. Creating the file "remote_hosts.cfg" with following content did not give the wanted: #------------------------ 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain #------------------------ Reading through checkin_notes (cvs of 04-14) gave another file "remote_hosts" (w/o cfg-ending) so I tried to symlink the cfg-file but again no error change. I'll try another - newer - cvs version (or maybe the new 4.32 download file) and post my experience here. So long, Marcel |

To Ian and all others: I downloaded the new 4.32 Client/Manager package and this one works fine for me. |

<blockquote>Hi. This might help....really not sure. Have you set up the remote_hosts.cfg file? </blockquote> Here the same problem (Debian GNU/Linux sid). I have created the remote_hosts.cfg, but to no avail. "Connection failed" (version 4.32). Stefan |

"Connection failed" (version 4.32).</blockquote> Hi Stefan, are you sure you've started boinc client app before trying to start boingmgr? As you see I had the same problem with 4.30 and it's solved for me since 4.32. Another possible chance is using console parameter "-allow_remote_gui_rpc" when starting boinc client (not manager). I'm using a mix of Debian sarge + sid. Marcel |

<blockquote>Here the same problem (Debian GNU/Linux sid). I have created the remote_hosts.cfg, but to no avail. "Connection failed" (version 4.32).</blockquote> Hi Marcel, I start my boing client with the following cron job at startup, so it is always running when I try boincmgr: # use /bin/sh to run commands, no matter what /etc/passwd says SHELL=/bin/sh # setiathome @reboot cd /home/stefan/setiathome; ./boinc >/dev/null 2>/dev/null I also tried the option "-allow_remote_gui_rpc" but I still get the "connection failed" error. Any further ideas ? Stefan |

Hi Marcel, version 4.41 works ! But it was a long and stony way... It needs the WxWidgets version >=2.6.0 to compile the GUI and the latest Debian packages are 2.4.x ... So first I compiled and installed the WxWindows libraries and then compiled Boinc 4.41. The resulting boinc_gui (boincmgr) is a 29MB executable !!! But it instantly connected to the boinc client. Unfortunately it is not very stable... Stefan |

Hi Marcel, I just compiled the current development version 4.68. boinc_gui'sm file size is 7 MB. Both client and GUI seem to work well. Stefan |
