when i open boinc it says cant connect to boinc client or something like that. cant figure it out. The download process is slow and intermittent. Hopefully everyone hass some wu's left in their cache so it isn't a problem at this time. |

when i open boinc it says cant connect to local host or something like that. cant figure it out. That's been happening to me occasionally on one of my machines (XP Pro, BOINC 5.4.11) lately. Not sure why, I've been stopping BOINC completely and restarting it and it seems to be fine after that (at least until the next time). My temps are fine, no driver updates, but I haven't done a memory test yet. I guess that could be the problem. [EDIT] just saw the other post on this by Shane, I don;t think I'm having the same issue as he is. [/EDIT] Calm Chaos Forum...Join Calm Chaos Now |

let me elaborate on this, i just installed linux and installed boinc and it wont connect so i cant attach to a project. Sounds like a linux rights issue to me, but you will need someone more au fait with linux than me to guide you. Meantime, if the system is being any more responsive for you than it is for me, try doing an "advanced search" on "linux rights" (without the quotes). I'm sure similar things have come up a number of times relatively recently. F. |

when i open boinc it says cant connect to local host or something like that. cant figure it out. May be a hung boinc executable in memory that is holding the port open. Make sure all copyies of BOINC that are in memory are killed. Then, restart BOINC. |

attach project= BOINC Manager is not currently connected to a BOINC client. Please use the 'File\\Select Computer...' menu option to connect up to a BOINC client. To connect up to your local computer please use 'localhost' as the host name. connect to localhost= BOINC Manager is not able to connect to a BOINC client. Would you like to try to connect again? cant open package for newest version of boinc. im in a pickle here maybe someone has a fix? thanks shane |

Someone posted this a while ago and I saved it because I had the same proble with a 'sh' file: open Konsole/console navigate to the Desktop (Capital D) Type sh boinc_5.10.18_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh(or whatever it's called, it must be Exact and have the .sh at the end) that should create a folder named "BOINC" on the desktop open folder, click on Boinc, then Boincmgr.exe As far as I remember for the other part, go to Advanced tab, Select computer, and select localhost. Try searching the messageboards for linux help at the beginning of October. There was a thread that dealt with this. [edit]Here is the thread. [edit] Clk2HlpSetiCty:::PayIt4ward |
