Thanks.

Could you please start the BOINC client with "./boinc_client -no_gui_rpc".

Looks like the GUI RPC port could not be bind. Is the localhost entry right set in the /etc/hosts ? - Did a ping localhost work ? - Could you ping your hostname (rupsha) ?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Yes I can ping both rupsha and localhost (they are the same machine). Here is my /etc/hosts file.

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 rupsha

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

'boinc_client -no_gui_rpc' says 'This computer is not attached to any projects'.

That's OK. It simply states you didn't attach to SETI yet.

The easiest way to fix this is to copy the "account_setiathome.berkely.edu.xml" file from your other, working host to your linux BOINC folder.
