Topic 191394

Hi. Today i tried the new Boincclient on my Kubuntu 5.10 system. When i try to run the Boincmanager there were problems binding to the GUI(some fonts were missing).
That issue i had even since Boinc 5.2.6.
When i tried to run the boinc_client it got really nasty. It spew out error messages on an on, but i couldn't stop it. after half a minute the messages stopped for themself. See here :

Boinc 5.4.9 Linux No GUI

Check, if TCP ports 31416 or 1043 are used by another application:

> lsof -Pi | grep 31416

Only BOINC and science apps should be listed.

Michael

PS: Just noticed that after reverting back to port 31416 BOINC is the *bad guy* using ports registered by others:

boinc 21252 hawkeye 5u IPv4 58940 TCP *:xqosd (LISTEN)

Thank you for your reply !

Thank you for your reply ! But it doesn't help.
I run boincclient with --no_Gui_rpc option in the commandline. I have hoped, that i can see the GUI of the Boincclient. Must be my system. I want to update my system in the near future also. So maybe this problem is then solved anyway.

Hmm, you disable the GUI

Hmm, you disable the GUI communication in the client, and then you're surprised that GUI does not work?

I had the same problem

I had the same problem because I installed two instances of BOINC - one from repository and second from official site. After deleting this from repository everything started work :)

I had the same bug on Debian.

I had the same bug on Debian. I noticed the lo interface was not configured. I solved it typing :

fconfig lo 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0

I also had a similar bug because of rosetta processes (from WCG) still running while boinc had been stopped and killed. I solved it typing :

ps afx | grep roset

then I killed each process.
