Package: boinc-manager Version: 7.0.2+dfsg-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I purged and removed the old boinc-manager removing also the /var/lib/boinc-client directory due to some graphical issues I was facing then. Then installed boinc-client and boinc-manager afresh and rebooted the system. The rebooting was doing in the hopes that the boinc-client daemon would start automatically but it seems it doesn't.
According to http://wiki.debian.org/BOINC which has a simple two-liner for users, it says and I quote "BOINC comes as an official part of Debian. Just install the boinc package. Then start the boincmgr application to join the project of your liking." But if I try to use boincmgr and try to attach the project, two things happen. a. On the GUI I get after a minute or two :- The BOINC client has exited unexpectedly 3 times within the last 2 minutes. Would you like to restart it again? b. On the CLI I get this :- $ boincmgr execvp(/home/shirish/boinc, --redirectio, --launched_by_manager) failed with error 2! execvp(/home/shirish/boinc, --redirectio, --launched_by_manager) failed with error 2! execvp(/home/shirish/boinc, --redirectio, --launched_by_manager) failed with error 2! Now I tried to figure out if boinc daemon is started or not and by default it seems it is not started. $ boinccmd --get_state can't connect to local host $ sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client status Status of BOINC core client: stopped. I could simply just to $sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client start but this should not be needed, right ? c. To top on things, if I try to use boinc-manager > Advanced > Select Computer it asks for Host Name and password. In my case the Host Name would be localhost.But the moment I put localhost therein I get a big password which I don't know from where its coming. d. I am confused, another part of the issue wasn't/isn't Multiarch supposed to get rid of ia32-libs ? http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch Looking forward to know where am I going wrong. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages boinc-manager depends on: ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libgcc1 1:4.6.2-5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.30.2-4 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.8-2 ii libnotify4 0.7.4-1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.7.9-2 ii libstdc++6 4.6.2-5 ii libwxbase2.8-0 2.8.12.1-3 ii libwxgtk2.8-0 2.8.12.1-3 Versions of packages boinc-manager recommends: ii boinc-client 7.0.2+dfsg-1 ii ia32-libs-gtk 20111001 Versions of packages boinc-manager suggests: ii libgl1-mesa-glx 7.11.1-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.1-2 -- no debconf information -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
