You may be correct about the blank default password, however I was under the impression that the reason the file was blank was because a user running boincmgr wouldn't be able to write gui_rpc_auth.cfg as it's set to root perms.
No, this bug is not fixed. With the default permissions of /etc/boinc- client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg (0640) the manager starts up and simply doesn't connect to the running boinc-client. Closing boincmgr, stopping boinc- client, changing the permissions of /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg to 0644 and restarting the client and manager makes it work. In my tests I cleared the value I had stored in gui_rpc_auth.xml as it was in the default installation and the case still holds. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248715 Title: Change /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg to 0644 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/1248715/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
