Doing: $ rpm -qlv boinc-client-7.2.42-6.gitdd0d630.fc23.x86_64 | tail -1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 3 15:20 /var/lib/boinc Maybe this should be set to boinc:boinc? boinc-client-7.2.42-7.gitdd0d630.fc23 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 23. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-666300858f Hi Adri, thank you for submitting the bugreport. Comment-2 update should fix your problem. Have a nice day boinc-client-7.2.42-7.gitdd0d630.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with $ su -c 'dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing update boinc-client' You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-666300858f boinc-client-*.7* not only sets permissions on /var/lib/boinc to 0775/boinc, but also on a couple of other files (e.g. /usr/share/locale/*/*.mo).
What you probably want is using %attr instead of %defattr:

boinc-client-7.2.42-7.gitdd0d630.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. I did a fresh install of Fedora 23 but seem to have the same problem, which still persists after installing 7.2.42-7. Before installing output of 'sudo ls -al /var/lib/boinc': ls: cannot access /var/lib/boinc: No such file or directory After 'sudo dnf install boinc-client boinc-manager' the result of the ls-command: total 0 drwxrwxr-x. 1 boinc boinc 0 Nov 9 15:53 . drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 770 Nov 21 08:28 .. So still no files in the directory.

Your folder permissions are okay, then your problem is some elsewhere. It is correct that the directory /var/lib/boinc is empty after installing boinc-client and boinc-manager for the first time: $ rpm -ql boinc-client boinc-manager | grep /var /var/lib/boinc After the fresh installment of boinc-client and boinc-manager you would populate the directory by setting up an account (see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_BOINC_on_Fedora) and choosing a project (see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php). :-) Sorry: I was too early indeed. Boinc is working fine again after restarting the service and the manager. I didn't even had to follow the steps in https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_BOINC_on_Fedora: Select Advanced -> Select computer... from the Boinc Manager menu. Put localhost in for "Host name" and the contents of /var/lib/boinc /gui_rpc_auth.cfg for "Password" and hit "OK". In the past I had to follow those steps before getting boinc working, that's why missing files in /var/lib/boinc seemed a showstopper to me. *** Bug 1284394 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
