Description of problem: Problem #1 boinc-client daemon do not start after Boinc instalation immediately Problem #2 'root' access is required to setup Boinc Manager Problem #3 'root' access is required to setup Boinc Manager after reboot of PC Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): boinc-client-5.10.45-9.20080315svn.fc8.i386.rpm boinc-client-debuginfo-5.10.45-9.20080315svn.fc8.i386.rpm boinc-client-devel-5.10.45-9.20080315svn.fc8.i386.rpm boinc-manager-5.10.45-9.20080315svn.fc8.i386.rpm Explanation: After instalation via 'yum install boinc-client boinc-manager' I am not able to start Boinc Manager correctly because 'boinc-client daemon' is not running immediately past instalation. I must start 'boinc-client daemon'as root through '/sbin/chkconfig boinc-client on' and reboot my PC. '/sbin/chkconfig boinc-client start' - does not work Atter reboot I must 'Select computer' with these parameters (in Boinc Manager - Advanced Mode) host name: localhost password: content of file gui_rpc_auth.cfg (as root I must in Terminal execute this command 'gedit /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg') The same results I obtained after installation .rpm packages showed above in 'Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable)' Another problem is that after every reboot of PC I am again forced to insert 'localhost' and password (content of file gui_rpc_auth.cfg) as root.
(In reply to comment #0) > Description of problem: > Problem #1 > boinc-client daemon do not start after Boinc instalation immediately Correct. See the following part of Fedora packaging gudelines for initscripts for details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript#head-c074b6a78b42c4c797d978750719ebcf262b4e61http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript#head-c074b6a78b42c4c797d978750719ebcf262b4e61 > Problem #2 > 'root' access is required to setup Boinc Manager > > Problem #3 > 'root' access is required to setup Boinc Manager after reboot of PC Both correct -- this is the desired behavior. > '/sbin/chkconfig boinc-client start' - does not work And it never will, see "man chkconfig" for details. Probably you wanted to run "service boinc-client start". > Atter reboot I must 'Select computer' with these parameters (in Boinc Manager - > Advanced Mode) > host name: localhost > password: content of file gui_rpc_auth.cfg (as root I must in Terminal execute > this command 'gedit /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg') > > The same results I obtained after installation .rpm packages showed above in > 'Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable)' > > > Another problem is that after every reboot of PC I am again forced to insert > 'localhost' and password (content of file gui_rpc_auth.cfg) as root. None of the things you listed above is a bug => closing as NOTABUG.
...and to anticipate next question, if you do not want to have to enter your password every time, just edit the gui_rpc_auth.cfg and insert _only_ a newline.
