Description of problem: The boingmgr status bar says "Disconnected". Whenever I try some operation that needs to connect to the network, (e.g., "Tools->Attach to account manager..."), I get connect: Operation now in progress at the console where boingmgr was launched. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.2.15-1.20080818svn.fc10 How reproducible: Consistently.
This bug might be the same as bug 469476 and/or bug 474596. I can't tell from reading them whether they're describing the same sort of failure.
Does it work after restarting the boinc-client service? -If so, you probably have similar problem as in #469476 What are you using as data directory and how did you change it? -Be sure to follow https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Mjakubicek/HowToUseBoinc
I had missed the "set computer to localhost" part of those instructions. It's working now.
