You're right, I meant:
----------------------------------------sudo apt-get -s install boinc-client boinc-manager I was hoping that lists the sources of the packages that would have been installed, or (in this case) don't need installing because they are up to date. Your boinc_cmd should be --password, not --passwd. edit: strike [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 13, 2007 6:31:11 PM] |

sudo apt-get -s install boinc-client boinc-manager I tried that too. Both packages are up-to-date. Your boinc_cmd should be --password, not --passwd. I've already tried both commands... no luck. This _is_ a predicament. Thanks for your help. |

Well, I strongly advise you to rip the whole thing out and install a known good version.
Go with 5.4.11 from the universal repository. |

I should probably wait until at least one project finishes first, I guess.

I suppose I'll just wait to install v5.4.11 until my computer crashes or I'm forced to reboot. That way, I won't feel like I just intentionally threw results down the drain. Unless, of course, there's a way to resume where I left off, which is highly improbable and--quite frankly--I don't even know why I'm mentioning it.

Normally, you can upgrade over the top of an existing installation without losing your progress. But for a downgrade, we recommend removing everything first.
Don't worry about queued results. They will be resent to other hosts. Rebooting doesn't (or shouldn't) affect your results. If BOINC Manager is usable, then you can set it to "No new tasks" and abort any unstarted work units. That is the most elegant solution. |

When I try boinc_cmd v5.8.16, I get the same error:
connect: Connection refused can't connect to local host |

There are several solutions to your predicament and 1 is to fix your messed up display issues, for Arial is a pretty standard font.
----------------------------------------Here's help instructions from Berkeley on formating the commands: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/BoincCmd The specific error i cannot locate but if the core client aka daemon is running and projects are crunching it is no doubt something with the IP or password. I in fact use the actual PC name is operating local and not the IP which can either be 127.0.0.1 or the IP assigned to the machine by the network. Either works for me when selecting a computer in the BOINCmgr. Logically those should also work if operating BOINCcmd.exe Core client connection --host hostname[:port] The host to connect to (default: localhost) --password The password for RPC authentication (default: boinc_cmd will look for a file gui_rpc_auth.cfg and use the password it contains). I'd start off by editing the password file and put in something memorable, without it being too simple. I went and did some RTFM and concocted this command which should work on Linux or Windows - it works for me: For Windows: BOINCCMD --host localhost --passwd MYPASSWORD --get_results For Linux: boinc_cmd --host localhost --passwd MYPASSWORD --get_results (could also be --password) It told me the result in progress in all detail! LOCALHOST MAY BE substituted with 127.0.0.1 or the Computer name as the OS knows it to be, or the IP assigned to the computer by the LAN which could be something like 192.168.1.254 I cant think of any other answer.... maybe you need to visit Berkeley fora and present your case. Added: Obviously MYPASSWORD is either the exact 32hex or the simplified password you put in the gui_rpc_auth.cfg OH, and these commands are case sensitive.... do them all in small! More OH: The manual speaks of --password, but the command that worked on windows was --passwd. Type in boinc_cmd --help to get the correct command words for your BOINC version.

Yes, I noticed the passwd/password detail, since I gave the wrong advice earlier.
But this time, I checked the source code to find out the truth, then edited the documentation to match. All serene now. And it's passwd. |

I tried the following command in the BOINC v5.8.16 directory:
./boinc_cmd --host localhost --passwd PASSWD --get_results ... ... connect: Connection refused can't connect to localhost I still have no idea what's wrong (although I really appreciate all the help) and boincmgr doesn't work for whatever reason. Arial font should work just fine. This is the exact error: (boincmgr:32442): Pango-WARNING **: shape engine failure, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Arial Bold Not-Rotated 10' |
