i installed with:

yum install boinc-client boinc-manager
systemctl enable boinc-client.service
service boinc-client start

then i try to attach a project and get the following error:

$ boinccmd --project_attach http://setiathome.berkeley.edu 9aafe...
Operation failed: Error -1
$ boinccmd --run_benchmarks
Operation failed: Error -1
$ boinccmd --version
boinccmd, built from BOINC 7.2.42

any ideas? thanks.

I run in on Fedora 20 on 4 systems with no problem.

Some questions

- Did you install boinc-client, enable the service and start the service as root?

- If you issue the command "ps -ef | grep boinc" do you see anything like this:

boinc 2067 1 0 Jun08 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/boinc --dir /var/lib/boinc
boinc 2068 2067 1 Jun08 ? 00:50:31 /usr/bin/boinc_client --dir /var/lib/boinc


first column is the user running the process - boinc in this case.

- What shows up in /var/log/boinc.log and /var/log/boincerr.log?

Probably missing password.

boinccmd gets the password from command line or from gui_rpc_auth.cfg file in current directory. Either supply the password in command line or run boinccmd in BOINC's data directory /var/lib/boinc .
