Hi,
I am stumped. I have had success installing and running Boinc on several older computers. I've even had it installed on this one too in the recent past. Then, I upgraded this computer to Astronomy Linux running Ubuntu 21.10 OS. Now, no joy. I am cross posting this to both to Einsten@home and the Boinc websites.
This is an HP computer.
I have installed and re-installed Boinc and after apparently fixing one issue now I get the following error message:
Invalid client RPC password Try reinstalling Boinc.
HP Pavilion Notebook
5.9 GiB RAM
AMD A6-6310 APU
Radeon r4 graphics (AMD Kabini)
Ubuntu 21.10
64 bit
Wayland
So far I haven't located a resolution that works for this. Any pointers or help on how to resolve this issue will be most greatly appreciated.
Regards,
John
Has to do with the

Has to do with the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file which is where BOINC's password is contained. The client can't read it in the Manager.
Check permissions on the file. It should be in BOINC group and you the user should be a member of that group also.
Also might have something to do with Wayland. Not sure if BOINC can work with that yet. BOINC has traditionally been an X.11 application.
