I'm going crazy trying to get boinc running on my Raspberry Pi (rip). I've installed the package which includes boinc, boinccmd, and boincmgr. Boinc runs upon boot, but no matter what I try with boinccmd or boincmgr I can't get it to add a project. Every attempt gives me an error -155 (authorization error). It won't let me join an account manager, lookup an account, attach a project, or anything else. WTF?

Help.

BTW, version 7.0.27 (the one available in the apt-get repository).

Yeah, I had problems too.

I just have a client running and was trying to control it from boinccmd.

The secret it to cd to the boinc_client working directory before issuing a command

So if your boinc_client has its' working directory as /var/lib/boinc, then cd to that and then issue the boinccmd commands.

e.g.

# cd /
# boinccmd --run_benchmarks
Operation failed: authentication error
# cd /var/lib/boinc
# boinccmd --run_benchmarks
#

I've no idea why, so don't ask
