Think all you need to do is add the line

<allow_remote_gui_rpc>1</allow_remote_gui_rpc>

to the <options> section of the cc_config.xml file

Alternate, you set up the allowed IPs in the remote_hosts.cfg

Trouble is, with the latter you have to specify the IPs, where with the first you don't have to.

(And vaguely remember following the BOINCTasks instruction on all my remote hosts and it worked fine).

Edit: Of course it speaks for itself you need to allow RPC traffic through your Ubuntu firewall, port 31416, or things might not get through. Depends if it is on or off...

I'm just learning Ubuntu but, when I setup mine there were 2 files.

remote_hosts.cfg - with the IP of computer running Boinctask
gui_rpc_auth.cfg - with the password you want to use (I changed this)

both go into the \ProgramData\BOINC folder where ever that is located

I then went to Boinctask and entered the IP and password and it showed up.

I forget the sudo commands I used have to see where I wrote them down.

Sorry I'm getting Old

I'm runing both atm..






After another cup of coffee and blood now flowing to brain.

Try this:

Boinctask on Ubuntu

I'm glad you made it. :)

And the command you might be looking for to restart boinc is:

sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart

Good hint! Thanks!
