This happens even when the user is added to the boinc group and the correct authentication key is provided when connecting. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install boinc-client and boinc-manager 2. Start boinc-client with `systemctl start boinc-client` 3. Start boinc-manager 4. Try to connect to the client through Advanced → Select Computer (localhost) Actual Results: The boinc-manager shows its status as "disconnected". When trying to connect, it briefly shows "Connecting to localhost" and instead of connecting, tries to spawn its own boinc-client instance. Shortly after it goes back to "disconnected". Expected Results: boinc-manager should be able to connect to boinc-client properly. The issue does not happen with boinccmd. If I cd to /var/lib/boinc, the commands `sudo boinccmd --create_account <URL> <email> <passwd> <name>` and `sudo boinccmd --project_attach <URL> <auth>` allow the boinc-client to start the tasks. I can list tasks with a regular `boinccmd --get_tasks` afterwards. So the problem seems to be specific to the GUI boinc-manager. It also doesn't happen when manually compiling the BOINC binaries from their website. The issue is present in both boinc-manager 6.12.43 (from updates) and boinc-manager 7.2.42 (from network). I'm using openSUSE 13.1 x86_64, though the discussions suggest that this bug is also present in the i586 version as well.
