Thank you for your help Nattgew.
Boinc is already running in the background as a service. There is no need to run "boinc" on the command line. The error you see is because it is trying to start Boinc again from the command line, but the service is already running and has claimed the port 31416.
I know, it was in order to give all the possible feedback.
I'm not sure why boincmgr won't connect... could you be more specific about what happens when you run it?
No, I can't be more specific than I've already been above. I've described all that I see that happens.
Other than that, the wiki tells you where to look at the log file (make sure there are no errors there) and explains the password for connecting (sounds like you already took care of that, but good to double check).
As you can see I've searched all the errors I got in the boinc wiki. I know what they mean, but not why are happening.
I think my problems come from a bad management of the files permissions by the package installation. I mean, when a package is installed there should be an script or something that modifies (or create the files with) the permissions that files must have, or create the groups that need to be created, and so on. But it looks like I have to modify all this data in order to get boincmngr connect to boinc, boinc and boincmngr get the writting permissions in the installation folder too, etc etc etc. I don't know very well how to do all this stuff (I mean that I've already created by hand the boinc group, changed the execution, access, modification of files with users and boinc groups credentials, and I still get silly errors as "boinc can't write" in a folder which is the owner, or can't write executed by the root. All this stuff messed me up because looks too much stupid), but more important, I shouldn't to do it manually after a package installation.
I should open a bug report in arhlinux first and if they can't solve the problem open it in the boinc support, I suppose.

    The startup disk may need repairing ...
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the disk needs repairing, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.

  • I rented Argo in iTunes on my iPad, it downloaded, yet it does not show up in my library.

    I rented Argo in iTunes on my iPad, it downloaded, yet it does not show up in my library. I have the most updated version of iTunes on my laptop and Apple TV. I logged onto my computer (Windows) and tried renting it again, iTunes store told me 'you have already rented this movie'. Is there an issue with rentals today? Help!

    Roaminggnome - Thanks for your reply, you made my day! This is my first time renting a video, so I didn't realize you had to go into a different app to watch it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend

  • Firefox is still running but does not show up in "task master" so it can be closed down and re-started?

    1. Sometimes Firefox displays a message "Firefox is still running" but there is no evidence that this is true.
    2. But, Firefox does not show up in "control-alternate-delete" to bring up Task Master in Windows 7.
    3. There does not seem to be any means to stop Firefox and to re-start Firefox without a complete Re-start of the PC.
    4. The mouse still works and the PC responds but there is no response from Firefox except the message "Firefox is still running..... etc.
    5. How to stop Firefox, shutdown Firefox without a complete reboot/restart?

    Way too complicated to solve the problem of "firefox is already running ....etc." and there must be a more simple solution to this problem which occurs once in awhile.
    It seems to me that Mozilla developers can find a better solution and one that allows control-alternate-delete to fix the problem.
    Otherwise, it is just resort to the old reboot solution.

  • BPM Process does not show newly added task

    I added a new task to my current BPM Process which has several tasks already built into it and they work when deployed. When I execute the workflow and get to that step, I get the following message: Details not available for this task. I am using jDeveloper 11.1.1.5. I created my page with ADF. I can see the pages for all the rest of the tasks in my process but not this newly added step. I have checked the source for this task against other tasks in the process and it looks the same. Does anyone have an idea what I might need to change or add in order to make this work?

    If you're getting the Server 500 error and it is not an initiator task, what are you seeing at the bottom of your log file?
    If you're getting the Server 500 error and it's an initiator task, then there is a trick to figuring out the real problem (close the dialog -> refresh the worklist -> select the work item at the bottom of the list). The initiator activity makes it necessary to do this additional step to see what the issue is.
    Hope this helps,

    The Airplay icon does not show on my Mac Pro, regardless that it is clicked on display. How can I do to see the Airplay Icon in order to connect my apple TV with my Mac Pro?

    To check your model go to About This Mac (by clicking on the Apple icon, top left) and then select more info. If you wish to use mirroring you will need one from 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

  • Adobe Lightroom 3.2 does not show any images

    I just updated to Lightroom 3.2 this week. It worked fine the past few  days. Then last night, it started kind slow, then showed images shown in  Library grid/strip view for any images. But it still show meta data.  And no images in Develop tab. But if I move the mouse on the image area,  the RGB values in histogram (upper right) still changes with differnt  values. Just no images. And it still shows the shooting data.
    I reinstalled it twice and oit still behave the same.
    Then  I build a new catalog. I see images only in the pre-import screen. Once  a folder is imported, no images in this new catalog.
    I also  tried to clear cache, removed preferrance, and then create a new  catalog. When I tried to import my images, there is a little triangle  showing on top of each image, clicked and it said" Lightroom has some  difficulty import the image file".
    But PS CS5 Bridge and PS CS5  works just fine. I can actually right click on a grid (even though not  seeing the real image or preview) and edit in PSP CS5.
    BTW, the  day before yesterday's problem, I was watchng the new Lightroom tutorial  from this site (which I bought) and adjusted preference,... I don't  know whether such a change of setting may cause Lightroom having  difficulty seeing images.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    If  anyone know how to submit a support request to Adobe please let me know  too. I cannot find a way to get support free opf charge and I will not  pay for their crash.

    This happened to me before and did so again yesterday when I updated my NVidia drivers. NVidia evidently changes the display's color profile to "Use Windows display calibration." The solution is to reset the color profile for each of your displays back to what was set before. I am using Windows 7-64. This does not matter as for the ultimate solution, but getting to the proper dialog is easy:  click Start and in the search box type "color management." You should get the proper dialog box open with "Color Management" at the top. When I have had this problem it showed Device: Display 1 {its name}, no ICC Profiles in the ICC Profiles list area and "Use Windows display calibration" below. Click "Add..." and find your display profile in the list. There are very many. Mine were right at the very bottom. Pick it. Set it as default for your display. Repeat for other monitors, if any. ...and the pictures are viewable back in Lightroom!
    Good luck!

  • Named Criteria created, but it does not show up in the Data Controls view

    Hello there,
    I wish to use a data-bound ADF Mobile ListView in one of the pages on the app. However, only entries of the underlying data that fulfill a certain condition shall be displayed in the list. The condition basically is an "Equals" test against a bind variable in the pageFlowScope. Therefore, I have created a corresponding Named Criteria for the data control - proceeded like described here:
    https://blogs.oracle.com/adf/entry/create_named_criteria_in_ejb
    The Named Criteria, in my case, has been created and saved, yet it does not show up in the Data Controls view of JDeveloper. Therefore, I cannot drag it on a UI element to use it.
    I only have the "Operations" folder where the quick guide above also shows a "Named Criteria" folder.
    Refreshing or restarting JDeveloper did not solve this.

    It was all taken care of by Gaurav Aggarwal
    He got me all fixed up, Thank you for your concern.

    It appears to be working, but is this correct since dladm does not show the vnet1 interface?

    I had the same problem. SUN support recommends latest kernel patches. That solved my problem.

  • IMac does not show open windows in Mission Control

    Ever since I installed Mountain Lion on my 2008 iMac 24", I've had a problem in Mission Control where the Desktop that the OS boots into will not show a preview of any windows open in that desktop. I have a new 2012 MacBook Air that does not have this problem. I thought the 10.8.1 update might fix it but no luck. Originally, I upgraded from Snow Leopard but eventually did a clean install and manually restored documents so that all the preferences/system files would be fresh, but still no luck.
    A screenshot of what I mean is attached. I have FF open in desktop 1, but it does not show at the top, whereas all other desktops show window previews.
    Has anyone else had this problem and have you managed to fix it?

    I dont use the Trackpad, just a mouse. Moments after I typed it, the answer was suggested already:
    CTRL+Mission Control button does exactly what I want.
    Is it possible to reconfigure this shortcut to the Snow Leopard way? (Pushing and holding the mouse button on an app in the dock for the same results)
    Thanks,

    I have been using my 5G iPod 60 GB for sometime now. I had lot of songs, photos and videos in it. All of a sudden it does not show me any of these files.

I have tried reseting the iPod few times by pressing the center and menu commands together a few times. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
