boidcmd setup: There was an error on setup

[whoo]

Hi,

There is an error when starting a job on cmdline.

• no wcgid was given
• can we add more debug option to solve that.

Thanks

#boidcmd setup { error: 'There was an error' }

Hi thank you for reporting this issue, can you provide more info ...

What linux distribution / OS version were you attempting this on. Were you attempting to register a new device ? , was boinc-client installed and running prior to running boidcmd setup command ? I will review the code to see in what instance you would get missing wcgid. I would have expected more info on the screen at that time.

all the setup command does is call boinccmd

boinccmd --project_attach http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ 1061556_a0c611b081f8692b7ef0c11d39e6105c

if this fails with the error you saw then boinc isn't correctly installed on your system.

Thanks for your answser. I fix it but running boidcmd setup | in the right folder (writable) (no information are push to app.boid.com | only name)

yes that is normal , the Boid power is computed later and shows up within 24-48hrs on the website. if you see the device name your registered.

Ok so we can close this ticket, this was a file permissions issue.
