Phil:

After adding my username to the boinc group, I made sure the service was 
enabled and running (using systemd), and then I started "boincmgr". Then 
I went to "Advanced -> Select computer  -> Host name: localhost", and as 
password I put the content of the file /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg

But maybe you should file a bug.

Good luck
Germán.
