Folding Forum

They are working for me in New Zealand as of the time of this message.

You can see the numbers of jobs in the various queues here: https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats (it contains a lot of useful information) Until today, the number of GPU folding jobs has been very small indeed with just over 3,000 available and hence the reason you (and I) were getting a lot o...

Have you entered the passkey? This gives extra bonus points but it takes about 10 days before that starts to show in the stats.

Oh Dear....

Seems several servers are out of commission. I wondered why my lounge was so cold this morning when it is usually quite nice. Took a while to notice the fah was having communications difficulties with the servers. I guess shit happens!
Hopefully it will be resolves soon.

Well here we are near the end of April. I see from the F&H Server stats (https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats) that core 26 has some public and some beta jobs however I have never received one. Is there some special criteria for these to be chosen? I have a Nividia 4080 super running on Ub...

In reading this thread about core 26, I went and had a look to see if I have received any. Yep, I have been processing some core26 projects for a couple of days. The main thing I noticed is how short the TPF time is (project 17652) - just 8 seconds or there about. Processing a medium sized project o...

Thanks Calxalot for your update,. Defiantly more trouble than it is worth! I have given up on the idea. I just can't seem to get rid of the V7 service in systemd but it is not running and disables so "oh well!" I thought the V7 control was well laid out but suitable for only one machine at...

well, trying to run v7 with v8 installed failed. The upgrade to V8 actually removed the v7 client and trying to reinstall it says it is in conflict with V8 - they are not independent of each other. Such is life but seems to be going against me memory of folks saying they could, in theory, be run tog...

Yes I did.
The config directory for V7 is /etc/fahclient
and for v8 /etc/fah-client

same deal with /var/lib so I hope I can start V7 service and complete the unit. Seems such a waste to let it expire, although it may be too late. Worth a try.

Thanks Calxalot for your answers. Some things were so obvious it's a wonder they didn't slap me on the face - i.e. the slider with the number of CPU cores. Duh! On the Start Folding page, I should have read though the 8.3 Client user guide. It was even in a bigger font I went straight into download ...

I have finally decided to upgrade to FAH 8.3.17. It was a bit of a nasty experience and didn't go well but eventually I got it running.

How do I tell Fah to fold only on the GPU and NOT the CPU?

I have not been able to find a way to do this. Help appreciated

Cheers

I don't have any experience with v8 client but I had the same issue with V7 for quite some time, so I offer this in the hopes it might help you. It seems that the config file got stomped on and the default one used on startup. I think this was related to the fact that FAH would auto start and someti...

I too have experienced (repeatedly) the situation on a reboot where the config.xml file gets replaced. VERY frustrating. I definitely call this a BUG and it seems to be rather random- does not happen every time. My work around is: - copy my working config.xml to config.backup.xml - set folding to fi...

Hopefully I an not off base with this ..... There is a setting that can be added to the client under the Expert tab: Name: max-packet-size Value: small (or normal or big) Although this option appears to be more about the size of the file downloaded, If you set this to small it might also mean the wo...

I have had this issue multiple times and it always seems to be related to new Linux headers being updated and sometimes new Nvidia drivers. Something gets out of sync! The easiest way I have found is to power down and restart until the client finds the GPU again. Sometimes it has taken two restart b...
