Folding Forum

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

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...

Hi Marius

There is an updated client at 7.6.21 I suggest you try.
From your FAH log file, can you list the very start of the work unit until the completion of 1% of the work unit so we can see what is happenign when starting FaH

Hi Bruce

Thanks for that!

CUDA is a Nvidia specific platform they update regularly and is optimized for each new generation of Nvidia GPUs. OpenCL is a vendor independent platform that Nvidia made a driver for in 2012 and so uses the features of the graphics cards of that era. When F@H code uses CUDA on Nvidia, it gets a 40...

The message is a generic indication that something went wrong with Folding@home's attempt to interrogate the state of OpenCL on your system. If it proceeds to fold, using CUDA or any other means, then there is no issue and you can ignore the message. The client version is only logged when the clien...
