Folding Forum

Well, I am still stuck here.

I don't have a lot of Linux knowledge, but I remember trying to install fah as well on other Linux machines, and found that the installer (apt or apt-get) doesn't install the dependencies. Since then, I use a built in installer from the GUI, so I don't need the command to force-install the dependen...

I did, yes. A couple of times at that. FAH only keeps data on the drive it is installed to, right? But, I suspect since I had a freeze during the first install that something went wrong and it perhaps did not manage to recover from there. How would I go about wiping the entire install for sure, with...

Please post the top page or two of FAHlog.log showing the hardware that FAHClient detects. That will probably will help us resolve your issue. Have you installed the proprietary GPU drivers directly from AMD? ... and rebooted after changing the drivers? As far as I understood it from my last endeav...

About GPU folding... For GPU usage it needs sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-libopencl1 sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-opencl-dev Both these are installed... AMD GPU 7970 is working in Linux too :-) You need to have the GPU OpenCL drivers installed But GPU folding won't start. The Terminal says the follow...

I found one line in FAHClient script which causes the FAIL. Maybe deleting the file /var/run/fahclient.pid helps (it then gets generated again) sudo rm /var/run/fahclient.pid AMD GPU 7970 is working in Linux too :-) You need to have the GPU OpenCL drivers installed Hmm, no such file or directory ex...

In my Linux Mint 19 I can start FAHClient this way in console: /usr/bin/FAHClient Well look at that! Now we are getting somewhere. This indeed launched FAH Client, but (of course) inside the Terminal window. Opening either the webinterface or FAHControl now connects. But, this is not how it worked ...

Oh sorry, my inexperience with GNU/Linux shines through here.

I opened the folder and file suggested; but what exactly am I looking for? There is a lot of stuff in there that looks like a programming language; but I am no programmer.

Hello again! The first command simply returns this: Starting fahclient ... FAIL I am not sure what you mean by the second command, but I ran it from the folder where the .deb is located. Job for FAHClient.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status F...

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I have done essentially that, but through the GUI. FAHControl sits infinitely stuck on inactive and will not connect.

Hello, I have been a folder for many years by now, and I have been CPU folding on a 24/7 online PC running Linux Mint 17.6. However, on that machine, folding suddenly ceased to work sometime last year (it is a headless machine normally, so I did not monitor it every day). FAHControl would open but r...
