Re: Failing to download WUs on Linux

My pleasure. Least I could do, considering. :-)

Re: Failing to download WUs on Linux

Okay, I'll do my best to describe this as clearly as possible. I have a Fritz!Box 3390, a modem/router that I'd swear by for reliability. It wasn't cheap but it really is worth the money. However, I have recently discovered that the Parental Control functionality is rather lacking, as I will explain...

Re: Failing to download WUs on Linux

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Having replied to ajm, I thought I'd better go and double check my modem/router settings to be absolutely sure. I did find something that I had changed a few weeks ago. It shouldn't have had the effect of blocking any HTTP or HTTPS traffic but somehow it must have done bec...

Re: Failing to download WUs on Linux

Thanks for the suggestion, ajm. I don't have any antivirus or malware protection software at all. In the absence of any such software, which might allow different access permissions depending on the software, I think the fact that a web browser can access the URL suggests that the FAH client ought t...

Failing to download WUs on Linux

My Linux Mint 20 system has been happily downloading and folding work units throughout lock-down and up to about two weeks ago. I know the official advice is to wait patiently but is anyone else having to wait two weeks?! I'm starting to thing there's something wrong with my set up and I'm hoping so...

Re: Detecting Idle

It's been over two weeks since I asked if idle detection actually works on any Linux systems at all and there have been no affirmative responses. I think it's probably safe to take it that it doesn't work at this point. Does anyone know how to go about submitting a bug report? Tohya, thanks for your...

Re: If "only when idle" doesn't work

Thanks Barberousse. I used your script as the basis for a solution on my Linux Mint Cinnamon system with only a few minor modifications to suit my setup. There's also one bug fix. I see this as a temporary workaround until the FAH Client maintainers get around to fixing 'On Idle' properly in the Cli...

Re: Detecting Idle

I seem to have exactly the same problem. My system is Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.1. Having Googled this problem and searched the forums, this appears to have been affecting Linux system for years and has never been solved. I have tried various things, including installing xscreensaver and associated uti...
