Folding Forum

Working fine for me in the UK.

Looks like issue has now been resolved.

Ditto - using Ubuntu. Can't log into my v8 clients or see them remotely. Suggests an issue with the server?

Are you using an nVidia GPU?
If so, I needed to install the '570-open' driver within Ubuntu to get the GPU seen, see 'Not running on GPU' thread.

You want '570-open', see GPU not Folding

Got there ... finally!
Issue was the nvidia driver - I needed to install '570-open'.

Here's the log. It seems to fail at 18:41:40, just after it identifies the GPU with "supported":false. 18:41:40:I1: Revision: 443c54e909eb8d8994405a18fb328b5b05a623a5 18:41:40:I1: Branch: master 18:41:40:I1: Compiler: GNU 8.3.0 18:41:40:I1: Options: -Wsuggest-override -faligned-new -std=c+...

Thanks for the idea. Unfortunately the issue is still present (also even after an OS re-install).
In the settings for the edit machine, what does it mean if the GPU type is greyed, but the enable box is ticked?

I have just popped an RTX 5070Ti into a machine that was running a slightly older GPU on the v7 client. I couldn't get the v7 client to work after doing that(!), so I thought I would try the v8 client ... However, I can't seem to get the client to detect the presence of the card and the opencl and c...

True

If the number is just going to be arbitrarily invented, might as well remove it, since it has no useful meaning.

Would a simple fix not be to count it independently once (maybe hourly?) and then pass/parse the value to any user query during that time period (?)

Yes, in my case it was actually "Rank 28 of 3,012,069", now it is "Rank 27 of 1,000,000" (... 27 as I moved up one place in the meantime )

One million seems a very round number ... and it hasn't changed in 2 days - that is not normal behaviour for this parameter.

Something has changed on the official donor stats page in the last day or so; If you click on your own donor stats, then under your user name, it outputs; "Rank X of Y". Y, until the day before yesterday, was increasing over the years and had reached 3,012,069. Yesterday (and today) it is ...

One issue with Snap in Ubuntu is that this is how Firefox is enabled, so when Snap wants to do an update/refresh on Firefox, the current v8 client will stop working. (I preferred the v7 client in its own program!)

Certainly sad news for family and friends.

Thanks for sharing though, as it is always interesting to learn more about the lives of fellow Folders;
that goes for Gordon Smitheman, 7im (Timothy Braun) and PS3EdOlkkola (Edward Olkkola).
