Re: Night mode and dark mode

I think there is also a request that appearance settings be stored with browser database, not the account.

Re: Unable to reset passphrase – API NetworkError while recovering old account

Have you read the guide?
https://foldingathome.org/guides/v8-5-client-guide/

Note that your user name, team, passkey were never part of an account.
v7 did not have accounts.
You need to register (create) an account if you wish to use one with web control.
v8 accounts are optional.

Re: Night mode and dark mode

They are asking that it be made automatic or an easily accessed switch again, rather than buried in account settings.

Re: 8.5.5 doesn't work for me, but 8.4.9 does

With v8-4.foldingathome.org
make sure all unsupported GPUs are deselected. Then 8.5.5 might work.

Re: Oops. How do I get started again?

Seems to be a new bug to characterize and add to github issues.

Re: Oops. How do I get started again?

Try installing 8.4.9, make sure the iGPU is not selected, reinstall 8.5.5. Should not need to uninstall.

Re: Oops. How do I get started again?

That's normal. You have some obsolete v7 options that are ignored except for the warning.

Re: libbz2

Is it just the system parts of file system that are read only with bazzite? Are you free to do whatever you want under your home?

Re: v8.5.5 installation issues and config file question

An invalid config.xml will crash the current client, and cause an error to be logged in the next release while ignoring the file.

Re: v8.5.5 installation issues and config file question

It needs to be wrapped in
<config>
</config>

<config/> is an entity with no inner contents, only attributes.

Re: libbz2

To the person on Bazzite, I would say build the tarball on another redhat system and use that.
You use "scons dist" instead of "scons package"

Re: libbz2

They are trying to run the tarball client built for debian on a redhat distro. This no longer works because of dynamic linking to libbz2.so.1.0, which is named libbz2.so.1 on redhat. The current solution is to build the client yourself using the instructions in the GitHub repo. https://github.com/Fo...
