Re: gpu disabled 5080

It says 'no cuda or opencl support' - what os and driver version are you running? Linux will need the official drivers instead of Nouveau. If you run Linux, and want to install the official nvidia drivers, you may want to install dkms first, so that the driver modules are recompiled with kernal upda...

Re: Separate accounts

Job results remain with the account and team for which the results were posted initially. If you start folding for another team, the previously returned results will remain with your original team. To start folding for a different team, just change team, and only future results will be counted to th...

Re: PSA: Linux kernel 6.18.5 breaks opencl compute

That's with AMD GPU drivers, I suppose. 6.18 works fine with Nvidia drivers.

Re: Night mode and dark mode

As I read it, the point is that they want to change the theme frequently as long as it is not auto, and digging into the settings all the time is tedious. Hence their suggestion to make it automatic, depending on the system preferences. It would be nice to extend the web client with something like, ...

Re: v8.5.5 installation issues and config file question

<config/> is the default, empty config (I've looked into that myself while switching to v8.5.5 today). The file can be used to di the initial configuration of the client on a headless/text-based install, as is described in the v8.5 guide (and yes, I've done that part as well today on my server).

Re: v8 client on rpm ?

Fully agree on that. Using buid containers in the release process would make it easy to offer the fahclient for other distros on the official fah page - low maintenance, low effort, virtually no costs, greatly appreciated by many. And it wouldn't depend on a volunteer, however well meant.

Re: v8 client on rpm ?

It's not that difficult to use containers to build for other distros. It's quick, clean and does not require running all those distros as servers. That would also be ideal in a build proces. I'm happy to share the dockerfile and script I have for rpm, however sloppy yhat script is 😁

Re: Weird "exception: bad allocation" behaviour

I see the bad allocation messages frequently, but only on jobs for project 18261. Which may or may not be related. To be sure I double checked my SSD health, and it is 100% fine. 18261 requires 10GB of free RAM to get a request for it. Once received, if free RAM dips below required, you might get i...

Re: Unsupported GPU message and...

Kernel updates tend to break nVidia drivers depending on how you installed them. So it usually requires a driver reinstallation. To prevent this, first install dkms, then install nvidia drivers and have it register with dkms. Then whenever a kernel update is installed, the nvidia drivers are automa...
