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...

Re: Getting back into it, maybe?, which

Welcome back! A lot has changed in the net client. Check out https://foldingathome.org/guides/v8-4-client-guide/, in paticular the parts about creating an account (with user name and passphrase) and the account settings (with the user name and passkey you used in the past).

Re: What are these red 'Assign Wait' items?

This situation - waiting for a new assignment - could happen in v7 as well, it just didn't show like this. Instead the v7 client would show as a green status 'ready' (I believe).

Re: Project 16525 not uploading

Uploading 16525 does work fine for me, so it's not failing for everyone. So the question is: what's different, that it fails for some, but not for others. So, let's see if we can pinpoint a bit... I'm running v7 clients only right now. Both my Windows machines and my Ubuntu server have processed (an...
