Good to read, and thanks for sharing!

The latest driver is 595.58.03 (released March 24), when I check nvidia.com driver download. I don't think it'll help much though.

Hmmm... I installed fahclient on a laptop instead. Razer Blade 15 with 3080 Ti mobile Fedora 43 (Gnome) NVidia driver 595.58.03 (gaming) FAHclient 8.5.6 I set performance mode in the NVidia settings, under PowerMizer, Performance Mode Maximum Performance mode (instead of normal). That does change th...

Ah, okay. If you don't notice a difference during gaming, I would recommend to not enable performance mode (regardless of fah). The purpose seems to be this: if the game doesn't stress the GPU for more than say 30%, the gpu may lower the performance (clocks), lowering the FPS / causing choppyness in...

I assume the performance mode you're trying to use is the software setting in the nvidia driver? I read a bit about it, and it seems it only helps to prevent power saving under lower loads, not when it's really being stressed. Fah is one of the applications which really puts the card under stress, s...

Secure boot usually prevents the Nvidia drivers from being loaded, unitil the signing key is added to the secure boot database. This is documented on various websites like https://packetrealm.io/posts/nvidia-driver-secureboot/ This is unrelated to the Folding at Home client. Regarding the performanc...

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...

My bad, sorry

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

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, ...

<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).

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.

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

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...
