Folding Forum

i've been using a cputhrottle program/script on my PCLinuxOS install HP lappy for a while now. Works just fine. When i need cooler temps, i just edit the file - easy peasy. Have a beautiful day and be happy! :) P.D. This is the script that ChatGPT developed for me for the previous version 7.x of FAH...

We just installed this Fatboy XFX 590 yesterday and it has been trying to d/l a WU for it for like a day now... It d/l a WU for the Ryzan 5 CPU almost immediately. Hmmmm... i wonder: Was app?

Have a beautiful day and be happy!

Our PCLinuxOS install does not have any systemd on it except a fake file i found in the repos which is probably a decoy/shim for another program and which ChatGPT used as well. If you want, i can zip the FAH-portable folder and upload it somewhere from where you can download. It's great 'cause it ju...

Thanks again for replying, Joe_H. i see {"vendor": 4098, "device": 26591, "type": 1, "species": 4, "description": "Ellesmere XT [RX 470/480/570/580/590]"}, in the gpu.json file... i also noticed that under the Settings page of the website t...

It's working just fine so far. It looked like it recognized the GPU but for some reason it's not using it. Well, i've been using ChatGPT for several months now for this and that and the other and outside of dropping back to version 4.x or something i really haven't had any problem with it. It's been...

Joe_H - thanks for posting! And so quickly! We created the FAHControl bec. that's what Chat indicated. It's only used to house the config.xml. According to the new webpage we have> linux-b450-aorus-m v8.4.9 showing. So, maybe the config.xml file goes in another subdirectory. If so, do you know which...

Thanks for replying nada391! Wow, it took a while. So, i solved this problem by upgrading to 8.4 version of Folding by following ChatGPT's instructions to create a FAH-portable folder which contains everything i need for my various PCLinuxOS computers (except to change the config.xml script) which d...

Have upgraded our PCLinuxOS Ryzan 7 system to a Fatboy GPU with 8 GB. Should i change the settings in FAHControl? If so, to what should i change them?

Have a beautiful evening and be happy!

Just saw him. He said he's got a Radeon Fatboy with 8 Gb. Yuppii! He's switched from Windoze to Mac because of his photography work... We'll be the lucky winner of his last compatible card. Sigh.

As far as i can tell the thermal issue is o.k. We got Perplexity to come up with a simple script which we run after starting folding to limit the CPU usage. We've also got a desktop Ryzan 5 which has been going bannanas til yesterday when Perplexity provided a script for the GPU which is the one att...

Sigh. Wow. Thanks very much Joe for such a complete, knowledable and quick reply! This thing is beast - really heavy - but we hardly take it anywhere except Mexico City every 3 - 4 months. But, it's rock solid and just works. Was easy to switch out the keyboard for a backlit one. Perplexity even sug...

Linux v7 https://download.foldingathome.org/releases/v7/public/fahclient/ Really appreciat this link. We downloaded the files and then used ChatGPT to help us sort out the rest. We didn't have to compile. Just separated the files and created a correct destop icon with the proper link. Have a beauti...

Does this RPM still require systemd? Some of us still prefer the previous way of doing things...

In the meantime, still happily running the 7.4 version and foldin' away!

Have a great day and be happy!

We are trying to reinstall the FAH files on a new computer (well, older) but find that the 7.x files aren't available anymore. The new ones all call for systemd to be installed.

Is there a systemd-free version available?

Many thanks and have a beautiful Sunday!
