Folding Forum

I replaced Windows with Linux on my dedicated folding PC this weekend. I changed the setup just now to move the CPU cores to their own group, hopefully that will give an extra boost beyond the OS swap.

There's nothing built into the client that does that. I think you could use automation features built into your OS together with command line commands to pause & resume folding on a schedule, but I haven't attempted it myself.

Doesn't this happen when a single resources group has both CPUs and GPU assigned so it tries to run both CPU and GPU at the same time ? I have a PC with the GPU and CPU in a single resource group running both CPU and GPU WUs and it's not dumping (well, one WU in the last 6 weeks or so). It's still ...

I have found that anytime I enable or disable my VPN I need to stop & restart the client, otherwise it will eventually get hung up in a similar fashion and unable to download a new WU.

I have had no issues installing & running the 8.5.4 beta client on my Mac running Mac OS 26. If you haven't already tried deleting the entire /Library/ApplicationSupport/FAHClient folder & all its contents, that would be my next suggestion. You'll have to set the client up again from scratch...

One thing that's different - I don't see that message about "deferred event: domain spawn response"; instead a couple lines down I see "job state = running". I did have a work unit already in progress that I stopped & restarted, though, so maybe that would explain the differe...

I see that same notice about xpcproxy in launchd.log when fahclient starts. It's definitely part of MacOS, in /usr/libexec.

Does /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.foldingathome.fahclient.plist exist? Without this, the client's not going to start up automatically.

(Note that this is in /Library, not ~/Library)

I don't think it's possible for you to change your username on the forum by yourself. The moderators might be able to change it for you, I don't know.

With the ps command, you should see an "fah-client" process, and if folding is actively occurring there should also be a process with "FahCore" in the name. 499 48932 1 0 4:16PM ?? 0:00.24 /usr/local/bin/fah-client 499 48937 48932 0 4:16PM ?? 28:44.32 /Library/Application Support...

You will want to make sure to have one of the approved browsers when installing the client. But I find that Safari works just fine for monitoring and controlling the client once it's installed.

When logged into the client web page (https://v8-4.foldingathome.org/machines) you should see a pause button for each of your folding computers as well as an overall pause button. When you press any of those it will ask if you want to finish the current work unit(s) before pausing.

I'll second arisu's recommendation to pause CPU folding to see if that improves things; personally I only set aside 1 CPU core for each GPU. I'm not sure how many points exactly to expect from a 1650; my 1660 super is currently running around 1.4-1.5 million PPD; I would certainly expect a 1650 to d...

Is 8.4 not compatible with 8.3? The 8.4 client running on my Mac (using Firefox) isn't seeing either of my Windows computers running 8.3. The reverse is also true, the 8.3 computer in my office isn't seeing the 8.4 Mac sitting next to it. I'll get around to upgrading the Windows machines at some poi...

Now that v8.3.18 is no longer in beta but is the officially released version that new users are being told to install, would it be time to create a v8 Public Release section of the forum? (I personally had no idea that v8.3 was out of beta until a week or two ago; if there was an announcement I miss...
