FAHMON LINUX (XUBUNTU) PROBLEM

[WacoJohn]

Recently upgraded to XUBUNTU Linux 10.04. Before that, everything was working OK. Using FAHMON 2.3.99.1.

After upgrade, I make sure ORIGAMI is running, then try to execute FAHMON but now get the following:

jb@jb-desktop:~/Desktop$ fahmon

(fahmon:3406): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -5 and height 17

(fahmon:3406): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -5 and height 17

(fahmon:3406): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -5 and height 17

(fahmon:3406): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -5 and height 17


and it HANGS there, but FAHMON opens and FAHLOG says:

[17:48:14] + Attempting to get work packet
[17:48:14] - Connecting to assignment server
[17:48:14] + No appropriate work server was available; will try again in a bit.
[17:48:14] + Couldn't get work instructions.
[17:48:14] - Attempt #9 to get work failed, and no other work to do.
Waiting before retry.

and after waiting a LONG time, go back to TERMINAL, hit ^C, .. FAHMON closes.

Don't know what to do .. UNINSTALL then REINSTALL, just REINSTALL over current install, or REPAIR (somehow).

Any help appreciated (very new at Linux). Thank you in advance

I don't know about FAHMon issue. However, I need more information about your folding client and hardware to try to help you with getting a WU. i.e. different clients have different issues with getting WU's.

Thank you for your reply. I have found support for my problem elsewhere. Most of it is my own ignorance with Linux, and I am sorry if I took your time. If I can figure out how, I will close this thread, but want to thank the forum for their patience.

np, I'm glad you got some help. It doesn't have to be here.

I just checked the FAQ and saw nothing about 'closing' a thread or marking it 'solved'. Sorry if I am remiss. Moderators, feel free to set its status properly. thank you.

Don't worry, about closing the thread. Threads remain open forever unless the thread is a problem that requires moderator intervention.
