ERROR:WU00:FS00:Exception: Server did not assign work unit

Post by M0CZY »

It was working all right the last time I did a work unit, and I haven't changed anything.
I can't tell if the problem is at my end or at the server end.

Code: Select all

I'm not seeing any problem with the work server.

I'll accept that answer, which implies a problem at my end.
What I've tried is to delete the config.xml file, and run ./FAHClient --configure to create and configure a new config.xml file.
When I tried to run it I still got ERROR:WU00:FS00:Exception: Server did not assign work unit, so I don't know what else to do to make it work properly.

There have been ongoing temporary shortages of WU's that will be assigned to a CPU setting of 1. Eventually you should get an assignment, but I don't know how long the wait will be.

Welcome to foldingforum.org, M0CZY.

That does not imply that the problem is on your end. At the present time, most assignments are for multiple CPUs and/or for GPUs. I only see one server which provides WUs for a single CPU and it's saturated most of the time. That leaves you two options:
1) Be patient.
2) Reconfigure your client to use both CPUs on the same assignment.

Assuming that you're running FAH V7 on Windows, right-click on the icon in systray and select Advanced Control. Click "Configure" and then "Slots" In the lower panel, click on "cpu" and then "Edit" Near the top, change the -1 in the "CPUs" field to 2, followed by clicks on OK and on SAVE.

Reconfigure your client to use both CPUs on the same assignment
I'm running the FAHClient as a standalone from the terminal under Linux, so I would need to manually alter my config.xml file in order to do this.
I have a single CPU slot in my configuration, but I understood that by default, V7 would attempt to utilize multiple CPU cores.
If further editing is required to create a multi-cored CPU slot, then I will need advice about that, as I have been unable to find any information about advanced config.xml settings, or a suitable sample example.
My config.xml currently looks like this:

Code: Select all

  <!-- User Information -->
  <passkey v='hidden'/>
  <user v='M0CZY'/>

  <!-- Folding Slots -->
  <slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
</config>
Facepalm! After posting this message, I had a look at how my client was getting on, only to find that it has eventually downloaded and is running a single core work unit! I would like to run multi-cored work units though, if someone knows how?

The very first WU after an install is often a uniprocessor WU and the default power setting is medium which leaves one core unused (2 cores - 1 core = 1 core). All you need to do is set the power to full and let the current WU finish and the next one will use the number of cores allowed by the power setting which for full is all of them.

Code: Select all

<!-- User Information -->
      <passkey v='hidden'/>
      <user v='M0CZY'/>

      <!-- Folding Slots -->
      <slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
    </config>
Since you're running on linux and you don't appear to have FAHControl installed and running you can edit your config.xml again and add:

<cpus v='2'/>

so that the above reads:

Code: Select all

<!-- User Information -->
      <passkey v='hidden'/>
      <user v='M0CZY'/>

      <!-- Folding Slots -->
      <slot id='0' type='CPU'>
      <cpus v='2'/>
    </config>
Manually editing config.xml is not advised as it can introduce errors that can cause problems for the client. If possible install and use FAHControl to make any changes for that file. The client has to be running for FAHControl to work.

I'll edit my config.xml file after I finish my running work unit.
When I tried running the Windows standalone FAHClient, you could open up a web page where you could view information about your work unit, and do things like change the power intensity, but the Linux version doesn't seem to have this.
I'm not a 'power user',and I only do work when I'm in the mood, so over the years I've only done 71 work units, so I don't really want stuff installed; I'm quite happy to use the standalone client that just runs from a folder.

For linux try opening the following link with your browser while the client is running:

Wow, you're right, it works.
I'm pleased to have found out about that, thanks for the tip.
