V8.1.18 still unhappy

Post by liminal »

On a debian bookworm & bullseye AMD64 4-core rig, I installed v8.1.18 beta; even though there's only a low-watt incompatible GPU, and I haven't configured for GPU WUs, it appears to require package nvidia-cuda-dev for a library, and ocl-icd-opencl-dev for OpenCL. 5GiB of senseless installed bloatware later, I get only more cryptic errors. Rather than my giving up right away on beta folding engine, maybe someone can give advice how to find what I'm doing wrong?

Permission issues, probably the same as discussed here : viewtopic.php?t=39636

I don’t see them in what you posted, but exceptions loading cuda or OpenCL libraries are normal and harmless if you are not trying to do GPU folding.

You should not need to install such useless libraries.

You might get more info if you install the debug build of the client.

Ok thanks, I removed the 5GiB of useless GPU packages to let early missing library errors be benign. Afaict, the permissions of client.db ought to allow writing by UID fah-client, though it's possible the GID setting is wrong; unsure how to check that. Installed the debug build and here's what it says now. Also, do I need to check the box enabling beta test, just to take ordinary WUs? I did check it but don't know if that's what it's for. No units load up so far. Do I have to increase verbosity somehow for this to provide anything meaningful?

I’m not seeing anything helpful.
Please redact your passkey from the log you posted.
The config.xml will not be written to by the v8 client. It is read but v8 stores info in client.db.

Is cpu folding working ok?

You should deselect fold anonymously in the web control configuration/settings panel.

Interestingly, the checkbox for anonymous folding was clear in the interface, so I couldn't tell it was giving me guff. When I checked/unchecked it, that's when it started downloading core blobs and enabled WUs to start. Happy now, so I can put the nondebug package back. Thanks much!

Did you ever have v7 installed on this machine?
I’m wondering how fold_anon was set to “1”.
Is fold_anon in your config.xml?
