[tuto] 8.3.5, openSUSE Tumbleweed, installation
0. Prerequisite
This tutorial is for openSUSE Tumbleweed. We can expect to use it with success with openSUSE Leap.
You can add the 8.3.5 to the 7.6.21. they can run simultaneously.
Beware of the temperature of your CPU and GPU.
Beware that cpulimit can limit only one occurrence of a core.
If you have for example two a8 then only one will be limited by cpulimit.
Here a script using cpulimit to limit serveral occurrences of the same app
https://aweirdimagination.net/2020/08/0 ... processes/
Here a tutorial for cooling your PC.
viewtopic.php?t=37572
1. Creating a rpm from 8.3.5 deb
Install "alien" app as root
sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositor ... nager.repo
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install alien
for Leap 15.6
sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositor ... ecsos.repo
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install alien
for Leap 15.5
sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositor ... nager.repo
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install alien
download the 8.3.5 deb package at https://foldingathome.org/beta
in the folder containing the deb package open a text console run
sudo alien -r --script fah-client_8.3.5_amd64.deb
2 Installation of fah-client
2.1. With the Yast software manager install the 8.3.5 rpm
right click on the rpm then in "open with" select "Yast software"
2.2. Create a group "fah-client"
With Yast tool in "security and users" select "groups and users manager"
Select "group" tab
in "filter definition" select "system group"
click on "add"
fill the field "group name" with "fa-client"
then "OK"
2.3. Create a user "fah-client"
Select "user" tab
In "filter definition" select "system user"
click on "add"
In "user data" tab
fill the field "Complete name" with "user for fah-client"
fill the field "user name" with "fah-client"
fill the password. I used the root password. Perhaps there is something better.
In "details" tab
in "default group" select "fah-client" group
in "supplementary groups" check "video" group
then "OK"
2.4. Creating folders used by fah-client app
As root you must create with dolphin
/etc/fah-client/
/var/lib/fah-client/
/var/log/fah-client/
all with the following ACL
owner : can view and modify
group : can only view
others : no access
user : fah-client
group : fah-client
2.5. Creating config.xml file
In /etc/fah-client/
as root with dolphin create the file config.xml
fill the file with the statements
<config>
</config>
3. Running the systemd service file
3.1. Modify the fah-lient.service file in /usr/lib/systemd/system/
In [Unit] replace the following statements
After=network.target
by the following statements
After=syslog.target network-online.target remote-fs.target
Wants=network-online.target
In [Service] replace the following statements
User=fah-client
by the following statements
Type=simple
User=fah-client
Group=fah-client
RuntimeDirectory=fah-client
RuntimeDirectoryMode=0755
PIDFile=/run/fahclient/fah-client.pid
WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/fah-client
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/fah-client
restart the PC according to the OS is aware of the new user and group "fah-client"
3.2. Run the fah-client service
in a text console execute
sudo sytemctl start fah-client
wait some seconds
sudo systemctl status fah-client
check that fah-client is running (no "error", no "fail").
It must be "active (running)".
4. Finishing the settings
The fah-client service must start when the PC starts.
run
sudo systemctl enable fah-client
with Firefox go to https://beta.foldingathome.org/
click on the toothed wheel
fill your user name, team, passkey
choose the number of cpu you want to dedicate to the cpu and gpu jobs
enable your gpu by checking
click on "save" then return to the previous page.
watch the downloading of cores and the beginning of the computing
Enjoy

Re: [tuto] 8.3.5, openSUSE Tumbleweed, installation
Both v7 and v8 will try to use port 7396.
If one wants to use both, port 7396 should disabled on v7. I think the client option is web-enable false

Re: [tuto] 8.3.5, openSUSE Tumbleweed, installation
thanks
I don't use simultaneously the two versions. One version is sufficient.
It seems that the 8.3.5 is mature enought to switch to the 8.3.5.

Today, for the very first time, fah-client uploaded one cpu and one gpu works. My account was credited with success.
Long life to fah-client.

Re: [tuto] 8.3.5, openSUSE Tumbleweed, installation
Please compile from source instead. The generated RPM should work on openSUSE.
Install double-clicking on the RPM file. GNOME Software or similar will take care of it. Or use the terminal:
Ignore ("i") when zypper complains the package is not signed.
Code: Select all
sudo zypper -n in git scons gcc-c++ libopenssl-devel zlib-devel libbz2-devel systemd-devel rpm-build systemd-rpm-macros
git clone https://github.com/cauldrondevelopmentllc/cbang
git clone https://github.com/foldingathome/fah-client-bastet
export CBANG_HOME=$PWD/cbang
scons -C cbang
scons -C fah-client-bastet
scons -C fah-client-bastet package
Code: Select all
sudo zypper in ./fah-client-bastet/fah_client-<version>-1.x86_64.rpm

I switched to the beta SW too. "fah-client-bastet" version 8.3.8 is available for several openSUSE distributions at https://software.opensuse.org/package/fah-client-bastet
It's pretty much untested, feedback is welcome!
Have fun

Note that v8.3.8 is not a beta version, it is still an alpha version and problems are expected.

@curiosity
replacing fah-client exe by the one from
https://master.foldingathome.org/builds ... se.tar.bz2
resolves the problem. FAH runs well.

Nobody should be packaging alpha builds, which are frequently broken. Bleeding edge builds even more so.
v8.3.8 is broken in multiple ways on all platforms.
