NixOS, AMD GPU and v8 (specifically v8.3.18)

damage · Post by **damage** » Sat Dec 28, 2024 4:38 pm

Hi All,
Thanks for stopping by and looking at my post.

Does anyone fold on NixOS? I have 3 issues that maybe need fixing to allow me using the GPU on v8.3.18 (although happened on previous versions also):

1) HTTP errors:
16:22:42:I1:OUT186:< HTTP/1.1 503 HTTP_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE
16:22:42:E :OUT186:HTTP_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE: {"error":{"message":"Please wait","code":503}}

2) Bad work units for multiple WU:
16:22:25:W :WU475537:Core returned BAD_WORK_UNIT (114)

3) "Does not belong" errors:
16:14:22:E :WU with client ID (variable ID for all messages) does not belong client (common ID for all messages)

I get a SIGINT on a process - it looks like the GPU WU gets downloaded then quickly fails, but I thought I'd tackle the above first as a possible cause of that as with NixOS the last piece of the puzzle could be challenging.

I'm happy to upload logs but I'm hoping for a steer on the hopefully easy issues so I can sort those out to help focus on what remains!

Hi, your username is well known within FAH. You have been failing massive, I mean, massive amounts of work units in past several months, to the point where failure rate was in 10s of thousands a day. I tried to contact you in one of the forums I noticed you were in (was it level1techs?), but there was no response. So we made a decision to blacklist your username, because researchers would fail their whole project because of this. I mean, look at your log, WU475537. That is 475 thousand WUs, 99% of them failed.
So anyways, above is for your question number 1.
Question 2 requires full system config posted with drivers installed, clinfo output.
Please update your clients to latest beta (soon to be full released, hopefully) from foldingathome.org/beta.
I hope for the moment you paused all your FAHClients until this can be resolved, hopefully.
Also, please go into you fahclient Web interface, click on log icon within it (for the PC, not for the slot), in the search bar enter WU475537, punch Enter, and paste the log here, please.
And we can go from there

Welcome to the forum, what took you so long

NixOS ... sounds like an exotic distribution ... how close is it to one that is supported by FAH ?

But as muziqaz said, we need to see logs from the client.

Other points - thanks for the welcome

For the latest version, should that be the 8.4 series? Using versions other than packaged ones are more awkward, so I'd like to target the correct one. Also I'll ask the maintainer to keep a lookout for the full release.
As for taking so long? The last time I scoured the forums NixOS seemed the lonely child and I wasn't sure I'd stick with the OS at all or spare the time. I still don't have the time, but it turns out I can be stubborn...

latest beta as in v8.4.9 www.foldingathome.org/beta
This version introduced more strict and more visible WU failures (partly due to your activity

). So now users will be able to identify failing resource groups, or computers. That client also stops further downloads of new WUs if there are 5 (or something like that) failures on that device.
Your drivers seem to be fine, for all intents and purposes. I see one of the failed WUs was using core23, which is not uncommon due to GLIBC issues, however other users tend to not go into 100s of thousands of failed WUs

I'm a bit confused of the purpose of NixOS, what is it based on? the reason I ask is to understand how current your libraries are.
Let's say Linux Mint 22 is based on Ubuntu 24.04, so I know that Mint 22 is latest iteration with latest packages.
Or Linux Mint 21 is based on Ubuntu 22.04, which has older packages and libraries. I know this does not help anything, other than us figuring out how current your system/distro is. I would guess that NixOS is using relatively old Linux base. If possible to upgrade do so, that will help in a way to sort out the failure issue. Culprit is GLIBC version mismatch. core23 and core24 need newer GLIBC version than what you have currently on your system.
For the moment I would suggest just folding on a CPU, since we have no workaround for core failures in Linux. Your CPU should be able to to receive WUs to fold, as only GPU project owners have blacklisted your username. Once we have solution to the failure issue, we will remove the limitations.
To not fold on your GPU either pause it. Or in options untick it completely.

But as muziqaz said, we need to see logs from the client.

NixOS is the exemplar distribution using Nix - a tool for package management and system config that aims to be reproducible, declarative, and reliable.

When it works, it is awesome. There are cases when it is a severe pain, but I like the idea, and learning new things, so I have stuck with it....although I do feel I am the only fah user with NixOS sometimes

It is worth taking a look at nixos.org - even if just to convince yourself you never want to go near it!

I did have a look at the website earlier and back when we first noticed your activities.
While you say you might be the only NixOS user in FAH, your team says otherwise. There are quite a few other users who joined the team, maybe they are also on this OS?

In regards to FAH and Linux, FAH likes simple distros, which have good driver support and are more popular. Ubuntu is the number one choice, but Mint is not bad, if one does not like Ubuntu's direction

I use the unstable branch of NixOS a rolling release. In terms of libraries, given that glibc is mentioned elsewhere on the forum, I am currently on version 2.4. The package was bumped from 8.3.7 to 8.3.18 3 months ago.

I believe it should be possible to specify the version of any libraries required in the packaging process, although that is more advanced than my current knowledge. I will investigate...

I will try and get the current package updated as well.
