Fah-client arm64 8.4 not function on Sbc

[nada391]

Hello ,

tested this version

https://download.foldingathome.org/rele ... _arm64.deb

on a sbc Pine A64+
but it would not function;

installing the versin fah-client 8.2 would only function it seems, but the the SBC seems not doing anything with the fah-client.

(armbian is running headless)

Code: Select all

systemctl status --no-pager -l fah-client

pine64:~$ fah-client --version
8.2

the error for 8.4 would be like this

maybe you can help pinpint the error;

i have also attempted to link this sbc to the web-folding@home-client,

please check if the syntax correct, it would not show up (maybe because i am using the 8.2 version?)

Code: Select all

<config/>
<account-token v=“rH9AKrH8niy3oniyEWHWMEWHfGMIjfGMOcmouOcmq7c”/>
  <machine-name v="PineA64+"/>
</config>

Please report this to github. Dev does not read this forum

[calxalot]

First line of config should be
<config>

You should try manually launching the client from command line to see more errors.

[calxalot]

You should treat your account token as confidential.

I don’t know if that “+” is allowed in machine name.

thank you, got it to run with the help of this post here

https://pifoldingguide.wordpress.com/

now it runs v7, but the setup was much easier, since the headless client asks for "username" "team" "passkey" which v8 seems to forgo.

it does not show up in webclient folding v8.4, but hope it will contribute some nevertheless.

V7 is not compatible with V8 webview
