"Failed response: EOF" on new v8.4.9 on CLI Ubuntu

Post by agrikk »

Hey all -

I've just stood up two new GPU machines to run F@H 8.4.9 and the error logs for both show
16:45:02:I1:OUT1:> PUT https://api.foldingathome.org/machine/B ... Aq-4xaSfno HTTP/1.1
16:45:02:E :OUT1:Failed response: EOF
16:45:17:I1:OUT2:> PUT https://api.foldingathome.org/machine/B ... Aq-4xaSfno HTTP/1.1
16:45:17:E :OUT2:Failed response: EOF
16:45:39:I1:OUT3:> PUT https://api.foldingathome.org/machine/B ... Aq-4xaSfno HTTP/1.1
16:45:39:E :OUT3:Failed response: EOF
Can someone help me troubleshoot this?

Here are the steps I took:

1. sudo apt -y install pkexec polkitd-pkla policykit-1
2. sudo dpkg -i --force-depends fah-client_8.4.9_amd64.deb
3. sudo systemctl start fah-client

[note that at no point was I prompted for my username, team number, passkey or token. Is that normal?]

4. sudo systemctl stop fah-client
5. edit /etc/fah-client/config.xml:

Code: Select all

<config>
  <account-token v="===token==="/>
  <user v="Agrikk"/>
  <passkey v="===passkey==="/>
</config>
6. sudo systemctl start fah-client


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

Code: Select all

No idea what EOF means, but to get your GPU recognized: viewtopic.php?t=42491

Not sure also on the EOF meaning but I have experienced those messages randomly on vast.ai servers in exotic or remote (Alaska) locations and interpreted them as connexion issues with FAH servers. Changing instances make them go away.

Do you have any firewall settings that prevent connexion, can you ping assignment server etc. ?

EOF means End Of File. If a network connection ends prematurely, it's called an EOF error.
