Folding Failing on Ubuntu 24.04

[Aldur]

Hi. I've been folding using several Windows machines for years. One of my machines was running Win10 and couldn't upgrade to Win11, so I decided to move to Linux on that box. I chose Ubuntu because, being a Debian derivative, I thought it would be my best bet to getting folding - which is the only reason this machine runs. I installed Ubuntu 24.04 with the proprietary nVidia drivers (580 series), and I installed the 8.4.9 F@H client using the .deb file from the F@H site. I could get the machine to fold for about 5 or 10 minutes, but then it would fail. I decided to install the 8.5.4 beta hoping a bug had been resolved, but I'm getting the same result.

I get the following WARNINGS:
04:30:46:W :WU60:Visualization topology too large, disabling visualization
04:30:46:W :WU60:Visualization size exceeded at frame 0, no more frames will be loaded

And the following ERRORS:
04:32:24:E :WU65:Core returned BAD_WORK_UNIT (114)
04:35:08:E :WU66:Core was killed
04:35:08:E :WU66:Core crashed with exit code 0
04:35:08:E :WU66:Core returned FAILED_1 (0)
04:36:57:E :WU67:Core returned BAD_WORK_UNIT (114)
04:38:06:E :WU68:Core returned BAD_WORK_UNIT (114)
04:39:33:E :WU69:Core returned BAD_WORK_UNIT (114)

The WU # changes, but the result always looks like this. A lot of BAD_WORK_UNITs, Core was killed, Core crashed with exit code 0, and Core returned FAILED_1 (0).

Can anyone suggest where to look to get me going? Thanks in advance!

Hello

04:30:46:W :WU60:Visualization topology too large, disabling visualization
04:30:46:W :WU60:Visualization size exceeded at frame 0, no more frames will be loaded

This is completely normal, it means the protection against memory leak of the viewer was triggered.

Regarding the errors, if they happen at startup, 0% folding, when running core 26/27 it's due to a library issue that was discussed in this forum. Just run

Code: Select all

sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev
sudo systemctl restart fah-client

Thank you. I'll give this a shot.

I apologize for asking an already answered question. I don't think I knew enough about what was going wrong to even perform a meaningful search.

I appreciate your help.

Sincerely,
Aldur
