Why are my GPU WUs failing?
When I turn on FAH, the CPU WU works as normal, but the GPU WU fails almost immediately. I tried stopping and starting fah-client, and updating rocm-hip-runtime and ocl-icd, which usually fixes such problems, but the issue persists.
Maybe this has something to do with me running a full system update prior to folding?
My system specs: Ryzen 5 7600X, Radeon RX 9070 XT, running CachyOS.

Re: Why are my GPU WUs failing?
Should I just run all of those commands?

not all.
reading the thread usually helps to see what you need to run. finding out what is actually failing for you in fah also should help you find out if you actually need to run all those commands.
And again, posting logs when things are failing would help me not to waste my time guessing about what is actually failing for you. Respect other people's time when asking for help, please

I'm sorry, I can't seem to find the log for those particular WUs.

You can find all the logs in /var/log/fah-clientSwooferfan wrote: ↑Sun Feb 22, 2026 6:48 pm I'm sorry, I can't seem to find the log for those particular WUs.
Check the one which would correspond to the time when the fail happened

Look at the "Work Unit #" in the info page and then in terminal, grep WU[number] /var/log/fah-client/*´ to find the correct log.Swooferfan wrote: ↑Sun Feb 22, 2026 6:48 pm I'm sorry, I can't seem to find the log for those particular WUs.
for example, "Work Unit #950"
Code: Select all
grep WU950 /var/log/fah-client/log*
