[FAH client 8.5.7] Started folding but I receive no work units

[Bud Specter]

Hi,

I have an AMD Radeon 7800 XT graphics card. I'm on Fedora 43, built FAH client from the latest source code, and followed the instructions
here: viewtopic.php?t=43533
and here: viewtopic.php?t=43222

I opened the Web UI and checked that my GPU is supported. Then I clicked on "Fold All" and nothing happened. Is this intended or am I missing something?

This is my machine log:

Code: Select all

Go to your settings within Web UI. Click on padlock icon bottom right corner. Acknowledge the warning. Untick everything, and put CPU slider to 0. On left hand side Click Add, name the resource group 7800XT. Click OK. Tick your gfx1101, and then untick everything else, except HIP. Click Add on the left hand side again. Name the group CPU. Click OK. Untick everything, put CPU slider to the number of threads you have on your CPU, minus 1 or 2. So if you have 16 thread CPU, set it to 15-14. Click Save at the top right corner. Now click fold on your GPU group, see if you can receive any work. After that click on your CPU group if you wish to fold on your CPU too
Let us know how that goes.

P.S. there is no need to build from source code anymore. foldingathome.org/beta has rpm package pre-built

The bleeding edge client is currently broken.
Please use 8.5.6 beta.

Thanks a lot to both of you. I didn't know there was a pre-built rpm package. With version 8.5.6 I receive work units now! Topic is solved.
