Disabling beta GPU slot

Post by DocJonz »

Did a routine update this morning (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) and now my GPUs have been disabled across all machines, indicating some beta GPU issue (which has never been set up on these clients);

No changes to GPU.txt
I would advise updating your client to the latest version to avoid these type of issues

Couldn't fix the issue, so bit the bullet and transferred all the clients to v8.5.5 ... fond farewell HFM.NET :wink:

Is there a way for a third party to be able to 'see' my machine clients listed in v8, i.e. to see how they are getting on, but not be able to change anything?

No, only the account holder is able to see their machines from anywhere in the world on any device with the browser
