While you wait for me to get working on the next release, which should have many of these problems fixed, have you tried manually setting the timezone in FahMon's preferences? It may help.

uncle_fungus,

Sorry, I didn't see your post before I posted mine, it was the first post on the next page.

Anyway, you fixed it. Somehow the TZ deal got manually set on the machine that was having the issue. I tried checking the box on the machine that was working right and it immediately showed both of it's clients in red. Unchecked it, back to green. Duh, I went over and unchecked the box on the problem machine and the red problem went away. Funny thing is I don't recall ever checking that box, I usually leave stuff at defaults unless there's some reason not to.

Thanks for developing and supporting this program.

I'm having an issue with FahMon today.

When I double click on the icon in the system tray, fahmon shows in the taskbar. It shows minimized (no fahmon box on my display). I can right click it and hit maximize, and it maximizes to the full window. When I hit restore (either by the upper right had buttton, or right clicking on the taskbar) it restores to minimized. Basically, I cannot get fahmon to run in a non maximized window.

It was running fine for several weeks with no change. I've closed it and reopened it numerous times. I've also rebooted. Guess I'll reinstall it.

Just seeing if there was anyone else with this issue.


EDIT: Deleting the prefs.dat file fixed everything for me.

Thanks for the report on that, if it ever happens again, could you email me the prefs.dat file for me to check out? There is code in FahMon that should prevent that happening by detecting invalid window dimensions (like 0x0).

I'm having a LOT of issues lately with fahmon. It has been crashing on me almost hourly lately. My system is FAH stable and has been for months. I'm debating a reinstall of fahmon.

It keeps crashing and windows pops up saying that fahmon has stopped responding. Many times this happens when I click between clients in the status box. Fahmon will stall and then crash with a windows "not responding" box. There are numerous event logs for the crashes in event viewer. Don't know what to tell you other than that i'm on Vista 32bit. I've sent you my prefs.dat file when the crash is really bad. Kinda getting irritated with this.

I am getting the same problems across two machines. It seems to happen when clicking between different clients in the list. I have FahMon installed on 3 machines. One of them monitors 2 SMP clients and 2 GPU2 clients; this one crashes the most. Another instance monitors 2 CPU clients, 1 SMP client and 1 GPU2 client. This one has only crashed 4-5 times. The last one monitors 6 CPU clients and has never crashed.

Before killing the process, I often notice that it's sucking up an entire CPU core and ~150mb ram.

Another bug. If I open FahMon and it detects clients running unknown projects and auto downloads new projects, it doesn't update the PPD for those clients. It just shows them as unknown. But then if you manually tell it to download new projects, the PPD numbers come right up.

The only time FahMon crashes for me is on startup. I get one of those "Please report this problem to Microsoft" popups and I've sent them a few reports but I'm not really hopeful. If I start it three or four times, it finally starts.

These issues have been noted and are in the process of being fixed (this particular crash issue is likely fixed with the latest commits to svn).

Linux fahmon install/compile issues

Post by tmoble »

Hi, UF

Have a pretty clean Fed9 64 system. DL'd fahmon source and soon found out about needing wxGTK and devel. Used yum to install that OK, no errors. went to compile fahmon in a sub-dir of my home directory. ./config ended OK, returned 0. Compiled fahmon, seemed to be going OK at first, I went for a snack. While I was gone it errored out. Here's the error text from compiler:
client.o: In function `Client::Reload()':
/home/Tom/F@HMon/FahMon-2.3.2b/src/client.cpp:232: undefined reference to `ProjectsManager::Save()'

Any bright ideas? Compiler has been working good on this machine, I've compiled Wine, the cuda stuff, nvclock, some other small stuff. Wine was the biggie.

currently using tail -f on the GPU and SMP logs. Helps a guy remember how nice fahmon is. :)

Its a problem picked up by the latest gcc compilers (already fixed in SVN).

You need to open projectsManager.cpp and on lines 90 and 124 remove the "inline" declaration. I.e.:

Code: Select all

inline void ProjectsManager::Load(void)
becomes

Code: Select all

void ProjectsManager::Load(void)
The same applies to ProjectsManager::Save

I had a lot of trouble with Windows SMP ver 6.22Beta2r2 and switched to 6.22Beta2r3. This version is running stable for me, but FahMon shows ETA as N/A and PPD as --. R3 is a drop in executable replacement for the FAH executable, so to install it I install R2 first then replace the executable with the R3 version. I tried a fresh install, same results. All three systems that have been converted to R3 are showing the same symptoms. Any ideas?

Thanks for your work on this program, its much appreciated!

./configure ended OK
./make ended OK
su - , make install ended OK, looking good

exited root, went to /usr/local/bin, ran ./fahmonm came up OK, added the Linux SMP client, came right up. added the Win GPU client that running under Wine, fahmon crashed instantly with a bug report.

last section of the bug report:

----------- .xsession-errors (101 sec old) ---------------------

Are there any news on the Linux FahMon crashing when asked to monitor a GPU client? Is there a fix?
