The bit of log you posted shows a client unable to connect to the account server.

Some had trouble connecting because the system clock was wrong.

Web UI still can run on any OS, as long as there is compatible browser on the device.
I can check my progress through my android phone without any issues

thanks alot,

tis has been effectively the cause<

running ntpdate did solve it, getting me the correct local time *rome
making the connections visible.

however, booting into window 10, the time was now 2 hours in advance.
setting it automatically in windows 10 (universal greenwhich time , +1 for rome , +1 for legal time) took it back to local time,

but next time into linux back to square one (time set to greenwhich local time, and no connections visible in fah webview)

there is a simpler solution to this mess for system-d OS

Code: Select all

sudo timedatectl set-local-rtc 1
but this wont function without system-d

there is apparently solution to this too but at the moment seems not working on my computer

thanks again for all the help,
consider the case closed,
did just not notice the time was "off" on the system and laid the blame elsewhere

would be nice if could get a permanent solution to the dualboot woes.

It requires libsystemd.so.0 on the system. If it can't find that, it won't start up. That's not even up to fah-client. The dynamic linker on Linux, which is responsible for executing dynamically-linked programs, will refuse to start it if it cannot find all the libraries that it depends on.

Code: Select all

$ wget -q https://download.foldingathome.org/releases/public/fah-client/debian-10-64bit/release/fah-client_8.4.9-64bit-release.tar.bz2
$ tar xjf fah-client_8.4.9-64bit-release.tar.bz2 fah-client_8.4.9-64bit-release/fah-client
$ ldd fah-client_8.4.9-64bit-release/fah-client | grep systemd
	libsystemd.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsystemd.so.0 (0x000077503962e000)
Whether libsystemd.so.0 can be installed as a shim that doesn't require systemd as your init if you don't use systemd features is something I don't know.
