Yes. The bug has already been fixed in SVN, so I will probably create a beta build for you to run until I finish the next gold release.

Thanks, that'd be awesome.

uh-oh

I missed this line you reply about stripping a couple lines in the source:

The same applies to ProjectsManager::Save

oops, I'll do it again.

I searched that file several times using gedit, didn't find any lines beginning with "inline" at all. Still projectsManager.cpp, right?

I do see one instance of the word "inlined" with a "d" up near the top.

any other direction?

Also, I notice that fahmon won't restart, just blinks and goes away.

Is there a way to make FahMon operate in some client/server model? I have computers running in two different locations, and it would be lovely if they could communicate with eachother so I can monitor ALL clients using the same "master FahMon".

I guess what I'm asking is can we get a feature that allows FahMon clients to export via http to another client?

You can export a file share containing F@H and point the remote FahMon at those.

Yeah, but can you make a file share over the internet? These machines are not on the same network.

I guess you could share your folders on the Internet but it would be a major security hole in your network(s). If you can run servers on your network then setup an FTP server and drop the log files onto it every 15 minutes using scripts and get the machine running FahMon to pull in the logs to update your progress.

Are you trying to compile from SVN or from one of the released versions?

In 2.3.2b the file will look like this: http://trac.fahmon.net/browser/tags/2.3 ... anager.cpp
In SVN HEAD it will look like this: http://trac.fahmon.net/browser/trunk/sr ... anager.cpp

If you run FahMon from the terminal what does it crash out with (if you're trying to monitor GPU2 clients from Linux and are not using SVN r313 or later, FahMon will crash with a segmentation fault)?

A similar request has already been made in trac: http://trac.fahmon.net/ticket/138
It's on the cards, but not for the next version at least.

Thanks uncle_fungus, looking forwards to it!

Russ_64 - great idea, I'll try to get that working. Thanks!

Another option to monitor client over the internet is the fci "Folding at Home Client Info" setup but it does take some setup and the server has to run on a Linux os here is a link to the website for more info.

Why can't I run FahMon?

I'm using the GPU Client and I sucessfully installed the FahMon (Windows Installer) recently.

But when I click the shortcut in the start menu, it keeps saying that "Could not create directory <./config/>".
After I press OK, it then says "Directory './config/' couldn't be created (error 5: access denied)

OS: Vista 64bit
Client: GPU systray install 6.20rc1

=========

Now I get rid of the problem by uninstalling it and then installing it in "C:\FahMon" instead of the default directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\FahMon"

I hope the new official release, which works with Vista's security, come up soon.

Where did you install FahMon? It sounds like Vista security doesn't want you putting data in that location. If you used "Program Files" like many of us have done for years, you have to get used to the new security rules and put the program somewhere else, or install in WinXP 32-bit compatibility mode, or disable Vista's added security.

The next official release will be built to work with Vista's security model.
