This is a new install. 386 CPU, 512 Mib RAM, Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS.
It connects to assign3.stanford.edu & assign4.stanford.edu (OK) but has not received an assigment yet, waiting for 3 days.

Perhaps this old box is too weak?

Please advise.

Check your internet connection or more specifically DNS settings. Your machine is not converting assign3.stanford.edu to an IP address.

As best as I can tell by looking up the CPU identified in the log as "GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 10", that is Pentium 3 at 750 MHz. The minimum requirement listed in the Installation Guide is a P4 at 1.4 GHz. So I don't think you are going to find any work for that system.

There used to be suitable work for a single CPU P3, but that has mostly dried up over the last 6 months. You would probably need to run the V6 software if any is still available.

Welcome to the F@H Forum howler4x4,

Assuming that you have Pentium 3 and would like to fold, may I suggest that you look into the Chrome Folding App which was recently released for Beta Testing (viewtopic.php?f=95&t=25878). If you do experiment with it, would like to hear about your experience.

OK, P3 too weak, will explore Chrome Folding App.
Thanks to all.

Chrome won't run properly on the 386, so I can't even try the folding app.

Good to know.

FAH won't run properly on a 386 either, but I wasn't sure about the (new) Chrome client until you said it.

I'll edit the title.

Maybe I should have said "Chrome won't run properly on *MY* 386" ?

I was getting an error re. NaCL & sandbox. I gave up on it.

I don't know what other 386's would do in more linux-knowledgeble hands.
