Hey all, I have systems with Ubuntu installs of FAH already running. I recently sourced several GPUs that I'd like to add to some of the systems and put to work. On the first system I installed the physical card, started up the system and set <gpu v='true'/> and added <slot id='2' type='GPU'/> to the config file. I then started the FAHclient. My FAHcontrol shows the cpu slot and gpu slot. However the gpu slot seems perpetually stuck at downloading. When I look at the log I get:

Code: Select all

^[[93m00:35:01:WARNING:WU02:FS02:Failed to get assignment from '171.67.108.204:80': Empty work server assignment^[[0m
^[[91m00:35:01:ERROR:WU02:FS02:Exception: Could not get an assignment^[[0m

I've gotten that error in the log around 20 times thus far.

Have I done something wrong in the way that I tried to start the GPU in FAH? Do I need to completely reinstall the FAH in order to get everything to work?

For those curious my GPU's are:
Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX
Nvidia Tesla C870
Nvidia Tesla C1060
AMD FireStream 9170 (Sadly not supported)
Radeon HD 4850 (Sadly not supported)
Radeon HD 4890 (Sadly not supported)

Thank you for your time!

Unfortunately, the 8800 GTX and Tesla C870 are no longer supported. The projects which supported FahCore_11 have ended and it's extremely unlikely any will come back. These GPUs are not supported by FahCore_15. That leaves only the C1060 as a possible working GPU.

Add the beta switch. If you get work, let us know if it folds or errors out.

One more thing, only core17 and above are supported in linux, and that requires fermi or above hardware. Or switch to Windows which supports a few older ones as mentioned.

Well that is very unfortunate. However, I'm guessing that I've setup everything I needed to properly. Thank you for the response Bruce!
