Hi all! This is my first post. I hope I'm using the right area to post this.

I just wanted to relate what's happened this weekend using the latest fah client:

Following a rare reboot of my Mac, I noticed, after some time, that it was running cooler than "normal", i.e the processor load was way below what it's normally running at when the fah client is active and the computer is otherwise idle. So I checked both the web-based and advanced FAHControl program and saw that no actual work was being done. The client seemed to be communication correctly with the server. So I rechecked all parameters and configuration. No result. I assumed that there must be no work unit available and left it at that. The next day, same situation. So I decided to uninstall the software and re-install it. No results... A while later, playing around with the logs, I noticed this message coming-up every time a new work unit was being started: WU01:FS00:FahCore returned: INTERRUPTED (102 = 0x66). I had something like 300 tries on log.

To make the story short, after another re-install, I decided to look again at the configuration. I tried something: I went to the configure menu in the advanced control program, to the "slots" tab and removed the CPU slot. Then I recreated a new one. This seems to have cured the problem. The FAH client dumped all curent WU info and fetched another one, from a different server,judging from the i.p. address and has resumed working properly, as far as I can tell anyway.

Thanks!

Welcome to foldingforum.org, pixelum.

There have been a few other reports of the same problem: a loop involving INTERRUPTED. As far as I know, it's an unresolved problem -- and the best fix known is to remove and recreate the slot.

Apparently your active log is showing that everything is working as expected. In FAH's data directory you will find a folder called "logs" which contains a number of previous logs and in one or more of them, you'll find those 300 tries. You'll also find information about the Project / Run / Clone / Gen of the Work Unit involved. If you can find this information, it would be helpful to know what WU was giving the problems.
