Thoughtlessly switched GPU on MAC - Can't do nothing

Hello,
I'm very fresh here. Installed the program on my Mac. It looked very inactive, so I've started scrolling over Configuration Guide and since someone mentioned that corona needs GPU, bang – I did it.
Now I'm stuck and can not go back. This is a message I get after opening the program:
On client "local" XXXXXX Option "gpu-index" has no default and is not set. iter should be a GtkTreelter
The only option when I'm hitting the "
Configure!" button on the top left is Connection (Client connection, name, address, password). All other options are gone.
I've tried to uninstall and install again. Even with cleaned hidden files, it looks like the program stores some more, because after the new installation I have the same problem...

Run FAHControl and in Configure+slots remove the GPU slot.

Quick directions for fixing this:
Go to the Applications folder and open the Folding@home folder. Use the Uninstaller located there to remove the client.
Next go to /Library/Application Support and move the FAHClient folder to the Trash. You can take the config.xml file out of the FAHClient folder to use for copying and pasting setup information like Team, Username, and passkey if you need that info. You may be prompted for an Admin account password.
Reinstall the F@h software, you will be prompted as a new install.
Because FAHControl can not connect to the background FAHClient process, Bruce's solution is not enough to correct the setup.

Hi Joe H. I have the same problem. I followed your directions however there was no config.xml file...no biggie..did uninstall and re-install and the error persists. I am at a loss to understand where it is keeping the config data and not allowing me a fresh install. Running Mac 10.13.6 on a 2009 Mac Pro with 24 processor cores and 96 gb ram.
Please advise additional instructions to get the client working properly please.
to respond to bruce, when I open FAH control, it hangs to I can't go to configure + slots.

@IonLake Unless something was installed in a non-standard location, running the Uninstall and deleting /Library/Application Support/FAHClient should remove the entire install of the client. I can't think of anything else offhand to look for, Iwill contact the person who help in the porting to OS X and writing the Uninstall if he has nany ideas.

Hi Joe_H. It's really a bummer. Yes uninstalled the folder and ran the uninstall for the app. I've learned that under users it creates an .xml file and I've read it and there's nothing that shows the GPU error. I'm running a RX580 GPU and I USED to have a Ti-980 that had CUDA support. Here's the FAHclient report from running from terminal:

Hopefully helpful tip: If you edit your post (or when creating new replies click on the full editor next to submit), highlight the whole log entry the click on the code button at the top of that window it will put markers around it so that it appears in a scrollable window and is a bit easier to read/digest

First I will mention that running from the terminal uses different paths for the CWD: and location of the config.xml file, and as you can also see has stored the folding core under your account as well.
Heard back from person who assisted on OS X porting.
Can you check the ownership and permissions on /usr/local/bin? I see the following on my 10.13.6 system:
Code: Select all
$ ls -l /usr/local
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 136 Apr 15 14:43 bin
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Apr 1 2018 remotedesktop
$ ls -l /usr/local/bin
total 21920
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9674368 Apr 15 03:16 FAHClient
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1548032 Apr 15 03:16 FAHCoreWrapper
The only other thing I can think of is that the installer creates a .plist file for FAHClient to be running in the background in /Library/LaunchDaemons named org.foldingathome.fahclient.plist. Check to see if that is there, it should be readable by 'wheel' and everyone and R/W by 'system'.
If you can check the Console log for messages around the time after you first installed the client and FAHControl could not connect that path ford not exist for /usr/local/bin/FAHClient.

I checked permissions on or.foldingathome.fahclientlist.plist and Everyone & wheel is R/O, system is R/W.
What else could I check/fix/delete to make the client responsive?

Trying to think what else to check, things that could interfere with FAHControl connecting to FAHClient over a local net IP. That usually would be firewall settings, or some other anti-malware software setting. They connect over local IP 127.0.0.1 on port 36330. Web Control connects over the same IP, but port 7396.
Going over this step by step, the installer should request an admin account password to authorize installation. After installing, launchctl should start up a background process running FAHControl with all appropriate paths defined.
Web Control should launch in a browser window. Due to changes in security settings its default URL of
https://client.foldingathome.org/ will not connect in Safari, it may work in other browsers. A workaround for Safari is to change the https to http and refresh.
This opening of Web Control is for the initial setup, but it should still start folding on what is auto-configured after a couple minutes.
At this point after an install was FAHClient running as shown in Activity Monitor or using top in Terminal?
Even without setup, FAHControl should be able to connect to FAHClient at this stage, setup can also be done there.
Hopes this gives some places to check and let us know where something does not work.

I tried connecting via chrome instead of Safari. Error I get is, Folding@home disconnected. Reload page?
The client app says it's running. But it's hung. i can't click on anything, but the work queue is running and updating. There needs to be a way to pause the client so I can change settings. I can add a new client. I can also remove a client. But the information doesn't store. When I restart the app, it comes right back.
in Activity monitor, I have FAHCoreWrapper, FahCore_a7 (using 2,015% of CPU), FAHClient, and FAHControl.
I still can't fix what I broke.

I am not a Mac user but the issue with Web Control (used via the browser) was fixed in the next version which has been released: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=34466
Maybe you can finish the current WU and then try a fresh installation?
Re: Thoughtlessly switched GPU on MAC - Can't do nothing

Thanks Pantherx. Here's how I fixed it.
Uninstall the client.
Delete any files since installation that have FAH in them. log files, text files, (do this at your own risk).
Go to Library and do the same thing.
Reboot.
Go get the new client and install.
BTW, when I installed it took me to the web...REMEMBERED MY LOGIN! Apparently, there's still other files that hold this data, that don't have FAH in them.
When I loaded the FAH control, the GPU was still there, BUT...
I was able to go to configure and DELETE the GPU instance, finally.
