As the titel says the program just wont start at all, no error no nothing.

I tried to uninstall and install the program 2 times, but no change.
It worked just as i installed it the first time, but then i tried to change some CPU and GPU settings, to make it use more of my computer power, and now it wont eaven start

Same problem here.

My OS: Linux Mint 19.3 x64 Cinnamon
Version of F@H: latest .deb for that OS; I got the .deb from the website. (But which deb? See below.)

I had the impression that after installing the package, a service might have started, but, if so, I couldn't find it. I did manage to run the program - after installing the .deb - in a terminal, but (1) it prompted me for input and I did not know how to answer (where are the instructions, please?), (2) after I supplied what I thought it wanted, it threw some errors (in red text).

I would investigate all of this more, and provide a log file, if you provide some proper instructions (ideally somewhere easy to find from the download page) and, especially, if you actually tell people whether they need the 'client' or the 'viewer' or both. In the meantime, I'll try the Windows version.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

For Linux, you need the FAHClient and FAHControl packages. Install FAHClient first. It should have installed as a service and you should be able to control it with "sudo service FAHClient start". Does that work?

The log file is located at /var/lib/fahclient/log.txt
