Folding Forum

I wanted to see if I could help out again with folding,
First question would be: Does FAH run COVID 19 GPU WUs, or only CPU?

If GPU,
is there anyone that could help me out setting up the client from terminal (post install)?
I'm running Ubuntu 19.04 and 20.04, and Control still doesn't work on it.

I'd like to do find the location of the config file, and an example of what needs to be in there (like user name, team number, key, GPU only setting, set client to accept COVID19 tasks, and set to full folding,... and other).

Then I need the command to start the client from terminal, as it seems that "sudo /etc/init.d/fahclient start" no longer works.

Yes, FAH runs COVID 19 GPUs, and how!

You'll find a good howto (at least for Nvidia GPUs) here: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/10 ... lding-rig/
For example, Fahcontrol needs Python2 and your Ubuntu "only" has Python3. You'll find instructions at the link above.

For AMD cards, I recommend downloading here (for your specific card): https://www.amd.com/en/support
and then installing the Pro Variant of OpenCL with only the base kernel: https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/e ... ro-variant

You'll find the config file in /etc/fahclient

You should be able to stop/start/restart using

Do note that F@H also has COVID-19 WUs for CPUs too. You can choose if you would like to contribute your CPU or GPU or both

My system runs Ubuntu 19.10 and 20.04, and I'm not going to downgrade it to 18, hence I'm needing the terminal setup information.

The link AJM listed should work.
I would change the lines:
Copy the Most recent Debian Package from foldingathome.org
Install the Package as a Service (Daemon)
