Folding Forum

I have downloaded the client on Fedora, and after installing it there was no pop-up about a passkey or donor, it just opened into the simulation. The "Current work unit" box is blank for Project FahCore Progress and Time Left, the "Donor" is blank for Name and Team, Status says that constant "Snapshots" are going, but the connection keeps saying trying and the protein says demo. and the slot part is empty, i have no idea what to do and or if this is normal.

This looks like you have installed FAHViewer not FAHClient?

yes

Was that what you intended? … If you want to fold you need to install FAHClient and probably (if you are using a gui) FAHControl … FAHClient runs the workload … FAHControl gives you ease of configuration of FAHClient … FAHViewer allows you to see animations of the folding (a bit buggy at the moment iirc)

Welcome to the Forums, and welcome to folding (I hope).

Any issues/questions come back and ask … some people here bark, but pretty much no-one bites … and in their own way nearly everyone tries to be helpful

I got it to work, thank you Neil for helping me realize there was more then one thing.

wait how do i mark as solved

edit the thread title if you can

I'm a windows user … we just have a single installer … it is dumbed down for us
