Reconfiguring installation to MANUALLY start?
Posted: Fri Jul 10, 2020 11:37 am
What is the best/easiest way to reconfigure my Folding@Home installations so that they do not automatically start upon booting, and instead allow me to manually start them? I need these instructions for both Windows and Linux.
For the record:
For the record:
- I have installed Folding@Home in the default/recommended manner in both OS environments of my dual-boot desktop machine: both Windows 10 and Ubuntu.
- Although I do my best to minimize switching between my Windows and Linux environments, I want to avoid a situation whereby a brief visit to one OS will result in a WU assignment that will stall and maybe expire once I switch to my other OS. I have tried pressing "Finish" in FAHControl and waiting for the current WU to complete and then for all folding slots to pause before switching to the other OS. But I see that this "pause" state is not persisted after booting back into the previous OS.
- On my Windows 10, I tried looking at the "Startup" settings, but did not see anything FAH-related. I assume that I can simply reinstall Folding@Home (and then choose "Start manually. (Expert)"), but I prefer to avoid doing so. Likewise for Linux, although I do not recall if I saw similar startup choices there.
