@bollix47 I hadn't created a Beta user account yet, but that's not the issue. Anyway I created the account. I was working before with 8.3.5 without an account.
@calxalot - Yes!! Thanks!!!
I had 8.3.5 previously installed and working fine. my PPD had dorpped from 12k PPD to 5K PPD for an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER
on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS .
Nvidia driver versions seem to have given me issues on FAH 7.6.21 and after upgrading / downgrading drivers, Ubuntu updates and dealing with FAH 7.6.21 breaking during this process I decided just to move to FAH 8.3.5 .
Sooo.. 8.3.5 was installed and working, the PPD dropped, so I updated Nvidia drivers to the latest along with the latest Ubuntu updates 22.04.4 LTS. In the process FAH broke.
I previously uninstalled FAH 7.6.21 prior to installing 8.3.5 but the uninstall was not complete, so I took this chance to manually remove /var/lib/fahclient and /var/log/fahclient .
With the machine relatively clean at this point I Uninstalled FAH 8.3.5 and re-installed it (Open fah-client_8.3.5_amd64.deb with Software Install). FAH did not come up or appear in
https://beta.foldingathome.org/machines . The fah-client was not running as reported by Systme monitor GUI, or cmd line ps. Then numerous reboots, install / uninstall / install..... to no avail.
I ran the systemctl commands in your post and everything is good now! Running again at 12k PPD on the latest Nvidia drivers!

Is it possible the FAH 8.3.5 uninstall is incomplete and leaves files or systemctl configuration for the fah-client service that keeps the installer from making a good install with a running fah-client?
