Well I don't know how many times I should restart the client to make the "statistics" believable. But I tried once by stopping and starting with the script, and once by stopping with script and then rebooting the computer. There was no difference between those two types of startups, both s...

JimboPalmer: yes, that is possible. It seems that if I manually kill the client (as I did in my previous reply) and then turn off the computer, it works as it should. The same project is resumed when I start the computer again. So killing means a checkpoint is saved, but otherwise not? Ok, so while ...

Ok, I see, thanks Joe and bruce! Kill FAHClient if it appears in "top" but it's not working. Ok. So I did ps -a in the terminal, and I found this line: PID TTY TIME CMD ... 9400 tty1 00:00:09 FAHControl But I could not see any FAHClient at all. Run su /etc.init.d/FAHClient start then check...

Kill FAHClient if it appears in "top" but it's not working. (It never uses very much CPU, so look for one or more FAHCore* which either is or is not use CPU resources.) Run su /etc.init.d/FAHClient start then check if things are running -- and ultimately, does it find checkpoints? I dont'...

Yes, I can confirm there is a script /etc/init.d/FAHClient.

Ok. So it isn't a permissions problem then?
I just have the regular ubuntu install, no special scripts or anything.
In my /etc/passwd file this line has been added, so at least I know the user fahclient exists:

fahclient128:65534:Folding@home Client:/var/lib/fahclient:/usr/sbin/nologin

Thanks for the speedy reply bruce! I checked the permissions in those folders now. It seems to me that the work folder is accessible to all. I don't know if I'm missing something. This is what it looked like: sasha@sashaspc:/var/lib/fahclient$ ls -la total 32 drwxrwxr-x 6 fahclient root 4096 aug 22 ...

Hi! I hope this is the right place to post this! When I turn my computer off, the F@H client always start at 0 % at a new project after reboot. Such a waste of computation! Could it be that the saved checkpoints are not found after reboot? Does anyone know how to fix it? I installed the software a f...

Thanks for the quick and helpful reply JimboPalmer! I will look into it and start a new thread.
I don't know what express install is. I used the one that works for ubuntu.

Hi, I was wondering the same thing, and found this thread. I've tried turning off the computer, and every time the calculations seem to start at 0 % at a new project after reboot. Is this normal? I know it's supposed to save a checkpoint every X minutes and start from there. I tried waiting until th...
