That's great lie, Bruce, and almost as helpful as tell people that COVID-19 will just disappear. Abuse your volunteers often?

The documentation for client.xml is actually provided by FAHControl, but since you can't run that without the deprecated dependency, you're on your own. Do you have another system on your LAN that can run FAHControl? You can enable remote control and manage the settings on one system with FAHContro...

Yeah, that was my sloppy Copy-Pasta skills. The closing remarks are there.

I would like to better documentation for this even if it will never be fully supported. If a volunteer is able to return valid results to the project then documenting the client config files shouldn't be too much to ask.

Well what I did was copy the options available to FAHClient to a text file with the command: FAHClient --help > fahclient_help.txt and then read through it with: less fahclient_help.txt while I was editing the config.xml in another terminal window. It took a few false starts to get it all going but ...

So then the options list in the output of "options -a" from a telnet session to FAHClient equate directly to <option v='value'/> in the config.xml?

Unfortunately python-gobject-2 is a deprecated package, which makes me nervous. I'd rather do things by hand than install software that might not get security and bug fixes.

Hello, I have three system running F@H right now, all on Linux. My desktop is running Ubuntu 20.04 so I cannot use the FAH Control program (dependency issues with the .deb package) to configure my systems. I have searched the internet on and off over the last few days but I can't find documentation ...
