FAHClient is set to run on Medium power, on a Ubuntu 20.04 server. CPU usage monitoring shows 100% usage on one of the cores, while the others have smaller loads. Is this an issue, for example, by concentrating higher heat rates on one portion of the CPU (sorry if this sounds naive or even stupid, b...

Cool! (pun intended :wink: ) Didn't know about that kind of hardware. Maybe it's worth giving a try, indeed. I just looked at the prices here (BR) and, for what it is, it's salty! US$ 30 for what it seems a more a less common fan :eo https://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-1482188495-ventoinha-coole...

Thanks. As for the temperatures, the lack of a fan is a main requirement, since I have this server in a room where I don't want fan noise, specially because it runs 24x7. I've been monitoring the temperature and other basic variables with Cacti since I started folding and so far so good: https://lh3...

Also, it is advisable not to adjust cores etc. when a unit is in progress as you may corrupt any existing work done on it and have the work rejected at the end if it doesn't start again from zero percent Are there specific log messages indicating that the work has been rejected? EDIT: I suspect it ...

Thank you guys!

And one more question: it seems that the power tag is overridden by the number of cpus I put in the slot tag. Is that right? EDIT: And another one: Isn't this cheating, what I've done? I've set it up to full power, received a WU accordingly, more points, then I lower the power. In the end, I end up ...

I would like to go at full power, but I'm afraid of toasting the machine . It's a fanless micro-Atx sat on a room without ar condiotining, so...

Thaks, @NRT.
While you were posting your answer, I changed cpus v=2, then reload (sudo /etc/init.d/FAHClient reload) and it immediately droped cpu usage to 50%.
I think this is it, right?

Hi, I've been contributing for almost a month now, and cpu usage is 25% (light). Two days ago I saw https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=35189&hilit=ubuntu+change+power&start=30#p333876 and changed etc/fahclient/config.xml slot tag to this: <!-- Folding Slots --> <slot id='0' t...

Please disregard my latest post.
I've already installed the client and it doesn't require any graphical packages.

Hi, I just came from installing f@h client on a ubuntu server 20.04, but there is an issue with systemctl (see below). top shows the client is running. Is there anything I should do to get systemctl handle f@h client as a service? gustavo@srv:~$ sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog Apr 25 21:08:13 srv syste...

If you're comfortable with CLI, then you can only install the FAHClient package (skip FAHControl and FAHViewer). Yes, I am. So it won't install any graphical stuff in the server, right? It doesn't seem to, from the client deb info below, but I just want to make sure I won't loose time cleaning up t...

I'm about to finish my home linux server setup and be ready to switch off my work f@h client.

One question: is the linux f@h client suitable to run on a headless ubuntu server? I don't want to install any gui packages in this server.

Please note that you will need to have permission (usually written) as per the EULA from the system owner or your manager or someone else who's authorized to make that kind of decision. Thanks for having mentioning that. Although I'm relatively sure that I could get such approval, now it's not the ...

Fairly sure it was HaloJones above who was helping in the other thread :) ... so I'll duck out now and get out of the way Sorry if I sounded disrespectful, it wasn't my intention. Thanks for your help :e) The machine that's doing the work needs to be running proprietary drivers for you GPU and the ...
