Folding Forum

Hahaha - never mind I found Folding@Home in Ubuntu Software App as a snap app which installs everything - the client, the controller, & the viewer all at the same time. Nice!

Is folding@home dead on Linux now or what? I was able to install client & start folding on a Ubuntu 22.04 LTS system but I don't know how to control it without FAHControl which I used to be able to install & use up until I think 21.10 but those instructions I used don't seem to work in 22.04...

I could not get Folding 7.6.21 to work completely under Ubuntu's current release, 20.04. I backed down to 19.10 which works and for a while still had security updates.

Me too with 1xUbuntu 20.04 Desktop & 1xUbuntu 20.04 Server:
16926 (50, 429, 4) &
16926 (99, 821, 4), respectively

UPDATE:

Ok so just to follow up while I couldn't get this distro to work out for me I did manage to get FAHControl to work by using these instructions: https://www.reddit.com/r/Folding/commen ... untu_2004/ However I did have to install python-cairo since when I got to the sudo dpkg -i python-gtk2_2.24.0-6_...

Unable to get FAHControl working using these instructions on Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 So then I too did the following: Uninstall the client on Linux and ensure these directories are deleted: /etc/fahclient -> Verifiied non-existent after uninstall /var/lib/fahclient -> Verifiied non-existent after unins...
