Folding Forum

Sigh, so, i'm stuck since i really don't know how to build ...

Maybe i can just copy back the 3 files i copied out of the sub-directory and it'll just start up again in ver 7.x.

Thanks again calxalot for being so patient. Have a beautiful Sunday afternoon!

As i understand the .rpm usage, it is just to install the fah-client in the proper sub-directory? Is this not correct? If it is, then i don't need to "build" anything. All i need is the fah-client file without any reference to systemd so that i can just copy it to the proper sub-directory....

Thanks again, calxalot. You're correct, of course. i got the fah-client in /usr/bin and used a terminal to see if i could run it. Nope. It reports that i need the systemd library. Well, i first need to figure out which method i must follow to build this by figuring out with which OS my OS is compati...

Thanks, calxalot! O.k. Here goes...

Have a super evening and thanks for replying!

Thanks calaxlot! Since i don't know how to build - that's not going to help very much. However i opened up and looked at the .rpm file and all it is is a bunch of directories and sub-directories, each with one or more files ... If i copied each file to its correct directory/sub-directory, would the ...

Thanks Joe! the problem was not with creating the .rpm but with trying to install it because it evidently requires libraries that have to do with systemd. Not all of us Linux users have switched or want to switch to systemd. Have a wonderful afternoon! And, thanks for answering / Wow / so fast!!! :)

Didn' t realize this was Beta. Ug. Well, got it converted from .deb to .rpm with alien but upon install it says i need a library which has to do with systemd and our OS doesn't use systemd. Sigh. Should i just go back to the 7.x version? Operating System: PCLinuxOS 2025 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4 KDE...

Wow. So happy. Never mind. Thank you for looking. i just checked the web control and it now reports that we're Folding again! Yea!!! Who knows what happened. i think when i used the Client Advanced Control and hit Pause and the waited a minute and then hit Fold that must have produced the secret sau...

Here is the log 8:39:37:WU00:FS00:Connecting to 3.135.87.77:80 18:39:38:WARNING:WU00:FS00:Failed to get assignment from '3.135.87.77:80': Empty work server assignment 18:39:38:ERROR:WU00:FS00:Exception: Could not get an assignment Should i continue to wait or...?

Well, there it is... Found fahcliente under /etc/ and renamed the config_bak.xml and the CPU usage began dropping to 50%. TOP reports only one instance of FAH running - strangely enough it reports the root instance running and not the user ??? Very weird. i'll turn it back on and let the WU complete...

Thanks, Joe_H ! i really appreciate your chiming in and trying to help. i don't know how to uninstall. i suppose one of these is located under "/" and all i need to do is to delete the folder(s). i'll try that first and report back - actually if i just rename them first to test the theory ...

We've got a Ryzen 5 with 8 cores on PCLinuxOS and the little program called gKrellm reports 95% CPU usage (as well as 81 degree C). When i use the client and stop folding, the CPU usage decreases to around 50%. So i used TOP to see what processes were running and it reports FahCore?a8 used by root. ...

Thanks for replying! You know i see that gKrellm shows all 8 cores being used at 100%. It's running at 78 C so i'm not too worried as per your comments but i am kind of weirded out because like you say, it should be just using 4 cores and it's not.

Have happy evening and please stay safe!

Dear Bob. Wow. This is like a monster response. i really appreciate all your comments. Here's a little bit of the log 14:31:46:******************************* System ******************************** 14:31:46: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega Graphics 14:31:46: CPU ID: AuthenticAMD Family 23 M...

Might as well use this same thread... i've noticed that F@H is using the 8 cores of this Ryzen 5, which is alright, but it's using the full 100%! So the temps are back up close to 80 C. The Web Client only reports Low so who knows what's happening. Is there a configuration file where we can see how ...
