Folding Forum

Bob, Thanks for the honest viewpoint. I appreciate your thoughts. Well, I agree that my issue is not one of the "most cases" problem. Reverting back to v7 for most of my machines has been a plan "C" thought for many weeks now. I think I'll leave one machine on v8 and wait for an ...

I have been tinkering with this for two weeks (on and off) and have discovered the following: If I install the OS with the Nvidia card inserted the install will include the Nouveau driver. Install the distro repo Nvidia driver, OpenCL, and CUDA the Nouveau driver is black listed and Nvidia drivers t...

A question for toTOW: Pascal are already announced as "feature complete" and will no longer get new features. Who "already announced as "feature complete", Nvidia or FAH? So they are very likely next in the list of unsupported hardware Where can I find this "list of uns...

A followup on my issue. On my Debian (12) client I removed the standard FAH v8.4.9 package and installed the "debug" v8.4.9 listed on the download page. Over at v8-4.foldingathome.org/machines I see that the client I am diagnosing now reports the cpu folding a unit AND a second 'Project' t...

Having slept on my issue and having read everyone's answers (thank you, btw) I realized I had forgotten that my main desktop (that has the P620 card that IS folding) is a different OS than all my others. So, I thought the problem could be the video drivers difference between Arch Linux OS and Debian...

I have been searching and cannot locate an accurate list of supported video cards. With v7.6.21 I had several Nvidia Quadro K620 folding but, this model now lists as "unsupported" with v8. I researched and as I have a Quadro P620 that IS supported with v8 working. So, I bought a Quadro P40...

Thank you Calxalot for catching that initial typo! If you hadn't caught that error I would have been "forever" discovering it on my own. :oops: And of course thank you for the link to the forum post regarding config.xml on headless. IMHO, I would suggest that some admin should add a link (...

I have begun the shift from v7 to v8. I've gotten my main desktop to run FAH v8.4 running in the background. Now, the headless machines are a whole different story. The https://foldingathome.org/guides/v8-4-client-guide/ says in the section Manually Connecting Machines "Then pass the account to...

The various links are greatly appreciated.

This type of information is difficult to search when your a novice like I am.

Thank you.

Yes, fair enough. I like this idea of adding the discussed 'feedback' feature. I appreciate the logic of this which I could see included on F@H v8. Regarding " People with recent GPUs can have a skewed sense of things. " I understand their position but, I am spending about $25 per card com...

I have been folding for many years. Until recently, folding was processed by CPUs only. If you think you need to categorize me as an "aspirational folder" then I am a proud member. Until I moved across the country in October of 2022 I had several computers inspirationally folding proteins ...

This seems very odd to me. My log output (I added the "LOOK!!!" and arrows to draw attention to the log line): 12:39:35:******************************* libFAH ******************************** 12:39:35: Date: Oct 20 2020 12:39:35: Time: 20:36:39 12:39:35: Revision: 5ca109d295a6245e2a2f590b3...

Quickly resolved. Thank you. While I was given this card from a relative I am not out any cash$$. So, into the electronic trash bin it goes. Question is am I rough with it or gentle . . . slam dunk sounds really good! BAM!

I have a newer computer that I am re-building that has a Nvidia GTX460 graphic card. The CPU is folding properly. The log file shows: 12:45:01:WARNING:FS01:No CUDA or OpenCL 1.2+ support detected for GPU slot 01: gpu:-1:-1. Disabling. 12:45:01:Adding folding slot 01: gpu:-1:-1 The command "nvid...

I am not a Linux expert either. I am simply making a warning statement Linux users are use to seeing/hearing. Be careful with the use of 'root'.

Now, with the exception of minor grammatical edits I consider this matter closed.

Thanks.
