Headless Ubuntu Client won't continue without restarting service

[Knutowskie]

So i set up a headless Ubuntu client. It folds on 3 of 4 CPUs so far. After finishing a WU it sometimes "gets stuck" and does: nothing.

When i notice, i logon to the machine and restart the fah-client service. Then it continues as normal.

How can one avoid that?

I mean, i could write a script, that is checking the WU folder and if empty for several minutes, restart the service. But i guess this behaviour is something like a bug.

Logs are clean in the webinterface. Are there any logs on the machine that would help?

Run the command "fahctl state" when it is stuck and post the output here (if you set a passkey, remember to censor it).

Missing python3-websocket library

Nice. So the installer didn't install all needed libs

[arisu]

Seems like it's a missing dependency. I have a small list of bugs that I'm going to report once I make a GitHub account, I'll add that to it.

Just install that package and fahctl should work.
