FAH 8.4.9 Installed, not folding

[trleith]

Hi. I got a new machine and am reinstalling fah-client_8.4.9

I can see it at https://v8-4.foldingathome.org/machines
It knows the new hostname, shows one machine, but no CPUs and no GPUs

What should I look for?

It's running

Code: Select all

trl@homeserver:~$ systemctl status fah-client.service

Click the settings icon. It gives you an option to select the GPU and to choose how many CPUs you want to use. Once you make your selections, press fold. It should start up.

[muziqaz]

It does not auto fold after installation you need to manually start folding.

[trleith]

I tried clicking the settings icon. I get this

[muziqaz]

Can you take a screenshot of your system info section withing the client web page?

[trleith]

Thanks for writing back.

> Can you take a screenshot of your system info section withing the client web page?

I don't think there is one or maybe we're not talking about using "https://v8-4.foldingathome.org/machines" but rather something like http://192.168.0.6:10000"

Is there something I can snag from a command line on the machine instead? A log file or something?

[muziqaz]

In your main fah page, there is icon which has letter "i" in the circle. Click on that, take a screenshot.
You will never need to use any other URLs other than v8-4.foldingathome.org (maybe in the future it will change once client gets an update or something)
