Folding Forum

Hi all,
two quick quesitons;

1. Is the 744 32bit debian, the last released 32bit avaialble for ubuntu?
2. If so... are there any suggested tweaks, other than the cpu=#, that might get it to pickup projects?
It's not the world's fastest machine, but we've gotten into a bit of a fun "how many machines can you get it running on" competition here, and this ol' dual Xeon server is the last one to try...

I left it running overnight, and it retries every few mins, but doesn't get anyWUs.

Thanks!

Please note that 32-bit *unix system's aren't supported for folding.

If possible, can you upgrade to 64-bit?

The latest version is 7.6.8 which was released about 7 hours ago: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=34429

<LOL>
THis time yesterday... I could swear there was a 32bit section on the supported clients page.
My timing stinks.

The processors don't even have 64bit instruction set, it's a 32bit ubuntu that I got running on it. v18.

The 32-bit versions for FAHControl and FAHViewer were available. However, they wouldn't be used for folding. FAHControl would be used to control FAHClient and FAHViewer is used to view the protein simulation. Thus, it wouldn't help you

AFAIK, majority of AMD/Intel CPUs over the last ~10 years have 64-bit support. Out of curiosity, can you post the CPU model number?

Xeon F29... a pair of them.

While I have you - may I ask.
Is there a reason on my Linux configured clients, where the config.xml clearly has the name, team, and key in there... the fold-anon is still set to true?
(I have manually been changing it to false - but maybe it's assumed when there is a name?)

thanks!

Good Grief … Those are the old Xeon 2.4s from early 2000s

Nostalgia baby!
(i told you it was a challenge) hehehe

To use my daughter's logic … "You have two 32bit CPUs - why not just get them to work next to each other and then you'll have 64bits"

Exactly!
Why can't they all just get along!!

Let's not even get into the electricity it took to power that monster up and down.
Time for electronic scrap... it's probably worth $50!

Oh... I looked up the specs and this was the first time I came across a non-64-bit CPU: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en ... z-fsb.html

Unless I am mistaken, when the first time you install the client, if you don't set the username/passkey/team in the first 5 minutes or when the Web Control/FAHControl opens for the first time (IIRC), then the client will automatically assume that you have decided to fold anonymously. Can you please post the first ~100 lines of your log so that we can see what's happening and help you out

On my systems, once the user, team and passkey have been set, the fold-anon does go away at some point. It is no longer in the config.xml file after that.
