Don't take this the wrong way, but how do you expect us to help you? You are using fahclient version which is still not available to public. You also made a screenshot of the list of failed WUs, which doesn't even have full WU details on them.
Imagine this:
My washing machine broke down and is not washing my clothes. I ask you the question about why my washing machine does not wash my clothes by only giving you a picture of my dirty clothes. Would you be able to help me with my problem?

I use 8.4.10 because I can't create the 8.4.9 rpm, only the 8.4.10 rpm.

Calxalot helped me, thanks to him, then stops helping me. So I am blocked.

A washing machine troubleshooter would try to define the problem by asking me questions.

I am not a techie person about FAH. I am not a developer. Furthermore, I can only make a diagnosis at my level, not a technical one.

Don't take this the wrong way, but in the future, please avoid interfering with my requests for help.

If you can't create the rpm, you can take a .deb file and manually extract the binaries you need. There aren't many of them. It would be easier than compiling 8.4.10 yourself and you wouldn't have to worry about problems unique to the client you are using (although I doubt that is what this is).

But anyhow you have to post the logs for the failed WUs. That's the only way anyone can help diagnose the issue. All the client does is download the data files and start up the cores. The cores are what usually have problems because they are what are doing the complex molecular simulations, and fah-client is nothing more than a glorified wrapper with internet connectivity and a UI. The problem (almost certainly) lies with the cores.

And muziqaz is not interfering with your requests for help, he's just saying in a blunt way that you haven't given enough information for anyone to find out what the problem is. Once you copy the relevant parts of the log, then he and others will be able to help you.

The point of my post was: learn to ask the questions in a detailed manner. You have unlimited character count to write a fully detailed question here. No one will hurry you up to do so, no one will look over your shoulder. You just sit down, relax think what the problem is and just produce as much information about your system as possible including the logs (this is not your first question in this forum, so I assume you know what the logs are and how to access them). Since you are asking the question it is very rude to expect us to start asking all the basic questions to get the info from you. It is just a basic forum unwritten rules. You go to any forum on internet, they are the same: provide as much info about the problem as possible, and not just: My stuff is not working, help

I have never seen this page before, but it amazes me how similar it is to things I have learned through my few decades on various internet forums :biggrin:
