Re: "GPU disabled"- let's discuss

I had a problem with GPU's disabled at one of my sites. It turned out that the firewall licensing had expired, and some kind of validation for DNS servers or DNS hosts was not passing DNS requests through. When I turned off the DNS protections to allow the DNS requests to be satisfied the GPU's at ...

Re: "GPU disabled"- let's discuss

I know Microsoft is notorious for pushing software revisions against the user's wishes, apparently Ubuntu thinks that OK too now. There's a way to deal with that, found this solution in google-search: How to disable Automatic Updates from command line Open and edit the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upg...

Re: "GPU disabled"- let's discuss

Thanks for your reply, I had been viewing the "GPU disabled" in the wrong perspective. I forgot about the background silent upgrades being a potential issue, that's an Ubuntu thing, Do you have a specific GPU you are having trouble with that is prompting you to ask about disabled GPUs? Thi...

"GPU disabled"- let's discuss

The GPU disabled situation happens to many people using Linux or Windows. Eventually it gets fixed, one way or another. Does anybody understand the FAHcontrol or client well enough to point to the "whys" and "hows"? I know that some GPUs just don't get detected, and that insertin...

Re: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS FAHcontrol installation

This is a bit of a kludge, but I have it installed on 10 Ubuntu 20.04.4 machines, and it works reliably for Nvidia, and AMD also. See: https://github.com/cdberkstresser/fah-control sudo apt-get install -y python3-stdeb python3-gi python3-all python3-six debhelper \ dh-python gir1.2-gtk-3.0 OK, than...

Re: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS FAHcontrol installation

So I just installed the Python3 version, which works on Ubuntu 20.04.4 reliably. I don't know about 22.04. I can give you my procedure if you need it. I think I cobbled it together from various sources, and I don't know a single reference to give you. (It might be a bit different from the procedure...

Re: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS FAHcontrol installation

I haven't used HFM.net for a long time, but IIRC isn't there a config feature where you point to the directory for the remote machine's client?

Re: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS FAHcontrol installation

Does anyone using the snap edition know how to monitor the client's progress from another system. The files are not where they're expected and so all FAHControl from another system does is sit there trying to connect :e?: Is there a way of adding the path to the host id/ip? On a rig I installed FAH...

Re: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS FAHcontrol installation

That is a great find :D The whole Python 2 dependencies issue with the FAHControl has been a mess for far too long. This pain-free alternative approach needs to be 'advertised' more widely so that others can benefit - it needs a link on the Folding@Home Linux download page surely?! I put the link i...

Re: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS FAHcontrol installation

Is folding@home dead on Linux now or what? I was able to install client & start folding on a Ubuntu 22.04 LTS system but I don't know how to control it without FAHControl which I used to be able to install & use up until I think 21.10 but those instructions I used don't seem to work in 22.0...

Re: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS FAHcontrol installation

So somewhere I saw starting Fahcontrol in terminal, thought I'd give it a shot since this 22.04lts install does not show the FAHclient app icon: FAHControl Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/FAHControl", line 25, in <module> from fah import FAHControl, load_fahcontrol_db Fil...

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS FAHcontrol installation

I've been running Ubuntu 20.04.4LTS for my folding machines, just built a new rig so I installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. So here we go with the Python2 issues....I found the Testing Builds for Python 3 on github, and downloaded / installed the python3-fahcontrol_7.7.0-1_all.deb package. But, no FAHcontrol...

Re: PCIE4 @ x8 mode for 2nd GPU?

The biggest issue you may have is the thermal impact ... with two gpus in case the chances are the air flow will be impacted ... one or both gpus may potentially have thermal issues - either running hot or even getting to the point of thermally throttling. Good airflow case with lots of fans and re...

You can at least monitor in-progress WUs until they finish with the web-based client: https://client.foldingathome.org/
