I get the same card. I get no problem with openSUSE Tumbleweed + Nvidia 570

Did you use the package from FAH ?

Is your config.xml empty ? The standard way of setting FAH is no more with config.xml, but with the app "Folding@home Client".

If you choose minimal installation for only computing
then you must forbid the installation of nvidia-video-G06 and nvidia-video-G06-32bit packages.

If not at the next update NVIDIA video driver will be installed.

I use 8.4.10 because I can't create the 8.4.9 rpm, only the 8.4.10 rpm. See https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=41152&start=30 Calxalot helped me, thanks to him, then stops helping me. So I am blocked. My washing machine broke down and is not washing my clothes. I ask you the question about...

openSUSE Tumbleweed
FAH 8.4.10
NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030

I get some failures

You can adjust your thermal limits so that your CPU doesn't get so hot. Maybe even disabling turboboost is enough. Sometimes if you limit the number of threads, the CPU will turn on single-core turboboost which runs much hotter than all-core turboboost. Install the "linux-cpupower" packag...

It is necessary to use cpulimit or systemd cpuquota. If not, the temperature of the CPU is 80 °C and the fans are at their maximum speed. I experimented using cpulimit for many years and now systemd cpuquota, limiting to 20 % of the CPU power. There is no problem for folding. With openSUSE, the inte...

Thanks to : https://linuxembedded.fr/2021/11/limiter-les-ressources-dune-ligne-de-commande-avec-systemd https://www.baeldung.com/linux/systemd-modify-config First, you can use FAH settings to limit the number of used cores. For example, in my case, 8 cores, I set the limit to 5 cores, one for gpu ta...

I would prefer to use this new way using sytemd because perhaps one day cpulimit will be deprecated.

If you don't want to fold on fewer cores, then it's better to use cgroups with cpu.max instead of cpulimit. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.html I choose to combine "a fewer cores" and cpulimit. But I wait for someone to write a HOWTO for using cgroups and cpu...

Have been using cputhrottle - to keep the system under 50 C - but it tends to freeze after several days... so i looked for another solution. It seems that there is a cpulimit program, which we also have installed. When i run htop i see at least 8 processes that have "fah" in them. Does an...

If you don't want to fold on fewer cores, then it's better to use cgroups with cpu.max instead of cpulimit. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.html It is too techie for me. Can you write the statements ? How to add these statements to fah systemd service file ? Thanks

With KDE in the systray go to "energy management". You can see that currently folding@home locks screen saving and screen locking ! More : this has no effect. Wait for a lock screen then you get one. What is this weird thing ? Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250302 KDE Plasma Versi...

I can't reproduce the compilation error. It works fine here. Note that you need to apply this cbang fix on top of version 8.4.9 to be able to create the package on Tumbleweed. OK I replaced the /home/<userid>/fah/rpm/8.4.9/cbang/config/rpm/__init__.py by the one here https://github.com/CauldronDeve...
