Re: Creating bootable, headless Linux FAH LiveUSB

I messed around a little with this, and got something that set up an SSH server using a script in /etc/rc.local. I set it up with persistent storage, which works fine. It wasn't terribly slow, but not terribly fast, really. As I had it, it would only work with Ethernet as I had not bothered to make ...

Re: Odd GPU behavior - terminal window + FAHClient

In FAHControl use the Configure button, select the Expert tab. Under Extra client options add the option gpu and set the value to true. Then okay and save your way out. You may have to restart the FAHClient process, easiest way can be by rebooting. To restart the FAHClient easily, you can do: sudo ...

Re: Odd GPU behavior - terminal window + FAHClient

There are some oddities with the way the service helper is setup. The newer SystemD services are different than the old init.d setup. But it certainly works on my system with 20.10 Xubuntu. I don't quite remember the details of how i got it working. This page https://github.com/cdberkstresser/fah-c...

Re: Bad WU 17314 (0, 1503, 91), plus no updated credits

I've had all of my points added (I think it's all of them anyways...the number seems right), and I had not one but two updates. So things seem better now, I suppose.

Re: Why are you folding?

I fold for a few reasons. The first is that my contributions help fight some very nasty diseases in an objective way. I have a lot of cancer in the family, although my main concern is to find ways to fight coronaviruses and for humanity to have something on hand to help people infected, especially i...

Re: FAHControl Won't Install On Linux Lite 5.2

I tried it and I get the FAH Control window I do have to leave the terminal open since it is a terminal command to launch it. Thanks for the help. Hi, sorry, I didn't answer before because I usually prefer to keep the terminal open (it shows connection error messages in the terminal and I find that...

Re: FAHControl Won't Install On Linux Lite 5.2

Linux lite is a stripped down version of Ubuntu, It's entirely possible some of the dependencies FAH uses, aren't installed. It's to be expected, since FAH is made to run on Redhat, or Debian (which most of the Ubuntu dependencies are identical to, so Ubuntu works as well). Unless you have a single...

Re: FAHControl Won't Install On Linux Lite 5.2

Hi, I had a lot of trouble getting Python 2.7 installed and working since support has been removed, but this thread discusses a python3 version of FAHControl being developed, and it works fine for me in Linux Lite, Linux Mint, and newer versions of Ubuntu that all have support for Python 2.7 removed...

Re: Creating bootable, headless Linux FAH LiveUSB

stevennic, thanks, I checked it out. It looks like your method uses Rufus to partition the flashdrive; I can't really use that at the moment because I don't have Windows, but I'll try to adapt that part, and the rest of your tutorial to my situation here. There's some great information there. For a ...

Creating bootable, headless Linux FAH LiveUSB

I tried doing this, installing a minimal Debian install to a LiveUSB with OpenSSH installed as well, then making it log in automatically on boot through some configuration file changes, getting rid of the xserver and running CLI-only, et cetra. I also did it with Linux Lite,which is sort of similar ...

Re: Start folding with a Raspberry Pi

On Raspberry PI 4 with 8GB, PPD right now is 593. Do you have a passkey set ? A RPi 4 should be in the 2500-3000 PPD range from those I've seen running ... Nope, I didn't have a passkey set. (I did not realize that bonus points were a part of the PPD calculation; I've got a passkey on my Pi 4 now)

Re: Start folding with a Raspberry Pi

On Raspberry PI 4 with 8GB, PPD right now is 593. I seem to remember that it was higher than that, however, closer to 800-900 before. I don't have a Pi 3 so I can't comment on that. Edit: As for power consumption, don't know. If the Raspberry Pi has a way of tracking that in RPOS I'll look into it l...

Re: Start folding with a Raspberry Pi

I have found that my Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB consistently and reliably does WUs on time. I did have to restart it for some reason after a couple weeks, but it's been OK since then. I know I said I have the 8GB version but I think 4GB should be enough, maybe even 2GB? It's cool that the Pi 3 is works...

Re: Folding on Android with UserLAnd and the new Linux ARM b

I contacted the email given for UserLAnd support asking for what would be the minimum hardware requirements, but they have not gotten back to me yet. The minimum version of Android stated on the Google Play store is 5.0.
