That post contains my advice for installing and running FAHClient on RPM-based distros. Essentially, explicitly creating a systemd unit to override the behavior of the init.d script solves numerous client issues.

FAHClient refuses to acknowledge the OpenCL provided by ROCm. Ever since the change that prevents GPU work from being assigned when the client fails to detect OpenCL, it has been necessary to run the AMDGPU-Pro OpenCL libraries for AMD hardware.

I believe the error is because the install script expects to get a success message from OpenRC, which is not used on recent Fedora. So, even though systemd translates the init script and starts it successfully, the install script reports failure. I don't have much faith in the supplied init script t...

You could always run DOS, don't think you get much lighter than that. ;) http://www.menuetos.net/index.htm Pretty much any Linux distribution that allows a headless install (most well-known distros do) without emacs will give you a lightweight OS. Ease of use and maintenance should be your main con...

On CentOS 8, I have had consistent problems with the latest beta client failing to recognize my GPUs if there is a GPU section in the config file. If there are no GPU sections defined, it detects the GPUs properly, then writes the appropriate GPU sections to the config, which causes the client to fa...

The bogus IP address means that the Client has encountered a GPU in a state that cannot be configured. This is clearly not the only reason for the IP assignment since, like most others who have posted to this topic, I was folding on GPUs with very few issues until 2020-07-31. As mentioned in my pre...

I have been unable to get the workaround (reinstalling/reconfiguring OpenCL) to work on CentoOS 8 with AMD ROCm 3.5.1 in a configuration that previously succeeded in finishing GPU work units: *********************** Log Started 2020-08-14T00:44:34Z *********************** 2020-08-14:00:44:34:Trying ...
