If you are running on Linux, you can optionally purge v7 after installing v8.

Only a few settings will be picked up.
Mainly user, team, passkey, cause.

WUs will not transfer. Please set slots to finish and then manually pause before upgrading.

You do not need to uninstall.

That script that patches the plist is only needed for v7.

The launchctl unload/load does a stop/start.

This might be the network not ready when client launches bug. https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-client-bastet/issues/223 There have been DNS improvements in alpha v8.3.7. It works fine on Mac. May be broken on Windows/Linux. https://foldingathome.org/alpha/ Please try it and let us know how it go...

My Macs disconnect for about 2.5 minutes at zero hours. But they always seem to reconnect on their own.

Does it connect if you restart the windows client?

This sounds like the node disconnect at 0:00 UTC bug.

Not currently, but I wrote a python utility.

I would recommend you do not purge v8, unless you are quitting fah on that machine.

I believe some files are leftover from both v7 and v8 unless you use the purge option uninstalling, which also deletes all your old config and data.

I believe you normally install v8 over v7. Then you optionally purge v7.

Marcos knows everything. He rewrote the Linux installers for v8.

What version of Ubuntu? Have you tried systemctl commands? I believe if the service was disabled somehow, the installer will not re-enable. systemctl status --no-pager -l fah-client sudo systemctl enable fah-client sudo systemctl start fah-client Some other commands: sudo systemctl stop fah-client s...

I would guess that your athlon x2 is also too slow to meet deadlines.

That shows the client being stopped before the WU was even finished.

What happens if you deselect the "beta" option?

I wouldn’t think so.
The code using runtime looks generic, not specific to WU or core type.

I believe unit runtime is zero until a WU has been successfully completed for that project number.

Some limited history data is stored in client.db, which is used when estimating ppd and eta.
