OK. I updated again with reboot: *********************** Log Started 2019-09-28T13:40:50Z *********************** 13:40:50:************************* Folding@home Client ************************* 13:40:50: Website: https://foldingathome.org/ 13:40:50: Copyright: (c) 2009-2018 foldingathome.org 13:40:...

Why does the Fedora 30 system, or the FAHControl software, reset my GPU index from '0' to '-1' after any update that causes a restart? This causes my system to fail with 'Bad GPU number' or some such error. When I edit the GPU number in the slot information, the software then works. Is this a 'featu...

[UPDATE] - I had questions about my hard drive, so I copied it to a ssd and now am running on it.
Question - After doing a system update, I had to reset the cuda index to 0 to get it to run. Is this a known behaviour?

Well! The RPMFusion approach suggested by goodyca worked! After I 1) removed other software repositories for Nvidia drivers, 2) enabled the RPMFusion software repository, 3) followed the steps delineated at https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Current_GeForce.2FQuadro.2FTesla 3a) removed any conflicti...

Thanks for the RPMFusion approach. I will try it and report on the upshot of that tack (I may have questions on specific packages). If it DOES work (which is likely how I folded before my system loss) then it means that FAHClient DOESN'T need OpenCL and can use a CUDA-ONLY path.

Where (what path or set of paths) does a Linux box version of FAHClient look for the OpenCL driver?
The one I got is in /usr/lib64/libOpenCL.so but it doesn't appear to be seen/used/helpful by the F@H software.
Is there someone who can/will let me know how to get clGetDeviceIDs() to NOT return -1

Thanks for the hints. What steams me is the system that go toasted, never stated that it had OpenCL, just CUDA, and it worked fine. Grr! Oh, well, on to THIS challenge. I'll post again if/when I make progress or have my fill of frustration. While I fiddle, can/will someone let me know where FAHClien...

It looks like your insight was correct. Do you have any idea where I can find the OpenCL and where F@H looks for it (to ensure that it is properly ensconced on the system)? I found that ocl-icd-devel should have libOpenCL.so so I installed it. I get the same results. Where does FAHClient look for th...

I have an AMD Phenom II X2 545 CPU running Fedora 30 which until I had an unfortunate power loss that killed my OS was running the GTX 1050 with CUDA 10.1 and getting ~ 4.5 million points per month. Since rebuilding (from scratch) the system, I now get: 22:20:25:WU00:FS02:Connecting to 65.254.110.24...

My Dell laptop (4 core 16gb ram, 500gb ssd, no GPU) running CentOS 7.6.1810 keeps giving "WARNING:WU01:FS00:FahCore returned: FAILED_2 (1 = 0x1) " when it attempts to run an a7 core. What should I look at to find out what is wrong?

One thing that is obvious, Your client is set up in an inefficient way. It is better to have one CPU slot and fold using all 4 CPU cores on a single WU than have four slots folding on one core each. The a4 core TPF went from 10 min to 6 min when it was set to use only one core (and -1 to let the sy...

CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 The two subsequent commands seem contradictory. I did: >cd /usr/bin >./FAHCoreWrapper /var/lib/fahclient/cores/cores.foldingathome.org/Linux/AMD64/AVX/Core_a7.fah and it replied 'Started core on PID 22105' and no other response in the command window. Also, I saw no FahC...

Thank you. I will modify my box accordingly.
Sorry for posting here. I was getting the 'Waiting for Core Update' error and only searched on those words, but I rebooted in order to get the head part of the log and never got the "Waiting" report again.

Was that enough to figure it out? What else would be helpful?

Thanks.
