Re: Help with scripting a pause/resume toggle in Ubuntu

Just depends on what you are looking for. The example I gave you is pretty reliable. Dealing with finishing slots, not so much. If you ever have problems with slots that quit folding you ought to have a look at my script. It executes reboots and client restarts as necessary when a folding slot gets ...

Re: Help with scripting a pause/resume toggle in Ubuntu

I've been writing scripts for folding for a year and I've never found anything to indicate status. You can grep in the log.txt file but that can be tricky. I do that some in my reboot.sh script that I link to in my signature. if [[ $(grep $FS $logFileToRead|tail -1 |grep -c "Paused") == 1 ]]

Re: Help with scripting a pause/resume toggle in Ubuntu

Personally I'd set it to run on idle instead of pause since I am confident that at some point I'd forget to set it back to fold and not notice till the next day. On Linux I'd use this, setting a flag in my home directory to indicate the status: if [ -e $HOME/idleflag ] ; then FAHClient --send-comman...

Re: Folding on Threadripper

bruce, There is a utility that sort of runs HFM on linux: mono. I was able to get it to run for a while but certain results were wildly inaccurate and then eventually something changed and it wouldn't run at all. It had something to do with date formatting but I didn't make a note of the exact error...

Re: Folding on Threadripper

If you want to direct message me your specific problem(s) I'll take a stab. I've been folding on Linux Mint for a couple of years now and for the most part kept notes on the issues I had to work through. (DarthMouse on Discord) Personally I'd advise against NACL as I see a lot of problems with it di...

Re: nothing works

Have you reinstalled the nvidia driver since the last windows update? Windows updates are known for breaking folding. That's one thing I don't have to deal with on Linux.

I occasionally get those but much more when I overclock. I no longer overclock due to various reliability issues.

Re: Twin GPU's

Seems like a lot of extra work. I never reinstall to change my GPU lineup. I just change/add slots in configure/slots. I do have to manually set gpu indexes and opencl indexes. Starting with 0 for the first gpu ind incrementing 1 for each additional gpu. Leaving it as the default -1 never works for ...

Re: GPU stats not showing up but CPU are???

On Linux fah saves old logs in the sub folder "logs" of the folder holding logs.txt /var/lib/fahclient/logs. I can't comment on windows.

Re: RTX cores for folding@home

Currently the exchange rates are so bad that the coin payout doesn't even pay for the electricity used in folding, or maybe just barely and it's just getting worse.
