I used the configuration Menu in the advance view to enter the passkey. It says it matches and that is the only feedback I get. But afterwards no Bonus is counted. with way over 100 WUs this shouldn‘t be a problem.

Will Try the command line thing next.

EDIT: when FAHControl won‘t write the Passkey to the config file nor does the Command line only a reinstall could work I guess

Is not working, because FAHClient is not a command for Linux.

I typed in the passkey again and saved the File, this is what is shown in the log:

Immediately after saving the log does not say anything about the passkey.... It just feels like something is not working properly here.

I am tempted to write the passkey into the xml file by hand..

If you know your way around XML files, you can do it as long as FAHClient isn't running and your file is valid. This is what my section looks like:

This is your configuration with default setting:

Do you mean with "isn't running" is not folding, or is not even standing by in the back of the system. I have never found a way to shut down the whole process in Linux. But I am very new to Linux. I am finishing my WUs now and will try editing the xml file by hand.

FAHClient opens config.xml for update when it starts so you cannot change the file until FAHClient is no longer running. The WUs are processed by FAHCore* programs and they have nothing to do with the xml file, though they are controlled by FAHClient, itself.

You either have to edit the config.xml using FAHControl which processes it live or you have to kill FAHClient so you can edit it manually. By far, using FAHControl is the easiest and safest because you can't make a syntax error.

Unfortunately it is not working using FAHControl… thats the reason I was looking for an alternative.

All fingers crossed, it looks like it is working. 600k+PPD now.

Thanks everyone in advance for your Help and support.
