[tuto]7.3.6,opensuse 12.3,installation

Post by promeneur »

IN THIS ORDER

as root create in /usr/lib/
a link python2.6 -> /usr/lib/python2.7
using

cd /usr/lib
ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7 python2.6

then
as user open a text console
then
go to to the folder where fah rpm are stored (for me "cd ~/Téléchargements")
then
install the fah rpms ignoring the "python(abi) = 2.6" and "bzip2-libs" error messages because the corresponding packets are well installed by default when installing opensuse

the required password is the root password (administrator)

the root password is your user password if you made an automatically installation or the root password if you choose not using you as administrator

su -c"zypper install fahcontrol-7.3.6-1.noarch.rpm"

su -c"zypper install fahviewer-7.3.6-1.x86_64.rpm"

su -c"zypper install fahclient-7.3.6-1.x86_64.rpm"

ignore the error message about installing the fahclient as a service with checkconfig.
it's not a pb
but
using the old method (checkconfig) instead of systemdctl the daemon (service) is well installed and started during installation but not activated for starting during boot
you must with yast tool activate the fahclient daemon (service)

then
launch fahcontrol
then
go to 'identity" tab
then
as usual fill you fah user id, you fah keypass, the team member you belong to

Don't know yet if this has anything to do with the issues the routine above tries to resolve, but when I try to install on OpenSuse 12.3 using either Apper or the Suse installer, I get the following error message:

"nothing provides bzip2-libs needed by fahviewer-7.3.6-1.i686"

I might add that I'm using a 32-bit machine (though I did also download the 32-bit FAH client).

Will doing the above routine solve my problem?

No, it won't resolve that message. Fah viewer is optional and you can fold without it. Fold on while we research this.

OK, I did the linking Python 2.7 with 2.6 thing while logged in as superuser, then after a few false starts I got the other routines to work. I told it to ignore all the dependency issues. In my "start" button under applications --> science both FAHControl and FAHViewer show up. When I click on FAHViewer it runs (shows a globe). However, when I try to run FAHControl ... nothing happens. Also, if I type in fahcontrol on a terminal screen I get a "command not found" error message.

What did I miss?

first of all my tuto is for opensuse 12.3

if you plan to install fah with opensuse 13.1 things are different ;

note : this pb occured 2 years ago and is not fixed !

-first we encounter the python pb . creating the link python 2.6 -> python 2.7 has no effect
- second fahclient as service is not added to the services to start during boot
- three fahcontrol fails to launch

-first pb
as root
in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
create a link "fah -> /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/fah"

with kde use dolphin super user mode
go to /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
then
use the option "create/a standard link to a file or a folder"
fill the name with "fah"
fill the the folder path with "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/fah"

do not use the quotes

-second pb

opensuse with 13.1 switches completely to systemd boot manager
fah is compliant with the old boot manager initd
perhaps
. there is an option with command systemctl to create a service but what file to give it ?
. there is an option with systemctl to create a service
with a file defining a service and made for the old command checkconfig --add <conf file>

- third pb

see the first pb solution

i did this

linux-b4lz:/etc/rc.d # chkconfig --add FAHClient

Note: This output shows SysV services only and does not include native
systemd services. SysV configuration data might be overridden by native
systemd configuration.

FAHClient 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
linux-b4lz:/etc/rc.d #

but how to start the service FAHClient ?

in yast service manager FAHClient does not appears .

finaly FAHClient appears in service manager
then
i enabled it according to start at boot
and

that's ok

but it takes too much cpu power then i set folding power to "light" and in settings/advanced i reduced cpu usage to 50 %

What is your CPU Model or how many CPUs do you have? Please note that the CPU Usage slider will not work with the latest FahCores (FahCore_a3 and FahCore_a4) so you can leave that setting to the default of 100%.

Thanks, I think I got it working - though as I type this it looks like it's having trouble connecting to the server (late Friday night?)

Gotta get the hang of this new (to me) interface, I had been using the old console version before. This is quite a bit different.

OK I'm getting nothing but "connecting" when I run it. On the viewer for "Connection" it's perpetually saying "trying." Are the servers down this weekend, or is my 32-bit machine jinxing me?

Please note that 32-bit Linux isn't supported for folding on Nvidia GPUs yet. For CPU folding, it might work. Please post your log file so that we can see your system configuration and F@H settings which will help us in troubleshooting.
