Error folding on GPU [OpenSUSE]

FAH provides a V7 client installer for Debian / Mint / Ubuntu / RedHat / CentOS / Fedora. Installation on other distros may or may not be easy but if you can offer help to others, they would appreciate it.

Yay!

If the system log is full of noise, you might also want
StandardOutput=null

Nice. Could you post the final service file here? Thanks.

I installed the service like you described, but I'm still not able to to GPU folding.
Client always tries to start, but fails eventually. I'm on 367.57 with compute package installed.

When it's "trying to start" are there messages going to FAH's log? ... to the console? ... etc. that you can post?

What directory is currently open when the service starts?

No, that was my mistake. It works now with video, thanks.
In the meantime I had been able to get it to work with root user, but that was of course an ugly solution.
