Make sure the option to autostart the client is checked under the Preferences window.

I made a similar mistake a few days ago, it's all good.

I noticed something that may be a bug.. When I installed fahclient, the installer asked for my username, team number, and passkey.. But then when I start fahcontrol, my username/team/passkey is Anonymous/0/blank..
That happened too when I installed fah on ubuntu virtualbox..

This may work in Windows, but has nothing to do with Linux. In Linux, the fahclient is run as a service, and starts at boot automatically.
Also, the autostart box in preferences is unchecked by default, as it doesn't apply.
I've installed on several VMs, and have not had a problem getting the user name, etc. passed from the .DEB package installer to the client.
How exactly did you install fah?

My mistake. I hadn't seen the new option to not autostart that Joe added. And I can confirm it is broken. When you don't autostart, the user info isn't passed through to the config. Client starts as Anonymous on team 0. New ticket is imminent.
