Fah-client arm64 8.4 not function on Sbc

Post by nada391 »

Hello ,

tested this version

https://download.foldingathome.org/rele ... _arm64.deb

on a sbc Pine A64+
but it would not function;

installing the versin fah-client 8.2 would only function it seems, but the the SBC seems not doing anything with the fah-client.

(armbian is running headless)

Code: Select all

systemctl status --no-pager -l fah-client
● fah-client.service - Folding@home Client
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/fah-client.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Sun 2025-03-09 22:26:09 CET; 23s ago
   Main PID: 271272 (fah-client)
      Tasks: 1 (limit: 2132)
     Memory: 4.5M
        CPU: 202ms
     CGroup: /system.slice/fah-client.service
             └─271272 /usr/bin/fah-client --log=/var/log/fah-client/log.txt --log-rotate-dir=/var/log/fah-client/

mar 09 22:26:09 pine64 systemd[1]: Started fah-client.service - Folding@home Client.

pine64:~$ fah-client --version
8.2

the error for 8.4 would be like this

Code: Select all

systemctl status --no-pager -l fah-client

i have also attempted to link this sbc to the web-folding@home-client,

please check if the syntax correct, it would not show up (maybe because i am using the 8.2 version?)

Code: Select all

<config/>
<account-token v=“rH9AKrH8niy3oniyEWHWMEWHfGMIjfGMOcmouOcmq7c”/>
  <machine-name v="PineA64+"/>
</config>

First line of config should be
<config>

You should try manually launching the client from command line to see more errors.

I don’t know if that “+” is allowed in machine name.
