I'm trying to set up F@H alongside the Debian PC it's installed on, so it only folds during daylight hours to avoid disturbing sleep with its fan noise. After some investigation, I learned that adjusting the crontab file is the most effective method to pause or resume the client before the system enters suspension or wakes up again. Before making changes, I wanted to verify if the instructions I found actually functioned, but unfortunately they didn't (referenced photo). What could I have misinterpreted? A quick reminder: F@H was active during my testing.
The information suggests checking the correct path for the command. You may need to use sudo with the appropriate directory to find the right F@H client script. The official site indicates a separate stop command, possibly requiring two cron jobs for proper setup.
Are the files missing from the current folder? Navigate to ./etc/init.d/ and check the directory listing to see how the client was installed. Did you follow the setup guide on their website?
I opted for a snap package since the guide's files were old, causing missing dependencies. The updated files didn’t appear in the Terminal. It looks like there’s no directory present.
It didn't function properly. The items are just leftover pieces from many attempts that ended in failure.
My Kubuntu configuration process to get it operational on my machine. I download the client application: fahclient_7.6.21_amd64.deb. Acquire the unofficial Python3 control software from Github. On the repository page, you'll find dependencies needed for installation, though they're stored in the repositories. Begin by installing the client, then proceed with the control. This should get things running, but I've noted a few adjustments I made after testing on one system. These steps aren't essential for others, this is related to personal troubles I'm facing. #start and stop folding at home sudo systemctl stop FAHClient sudo systemctl start FAHClient #edit folding at home config file sudo nano /etc/fahclient/config.xml #FAH log files and core location /var/lib/fahclient #when the GPU can't locate the OpenCL library in the directory: cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu sudo ln -s libOpenCL.so.1 libOpenCL.so #ensure there aren't too many FAHClients competing at once (a problem I encountered on one machine after reboot) ps -e | grep FAHClient #if numerous instances are active, terminate them all and launch one manually. sudo killall FAHClient #with the control software running on multiple machines they operate consistently. I hope this assists.
