I'm currently running version 4.00 of F@H since portage hasn't upgraded to 5.02 yet. But I have a couple questions.
When I "rc-update add foldingathome default", what actually gets run? foldingathome or folding.sh?
I noticed that my log does get updated, along with FAHlog.txt, but not everything gets printed to these logs. For example
| Code: | [13:04:46] - Ask before connecting: No

will be printed in the FAHlog.txt file, but

won't be printed.
If I have F@H initialized at boot-up, how can I take a peek at what percentage of folding on the current WU is done? |

| Right, but what I'm saying is that if I have foldingathome start at boot-up by saying rc-update add foldingathome default, unitinfo.txt doesn't get updated, log and FAHlog.txt dont get updated either. But if I run ./foldingathome from /opt/foldingathome/ in a console on the desktop, all the logs work correctly. |

| Hmm weird. I've never used the ebuild, I've always just grabbed the binary from the stanford site. I'll try the ebuild and see what happens. |

Make sure all the files in the /opt/foldingathome directory (and subdirectories) are owned by the foldingathome user.
If you first start the program as root, all the logs will be owned by root, and then can't be written to by the foldingathome user when you start it in the /etc/init.d script. |

Well, there certianly is little value to many people for some of the distributed computing projects, but the value of folding@home is to furthur the science which helps develop cures for medical problems. Some people will try to turn it into a political issue saying that x company will just end up reaping the benefits of our computing cycles - but I think that we're better off having a cure that we have to pay for then having no cure at all.
And as a side note, I have switched most of my computers from the GLUE team to the Linux team. |

There is a problem with version 5 though. It puts spaces in the client.cfg file causing the username to be wrong and the team to submitted as default (0). I would submit a bug but I don't have my bugzilla password yet.
So, for now, I changed the client.cfg manually and just run the program. If you use /etc/init.d/foldingathome start, it copies over (or something) and puts the spaces back in.
BTW, the version 4 ebuild didn't do this. |

According to the stats at extremeoverclocking.com, the team will be moving up 4 slots (#76 to #72) within the next two months.. Keep folding away!
Update: Since I posted this two days ago, our team is now in position #74 (and soon to surpass Apple Computer Inc.) |

Could you post your correct client.cfg, I would like to make sure that mine is correct.
Thanks!

Is anyone else finding that their production is noticably decreased with V5 of the FAH client?
(and no, this is not due to the client.cfg as noted above) |

|
|
i've been running f@h on my powerbook under os x for a while now. recently, i got gentoo set up on my 'book, and i'd like to make it my primary OS, but there doesnt seem to be a f@h client for the ppc arch. i tried emerging foldingathome with | Code: |
ACCEPT_KEYWORD="~ppc" emerge foldingathome
|
it emerged fine, but a) i can't run the init file and b) i can't run the binary client. when i try to run the init file, here's what i get:
| Code: | foldingathome # ./initfolding
sh: line 1: /opt/foldingathome/client1/foldingathome: cannot execute binary fileTraceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/foldingathome/initfolding", line 13, in ?
clientfile = open("/opt/foldingathome/client%d/client.cfg" % (i), "r")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/foldingathome/client1/client.cfg'
|
has anybody been able to get folding to work for ppc, or know of a way around this? thanks a bunch![/code] |

You just can't have any spaces between the equal signs. Here is mine anyway:
[http]
active=no
host=localhost
port=8080
[settings]
username=_ryecoaaron
asknet=no
machineid=1
team=3074
local=8 |

Thanks,
I think I've corrected mine now.
Has anybody filed a bug report? Maybe I'll actually have to sign up for bugzilla and file one myself.

| The problem is that it puts those spaces in, even after you change it. I tried chowning client.cfg to root, but it just gave me errors and wouldn't run until I changed it back. |

I had the same problem so I just run ./foldingathome from xterm. It doesn't change the config then. I didn't spend much time on it but it has something to with the /etc/init.d/foldingathome script.
I was going to file a bug but I didn't get my bugzilla password yet. Maybe I will have to try again. |

| Its that line that says copy_client_config. Thats the error it give if you chown client.cfg to root. Actually, looking at copy_client_config, I don't see anywhere where spaces would be introduced. |

I noticed that too. It must have something to do with how Python writes the config file. Not sure though.
I may be wrong but if you remove this line from /etc/init.d/foldingathome:
su foldingathome -c /opt/foldingathome/copy_client_config
it may work. All that file seems to do is make sure you have a config file, checks a couple of settings, and copies the config if start more than one folding thread. |

| Can someone just post their etc/init.d/foldingathome and client.cfg files from 4.0? Maybe we can spot a difference between them and 5.02 |

I ran 4.0 before upgrading to 5.0. It isn't setup for multiple instances so it doesn't have the problem. The config looks the same but without the spaces.
But anyway, I just installed 5.0 on my laptop and removed the copy_client_config line. It works great! Just run the following:
1. cd /opt/foldingathome
2. ./init_folding
3. /etc/init.d/foldingathome start
If you want to run multiple instances, just copy your client.cfg to each of the client directorys. It starts and stops perfect without the line and doesn't bother the config file. |

I just started this project (my first one after doing Seti for a day; discovered this one by accident and I am VERY happy i did)
yes, taking out the line
su foldingathome -c /opt/foldingathome/copy_client_config
will keep it from writing your cfg file. although you also don't have the benefits of being able to use any features in that file (but until they figure out the parsing problem its useless anyway).
just wanted to say that I'll be folding away on the Gentoo team now and good luck to all!
i'm so happy i found this project - makes me happy to know i'm contributing to a VERY GOOD cause. (my dad has parkinsons and my grandmother died with alzheimer's... so yeah... nice to know I can possibly help my dad at least. his doctor said the only think keeping them from a cure is FUNDING... thats so sad....)
aight check u all later
