buzzkillb Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 If a cpu or gpu appears stuck and can't do new work. Try going to FAHControl and click Pause then Fold.  On headless I just did below command to get new work units after CPU had issues getting more work. sudo /etc/init.d/FAHClient restart  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzkillb Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 To remote control the linux headless using FAHControl on Windows for instance. Edit config.xml on your headless server to include the password line. <!-- Remote Command Server --> <password v='password'/> example config.xml, replace passkey with your generated passkey for bonus points and make up a password for password. <config> <!-- Client Control --> <fold-anon v='true'/> <!-- Folding Slot Configuration --> <gpu v='false'/> <!-- HTTP Server --> <allow v='127.0.0.1,192.168.1.0/24'/> <!-- Remote Command Server --> <password v='password'/> <!-- Slot Control --> <power v='FULL'/> <!-- User Information --> <passkey v='passkey'/> <team v='246218'/> <user v='buzzkillb'/> <!-- Web Server --> <web-allow v='127.0.0.1,192.168.1.0/24'/> <!-- Folding Slots --> <slot id='0' type='CPU'/> </config> Restart the headless client sudo /etc/init.d/FAHClient restart Then in Windows go to FAHControl and add your server. Click Add in bottom left, then give your server a Name, use the IP address of the server, and the password you made up in the above file. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzkillb Posted March 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 A better way to force finding new work. Go into FAHControl and go to the Status tab of your machine that doesn't have work. Under Folding Slots, right click the slot with no work. Click On Idle wait about 5 seconds, and then click On Idle again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzkillb Posted March 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Getting multi nvidia GPU to work on Ubuntu headless is interesting. I am running on Ubuntu 19.10 Server headless with a mix of 1080 and 1070's. install nvidia drivers sudo apt install ubuntu-drivers-common ubuntu-drivers devices sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall install opencl drivers sudo apt update sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev reboot sudo reboot now install folding at home from the deb. What I then did from FAHControl was remove all the slots and save. If it worked you will see this in the System Info tab, if not try rebooting again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
