A couple of more ideas regarding the problem with Folding@Home forgetting progress after a reboot. I would first check to see that you can stop and start the FAHClient during normal operation and see if it picks up where it left off. In v7, FAHClient is simply a service that is started from the /etc...

Welcome to the forum bikefreak. Sorry about the slow response, but I have been away for awhile. If I understand it correctly, the FAHClient saves a checkpoint about every five minutes in the Work directory. You should see a .cpt and a prev.cpt file in there. When you power down or reboot, the Client...

2M Folding@Home Points

Team Puppy hit 2M Folding@Home points today.

Team ranking is now above 1.5%. If you would like to contribute to the effort, use Team ID 157623 when folding. See links in my first post of this thread for team stats.

Installing FAH v7 client in FatDog_521

I used the following steps to install version 7 of the FAH CPU client on Fatdog-521 today. There is no linux version of a GPU client, so I would still recommend using v6 of the Windows GPU client with wine (as detailed in my previous post) ... it will run concurrently with this version 7 CPU client ...

xorg problems?

Since you are getting to a command prompt ... it sounds like it might be a problem with Xorg. With Nouveau kernel modules you might have to boot with the nomodeset parameter. Are you able to run xorgwizard from the command line to re-probe for your display driver? Or maybe set it up with vesa as you...

It isn't clear from your post exactly where you are getting stuck. It appears that you have done a full install and have successfully installed grub4dos. So it sounds like it enters setup, you can make your selection and then ... at what point does it lock up? Does it show anything while it is booti...

Setting up for GPU Folding with Wine

I acquired an old Asus en9600gt Silent graphics card and decided to install it in the PC I was using for SMP Folding with FatDog-521. This is the procedure I used in case anyone else is interested in doing GPU folding with FatDog. Note that the SMP client runs in linux, but the GPU client must be ru...

First FAH Work Unit

Just set up an old computer (Pentium D) with FAH SMP and I'm about 50% through my very first Work Unit. (I used Team Puppy Linux - User Sunny). Frugal install of FatDog-521 on a USB Stick. That fired right up and is running very stable on my machine -- nice job on that distribution guys. I've been u...

"I have a dell latitude c400 with an i830 graphic card." I believe this is a i830M chipset. That should be supported by the "intel" driver: http://alcor.concordia.ca/manpages/sys4/intel.4.html If zippytex has specified "i915" as his video device driver in xorg.conf, the...

Does the "intel" driver support the suspend mode for the i830? It's not clear that it does looking at the bottom of the table on this link: http://www.x.org/wiki/IntelGraphicsDriver?highlight=%28i830%29 Were you able to use acpitool -s in Slacko (or any other linux distribution) for your m...

Booting DG33FB MB with Puppy 5.1.1 CD

When booting the Puppy 5.1.1 & 5.2.8 CD with an Intel DG33FB MB the system simply locks up with a blank screen before entering the X window. (Note that I am using a core2duo processor and AHCI for the disk interface.) In order to boot from the CD, I had to use acpi=off as a kernel boot parameter...
