I'll leave a note for those who are having trouble starting FAH after updating. You should do pacman -Rs foldingathome and install again. This will create the fah-client user.

@katt it is, but are you sure this is the one that should be removed? The name of this package matches upstream.

EDIT: Yes this probably should be removed, but foldingathome should probably be named fahclient instead

@jpkotta I just took over the regular foldingathome package, it no longer runs as root as you did, making this package redundant so I'll merge it in foldingathome.

Thanks for maintaining this until now!

alucryd commented on 2020-04-17 11:37 (UTC)

Adopted and updated to not run as root. I'll make a systemd user service for those who rely on idle detection when I've got some time.

katt commented on 2020-04-17 09:15 (UTC)

Isn't this a duplicate of the foldingathome package?

@jpkotta: batch should be used if you have lots of idle tasks so they don't starve of CPU. In a "normal" desktop PC I'd say idle and batch should operate the same.

@artafinde I added the idle policies. FAH already lowers its priority with nice, but setting the scheduling policy made a small but measurable difference. The difference was much bigger with CPUSchedulingPolicy=batch, but I don't understand it well enough to say it's a good idea.

artafinde commented on 2020-04-09 13:44 (UTC)

Consider adding the below on the service

[Service]
IOSchedulingClass=3
CPUSchedulingPolicy=idle

Found the issue, I had the opencl-headers installed and I think the program was confused.

I'm getting an error for GPU folding

Apr 09 10:52:39 tiamat FAHClient[19926]: 09:52:39:ERROR:WU01:FS00:Failed to start core: OpenCL device matching slot 0 not found, try setting 'opencl-index' manually

My GPU is nvidia 1080 with proprietary drivers installed and working and the fah user is in video group. I've tried setting the opencl-index to -1 and 0 without luck. Any suggestions welcome.

You can make a systemd user service as a workaround/solution for this problem.
