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.

Yet another problem is in f@h itself: There are "cause preferences" in the control app, but coronavirus is not one of them!

+1 what @xuanruiqi said "Mother" Nature needs yet another big punch right in her face!

That also does the trick! Thanks for the quick response.

@direc85

What does ls -l /dev/nvidia* show? If possible, reboot and run the ls command both before and after running that mknod script from nvidia.

@robinc @gourdcaptain

Can you try SupplementaryGroups=video instead? That seems more correct. I don't have fancy GPU hardware so I can't test this.

@gourdcaptain This seems to be a permissions problem. Adding Group=video to the service file solved this for me (AMD Vega 56). This is what my foldingathome.service looks like now:

[Unit]
Description=Folding@home distributed computing client
After=network.target

[Service]
DynamicUser=yes
Type=simple
User=fah
Group=video
StateDirectory=fah
WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/fah
ExecStart=/opt/fah/FAHClient

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

@jpkotta Could you please update the package to include this fix?

@jpkotta It looks like foldingathome community package has been removed.

No, it isn't the 'video' group. Today I ran a script from NVIDIA CUDA Installation Guide for Linux and it seemed to have worked...
