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.

For whatever reason, one of the commands in the installed systemd service (ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/mkdir -p %h/.local/share/fahclient) wasn't working, so I had to create that directory manually in order to get the service to work. Might be worth adding to the PKGBUILD.

I had hard time getting my NVidia GTX 1060 to work with OpenCL and/or Cuda. I kept getting OpenCL init error 999 and Cuda init error 1001. I think the final straw was adding user "fah" to group "video" and restarting the service...

There's a foldingathome in Community now: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/foldingathome/. It uses basically the same systemd unit file that this package does, which is what enables running as a non-root user. I recommend you install that instead of this package. However, you're expected to hand edit the config.xml instead of using a script. That file is only quasi-human-writable, so I might just convert the fah-config script to its own package.

Anyone know why it would be failing to detect my AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT card for OpenCL? It shows in FAHControl a "Not detected: clGetDeviceIDs() returned -1". I have the opencl-amd package installed and the card shows up in clinfo (and vapoursynth plugins have been able to use it.)
