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.

+1 what @xuanruiqi says.

pwr22 commented on 2020-03-14 12:04 (UTC)

I also agree - it would be great to make this more available!

I agree with xuanruiqi. This package needs to be updated...

xuanruiqi commented on 2020-03-13 21:48 (UTC)

Given the current COVID-19 situation, I believe that effort should be made for this package to be moved into [community] ASAP, to make it much easier for Arch users to help with the effort to develop a medicine for the virus. This will be the right thing to do, IMO.

Can you add provides=('foldinghome') to the PKGBUILD and remove the replaces part? It is an alternative to the other methods of installing FAH, not a replacement or successor.

There is a software conflict between foldingathome and the opencl-amd program. When it is installed, the program no longer works.

You may need to add vsyscall=emulate to your kernel commandline if you get segfaults and messages like vsyscall attempted with vsyscall=none. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=234707.

I have an older install of Arch without the Cuda package, and NVidia GPU folding works fine. However on a new Arch install, it wouldn't work without it. Anyone know what might be going on?

Along the same lines as Skeevy420's request, I think the cuda package for nvidia should be an optional dependency: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/cuda/ My nvidia GPU errored out until I installed this package.
