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.

Could "opencl-amd" be added as an optional dependency? With CIK enabled to use AMDGPU (free) with my R7 260X, opencl-mesa doesn't work and my GPU always fails. After installing "opencl-amd" which uses AMDGPU Pro's OpenCL with the mesa driver, my GPU folds just fine. Using mesa 17.0.1 and linux-lqx 4.9.13-2.

Freshly installed, ran FAHClient --configure, enabled/started the service, and it fails to grab work units. I checked the IP's it's requesting against the server status page, and they weren't listed. Does this have anything to do with the FAH blog post from yesterday about certain servers being down? Can I control which IP's my FAHClient is trying to talk to?

Hi jpkotta, the file has moved to http://folding.stanford.edu/releases/public/release/fahclient/debian-testing-64bit/v7.4/fahclient_7.4.4-64bit-release.tar.bz2

opencl-mesa should be added as an optional dep for folding with AMD GPUs.

foldingathome.service should be installed to /usr/lib/systemd/system/, not /etc/systemd/system/.

In order to use the GPU client on a Nvidia card, opencl-nvidia is also required.

I've made a new version of this that creates an fah user and runs the client as that instead of root. Let me know what you think. http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=04551893227235317852

Updated to the latest version and dropped initscript support.

Adopted and updated! If anyone was using my old foldingathome-v7 package, please update to this one and copy your config.xml from the /opt/fah-v7/ folder to the /opt/fah/ folder.
