Thanks squirt. Looks like Black_Mage should hit a billion points within a day or so. Did he/she ever join or otherwise come over here?

GeekGirl1

Thanks! I'm not on discord.

You can also follow the stats here:

This is the one I always used through DSLReports.

Let's see if Don makes it here. The Helix Milestones are still being created at my server. For today they are:

I don't know if Don has made it to this site, but he does show up once in a while on the Team Helix Discord channel

I thought I saw DoD here but maybe it's my 'magination. I did see from the links that Black_Mage turned a billion points!

I am afraid, though, that unless DSLR comes fully back that Team Helix is gonna wither. 🙁

jjprevost Not your imagination. Just checked. There is a DonoftheDead in the member list here.

GeekGirl1

Why am I listed as #2 when there are actually #12 on the "official" folding@home list?

I should mention that my PC is dual-boot. Thanks to unstable NVidia drivers, I'm unable to use Linux. I've been on Windows 11 for the past few days, so expect activity today.

I think @"leibold" used members that are currently members here.

I had to abandon v7.6 which would not run
core24 GPU work units due to Glib(sp?) library issues.
I offer my experiences if you need/want it.

parkut Running Ubuntu24.04, NVIDIA GTX1660 and the new v8.4.9 for TH_Foldinator

Thanks. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, NVidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GPU. I'm stuck with the OS because I'm using it as a development environment.

This is the configuration with the generic nouveau drivers:

FAH Client: 8.49
GPU: AD104 [GeForce RTX 4070 Ti]
Supported: False
OpenCL: False
CUDA: False

CPU: Intel i9-14900K, amd64

Nearly every NVidia driver I tried was unable to work reliably. CUDA is not supported in the generic driver. I didn't have much luck using the client (CLI) version. I'll keep trying. I really, really don't want to use the CPU for this.

parkut

You have a much more powerful system than my (almost) 5 year old stuff.

I found this "how-to" website very helpful. https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-24-04

Despite an announcement here: https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/ that v8.4.9 is the currently released version,
something is causing random crashes. But v7.x no longer runs any core24 work units

parkut You have a much more powerful system than my (almost) 5 year old stuff.

Thanks. I'll certainly give it another shot and post back here with the results. (It will take me a few days to get to this.)

GeekGirl1

I gave it another shot using the latest NVidia 570 drivers. Nope. It hung at the login screen - the same as before. I wiped all hints of NVidia from my PC and reinstalled the generic drivers.

GeekGirl1

For the Linux crowd - I posted how I recovered my generic drivers in Recovering from a crashed X-Windows session.

parkut

Does this mean you are still unable to run Linux FAH v8.4.9 ? What does your log file say about OpenCL?

parkut My Linux PC just upgraded the kernel. Since this is a major rebuild / cleanup, I decided to give it another try. Success!! Linux FAH 8.4.9 is happily crunching away on the GPU.

I had one glitch where the primary display was set to the HDMI output. It should have been set to the display port. Once I figured that out, it was straight-forward to reconfigure the NVidia settings for the correct primary display.

Sorry for the delay to respond. I am unable to run Linux FAH v8.4.9 on my GPU. OpenCL is unsupported and not in the log file. I can run with the CPU only, but that's not what I want to do.
