Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

I figured it out now: You have to run a graphical program and a text only one at the same time. Score! 2 programs at 100% Of course, one of mine (since I set it to only get very complex ones) has a 50000 frame one (@ 5.6 seconds per frame). Anyhow, great to be able to support something with my computer!
 
I FINALLY got F@H running on my Ubuntu machine. Now I'm scared to close it for fear of it not starting again lmao.

Ah well, learning Linux one step at a time.
 
How can I make an Icon or "shortcut" in Ubuntu to launch my F@H program whenever I want? Right now I have to run it in the terminal and do alot of typing jsut to start it, very annoying.

I can't simply open the .exe
 
Nice work guys

I have been away from the team for about a week. But from now I'll contribute with a 2GHz Venice chip only.

Why not with your PD? If you set it to low priority it doesnt use up your cpu when you really need it.

The linux console is an Exe, do you have any clue what to do?

Not quite sure, I've never used linux so I don't know how to get .exe files to run. In the install info for the linux console, all that's said is:
launch.jpg

Does that mean anything to you?
 
The only problem I've experienced with this program is that it kicks me out of a game window when it's running, even if I've paused it and it's in the taskbar. Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it? (it's happened in Guild Wars, BFME, and others...)

FAQ said:
OpenGL games don't work or get minimized when running the FAH graphical client. There is an known issue that can occur when running F@H and any other application that uses OpenGL, which are mainly games. This issue is not due to F@H itself, but rather that OpenGL, which is used in the F@H graphical client, does not allow itself to be used by two programs simultaneously. The workaround for this issue is to uninstall the F@H graphical client and install the console client.

Ok, I've reached my target with another team, so I'm now starting my first WU for the COFO Team.

Come on everybody, join in! :)
 
Hehe

Great man. You seem to be an active member with motivation! Just what we need. We have made some amazing progress in my view since the "rebirth" of the FOLDING@HOME team here at COFO.

Consider this:

14WUs on 25/03/2006
235WUs on 17/05/2006 (today)

All that within two months!

JAN :D

I have my overclocked Opteron folding 24 hours a day, so hopefully I'll be able to make a decent contribution. It's such an effortless thing to do in order to help with medical research, so all I say is why not?
 
I've been working on a 50,000,000 step project, and it's taken me about a week to get to 84% complete. Once it's done, my score will really soar.
