Team Anandtech vs Tom’s Hardware FAH Race - Round 2

Guys, if you still haven't managed to get Linux GPU folding to work with nVidia cards, Ubuntu 18.04 was released a couple of days ago. After all the issues I had on previous releases, it's an absolute breeze getting it set up this time around! Those of you familiar with my guide will find it...

The 12th Annual Folding@Home Holiday Season Race

PSU definitely weighs more than 2 kilos though! I'm pretty much set on taking this thing with me on my layover though. Just need to double check on a rumour that I get half price employee discounts from Dubai with DHL or FedEx tomorrow first. If true, it will only be twice as expensive as...

EVGA. Seems like the RMA was approved. Now I just have to ship it to Germany. Quotes seem to be in the range of 70 USD from Dubai! I've got a flight to London in a couple of days, so I'm thinking I might just ship it from there for 15 GBP instead. Why is shipping so damn expensive?

Nah, teleporters would put me out of the job! Currently going through the RMA process. Waiting for approval. Not sure if it takes long, or if I'm stuck on something though. I got a message saying my uploaded invoice of the PSU was rejected for a list of possible reasons and automatically...

The 12th Annual Folding@Home Holiday Season Race

Well, this is a bummer. PSU blew up on one of my folding rigs. At least it happened after the competition I guess! Now I need to figure out how to use the 10 year warranty on this thing, since it was purchased in the US, and I'm a little over 12 000 Km away...

Will take a look at it later. I'm out of the country now for a week on work.

Hiig's Linux Troubles

Okay, installed. Now I'm back to my original problem with nvidia-settings, which is connection refused and undefined display messages as shown in the first post. EDIT: First post edited. Will continue to edit first post to show what is currently happening EDIT2: The following update will not...

Tried Debian before. Several packages couldn't be installed. Message said certain packages were 'uninstallable'. Tried to manually install .deb packages in place of those, but no luck. Anyway, I've hijacked this thread long enough. Going to continue in this thread.

Hiig's Linux Troubles

(Note: I am frequently editing this post to reflect the current situation) Been hijacking the other thread, so I figured I'd create a dedicated thread for this issue that's had me pulling my hair out, crying in the corner, and considering medication for hypertension! Let's get right to it! As...

I haven't installed ia32-libs, and I do recall the /.run file from Nvidia mentioning that it could not install 32bit compatibility, despite saying installation successful. Maybe that's the missing piece of the puzzle? Right, I'll try it again... EDIT: Can't do anything with it at the moment...

This makes no sense. I tried installing the exact same version of Mint and nvidia drivers that worked on the original setup...and it still doesn't work. I think I'm just going to give up on this.

4th post. Came across it while trying to figure out the connection refused issue. I'm going to guess I don't have a window manager installed. LightDM and GDM are the only two I can think of, neither of which are in my list of installed packages. Going to install LightDM and see what happens...

Apparently you can get it working over SSH with the magic cookie method. ps aux reports nothing X related running. Here's a list of all processes output by that command. I'm not actually sure how to get X started, either manually, or automatically. I had assumed it would start automatically...

I'm unable to perform any nvidia-settings function. The two aforementioned messages keep returning (connection refused and undefined display).

The 12th Annual Folding@Home Holiday Season Race

Already have that. These are all the packages I have installed. GPU folding on a headless system is definitely possible. My issue isn't on the fahclient end of things with nvidia-settings and Xorg. It's that I can't manually set the fan speeds, which prevents me from safely folding, as the...
