Is it possible to just show the lines to run, instead of a link to a set of links ? So it I install mint 20 (which I may do tomorrow for 5950x number 4), then I can run these ?> since biodocs lines don't work ?
Here's what I do on Debian (I guess Mint is similar, but check the paths to be sure)...
Note 1: This assumes you have your system installed & updated, and the GPU is ready to go (i.e. drivers etc. are installed).
Note 2: I prefer to install the client without autostart and launch it via a script (the same for BOINC). That way, I have more control over what the system does after a reboot.
Code:
#Install the client manually
sudo wget https://... (insert the link to the newest fahclient for Debian)
sudo dpkg -i fahclient_file_name (*.deb)
#Place GPUs.txt in /var/lib/fahclient
sudo wget https://apps.foldingathome.org/GPUs.txt -P /var/lib/fahclient
#Edit config.xml
sudo nano /etc/fahclient/config.xml
#Enable GPU (change the below option to true)
<gpu v="true"/>
#Enable full power (change the below option to full)
<power v="full"/>
#Add remote access config & password (change x.x.x.x to your admin workstation's IP address and xyz to your desired password)
<allow>127.0.01 x.x.x.x</allow>
<password>xyz</password>
#Preconfigure the client (add the following)
<client-type v=”advanced”/>
#Preconfigure the slots (add the following and adapt for your system)
<slot id=”0” type=”GPU”>
<paused v=”true”/>
</slot>
<slot id=”1” type=”CPU”>
<paused v=”true”/>
</slot>
#Save and exit
#Restart fahclient
sudo /etc/init.d/FAHClient start
Now, go to your admin workstation's FAHControl and add your new client, with its IP address, password (configured in the config.xml), and port (usually 36330). Check your firewall to allow such traffic. Once FAHControl has connected to the client, check and maintain your configuration, and unpause the slots. Done.
