I have been trying to set up Folding@home on my computer, but it does not appear to be folding. It always starts with a segmentation fault, even when nscd is started. I am using the SMP client. I went through all of the configuration files and configured them. Is there something that I have forgotten to do? I cannot find anything I haven't done yet on the wiki.
Thanks, ~UnsolvedCypher

How did you install folding@home and how are you starting it?

I installed it from the AUR, and I'm starting it using
sudo /etc/rc.d/foldingathome-smp start

So are you still booting with initscripts?

I don't think so, but I'm not sure what that means. Is there a way to check? I know I have installed systemd. The only reason I am launching it this way is because that's how the Wiki specified was the appropriate way to do so.

Do either of these links seem familar?:
https://www.archlinux.org/news/end-of-i … s-support/
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd
Anyways open a terminal and try running systemctl. If it fails or says units are not loaded then you're probably on initscripts.
If however you are running systemd then you should be able to use the service file included in the foldingathome package.

Yes, those links are familiar, but I remember not making any changes because I was new at the time. systemctl works. How would I go about running using the service file?

Read the wiki on systemd to learn about service files.

Thank you for making me do that, I learned a lot! I found the service, enabled it, and started it, but when I run systemctl I get
foldingathome-smp.service loaded failed failed Folding@Home distributed computing client
The logs in the fah-smp folder don't show anything related to this - they haven't changed in a while. Is there a log I can check to see why it's failing?

Does the command "sudo journalctl -u foldingathome-smp" give any info?
Also you may consider switching to the newer foldingathome-v7 package in AUR.

I just upgraded and all is going well. But is it possible to tell it to use a bit less CPU? I don't think constant 60 degrees C is good for it. Also, fahmon doesn't monitor the client for some reason. I have triple-checked the location, but it shows everything blank. Is it compatible with v7, and is it normal for it to show up as run by root under top?

Maybe you can change the CPU with the GUI:

If you want monitoring, this program should work:

fahcontrol is great, it offers monitoring, and CPU temperature fixes. Thanks for all of your help, annonymous_user!
