There's a 'CPU1' folder in the same dir and it's logs show business as usual until June 8th, correct team but 'Anonymous' as my username.

Ideas?

There was a separate config file in that CPU1 directory. Changed the settings, restarted the folding service and I'm at #165 on the list

I'm gunning for your spot Dr. Zarkov

I am going to get my new laptop soon it is not as nice as the desktop i was looking at which can be found a few pages back but it is going to make F7 go super fast compared to the laptop i have now.

Anyway it is dual core and has 2gb of ram so hopefully that will help my score. I had 3 desktops with constant foldong but unfortunately one desktop's HD crashed on me and it is just barely working so until i can get a new drive i am down to 2 desktops

I installed it a few days ago and my statistics are still empty:

Any idea why? It's definitely using my CPU:

Can you post both your configuration files for CPU0+1?

I guess it hasn't done one yet.

it can take a while as the whole point is to use idal cpu cycles so it does not interfeere with your normal operations

***Firewing1*** · #**537** 29th July 2007, 05:37 AM

For anybody who doesn't like folding as it can slow down games, install folding and run this:

Code:

EDITOR=gedit crontab -e

Add this:

Code:

# enable 12:00am every day
0 0 * * * /etc/init.d/folding start
# disable 8:45am every day
45 8 * * * /etc/init.d/folding stop

Now save the file and quit.

This will enable folding at 12am so you fold at night and then shut it down at 8:45 am.

The motherboard in my Fedora box finally died. I knew there was something wrong with it a few months ago when I first installed Fedora on it. I recently bought a PS3 and installed the system updates and the Folding client. It looks really cool when it's running on that machine!

My new motherboard is sitting on my desk right now. Install time!

Dumb question but the defualt save location for a file genetated that way is int he /tmp folder where should i save it to actually have cron use it

***Firewing1*** · #**540** 2nd August 2007, 11:17 PM

Cron will install the /tmp file to where it needs to be
