I don't usually run it as root, but thought that permissions might be getting in the way... as root or as a user i get the same problem... i hope it's just a down server, but i'd really like to get this machine folding again...

Nope. I don't think itz permizzionz. Juzt a zerver glitch, I zuzpect.

It is a known problem with the client for Linux. There seems to be an incompatibility between the client and glibc 2.3.1.

See that thread.

The client ran fine when I had Mandrake 9 beta 3, but it gives me the same "segmentation fault" that you get since I upgraded to Mandrake 9 RC1.

 

[blakerwry]

yeah, i just found the same thing this morning... that's too bad they don't open the source or offer another version for us folk... I'm sure they will eventually.. but that is dissapointing that they are so slow in getting this fixed.

 

[blakerwry]

Coug... I decided to look into getting my 2.0gHz folding again ever since that white dog guy came around...

well, the proxy method worked very easily...

most ISPs have a proxy.. and there are alot of openly available proxy servers on the internet...

my isp had a proxy, so I used it...


open the client.cfg file (it's wherever you have installed FAH) and change it to look like this:

[settings]
username=blakerwry
team=10047
asknet=no

[http]
active=yes
host=24.94.163.5
port=8080
usepasswd=no

you can substitute your name for mine if you really want. :wink: and you can substitute the "host" with the IP address of your proxy... it can be any open proxy server, but you have to specify it by IP... (i recomend you just use the one I have listed)
