Issues with F@H 7.1.50 on large machine

[ddrueding]

Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit, fully updated.

Got the client, control, and viewer installed. Got the credentials input. Choose the SMP client.

It succesfully downloads a project, and then immediatly fails with the following error:

WU01:FS00:FahCore returned: FAILED_3 (255 = 0xff)

It then continues to retry and return the same. Googling returned so much junk I couldn't make anything from it.

Help?

You could always ask at the F@H forums. Maybe someone else there has had the same problem.

First question : are you absolutely sure that this machine is perfectly stable? Running the FAH client was supposed to be a stability test.

Just to be sure, you followed the installation instructions on this page?

San Diego's Wicked Bard is the one who'll be able to help you the most in case of a configuration issue. AFAIK, he's the only one here running the beta client V7 on Linux.

CougTek vastly overestimates my skills. I don't even know the correct pronunciation of Linux. With that caveat, IIRC I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 LTS because I think I read about Python incompatibilities with 11.10. Also, I think that box has an earlier beta release on it.
The F@H forums really are the place to go.

Stanford's forum thread about the latest beta release.

I don't even know the correct pronunciation of Linux.

I've listened to that probably 20 times in my life and still consistently mispronounce it. I blame the Peanuts character Linus.

Without specifically knowing, I've always pronounced it correctly. Now don't start me on Asses, err...Asus.

It shows stable in Memtest86 and some others, but I don't know how to test within Linux.

Nope. I went to the beta download page, downloaded the three modules there pertinent to Ubuntu and AMD64, and installed them. During install it asked for my username, team number, and passkey. It also asked what client I wanted to run and I chose SMP. It seems to be running...just with an error.

Might have found a solution. Delete the WU and try another one.

I'll try that as soon as I get back to work. Thanks!
