Linux: Folding@Home

[Trox]

Im pretty much a noob to this, so...

I have installed FaH as per the guide, i run the client and it starts up no problem, or so it says, i type in the following to check the status...

root@Ultima:~/foldingathome# ./folding status 1

['folding' ver. 5.5]

Status of running FAH client(s) on 1 processor(s):
Status on all possible FAH client(s):

All seems well, but!
Going by my Gkrellm the CPU isnt under any serious load, and the progress nver goes above 0%, i left it over night and it was still 0%.

Anyone shed some light on this please ?

Im running Ubuntu Fiesty, specs are..

problem solved!

a mate in IRC had an idea of what the problem was, it was running at 19 priority, changed it to 0 and its working normally

Cheers for errr nothing

The linux guide was good, worked first time. Only trouble was the above, i sorted it out by going in terminal
'Top' command then renice the pid for fah to 0, as it was set on 19 which is very low priority.

I would like a guide for setting up a monitor for it. Im trying to set up a Gkrellm plugin for it but im having some trouble.

Cheers for the welcome
