The Linux SMP A2 restarting bug is fixed but the communication error bug remains:

Code:

I am now officially very cheesed off with FaH, it seems you have to nurture and caretake the Linux SMP client. What's really annoying is that it just stops, it doesn't get a new WU like it seems to suggest.

I think I may just concentrate on Rosetta for a while, until the bugs are ironed out, losing a WU at 92% when they take 16 hours or so is a tad annoying.

:(
 
I must admit i have never encountered that client-core error before, at least not that i can remember. Guess i have been a bit lucky in that respect, but i feel your pain! Currently in EUE city with my graphics card at the moment... not good... :(
 
just out of curiosity what do i need to run a linux smp client via windows on a tri core cpu
the reason i ask is im hopefully soon to be upgrading to an AMD Phenom II 720 BE
ive already worked out my current 4400+ is not worth folding on but will be looking into it more once i change my current setup.
