Running ~x86, I updated to sci-biology/foldingathome-6.02-r1 the other day. I have deleted all old config's and reconfigured f@h, but the the init scripts fails to start f@h. It reports that the service is started, but no processes related to folding are running, and the files in /opt/foldingathome doesn't change. Furthermore, trying to stop the service results in: $ sudo /etc/init.d/foldingathome stop * Stopping Folding@Home ... * start-stop-daemon: no matching processes found [ ok ] * ERROR: foldingathome failed to stop All in all, the service never starts or crashes very quickly. If I run /opt/foldingathome/fah6 the program starts. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge foldingathome-6.02-r1 2. /etc/init.d/foldingathome start Actual Results: top shows no cpu hungry processes, while cpu is idling Expected Results: My cpu should be burning aka f@h running :)
Is there a folding process still running? Does this problem persist after restarting your computer?
(In reply to comment #1) > Is there a folding process still running? > Does this problem persist after restarting your computer? > No, nothing related to fah is running (have tried greping). And /var/run/folding contains a pid, which is non existent. Yes, this also persists after restarting the computer.
Try this: # cat /var/run/folding 5862 # /etc/init.d/foldingathome start * WARNING: foldingathome has already been started # /etc/init.d/foldingathome restart * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Stopping Folding@Home ... [ ok ] * ERROR: foldingathome failed to stop # /etc/init.d/foldingathome zap * Manually resetting foldingathome to stopped state # /etc/init.d/foldingathome start * Starting Folding@Home ... [ ok ] # cat /var/run/folding 10348
I'm confirming this. Small research shows that option "-smp" make fah6 stop. # ./fah6 -smp Note: Please read the license agreement (fah6 -license). Further use of this software requires that you have read and accepted this agreement. This client only supports 64-bit linux machines. Your machine was detected as ''. Folding@Home Client Shutdown. If I change /etc/conf.d/foldingathome and remove -smp then it works fine. It is strange because my system is 32bit Portage 2.2_rc16 (default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r0, 2.6.27-zen4-home1 i686)

I will be able to try that tomorrow Jeffrey. My system is also 32 bit.
okay, I removed smp from the default opts, can you guys re-emerge and try again? Thanks, je_fro
With the SMP flag disabled, the client starts without a problem. But if I try to stop it: $ sudo /etc/init.d/foldingathome stop * Stopping Folding@Home ... [ ok ] * ERROR: foldingathome failed to stop Even though the client actually stops. And afterwards I can't start the client: $ sudo /etc/init.d/foldingathome start * WARNING: foldingathome has already been started Then I have to zap it before I can start it. I guess this means that there still is a problem with the init script. And yes, this is persistent. But not being able to use the SMP flag and the new packaging of foldingathome means that I cant use more than one core.

(In reply to comment #7) > $ sudo /etc/init.d/foldingathome stop > * Stopping Folding@Home ... [ ok > ] > * ERROR: foldingathome failed to stop Are you sure you updated the init script? You are free to mask this version if you have a multicore x86 box. Thanks, je_fro

Shouldn't a emerge -avtC foldingathome followed by a emerge -avt foldingathome result in a newly installed init script?
When I start foldingathome manually it starts, but when I add it to default runlevel it never starts during boot - no messages, no errors, no pidfile, nothing - just like the script was never called. When I stop it manually it says it failed to stop - but it stops and removes pidfile. I cant restart it later becouse it says it has already been started. During shutdown the script is also not called, no stopping message. fahlog says it was stopped but I think it was killed with remaining processes.

P.S:sorry for my google-english
New install of sci-biology/foldingathome-6.02-r1 Can't start it, gives error: * WARNING: foldingathome has already been started.
emerge --info ?
(In reply to comment #15) > emerge --info > ? > Here it is http://pastebin.com/m49093964
I have the same problem with stopping foldingathome. I commented #killall --user foldingathome --signal SIGKILL
New version added to tree.
