Can't download new workunit - bigadv

[Rison]

Having a weird problem.
i7 860, with ubuntu linux, trying to run bigadv. I setup f@h and ran with parameters -smp8 -advmethods for a few days to make sure everything was ok (and waiting for a new UPS)
I try to run -smp8 -bigadv, and it won't download a new workunit.. it just cycles through "retry ### failed" when it tries to fetch a new workunit.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need a different/special client i've never heard of or something?

Make sure you have Client 6.29, and that the -advmethods flag is not added anywhere. And it's -smp 8. There is a space between.

Are you using the Windows 6.29 or the Linux 6.29 Rison?
The Windows 6.29 hasn't had Bigadv activated yet AFAIK but hopefully will soon :)

He says Ubuntu Linux. ;)

Client 6.29 is now mandatory for -bigadv folding.

lol eyes wide shut = me :)

Maybe a silly question, but do you have a passkey ?

[Rison]

-advmethods is not enabled.
I have the latest client, it's a new install of ubuntu/fah (as of 3 days ago)

I know about the space between -smp 8.
I do have a passkey and have been using it for 2-3 weeks now.

the fah program runs, and tries to fetch a new workunit, but fails.. the only thing I noticed is that when I use the -bigadv flag, it tries to connect to a different server/ip than when I use the -advmethods flag.
But I assume if the server wasn't working, there would be a lot more threads about it.

I'm at work now, and will try it again when I get home tonight.. hopefully it fixed itself (or something)

still not working. no big deal - no idea why it's not working.. but installing win7 later tonight and will run the notfred client + GPU folding.

Win7 isn't an option right now.. trying to get this to work again.

it's trying to fetch the work unit from 171.67.108.22 - anyone else have their bigadv fetch ok from there?

I was about to retry the 1.1 version of LinuxRouters VM appliance (for -bigadv -smp 8)and its been stuck waiting for a WU, same assignment server you mention. I happen to be in a hotel that is very cheap with the heating so I'll use my laptop to heat up the place. Hope it doesnt throttle like the earlier ones did (but it probably will)
