'Could not CosmHTTPOpen' / 'Requesting User ID from server' Fix
There is a current bug related to the 6.29 Linux client that has been affecting more recent versions of Linux. Known distributions with issues are Fedora and Arch (and likely anything else with very recent glibc versions). The symptoms of this issue are that your client seems to hang on retrieving or reporting work units..
To fix this issue, you simply need to run the sncd daemon. This can be done in the following way(s):
Fedorachkconfig nscd on && service nscd start
Arch Linux
/etc/rc.d/nscd start
note: Remember to add nscd to your rc.conf DAEMONS array
Origami 0.7.4 Released
Origami version 0.7.4 is now available here. This is an incremental change leading up to the 0.8.0 release, which will be a major rewrite. Changes in this release include:
- Support for -advmethods via the '-a 1' or '--adv=1' options
- Changed packetsize option to '-s' or '--size='
- Pull 'finstall' script from zelut.org domain instead of (unreliable) vendomar.ee/~ivo
- Changed license from GPLv2 to FreeBSD
As this is an incremental release that doesn't add any major management improvements, upgrading is optional. New installations may appreciate the changes however.
New Origami Website
Welcome to the new Origami website. This website is designed to properly document how to install and use Origami for use with Folding@Home distributed computing clients. Historically this information was found scattered across multiple community wiki pages, in README files and man pages. This site should now be considered the definitive source for Origami documentation.
If you have any questions about Origami, Folding@Home or this site, please see the FAQ and Documentation pages for more information.
