As an update I turned off tracking protection and low and behold all of the avatars, badges, notifications, smileys, page navigation etc. started working again.

But now it says 30 services on this site are tracking me 🙁

Will have to figure out how to stop the tracking but still have functionality. ??????

Sounds Like your Tracking Protection is a bit overly aggressive..

I use the DoNotTrackMe from Abine, the free version. It works fine and tells me it is blocking 8 companies from tracking what I do on Toms. I still get all the smiles and stuff. It says "Your all-time total is: 47,817 blocked" and I seem to have won a second platinum medal. I think I'd rather just have the cash than the medals.

I was using that until yesterday morning.
I uninstalled it thinking it might be the problem.. And turned on windows IE tracking protection. With a few lists I downloaded from the windows site.
PFfffffTT 2 platinums is nothing ,I was on 15 and climbing.
I will reinstall and turn off the windows lists and see what happens.

Thanks for your input.

Linux nebs question: How doe sone uninstall a program?

Whould I have to sudo apt-get uninstall FAHClient?

 

[EXT64]

Almost - it should be:

sudo apt-get remove <application_name>

on Ubuntu.

You can also use the software/package manager and do the same but in the GUI.

 

[dogman_1234]

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package FAHClient

 

[randomizer]

Then you don't have a package installed called FAHClient. I am pretty sure it's case sensitive. Use apt-cache search <something> and see if you can find it.

 

[EXT64]

That's why I suggested checking out the GUI - they sometimes don't have friendly names.

I believe it is:

fahclient
fahcontrol
fahviewer

To remove everything.

 

[dogman_1234]

fahclient:

Package fahclient has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list

I have deleted all of fahclient, fahcontrol, and fahviewer. They were in the software manager. Now, when I sudo apt-get install fahclient, I get the above message in Terminal.

Either there is corruption associated with the file, or I need to get a download from Stanford's website.

What do you think?

 

[EXT64]

I don't think the folding at home stuff is in the default ubuntu repos. I've always downloaded them (that way I can more easily choose the version I get too).

From Stanford, the full terminal installation process for ubuntu types is:

http://folding.stanford.edu/home/guide/linux-install-guide/#ntoc8

 

[randomizer]

Yes, Stanford distributes packages themselves. They have no repository AFAIK, so you just need to install them manaually with dpkg or rpm.

 

[silveralien81]

Could you guys tell me some reasons why someone would stop receiving bonus points all of a sudden?

 

[EXT64]

Stanford glitch, too many failed/error WUs (need overall 80% success rate), no passkey (or error in passkey), missed preferred deadline for WU. Is this on your computer?

 

[silveralien81]

Yep. On two separate GPUs in 2 separate computers. I had a couple failures on one machine right before my points went to hell. Now neither GPU is earning bonus points. Both CPU clients are still getting bonus points. Very strange.

 

[Unolocogringo]

Are you getting the low point 8018 units.
If so they do not have bonus points. And I have had a few of them fail as Bad work units.
My points are way down as all I receive lately is the 8018 GPU work units.
Before the 8018,s I averaged between 50-70,000 ppd depending on work unit. now the same comp is 36-38,000 ppd.

My 2 cpu clients are still receiving QRB but not the 3 GPU clients on the 8018's.

 

[EXT64]

Ah, good catch. I hadn't thought about that. Core 15 WUs (anything besides 8900 at this point) don't get bonus points. I had thought that they were supposed to be winding those down, but they actually just made a new one (7627). I think a month or so into next year we should be getting some exciting new stuff.

My points have taken a dive because I keep forgetting to close VLC. Even when there is no video playing/ paused it wont run F@H while VLC is open.

Bad boy!!!! Now go stand in the corner until you can remember to do things right.

 

[anti-painkilla]

Sorry sir, shall I shall stand in the corner until I can be a functional member of society.

I have a feeling I will be there are while. *Grabs some snacks and some graphic novels*

 

[Unolocogringo]

Woooohooooo!!!!!!
I got an 8900 work unit,instead of the 8018's

It was supposed to be a short Time Out not a Camp Out.

Kids these days!

 

[EXT64]

Yeah, and snacks and entertainment? Sounds more like a vacation :lol:

 

[anti-painkilla]

Vacations in NZ are tents and spirits. Which is the plan for new years.

Maybe a spanking would be more in order? I have the dominatrix on speed dial...

TMI

Did not need to know that.

Vacations here are pack the motorhome with food, a few extra weather related clothes and four dogs. A small bag of green, alcohol and me don't get along. Can't function properly. But I suppose that is the intent.
Then head out to a State or National park for a few weeks. Usually from late August to May while kids are in school.
Our last trip in September we were one of three campers in the park. It had 47 sites to give an example of how few people were there.
Pretty much had the place to ourselves.

 

[anti-painkilla]

Totally agree, if you can holidays while students are at school it makes the place a whole lot nicer and less busy. Getting that time off when you work in a school is another story. Thankfully baches and are usually up to 3 hours away so weekend trips during summer still work.

 

[silveralien81]

Yep, it's the 8018's. One system has recovered and is doing great. But my 660ti is still sucking on the 8018's. Hope she recovers soon. My points are half what they should be.
