Looks like v8 is already systemd native: https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-cl ... nt.service 8)

When adding user to render group, better use sudo usermod -a -G render fahclient Also, there is a lot of dark magic in the post :D Most of it is not needed. amdgpu stack sort everything out these days. The only thing at this current moment what is needed is the workaround linked. The fix is coming ...

There have been some challenges over the years, but it's not too bad to get this up and running. Try this: #install AMD drivers, only for openCL wget https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/22.40.3/ubuntu/jammy/amdgpu-install_5.4.50403-1_all.deb sudo apt install ./amdgpu-install_5.4.50403-1_all.deb s...

Looks like https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/foldingathome uses

/var/lib/fah/cores/cores.foldingathome.org/ ...

and

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6

so just slightly different locations

I just stood up a fresh, headless Ubuntu 22.04 server with an RX 570 in it. Here is the fahclient install as recorded in my bash history. The only non-straightforward parts pertained to working around 1. render group permission 2. issue of auto-imported service file clashing with systemd: https://fo...

With that card, you will want to use the latest ROCm OpenCL drivers from AMD. Also check that /etc/OpenCL/vendors only contains the single .icd for the AMD driver - somethings in the FAH stack does not handle multiple .icd correctly. You will also need to use the workaround I describe here: https://...

I want to drop a link on this forum to my other post: https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=38848 because I'll bet others are encountering this or soon will. The long and short of it is the updated AMDGPU 22.40 drivers offer a massive performance improvement, but bring in a library version confli...

I've got a system with an AMD 6750XT in it running Ubuntu 22.04. An AMDGPU driver update was released this week and I wanted to install it to see if it would include the ROCm OpenCL perf improvements seen on Windows earlier this year. Instead, GPU folding stopped working altogether. :evil: fahclient...

This should be correct. What does

and report?

Done.

I imagine a bunch of people will be upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04 now that the pointrelease has been made - hope my evening spent dicking around with this can save you a bit of time. A change in the amdgpu install now requires your fahclient user to have render group in order to access the hardware and ...

Just in case anybody is using my fah.service... I had some boot instability issues that may have been related to fahclient starting at the same time as the graphics system. So I modified the fah.service to delay startup until after graphics are up and running. Anyone using my fah.service may want to...

I'm running as fahclient, not root. I did have to add fahclient to the video group manually.

~350K PPD for just the GPU.

OK, I think I've finally figured it out. For whatever reason, systemd (or at least the version on Ubuntu 18.04) does not get along with FAHClient's --run-as option. Instead of the auto-imported FAHClient.service, I wrote a fah.service [Unit] Description=Folding@Home for Systemd After=remote-fs.targe...
