Folding Forum

Have done a few reinstalls in the meantime, each time performing the steps in a slightly different order, but with the same results: the CPU is folding only, not the GPU. So that still leaves the question: Why is it that someone else was able to run F@H on Linux with the same RX 580 card, or rather,...

That's what I thought. I see manual editing of confg files as a last ditch effort, neither which I am planning on scripting.

I am looking to create a script that can be used for another spare computer that this GPU will run in and be folding, hence the operating system reinstalls. The downgrade earlier was motivated by the possibility that the necessary libraries would only work prior to them having support removed that w...

Performed again a clean Ubuntu 22.04 install with all updates installed and then: sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/22.20.5/ubuntu/jammy/amdgpu-install_22.20.50205-1_all.deb sudo usermod -a -G video $HOSTNAME sudo usermod -a -G render $HOSTNAME reboot fahclie...

Just now downgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 with the associated amdgpu-install (https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-amdgpu-unified-linux-21-30 and which is even older than suggested Sat Feb 18, 2023 8:03 pm) and with FAHclient 7.4. Then also included ` sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev ` Th...

I had done that just now and no dependency issues to report. Will add it to the procedure: the machine will be reinstalled soon anyway, as it is now a quadro-boot.

Again a full reinstall of 22.04 with full options of AMDGPU driver for RX 580 (amdgpu-install_5.4.50401-1_all), added render and video, then FAHClient v7.6.21 (fahclient_7.6.21_amd64), in that order. Client is folding, but only on CPU: $ clinfo Number of platforms: 1 Platform Profile: FULL_PROFILE P...

Yes, it is odd given the experiences of someone else 2.5 years ago: https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?p=345255&hilit=RX580#p345255 $ clinfo Number of platforms: 1 Platform Profile: FULL_PROFILE Platform Version: OpenCL 2.1 AMD-APP (3513.0) Platform Name: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing ...

In the browser, the GPU icon shows an unhappy face and is listed as Disabled: $ cat /var/lib/fahclient/log.txt *********************** Log Started 2023-02-18T06:21:39Z *********************** 06:21:39:******************************* libFAH ******************************** 06:21:39: Date: Oct 20 2020...

Just did a reinstall again with the key difference taking FAHclient v7.6.21 (https://download.foldingathome.org/releases/public/release/fahclient/debian-stable-64bit/v7.6/fahclient_7.6.21_amd64.deb). GPU fans are not running and points per day is commensurate with CPU-only folding. $ cat /var/lib/fa...

Thanks all. The GPU is still not folding and no OpenCL detected (nor CUDA for that matter): $ cat /var/lib/fahclient/log.txt | grep 'Open\|CUDA' 10:19:52: CUDA: Not detected 10:20:03:WU00:FS00:0xa8: OpenMP: ON 10:20:03:WU00:FS00:0xa8: CUDA: OFF 10:21:04:WU00:FS00:0xa8: OpenMP: ON 10:21:04:WU00:FS00:...

The GeForce GT 710 approach did not help at all as only the CPU was used, so back at the original situation: Radeon RX 580 (Ellesmere) Intel Core i3-9100F Linux Ubuntu 22.04 64-bit with all updates installed Linux kernel v5.15.0-58-generic Approaching this by strictly following instructions: Clean i...

Thank you for your assistance. So for my understanding, is it the GPU driver which is at fault here? Happy to downgrade to Ubuntu 21.04, 20.04 or 19.04 if that helps. The machine in question is currently running headless with a GeForce GT 710 and for which CUDA was apparently co-installed. Will see ...

Haven't been able to make AMD Radeon RX 580 graphics card run on FAHClient v7.6.latest-snap3: Radeon RX 580 (Ellesmere) Intel Core i3-9100F Linux Ubuntu 22.04 64-bit with all updates installed Linux kernel v5.15.0-58-generic Drivers have been taken from the official AMD Support , yet despite all att...
