Re: [tuto] 8.3.5, openSUSE Tumbleweed, installation

I can't reproduce the compilation error. It works fine here. Note that you need to apply this cbang fix on top of version 8.4.9 to be able to create the package on Tumbleweed.

Re: Ultimate AMD GPU Linux FAH Guide for OpenCL (FAH-Client v8 only)

Excluding the -devel packages, which, in theory, aren't needed, installing the rocm-opencl package from the Fedora repository would be the equivalent, which you've already proven doesn't work. :lol: Have you tried installing just the rocm-opencl-runtime package from the AMD repository (it should bri...

Re: Ultimate AMD GPU Linux FAH Guide for OpenCL (FAH-Client v8 only)

I looked into what this AMD rocm-opencl-sdk package consists of in Fedora. It is an empty package that depends on the following packages: hsa-rocr-devel hsakmt-roct-devel rocm-core rocm-opencl-devel rocm-opencl-runtime Fedora packages several ROCm packages. Maybe it's a matter of figuring out which ...

Is it necessary? The client process is executed under the fah-client user account, which is already part of the render and video groups. :?

Re: Unable to run NVIDIA GPU with driver 535 [Solved]

Up until version 8.4.9, the fah-client service has NoNewPrivileges=yes set, meaning any process running as a normal user can't escalate privileges, like running SUID root binaries. It's a crucial security measure, as nothing in the fah-client needs root privileges. Unfortunately, the Nvidia driver i...

Re: Unable to run NVIDIA GPU with driver 535 [Solved]

Using an override (i.e. `systemctl edit fah-client.service`) to set NoNewPrivileges to "no" also results in the GPU working, as expected. Now, going by the systemd.exec man page this would mean that something in the code is utilising `execve()` on a setuid or setgid binary. Is there any c...

Re: Linux Ubuntu/Mint/Pop OS Install Work folder to different hard drive

First, do not directly edit /usr/lib/systemd/system/fah-client.service. Editing this file directly is discouraged, as it will be overwritten during package updates. Use the command systemctl edit --full fah-client.service to create a custom service unit. If the EDITOR environment variable is not set...

Re: W7 computers not getting work assignments

I'm not sure if this is related to your issue, but since version 8.3.6, the code responsible for loading DLLs requires the KB2533623 update on Windows 7. https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2533623 Edit It has been superseded by KB3063858: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3063858 http://technet.microso...

Re: advanced options with 8.3, can't download any cores

I'm occasionally experiencing some name resolution failures here too. It disappears for a while, sometimes comes back, but always ends up working after a few tries. If you can consistently reproduce the issue, it would be helpful to install the debug version, add the following to the configuration f...

Re: More work units that will exceed expiry time

I have seen this too here. WUs expiring the deadline with my i7-4770:

Project: 12420 (Run 176, Clone 7, Gen 0) -- with 2 CPUs
Project: 12423 (Run 18, Clone 1, Gen 51) -- with 3 CPUs

Re: lufah - Little Utility for FAH v8

It would be helpful to have 'timeout' and 'deadline' information in the output of the 'units' command. Or only 'deadline', to know when the WU will be automatically dumped if not completed in time.
