Linux: How fix GPU configuration issue?

[Roadpower]

I'm sorry if I rushed ahead and missed a thread that has already addressed this, please link to any such thread.

PS: To make this clear in advance; FAH is not detecting my GPU.

I wasn't able to find a means to text copy FAHControl System Info so I took a screen shot instead, also keep in mind that I'm a novice *nix user so I probably won't understand complicated instructions that assume prior knowledge. I'm aware the Folding project is over loaded with new volunteers at this time but my question isn't related to those issues. I'm just trying to fix my configuration so that I am properly setup going forward for when WU's are made available.

I have video drivers installed and can play contemporary 3D games that are able to be run on a *nix platform such as Doom and Shadow of the Tomb Raider via Steam launcher.

Thanks in advance for assistance.

As far as I know you need to install OpenCL:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev

And then restart the FAHClient service or process:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl restart FAHClient

[Nathan_P]

if that doesn't work try deleting gpu's .txt, there are reports that several donors have reported an empty file when first setting up the client

[Roadpower]

Okay so far my progress is about half way. It appears that the installation of ocl-icd-opencl-dev was successful (thank you!), however when I attempted to restart the client, it was not found. So I did what all old Windows users do, I restarted the system. I launched FAHControl and still see the same message regarding OpenCL Not detected.

Unfortunately in my ignorance I don't know where to look for the gpu's txt file. I'm guessing that file belongs to the FAH client configuration but I am still very weak in finding my way around on a *nix system. I imagine I have to probably unhide hidden system files.

[Roadpower]

Made a little more progress I think. Once again resorting to a old Windows user tactic I uninstalled fahclient and reinstalled it while rebooting the computer between operations. So the OpenCL error changed from failed to open dynamic library to clgetPlatformIDs ( ) returned -0001.

I'm researching that now, apparently that is an error that has been around a few years. I don't understand the fixes yet and will probably need help to enact them but at least it appears to be progress. I also noticed that the system was assigned a WU which it is currently crunching on (yay!). I'll leave things well enough alone until the system is in a resting state, and besides I don't know how to fix the error anyway yet.

Thanks again folks.

You may have success installing the AMD client driver for OpenCL:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install amd-opencl-icd

Now this is the package name on Debian, on Linux Mint it may be called differently.
Edit: The following may also help (see viewtopic.php?p=314284#p314284).

Code: Select all

sudo apt install ocl-icd-libopencl1

[Buuuh]

You may have success installing the AMD client driver for OpenCL:

Installed them after i got
OpenCL: Not detected: clGetPlatformIDs() returned -1001
in log.txt.

I even did a reboot after that.
Now log.txt doesn't even say anything anymore about my 6900xt.

I also read the link (even if the "link" is... no words).

I do run games regularly, so the basic driver stuff ist obviously installed correctly.

I also read the link (even if the "link" is... no words).

That link has been fixed up, appears to have been broken during move of the forum to its current host and an upgrade to the forum software.

Try installing opencl:

sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev

You may need to reboot after installing that software.

[Buuuh]

sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev

Already did that but didn't help.
During the time my post was confirmed by a moderator, it turned out, that i had to reinstall or modify the current driver installation... have no clue what it actually did.... however "reinstalling" the driver with

Code: Select all

amdgpu-install --usecase=opencl --no-dkms

after installing the opencl stuff made it work.

Still just to find out if this fucked up the perfomance or even broke the driver for playing games. I hope not.

Are you trying to fold on an Intel IGP?
