It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though NVidia has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

Mod note: split from older topic - viewtopic.php?f=80&t=34538 - due to change in Linux distro being asked about
On Centos 8.2 w/ NV136 nouveau drivers and
installed:
05:39:25:Enabled folding slot 01: READY gpu:0:GP106 [GeForce GTX 1060 6GB] 4372
Although ocl-icd is installed it is apparently not sufficient for fahclient.

As I remember (I don't use Linux anymore), FAH requires the drivers from Nvidia, for example:
Code: Select all
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt list nvidia-driver
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-NEWEST_VERSION_LISTED
and ocl-icd-opencl-
dev
Code: Select all
sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev
A reboot is required after the -dev installation.

So? Centos is a Linux distro. I don't know for 8.2, as it is really quite new, but I don't think that it should make a difference.

Right. Then, the required package ist ocl-icd-opencl-dev and not just ocl-icd . And -opencl is not (yet) available on Centos 8.2, therefore we need to wait.
