I am running FAH on an OpenSuse Leap 15.1 system.

When I start the client as root (not as service via /etc/init.d/fahclient start), after adding the GPU slot the client starts processing on the GPU as expected.

When I start the client as service (via /etc/init.d/fahclient start) there is a notice about a missing libOpenCL:

Code: Select all

06:36:19:               directory

but the lib exists:
fazer:/var/lib/fahclient # ll $(locate libOpenCL.so)

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    70 Feb 23 11:18 /var/lib/alternatives/libOpenCL.so.1

On my OpenSuSE there is no libOpenCL.so in /usr/lib64 - maybe that's the cause for the message...
Adding this link manually and restart the service shows no issue about the missing libOpenCL.so.

Now the client downloads a workunit for the GPU - but after the download it throws an error:

09:11:03:WU01:FS01:Cleaning up

Checking the /work/XX directory there is only the 00 running in the CPU - maybe the "Cleaning up" removes the subdir in /work/ for the WorkUnit. Is there a way to keep them for analysis?

on the WU02:FS01 there is shown an other error:

Code: Select all

09:11:15:WU02:FS01:0x22:ERROR:exception: There is no registered Platform called "OpenCL"

But what else is needed for the service process to access libOpenCL - as running as non service the system uses the GPU?

whole logfile since start (without FS00 (Slot 0: CPU): grep -v 'FS00' log.txt)

Code: Select all

Can you try this please:

Code: Select all

 sudo apt update 
sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev

then report back?

We've seen so many problems on Linux because the Nvidia and AMD drivers don't seem to include everything that is included in Windows drivers.

Posted: **Mon May 04, 2020 12:55 pm**

looks like ther is no ocl-icd-opencl-dev package on openSuSE, which files should be included there?

the opencl-headers for opencl-2.2 are installed
opencl-headers | package | 2.2+git.20170617-lp151.2.1 | noarch | openSUSE-15.1-Oss

but the libOpenCL comes from nvidia:

well if I run the client in the terminal all works fine - also GPU processing works.
Running as Service failed - looks like some PATH did not match to find OpenCL

by the way, why did a binary should need devel libs?

Try these commands :

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
sudo ln -s libOpenCL.so.1.0.0 libOpenCL.so

It's not that it's dev level, it's just a library which has shown to help fix this problem. We're mostly volunteers on here with no more access to underlying code than you so sometimes it's just about pointing people with problems to known solutions.

To expand on that a bit, someone posted a while back that installing the dev package appeared to fix up some links that were left unresolved by the runtime install. Whether that is still the case, adding the dev kit has fixed up things for many, but not all.

An additional problem people have run into is that on more recent distros of Linux, the account running the GPU folding also needs to belong to the 'video' group, and on the latest a 'render' group. Running under 'root' is just a way to avoid that issue. There is a longish set of posts here on the forum by someone who dug into this and posted his findings as well as submitted a problem report on the GitHub site for the F@h software.

From what I understand, FAH needs the runtime library package but if it exists, it's hard to find. The full developer lib probably isn't needed but it certainly contains the runtime code. If you discover a better way (with a smaller install package) let us know.

I'm using an AMD Radeon RX 64, not an Nvidia GPU, but I had the same issue. Other OpenCL applications were working fine, but FaH is quite picky. darktable has an excellent explanation of what makes OpenCL work, and how it finds its components. It says amongst others things that libOpenCL.so "must be in a folder where it is found by your system's dynamic linker". This is because there's no fixed place for this library, on my computer for instance. On my machine OpenCL is provided by the AMD implementation ROCm 3.3, and libOpenCL is located in path /opt/rocm-3.3.0/opencl/lib/x86_64, while others seem to use /usr/lib. There are actually 2 files, there's libOpenCL.so that's a link to the actual libOpenCL.so.1, which other apps search for, and use. FaH seems to insist on libOpenCL.so however, but that wasn't in the library path. I solved the issue by adding a .conf file to /etc/ld.so.conf.d, with the library path as content, and added that to the library with ldconfig. You could probably use LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well, but I haven't tried that, ld.so.conf.d is working great for me.

I'm also not sure about the group fahclient is supposed to be in. It has to do with the udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d for KFD, but people say in Ubuntu 20.04, which I'm running, KFD isn't owned by video anymore, but by render. That's why I made user fahclient a member of both groups. And I've modified /etc/init.d/FAHClient so it runs as root. It's running as a service, it's crunching CPU, and GPU WU's fine, and I can use fahcontrol to manage the service, but it takes a lot of tweaking to get it all to run smoothly.
