FAHClient crashing & GPU not recognized

[estiar]

Trying to get FAH working on my linux computer (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)
I have an AMD graphics card, but the client does not recognize it. The client also fails on startup. Here's my output

Any clues on how to fix this?

Welcome to the forum!

It looks like you may have two different problems here.

First that failed to open of GPUs.txt.bak: are you running FAH as a different user than root, and does that user own (recursively) /var/lib/fahclient?

Then as for the graphics card. What kind do you have? The card needs to support FP64 in hardware, and OpenCL 1.2, seriously old cards won't match all that. Did you install the official AMD drivers? The ones included with Ubuntu likely won't work with FAH. I don't have AMD myself, but for NVIdia it's the same. If you install the AMD drivers, you may want to have dkms installed first, so that kernel modules are updated when you update the kernel.

The initial errors look like your system is not connected to the internet at the point that the client started. The client does need an active internet connection to get the GPUs.txt file from the servers first.

I ran it as root and it runs, but only on the CPU. I got this error for the GPU. It detects it so that's an improvement!

/var/lib/fahclient/ doesn't have anything in it and it's permissions are rwx rwx r-x, so I don't see any problems with permissions. It's owned by root though, but I don't think I'm supposed to change that.

I have a Radeon RX 5700 XT, which isn't exactly an old GPU. It's from the same generation as the NVidia 20 series.
I'll hunt for some drivers that support OpenCL1.2. I think I'm using open source drivers, so that might be the issue.

I managed to get GPUs.txt. It should be under /root/ right?

[JimboPalmer]

You have an AMD card and CUDA is proprietary to Nvidia, so the CuDA part of that error is normal and not a show stopper.

If you give us a current log, we can make better guesses.

What about OpenGL?

Log as requested or are you looking for something else?
I also got FAHControl running. Wish there was a good APT repository instead of having to hunt around forums

GPU folding uses OpenCL, not OpenGL. It is used on AMD and Intel GPUs for processing. OpenCL is also used with the Kepler generation of GPUs as they do not support a high enough CUDA version to work with the libraries compiled into the folding core to support as many generations of Nvidia cards as possible.

You will need the AMD proprietary drivers and OpenCL support installed to fold on your GPU. There is this topic on getting the drivers setup for Linux - viewtopic.php?t=33353. Hopefully it can give you some usable directions.

One of the issues you are running into is that the V7 folding client software was originally programmed for Ubuntu 16 LTS and 18 LTS. Development of V8 was started on in 2019, but suspended due to COVID. Some bug fixes and minor updates were done to the V7 client. And some people updated the open source code for FAHControl to work with Python 3. That is not part of the regular download from the F@h servers. Another group created a Snap package for the client software as well. Work on V8 has resumed, it should be coming out for beta testing sometime in the next year. Much of it should be open source.

On Linux you will also run into another issue with the installer and more recent versions of Linux. By design the client is supposed to install and run under a non-privileged user - fahclient - but changes in Linux result in that not working correctly on install and running under root instead. There have been some posts in the past on how to fix that up for some Linux distros.

One note about posting your log. Please leave the verbosity setting at the default of 3, higher settings do not provide useful debugging information for an installed setup.
