Failing to give GPU a job. May be problem with linux.
Hello, my folding@home user is williamHeaton_success my gpu is a 4060 and im running pop os. After updating my os an restart was needed so I paused using the blue button at the top of the page and restarted my computer. After restart I restarted the jobs with the green button at the top, at that point the cpu job reststarted but the gpu job did not. All cpu cores were being used on the cpu job and the gpu job said it did not have resources. I deleted both jobs and messed with the cpu slider and the gpu check box in the settings to try to get the app to give a job to both, but only the cpu would restart. The client says I have "AD107 [GeForce RTX 4060]" but no job is shown for the gpu, only the cpu. Thank you.

With Linux some people have found they needed to reinstall the Nvidia drivers after an OS update. The F@h client may not be seeing the GPU as having CUDA support installed after the OS update.

On Debian based Linux (including Ubuntu and Pop) first install dkms, then (re)install the Nvidia driver and have it register with dkms. After that, when the kernel is updated, the driver is automatically recompiled for that kernel.
dkms is a standard package, so you can install that with apt-get install dkms. You do not have to uninstall the Nvidia driver before installing dkms and reinstalling the driver.

Reinstalling drivers nothing. However, reinstalling the client did. Thank you.

This is a recurring issue, presenting with a restart or power off.

If it's not related to patching, but to (re)boots, the next question will be: what version of F@h are you running? Can you post the top 100 or 200 lines of the log (also see viewtopic.php?t=26036)?
