openSUSE Tumbleweed
Fah client bastet beta 8.3.17, (tumbleweed does not supply any other version)
GP108 [GeForce GT 1030]

yesterday, we switched from nvidia 550 to 570.
Today after PC startup GPU is not used.

I uninstalled all packets containing "nvidia" in their name.
Then I asked to install the packet "nvidia-compute".
This installs all necessary packets for computing.

I get this with the data center tool about opencl :

Number of platforms 1
Platform Name NVIDIA CUDA
Platform Vendor NVIDIA Corporation
Platform Version OpenCL 3.0 CUDA 12.8.51
Platform Profile FULL_PROFILE
Platform Extensions cl_khr_global_int32_base_atomics cl_khr_global_int32_extended_atomics cl_khr_local_int32_base_atomics cl_khr_local_int32_extended_atomics cl_khr_fp64 cl_khr_3d_image_writes cl_khr_byte_addressable_store cl_khr_icd cl_khr_gl_sharing cl_nv_compiler_options cl_nv_device_attribute_query cl_nv_pragma_unroll cl_nv_copy_opts cl_nv_create_buffer cl_khr_int64_base_atomics cl_khr_int64_extended_atomics cl_khr_device_uuid cl_khr_pci_bus_info cl_khr_external_semaphore cl_khr_external_memory cl_khr_external_semaphore_opaque_fd cl_khr_external_memory_opaque_fd cl_khr_semaphore

Does it work if you restart the systemd fah-client.service?

If so, try editing the service to have
NoNewPrivileges=no

Ok this work. Thanks.

How do you prevent the new statement from disappearing during the fah update?

Thanks

systemctl edit fah-client

You might need sudo depending on your distribution.

Surprise

This morning fah-client start with the same error. Gpu is not found

I checked that the statement "NoNewPrivileges=no" is there. No problem.

I execute "sudo systemctl restart fah-client"

Then GPU computing starts !

I assume that something is not there when fah-client starts but is there later.

In the past I ran "clinfo for fah-client finds nvidia cuda and nvidia opencl"

I ran in a script "clinfo" at PC start.

This work.
