Is their any reason I would not be getting GPU Work. Boinc isn't detecting any GPUs on any of your hosts, If it can't see a GPU, it also can't ask for GPU work. Computers belonging to Spud1200 Claggy |

After Looking at the BOINC Log File its saying, "Unsupported Drivers" Or something along those lines and fah is completely failing on me. Under the Driver Manager in Mint 86_64 I have no device listed at the top of the Pop up Box for Mate Rebecca 17.1 so it looks like I'm going to have to do some digging around to get the GPU Drivers installed Manually.

Boinc isn't detecting any GPUs on any of your hosts, If it can't see a GPU, it also can't ask for GPU work. When I checked that list yesterday there was definitely a GTX 750 on one of those Linux hosts. So there must have been something working at least once before. Mint is still based on Ubuntu and I used to run NV cards on an Ubuntu derivative which required a bit of effort to get the drivers recognised by BOINC in at least one release (manually linking libopencl.so, libcuda.so and the like), I think it was Trusty. In Utopic, I managed to get things working more smoothly (without the manual linking) by installing all the driver packages (including dev-related ones). It looks like this release of Mint is based on Ubuntu Trusty. So it's possible the issues I had with Trusty may carry over to Mint as well. For the record, in Utopic it looks like I was using at least:

I have a GTX 750 TI FTW, Gentoo Linux. I have GPU tasks working, though there is probably a better way to do this. I am doing the following: Grab (setiathome_x41zc_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu_cuda60.7z) for maxwell GPUs from: http://jgopt.org/download.html Unpack the contents of that to: /var/lib/boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/ Create the file app_info.xml, also put it in that same directory. Here is my app_info.xml: <app_info> <app> <name>setiathome_v7</name> </app> <file_info> <name>setiathome_7.01_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>setiathome_v7</app_name> <version_num>701</version_num> <avg_ncpus>1.000000</avg_ncpus> <max_ncpus>1.000000</max_ncpus> <file_ref> <file_name>setiathome_7.01_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> <file_info> <name>setiathome_x41zc_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu_cuda60</name> <executable/> </file_info> <file_info> <name>libcudart.so.6.0</name> <executable/> </file_info> <file_info> <name>libcufft.so.6.0</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>setiathome_v7</app_name> <version_num>704</version_num> <plan_class>cuda60</plan_class> <flops>8e10</flops> <avg_ncpus>0.05</avg_ncpus> <max_ncpus>0.10</max_ncpus> <coproc> <type>CUDA</type> <count>0.165</count> </coproc> <file_ref> <file_name>setiathome_x41zc_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu_cuda60</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>libcudart.so.6.0</file_name> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>libcufft.so.6.0</file_name> </file_ref> </app_version> </app_info> And finally restart boinc. |

Thanks for posting that this build is working on Gentoo. I have had various confirmations of it working on other distros, So after twiddling it appears I managed to get the dependencies generic enough. That most likely amounts to that I'll be considering Linux builds into the main build system, such that later builds will eventually be auto built and deployed (I've been working in the background switching to a continuous development pattern using the Gradle build system, which is cross platform). At some stage I'll likely need to look at different packaging options, and make an update/configuration utility handle those fiddly bits better.
