I could use some help. I have tried everything I can think of to get these two ATI cards to crunch ANY project. First I had Ubuntu 16.04 installed and realized it was a driver issue (or so I thought) so I tried different drivers, no go. Then I moved them to another PC and installed Ununtu 14.04, which is supposed to have support for the cards, but still no go on getting them to work. BOINC says No GPU Detected.

Does ANYONE have any ideas on what I might be missing? Just let me know what I can supply system information wise to help figure this out, getting a bit frustrated. Now I know why I dislike ATI cards...

Let's see, since you don't have the CPU OpenCL listed I'd guess you're using the repository driver. I'd suggest the same as in the other thread, try making a link to the OpenCL library in /usr/lib. The easiest way is to open a file browser with root privileges. Open a terminal and enter gksu nautilus. It you need to, install gksu and nautilus. Enter the password and then navigate to where usr/lib/libOpenCL.so should be. If you have libOpenCL.so.1 there, make a link to it and name the link libOpenCL.so. If you have libOpenCL.so there, make a link and name it libOpenCL.so.1. One of those should result in BOINC seeing ONE GPU. To get BOINC to see Both GPUs, you'll have to do the gpu_manager.conf hack explained in other posts.

See if the link works first.

...only one of the GPUs is recognized by BOINC

Maybe the issue is this is a headless server? I don't use X or anything. I SSH into the system. The more I read the more it seems the GPU's are tied into a graphical desktop.

I pulled all the drivers I installed from fglrx*.

I am not seeing any of the OpenCL stuff. I did download fglrx-core_15.302-0ubuntu1_amd64_ub_14.01.deb I am thinking I should install this.

Maybe the issue is this is a headless server?

Yes, that does make things more difficult. It should work though.
That version of BOINC looks for the OpenCL library in usr/lib and upon Not finding it there will report No usable GPUs.
Different systems and different drivers will place the library and links in different locations. You just need to find the OpenCL library and place a valid link to it in usr/lib named libOpenCL.so
One popular location for the library is usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. Another is usr/lib/fglrx.

OK, I installed the AMD drivers and now I have the OpenCL.so.1 so I made the link and rebooted and still have:

Must be another problem associated with the Repository version of BOINC. I don't use the Repository version for various reasons.
Both my dual ATI Ubuntu 14.04 machines have the Berkeley BOINC installed in the Home folder, I don't have these problems.
I think there is another step that works with the repository version of BOINC posted somewhere on this board, or maybe someone else can post it.

Hmm, well thanks for trying. I have pretty much given up. I guess these cards are just not usable at least in any version of Linux I know how to get around in. Maybe I'll just axe the Ubuntu and put a copy of Windows on.

---

The first thing you should do is connect monitor to the cards. There's no point in trying to get an advanced configuration working before you have verified that basics work.

You can also try running clinfo if it reports any GPUs. If it doesn't BOINC won't either.

I'm pretty sure it's some obscure Permissions issue. A number of people have had the same trouble, some were able to solve it. Like I said, I found out a couple of years ago the easiest way to run BOINC was to use the Berkeley Installer and place it in the Home folder. You don't have any of those issues if you run BOINC from your Home folder. All I've had to do to get dozens of different installs to work is to install the System, place the Berkeley BOINC in the Home folder and install the One dependency, Install a driver and make sure the OpenCL link is in usr/lib. That's it, all of them worked. Earlier it was easier to install the Vendors Driver, but lately the Repository drivers have been working well.

Try this, it was suggested a few days ago, ...ensuring boinc was added to the "video" group
There are a few other things you can try, but, you'll have to search for them.
Juha may be able to help. If you can't get it to work, I'd suggest trying the Berkeley BOINC in the Home folder while suspending the System Networking. If it works you might be able to transfer your existing files to the Home folder BOINC and then re-enable networking. No Harm No Foul as long as the Ubuntu Networking is off when you first try the Berkeley BOINC.

This is for an nVidia card, it's the same for an ATI cards, just use the ATI driver.
https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=80636&postid=1836494#1836494

Do you have instructions on how to install the BOINC client in the home folder? I have downloaded the Ubuntu .sh file from the BOINC page, but I haven't a clue to how to get this installed. I seem to get it to run, but no projects and the like.

---

The instructions are at the link at the bottom of my last post, and here, https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_BOINC#The_Berkeley_Installer
That's for a machine with a monitor, it might be best to attach at least one monitor as Juha suggested. I have one card attached and the other using a dummy plug. When the .sh file runs it will create a folder named BOINC. The BOINC folder should be in your Home folder, I believe the execute bits are set, you might check that. You can probably install the needed dependency by installing libwxgtk2.8-dev. sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev
That should be all boincmgr needs, you might check dependencies with ldd in the terminal. After that, all you have to do is run the boincmgr that's in the BOINC folder. I just double click boincmgr and then lock it to the launcher, it works best if you don't restart BOINC very often ;-)

Hmmmm, I see a New Linux Host that still isn't showing any GPUs. So, that eliminates any Permissions problems, you don't need any special Permissions to run BOINC from the Home folder. It acts as though it's Not finding OpenCL even though the CPU was showing OpenCL. If you haven't run clinfo yet, run clinfo in the terminal and see if it's listing 2 GPUs and a CPU. Also, look in the old boinc-client/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu folder, find the ATI OpenCL App and run ldd on it to see if it's finding libOpenCL.so.1.

Since you are running Ubuntu 14.04.x there is a Known Ubuntu Verified Bug that causes the xorg.conf to be overwritten on each boot. This will prevent initializing one of the GPUs, I can verify this Bug affects my ATI systems, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1310489 ...I'm on that list. You might as well apply the simple fix just in case that makes a difference. All you have to do is add some comments Exactly where this post indicates they should go. I can verify this also fixes the problem on my Ubuntu 14.04.x systems, http://askubuntu.com/questions/453902/problem-in-setting-up-amd-dual-graphics-trinity-radeon-hd-7660g-and-thames-ra/477006#477006 There is an Option B in that post, but I've never tried it. I applied Option A.

No go, still not detecting the GPU's.

I am beginning to think it is an OpenCL issue or something. I tried to install OpenCL 2.0 but I cannot get it to install as it keep telling me that I am missing the Kernel Headers.

But as far as I can tell they are there.

Yep, No OpenCL and Other problems as well. To install the drivers from AMD you must install a list of pre-requisites. Go to usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log and it will show a list of the Files you need to Install.
Somehow you have corrupted kernel headers to boot.
Are you still working Headless or do you have a monitor? It would be easier with a monitor...maybe.
You need to remove the fglrx drivers that are somehow showing OpenCL on the CPU but says no usable platforms. If it were me I'd switch to the console, login, then stop lightdm with sudo stop lightdm
and then remove the fglrx drivers with sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*
Then I'd install the Repository drivers that don't require pre-requisites, sudo apt-get install fglrx
Reboot, and work from the monitor. You are probably going to have to boot to an earlier kernel, then go to /boot and remove all the files that have 4.4.0-57 in the name. Then you can reinstall the 4.4.0-57 headers.
Maybe Juha has a better method. If it were me, since it's a New install, I'd copy my /home/BOINC folder to another partition/USB drive and do a clean install. Then I'd copy my BOINC folder back to the New Home folder, set the execute bits, and BOINC wouldn't miss a beat once everything else was added back. I hate to start with a new system having such problems, there are probably more problems as yet undiscovered.

ERROR: Please install the required pre-requisites before proceeding with AMD Catalyst installation.

And before installing the required pre-requisites read the release notes to see what they are. Your kernel is too new. Even the last fglrx supports kernels only up to 3.19. fglrx is very picky on what it supports. You need to match Xorg (if you use X) and kernel versions both. You may have better luck backing to an earlier point release of Ubuntu 14.04.

fglrx used to use X to load kernel modules, set up device nodes and all that. Since 14.12 Omega it's supposed to no longer require X but you may need to run the first OpenCL program as root so that the OpenCL runtime can do whatever it needs. Read the discussion in Guide to run OpenCL headless, without X server and as normal user.

Yeah, I even tried 14.0.4.4 and 14.0.4.1 and still only seeing one card. I am beginning to think it might be the motherboard. I have two more identical ones, I am going to swap it out and give it a go. I also purchased an 8 Core AMD CPU and a Gigabyte Motherboard so when they arrive I am going to give them a try.

If anyone know places that sell used video cards in bulk let me know :) Looking to get 6 RX 470's. Those should work with the new drivers, kernel and give me a nice crunch base. Thinking of using it for the Seti@home Bitcoin donation campaign @ http://www.bitcoinutopia.net/bitcoinutopia/ if I can get them working.

Can you show us the 1st 30-40 lines of your BOINC messages?

Cheers.
