It turns out there was already a bug reported for that. I added the new info to https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/1177 I don't know if I can spare the time to investigate but maybe someone on github picks up on this. ** Bug watch added: github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues #1177

I could reproduce this with an upstream dev build. It seems something is going wrong when calling execv() which is not reported back internally, thus the lack of error messages. I'm filing an upstream bug report on github. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

[Bug 1177433] Re: No usable GPUs (AMD) found

2013-05-08 Thread ChristianB
The underlying problem here is not with BOINC but with the way the driver initializes the GPU. It seems that for newer AMD/ATI GPU's you need an active x-session (aka logged in user). Usually BOINC is started via init-script at boot time but there is no user logged in. What you can do is to

We should continue this via mail (either personal or through a list). I just spend some time trying to find the problem for the freeze if there are images in notices which I could debug locally finding the bug for this GPU not initialized will be even trickier. -- You received this bug

I found the place in the code. In my opinion its best to just suppress the message display function in client/current_version.cpp line 85: show_newer_version_msg() and comment out the msg_printf_notice() call. This will not prevent the client from talking to boinc.berkeley.edu from time to time

This is only the check at client startup that checks the client state file. The actual communication is done in client/current_version.cpp: 30 GET_CURRENT_VERSION_OP::do_rpc() this is called only once in the same file at line 138. Commenting this line should prevent communication and never

Yes, that would disable the new version notice at all. This will also work for clients that already have a newer version in the state file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1140597

I don't think there would be any side effects by commenting the printf as this would prevent creation of the notice and changes to the sequence number. But as always it's better to tackle the problem at the root, which is what you did. P.S.: I'm already contributing with updated man pages and

This option is already available. Just add the --no_info_fetch option to the package init script of the BOINC client. I see if I can provide a diff (for debian at least). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.
