Public bug reported: BOINC fails to detect the GPU of the AMD A4-5300 APU.
With the OpenCL drivers and the latest AMD SDK installed it detects the CPU as OpenCL-capable, but not the GPU. 04-Jan-2015 15:26:43 [---] [coproc] launching child process at /usr/bin/boinc 04-Jan-2015 15:26:43 [---] [coproc] relative to directory /var/lib/boinc-client 04-Jan-2015 15:26:43 [---] [coproc] with data directory /var/lib/boinc-client 04-Jan-2015 15:26:43 [---] OpenCL CPU: AMD A4-5300 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (OpenCL driver vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., driver version 1642.5 (sse2,avx,fma4), device version OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1642.5)) 04-Jan-2015 15:26:43 [---] No NVIDIA library found 04-Jan-2015 15:26:43 [---] calInit() returned 1 04-Jan-2015 15:26:43 [---] No usable GPUs found There are various articles on the BOINC forums, and the various projects' forums, all giving advice that doesn't help, but this should really work out of the box. I am unable to get this to work at all. user:boinc is already part of group:video - video:x:44:boinc Also tried with 7.4.23 from PPA https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/ubuntu/boinc Irritatingly it did work ONCE running 7.4.22 (from the BOINC website) as the logged in user, but I have no idea why or how to recreate this. I tried setting "xhost +" too but this had no effect. ubuntu-bug refuses to report this bug. ** Affects: boinc Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: boinc-upstream Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: boinc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 trusty ** Attachment added: "clinfo" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1407452/+attachment/4292009/+files/clinfo.log ** Also affects: boinc Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: boinc-upstream Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1407452 Title: [AMD A4-5300] boinc fails to detect GPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/boinc/+bug/1407452/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
