In this case Steve is trying to run an app (BOINC) which requires the proprietary OpenCL userspace driver, either from the old fglrx stack or the new amdgpu hybrid stack.
In the short term (until we extend amdgpu hybrid support back to SI) going back to a 14.04 LTS version would be best... in terms of still- supported-for-a-long-time versions that do not have 16.04 kernel/gfx would that be 14.04.1 ? http://www.ubuntu.com/info/release-end-of-life -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568233 Title: BOINC doesn't recognize AMD/ATI GPU in 16.04 despite sudo /etc/init.d /boinc-client restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1568233/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
