I found this tutorial.... Going to give it a try. For AMD GPU's only. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/11 ... n-windows/ That tutorial is written for Arch based distros, your Ubuntu distro is a Debian base. If you want to move over to Arch/Manjaro, by all means use that guide. But from looking ...

Chooch To operate or move properly. A word I've picked up from a youtuber that I used to watch a lot of, AvE - https://www.youtube.com/user/arduinoversusevil An engineer in deepest darkest Canada, doing engineeringy things in their garage/workshop. I and many others have learned a lot of new an int...

Final update, and we can call this problem solved. The previous posts that instruct to create a systemd service to manage permissions, do so by assigning the executable to a user named `fahclient`. For me, `fahclient` was assigned into the `nogroup` user-group, a group with limited permissions to mi...

In case anyone else stumble down this thread and wants to try running their client as root: First stop the client. If you're running the the standard install initd the command is: $ sudo systemctl stop FAHClient Or if you've already set up the systemd service for running with elevated permissions: $...

Just launched the FAHClient as root, started straight up and started running on the GPU!!!

So it was a permissions problem after all, even though I've followed all the guides to resolving permissions problems... Still, nice to have gotten this far! Thanks for your help so far everyone!

Not an expert in Linux either, but there have been a few install guides posted here over the past month or two. I am still on an occasionally used 16.04LTS install, so am not familiar with the changes involved going forward. Things that have been mentioned in later versions of Ubuntu include the fa...

… and Thanks for persevering with trying to get this working ... Honestly it isn't usually quite this tough … !! Haha! Yea the team I'm with is made up of a bunch of co-workers from my research center... Those running windows just installed the program, hit go, and immediately started ripping on th...

...Do you know any other ways of verifying the correct OpenCl installation/packages are present? In every way I can check, it appears everything is present and working properly, but F@H still fails. Unfortunately, I don't have sufficient Linux experience to help you... all I can tell you (which you...

Assuming that you installed the AMD closed source drivers (proprietary), you will also need to install the OpenCL package as you're getting this error: 06:23:56: OpenCL: Not detected: clGetDeviceIDs() returned -1 I have read that you can use this command to install the OpenCL package: sudo apt inst...

I've not yet tried that specific order of operations, however in the stack of installed software packages FAH is the most recent... I had a brief moment of madness when I changed my native python environment to python3.8 verses python2.7, which of course broke a lot of software that needed a 2.7 nat...

No appologies necessary, I'm feeling about in the dark here so any suggestions are welcome!

Although, I already have that package installed... I think I must have found another forum post that led me to that solution and tried it already.

Welcome to foldingforum.org, _The_Editor_ I'm sorry for the difficulties you're having. the message about OpenCL-index is confusing, at best. With rare exceptions, there isn't anything you can do except to figure out why you have a GPU slot that's trying to sync up with an unsupported GPU. In addit...

Yo, I've been at this for about a month now, trying to get my F@H client on my Ubuntu machine to use the RX 480 in addition to the CPU. I've got the client set up as a service in systemd as described on this forum (topic 33353) and when I check the groups of the system service I get: $ pidof FAHClie...
