Aha! This appears to be the mysterious bug I reported to you a while ago, calxalot. Thanks arisu.

The difference is that if we order after graphical.target, the practical effect is ordering the service after display-manager.service, implemented by GDM, SDDM, etc. Display managers usually do at least one additional thing: wait for the CanGraphical property of systemd-logind to become true. Conseq...

I had some ideas to try debugging this issue:

If you can test them, you're welcome to.

I can't reproduce the compilation error. It works fine here. Note that you need to apply this cbang fix on top of version 8.4.9 to be able to create the package on Tumbleweed.

Excluding the -devel packages, which, in theory, aren't needed, installing the rocm-opencl package from the Fedora repository would be the equivalent, which you've already proven doesn't work. :lol: Have you tried installing just the rocm-opencl-runtime package from the AMD repository (it should bri...

I looked into what this AMD rocm-opencl-sdk package consists of in Fedora. It is an empty package that depends on the following packages: hsa-rocr-devel hsakmt-roct-devel rocm-core rocm-opencl-devel rocm-opencl-runtime Fedora packages several ROCm packages. Maybe it's a matter of figuring out which ...

Is it necessary? The client process is executed under the fah-client user account, which is already part of the render and video groups.

Up until version 8.4.9, the fah-client service has NoNewPrivileges=yes set, meaning any process running as a normal user can't escalate privileges, like running SUID root binaries. It's a crucial security measure, as nothing in the fah-client needs root privileges. Unfortunately, the Nvidia driver i...

Using an override (i.e. `systemctl edit fah-client.service`) to set NoNewPrivileges to "no" also results in the GPU working, as expected. Now, going by the systemd.exec man page this would mean that something in the code is utilising `execve()` on a setuid or setgid binary. Is there any c...

First, do not directly edit /usr/lib/systemd/system/fah-client.service. Editing this file directly is discouraged, as it will be overwritten during package updates. Use the command systemctl edit --full fah-client.service to create a custom service unit. If the EDITOR environment variable is not set...

I'm not sure if this is related to your issue, but since version 8.3.6, the code responsible for loading DLLs requires the KB2533623 update on Windows 7. https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2533623 Edit It has been superseded by KB3063858: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3063858 http://technet.microso...

The build instructions have been recently updated with steps for building a specific version.

I'm occasionally experiencing some name resolution failures here too. It disappears for a while, sometimes comes back, but always ends up working after a few tries. If you can consistently reproduce the issue, it would be helpful to install the debug version, add the following to the configuration f...
