Computer Specs: AMD 3700x, 16GB RAM, AMD Radeon 580 <-- doesnt seem to be picked up?
Network Connection: Cable
Operating System: Ubutntu 19.10
Software:
7.5.1 amd64 Folding@home Console Client
7.5.1 amd64 Folding@home 3D Simulation Viewer
I am unable to install the fahcontrol, ran directly /etc/init.d/FAHClient
I've tried changing config.xml to include a GPU slot, Im not sure but it seems to have been overwritten?
What is the correct way to enable GPU folding?
>> Also, when appropriate, please post the contents of fahlog.txt (V6 and earlier] or log.txt {V7]: this tells loads of information and is vital in helping to diagnose/troubleshoot problems.
Ancillary, where is this log found? Find / | grep isnt showing it anywhere
Thanks everyone, not really used to forums so forgive me if this is all very wrong to ask

Config file:
/etc/init.d/config.xml
Log file:
/etc/init.d/log.txt
Config for 1 CPU and 1 GPU:
<config>
<slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
<slot id='1' type='GPU'/>
</config>
Needs OpenCL libs
sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-libopencl1
sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-opencl-dev
And AMD GPU driver
/etc/init.d/config.xml
Log file:
/etc/init.d/log.txt
Config for 1 CPU and 1 GPU:
<config>
<slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
<slot id='1' type='GPU'/>

Thanks but I still cannot get it working. I did not have the dev lib but that does not seem to have been it. Your config.xml looks like mine.
Could not get FAHClient to run after stopping it. Reinstalled. It created one log file, which showed that there were 0 GPUs detected. Subsequent runs do not generate / append to the log.
