Several of my gpu servers cannot detect the graphics card
Several of my gpu servers cannot detect the graphics card ,I'm using Linux. I've tried using the systemctl restart fah-client.service command a few times to re-identify the graphics card, but it doesn't always work. How can I post my screenshots on this forum?

This forum doesn't host files such as screenshots. To post them, store them on one of the various image sites and link to that to display the image here in a post.
Also post the beginning section of your client log file. It can either be copied and pasted from the log window or from the file stored in the FAH Client data directory.

Re: Several of my gpu servers cannot detect the graphics card
Are you using an nVidia GPU?
If so, I needed to install the '570-open' driver within Ubuntu to get the GPU seen, see 'Not running on GPU' thread.

And you might need to run "sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev" on some distributions ...

Re: Several of my gpu servers cannot detect the graphics card
That would not help with AMD

The OP is classic "My stuff is not working, help" example. When will people learn to ask the question correctly while providing as much hardware and software information as possible...

Re: Several of my gpu servers cannot detect the graphics card
That shows that it is detected, and you seem to have gotten 1576 WUs with it.
What you are seeing is no work available error

So this is a normal error, sir?

Yes
When there is no work available, this is what you get

Re: Several of my gpu servers cannot detect the graphics card
What GPU is the one that is not getting work? There might be a temporary shortage for your particular configuration (there is a slight shortage for high-end GPUs right now), or it might be that the GPU is old enough that there are no projects small enough for it. The "no appropriate assignment" error is not a big deal. It just means no WUs are currently available for your setup, as muziqaz says.

Re: Several of my gpu servers cannot detect the graphics card
That's a species 9 GPU. It's very high-end so it is suffering from the current work shortage. The internal team is aware of it and a new batch of larger projects is in the pipeline.
