Re: Ubuntu 18.04 / 16.04 with AMD Rx 570s
Posted: Thu Nov 28, 2019 3:06 pm
I can confirm that this problem exists, and I believe it is an issue with the Folding@Home client. I am running into the same thing with my Ubuntu 18.04 installation.
My system specs are:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
Board: ASRock Socket FM2+
CPU: AMD Pro A10-8750B
Memory: 8 GB DDR3
Graphics: MSR Radeon RX 580 8 GB
HDD: Western Digital 250 GB
Power Supply: Seasonic Focus 550 Watt
I am using the latest Ubuntu Folding Client (V7.5.1). I got Proprietary Drivers from AMD for the RX 580. These are drivers specifically for Ubuntu 18.04. They are here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics ... eon-rx-580
I followed the install guide here: https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
I used the instruction to install all the open CL packages. From reading the release notes, this should have worked. I verified the existence of Open CL on the system using the CLINFO command:
As you can see, Open CL is installed and recognized by the system. However, the folding client does not detect it (although it does detect the RX 580):
In summary, I have a successful install of the proprietary AMD Radeon drivers for Ubuntu 18.04, which include Open CL. I verified that those Open CL drivers are present. Yet, the folding client does not recognize any Open CL Devices. What next? Is folding on AMD Hardware in Ubuntu impossible?
