Hmmm. About the Message..... The "System Error" message is part of the html. <div class="bx--row"> <div class="bx--col-lg-3 bx--col-md-8 bx--col-sm-4"> </div> <div class="bx--col-lg-8 bx--offset-lg-1 bx--col-md-8 bx--col-sm-4"> <div class="main-content-header__description"> <h1 class="main-content-header__title">System error</h1></div></div></div> So, There is no clue if there really is some sort of an error. (soapbox) I suspect that Kremsil does not want to expose what is incomplete - or not working.. (end soapbox) Jay |

No response from Universe@home. No response from project home page. ping -c 3 universeathome.pl -- failed BUT was able to browse around the homepage of the University of Warsaw. My guess: Internet problem. Jay edit: reported at 11:30 Eastern Daylight time, Saturday,25 March 2023. |
| 4) Message boards : GPUs : Nvidia/AMD Cuda/OpenCL on Boinc projects - which card to buy?
Message 102409 Posted 4 Jan 2021 by jay_e

Greetings, I have had a Radeon/ATI 7700 for many years. It had a good crunch/watt ratio. A few years ago, I bought an Nvdia card. Problems: An additional power cable is required. The cable provided is too short to reach the motherboard The plug of the cable provided does not match the the sockets of the cables from the power supply. I suggest taking a close-up photo of the plugs from your power supply. Going to a store where the employees can open a box to verify pug-socket mating. PS Also check the capacity of your power supply. Need an upgrade? Jay |

Greetings!! I am running BOINC Manager, Version 7.16.3 in Ubuntu 19.10. [edited] In ~/.BOINC/stderrgui.txt, the following two errors repeat: (boincmgr:2373): Gtk-WARNING **: 01:28:27.866: Negative content height -1 (allocation 1, extents 1x1) while allocating gadget (node scrolledwindow, owner GtkScrolledWindow) (boincmgr:2373): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 01:28:27.874: gtk_box_gadget_distribute: assertion 'size >= 0' failed in GtkScrollbar I *assume* that this happens when a full-sized window can't be generated on the desktop and a smaller window with scrollbars are needed. Anyone else seeing this? Can the error be ignored? Thanks in advance, Jay [edit] The same error occurs in Ubuntu 18.04. |

Hi there, My apologies if not pertinent. I saw this and thought it was a good overview. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cuda Hope this is helpful. Jay PS I use an Open CL library - with Radeon/ATI GPU.. |

Thank you all for your time and effort in answering. That clears things up. Perhaps an exception script could be developed that looks for words like 'native' that have triggered a response. Maybe? Or something like Floyd's idea? Thanks again, Jay |

Hello. https://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php shows that LHC@ home uses AMD GPU. I can not any sub-project there that uses GPUs. Anyone know if there really is one? Their FAQ says no GPU of any type. (last updated in 2015) If this is true. Can the BOINC project page be updated to remove the GPU symbol? Thanks, Jay |

Greetings, I was successfully using the mesa ocl-icd driver on Ubuntu Mate on Einstein with a Radeon 7750. (The driver that comes with Ubuntu.) So I think I have a fix for your #1 approach. My boinc logs says: Fri 11 Oct 2019 02:47:56 AM EDT | | OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 0: AMD VERDE (DRM 2.50.0, 5.3.0-17-generic, LLVM 9.0.0) (driver version 19.2.0, device version OpenCL 1.1 Mesa 19.2.0, 2048MB, 2048MB available, 512 GFLOPS peak) i use 'aptitude' for package functions. (sudo apt-get install aptitude) I just happen to like it and the man pages for aptitude.) Try aptitude search opencl and take a look. Here is what I get ( with the Installed flag) i mesa-opencl-icd - free implementation of the OpenCL API -- ICD runtime I would suggest suspend and stop boinc remove any other Opencl drivers for AMD that you have installed sudo aptitude install mesa-opencl-icd (check for any install errors) reboot (your regular video should still work) Start BOINC Take a look at the beginning of the task log and see if the GPU was found.. Oh, and cross fingers.. Hopefully, Jay ------- PS Sometimes, I hit snags. I am having problems with the Ubuntu Mate BETA release 19.10. But I have asked for help over in the Einstein forum. (I'm getting runtime errors.) Please post if the Mesa opencl driver works for you on 18.04.. --------- PPS Here are some of my successes and failures... https://einsteinathome.org/host/12201025 |

Arghh. I forgot "dropbox" is not what I am looking for. What is the public folder (URL) on an Ubuntu server where I can upload (global permission) of screen shots of the Whoopsie report? I could not copy the text from the report... Thanks Jay |

Dave, Thanks for your reply!!! The problem first started after a linux (Ubuntu Mate) update - so it started on the same version of BOINC ((boinc-manager and boinc-client). I neglected to mention that the left and right arrow (cursor move_ and tab did not work either. I had some more updates today and I retested - same visible results - but the boint-manager crashed. Only one entry in syslog: Apr 24 13:04:57 pc-14 kernel: [ 1324.751556] traps: boincmgr[2518] trap int3 ip:7fa9593e9ea1 sp:7fff92a90350 error:0 in libglib-2.0.so.0.5600.4[7fa959398000+114000] "Whoopsie" made a detailed report. I'll try to include screenshots in a dropbox, or... soon I'll finish current WU, and try newer BOIC and Ubuntu Mate. (I was on a long-trm support version.) [edited] Should I look into a problem report? Or, do you think one already exists? OBTW, only 1 GPU and 3 of 8 CPU were active. CPU temp about 50C. Thanks again!! Jay Thanks again, Jay |
