2) Message boards : BOINC client : Recommend BOINC 7.4 for Linux users? (Message 60274)

Hi,

I am packaging boinc for Arch Linux, and recently I frequently got e-mails asking about BOINC 7.4. Currently the download_all page [1] still recommends 7.2.42 for Linux x86/x64. I want to know if BOINC 7.4 will be recommended for Linux any time soon, or if there are any critical issues to prevent so?

Thanks a lot!

3) Message boards : Questions and problems : Incompatible with nvidia blob driver version 334.21 on Linux? (Message 52950)

Update:

Wrote a small test code (mostly copied from boinc/client/gpu_nvidia.cpp), which outputs 999 with 334.21 driver, but 0 with 331.49 driver. So seems an upstream bug?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
int main() {
  void *cudalib = dlopen("libcuda.so", RTLD_NOW);
  int (*__cuInit)(unsigned int) = (int(*)(unsigned int)) dlsym( cudalib, "cuInit" );
  int retval = (*__cuInit)(0);
  printf("%d", retval);
}


To test:
gcc -ldl test.c -o test
./test

I've enabled coproc_debug and get these logs:

Tue 04 Mar 2014 11:46:13 AM CST | | NVIDIA drivers present but no GPUs found
Tue 04 Mar 2014 11:46:13 AM CST | | No ATI library found
Tue 04 Mar 2014 11:46:13 AM CST | | OpenCL library present but no OpenCL-capable GPUs found
Tue 04 Mar 2014 11:46:13 AM CST | | No usable GPUs found


System is Arch Linux x86_64. Same config with the only difference is an older version of nvidia driver (331.49) worked with boinc flawlessly.

Any help will be really appreciated, thanks!

It doesn't look like I can just register an account for the wiki, so I have to put it here:

Link to ArchWiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/BOINC

32-bit libraries For 64-bit Arch Linux: (Grabbed from ArchWiki)

To run WUs (e.g. Climateprediction)
lib32-glibc, lib32-glib2

To show graphics (e.g. Several projects of WCG, Climateprediction)
lib32-pango, lib32-libxdamage, lib32-libxi, lib32-libgl, lib32-libjpeg6 (AUR), and lib32-libxmu

Thanks, I've got it solved after posting [1] to the WCG forums as you suggested.

Seems like a certification problem, but how can I solve it? Thanks for any ideas.
