1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Mid 2010 iMac running Ubuntu (No Useable GPU) (Message 48996) Posted 5 May 2013 by OmegaHarvest Post: Thanks ageless I have run the linux installer but it just creates a BOINC directory. Do I just need to move this to /home/BOINC? Will the client still start automatically?
2) Message boards : Questions and problems : Mid 2010 iMac running Ubuntu (No Useable GPU) (Message 48993) Posted 5 May 2013 by OmegaHarvest Post: Been playing and noticed something. If I reinstall the client 'sudo apt-get remove boinc-client' then reinstall 'sudo apt-get install boinc-client'. Then use the manager and check the event log, the GPU is picked up! But if i then reboot, it looses the GPU again. Could this be a permission issue? Heres the event log, after I've reinstalled.

3) Message boards : Questions and problems : Mid 2010 iMac running Ubuntu (No Useable GPU) (Message 48992) Posted 5 May 2013 by OmegaHarvest Post: Hey! I'm slowly trying to get my 'obscure' workstations running BOINC fully so here's the first! I have a mid 2010 iMac with an AMD Radeon HD 6570M/5700 Series chipset (512meg). I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (x64). I checked up and it seems to be supported, yet I'm getting the usual 'No Useable GPU' error in the event log. I did have some issues with this card but have since reinstalled the drivers from the ATI site and now all is reported fine in jockey. I don't know if I've missed any setup guides for Ubuntu so apologies if I've missed an obvious step ;-) Heres the event logs: Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| Starting BOINC client version 7.0.27 for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| Libraries: libcurl/7.22.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1 zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.23 librtmp/2.3 Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| Data directory: /var/lib/boinc-client Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| Processor: 4 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 680 @ 3.60GHz [Family 6 Model 37 Stepping 5] Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| Processor: 4.00 MB cache Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| Processor features: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 popcnt aes lahf_lm ida arat dtherm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| OS: Linux: 3.5.0-28-generic Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| Memory: 15.67 GB physical, 15.99 GB virtual Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| Disk: 1.78 TB total, 1.57 TB free Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| Local time is UTC +1 hours Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| VirtualBox version: 4.2.12r84980 Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| No usable GPUs found Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| Config: GUI RPC allowed from: Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| \| A new version of BOINC is available. <a href=http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php>Download it.</a> Sun 05 May 2013 15:29:23 BST \| SETI@home \| URL http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/;

4) Message boards : Questions and problems : Computation Error (Message 48956) Posted 3 May 2013 by OmegaHarvest Post: Haha thanks Richard, that's twice you've saved me today. I set the variable, rebooted and now it's all running fine. I've got a few other machines with GPUs not being detected, but one for example is a mid 2010 iMac running Ubuntu. I'll look the specs up later and see if it's on the compatibility list.
5) Message boards : Questions and problems : Computation Error (Message 48953) Posted 3 May 2013 by OmegaHarvest Post: Further to my previous thread, I now have my gfx card detected, but all jobs fail after 15 seconds with a computation error. The CPU tasks are still happily running. Any thoughts on what might be causing this, Windows 8 maybe? Previous Thread: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=8348 Many Thanks

I have a Win8 x64 PC running BOINC that isn't detecting my GeForce GT 640. I know it's not a powerhouse but it has CUDA and it'd be nice to get it churning a long as well. I can't see anything obvious in the logs, but am I missing something because I'm on Windows 8? Many Thanks
