Thanks again! After installing OpenCL I'm back up and running Amicable, Milkyway and my other GPU projects!

Hello, I've been running BOINC for 5 years happily processing on GPU and CPU projects and all has been fine. I recently updated to Ubuntu Linux 18.0.4 LTS and then 20.0.4 LTS. BOINC version: 7.16.6 (x64)

Now BOINC does not download any GPU tasks for any GPU project, and I used to run multiple GPU projects. CPU tasks are downloaded and run fine. I completed removed and reinstalled BOINC and added just a single project as a test, Amicable Numbers, here's a copy of the Event log:

When I first started BOINing, like five years ago I had to add the GPU flag in the cc_config.xml file. I repeated this step, "use_all_gpus" as shown below:

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<task>1</task>
<file_xfer>1</file_xfer>
<sched_ops>1</sched_ops>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</log_flags>
</cc_config>

However GPU tasks are still no downloading. I would appreciate assistance, thanks a lot!
