[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1568233] Re: BOINC doesn't recognize AMD/ATI GPU in 16.04 despite sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart
I'm using Tahiti so I'll be waiting. I tried to go back to 14.04 but ran into a whole bunch of hateful issues there. I really wish I'd never upgraded. This has been nothing but a complete disaster. I will never buy another AMD GPU again and I am utterly unimpressed by this "upgrade". The system knows I've got fglrx installed, why on earth did it not warn me about the black hole I'd be falling into? This is Microsoft-style nonsense. I'd come to expect better from the Linux community. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568233 Title: BOINC doesn't recognize AMD/ATI GPU in 16.04 despite sudo /etc/init.d /boinc-client restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1568233/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I stupidly went ahead and installed 16.04 after weeks of being told there was an "upgrade". What a complete lie. Losing a massive part of my system is in no way an "upgrade" 16.04 not only took away fglrx but also your ability to run OpenCL apps of which BOINC has a ton. So, bottom line, if you have an AMD GPU do not install 16.04. I'm probably going back to 14.04 and stick with Catalyst until my AMD GPU dies, then I'm off to NVIDIA. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568233 Title: BOINC doesn't recognize AMD/ATI GPU in 16.04 despite sudo /etc/init.d /boinc-client restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1568233/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
