[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1568233] Re: BOINC doesn't recognize AMD/ATI GPU in 16.04 despite sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart
In this case Steve is trying to run an app (BOINC) which requires the proprietary OpenCL userspace driver, either from the old fglrx stack or the new amdgpu hybrid stack. In the short term (until we extend amdgpu hybrid support back to SI) going back to a 14.04 LTS version would be best... in terms of still- supported-for-a-long-time versions that do not have 16.04 kernel/gfx would that be 14.04.1 ? http://www.ubuntu.com/info/release-end-of-life -- 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

@ Steve Hawker We are sorry you are experiencing those issues. On the other hand take into account the context of this bug is very specific, and libre drivers will work better in nearly any situation. In fact I own a Radeon HD5870 and I have been using libre drivers much before proprietary ones were deprecated, because of their advantages. Modern cards even have better support than that. ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- 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'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

Which GPU are you using ? If you are running a CI or VI part (Bonaire, Hawaii, Tonga, Fiji etc..) then you can install the amdgpu hybrid stack which is replacing fglrx, and get the same OpenCL driver. If you are running an SI part (Cape Verde, Pitcairn or Tahiti) then we are still working on that support so staying on 14.04 for a bit longer would be good. For older parts (anything pre-GCN) you will need to go back to a 14.04 LTS install for sure. -- 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
