For ATI users : I've found a simple solution with the ubuntu default install !!!
There are 2 reasons why boinc does not detect the GPU. 1) It start to early (before gdm) so deactivate th autostart via sudo update-rc.d boinc-client disable 2) It can't connect to xserver because it can't auth to the xserver !!! Simply type : xhost + in a terminal with your user then start boinc. It runs under "boinc" user and detect the GPU :) I've not tested it but a simple shell script like that at your start session should do th trick with the stock install from ubuntu : #!/bin/bash # Authorise "boinc" user to connect the running xserver to detect/use the video card xhost + #Just in case sleep 10s sleep 10 # Start boinc /etc/init.d/boinc-client start Be advised that "xhost +" is not very recommended in an open network environnement since it allow anyone to connect to your xserver. -- No GPU found https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/587426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
