1) Message boards : Number crunching : My GPU is hiding in plain sight (Message 1580) Posted 23 Jan 2022 by lennart Post: Thanks, but I followed the forum post you linked. Today I tried again with Ubuntu, also trying to make it right, but it still didn't do the trick (also with the drivers etc.). Seems to be my hardware or something. Anyways thanks for the reply :)

2) Message boards : Number crunching : My GPU is hiding in plain sight (Message 1538) Posted 26 Sep 2021 by lennart Post: Dear fellow Crunchers, I do have a slight problem concerning the usage of my GPU. That being that it doesn't do anything at all, BOINC related. It is there, but hiding away, I need some fresh inspiration. Here my specs (neofetch my good friend): OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64 Host: MS-7A70 2.0 Kernel: 5.10.61-1-MANJARO Uptime: 19 hours, 3 mins Packages: 1162 (pacman) Shell: bash 5.1.8 Resolution: 2560x1440 DE: Xfce 4.16 WM: Xfwm4 WM Theme: Matcha-sea Theme: Matcha-sea [GTK2], Adwaita [GTK3] Icons: Papirus-Maia [GTK2], Adwaita [GTK3] Terminal: xfce4-terminal Terminal Font: Monospace 13 CPU: Intel i3-6100 (4) @ 3.700GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Memory: 1340MiB / 7918MiB Here's what doesn't work: - rebooting the PC or deleting the project and reinstating it, if I set it up to GPU-only tasks it just doesn't get any tasks - changing the cc_config.xml which now looks like this (copied from some forum because the file was empty and I was trying things around) It looks like this: <cc_config> <log_flags> </log_flags> <options> <client_version_check_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/download.php?xml=1</client_version_check_url> <client_download_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/download.php</client_download_url> <network_test_url>http://www.ibm.com/</network_test_url> <start_delay>120</start_delay> <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> </options> </cc_config> <cc_config> <options> <use_all_GPUs> </options> </cc_config> My stdout file reads this (nothing new there, last entries are from the time when I did some experiments with the cc_config file): 16-Sep-2021 09:16:42 [---] cc_config.xml not found - using defaults 16-Sep-2021 09:50:30 [---] cc_config.xml not found - using defaults 16-Sep-2021 09:59:35 [---] Unrecognized tag in cc_config.xml: <use_all_gpus> 16-Sep-2021 09:59:35 [---] Error in cc_config.xml options 16-Sep-2021 09:59:35 [---] Missing end tag in cc_config.xml I also have all the drivers needed and followed the steps in the Arch Linux wiki regarding BOINC (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/BOINC), which seemed to have been working fine (the user groups and everything). Honestly I do not know what to do anymore to get my GPU running for BOINC (it didn't work with the GPU on other projects as well, but I really wasn't active there but only here). I would really like to both run the CPU and GPU, if possible. Any help is appreciated :) Cheers!
