Need help with gpu folding, Folding@home, Fedora 31, Nvidia, Nvidia rtx 2070

Figured it out, going to mark this post as the solution! The issue was the conflicting OpenCL libraries, I had installed. The toughest part of setting this up was figuring out what was broken. If you have similar issues to this viewing the outputs of FAHClient from terminal the terminal would help solve this issue. The types of OpenCL errors as seen below. OpenCL: Not detected: clGetDeviceIDs() returned -1 this error I think combined with the other errors I think helped people determine my OpenCL was the issue. Failed to start core: OpenCL device matching slot 1 not found, try setting 'opencl-index' manually looking online for this error gave prompted either no results or results that were for different issues I dunno what this bind socket means I wonder if it is opencl again @zlynx because it keeps spiting out opencl device issues 04:08:20:WU01:FS01:Received Unit: id:01 state:DOWNLOAD error:NO_ERROR project:14440 run:0 clone:741 gen:35 core:0x22 unit:0x0000003503854c135ea0a30138b78104 04:08:20:WU01:FS01:Starting 04:08:20:ERROR:WU01:FS01:Failed to start core: OpenCL device matching slot 1 not found, try setting 'opencl-index' manually 04:08:20:WU01:FS01:Starting 04:08:20:ERROR:WU01:FS01:Failed to start core: OpenCL device matching slot 1 not found, try setting 'opencl-index' manually 04:09:20:WU01:FS01:Starting 04:09:20:ERROR:WU01:FS01:Failed to start core: OpenCL device matching slot 1 not found, try setting 'opencl-index' manually 04:10:57:WU01:FS01:Starting 04:10:57:ERROR:WU01:FS01:Failed to start core: OpenCL device matching slot 1 not found, try setting 'opencl-index' manually 04:11:46:WU00:FS00:0xa7:Completed 320000 out of 500000 steps (64%) 04:13:34:WU01:FS01:Starting 04:13:34:ERROR:WU01:FS01:Failed to start core: OpenCL device matching slot 1 not found, try setting 'opencl-index' manually It looked like two. Try ls -l /etc/OpenCL/vendors/ That’s the configuration file the OpenCL ICD loader reads to find OpenCL providers. Then maybe you can do…

Got FAHControl Running on Fedora

In a past version of this thread, I had issues getting FAHControl working Linked below Need help with gpu folding, Folding@home, Fedora 31, Nvidia, Nvidia rtx 2070? and explained in the following quote After digging around the github page of the Folding at Home team, I found out there was a fix that solved the python compatibility issue If you don’t want to open the link I will quote it below as well The OP on the github had the following issues, I also experienced these a while back, but I never documented it FAHControl Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/FAHControl", line 25, in <module> from fah import FAHControl, load_fahcontrol_db ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fah' the solution was actually to try 2 things using python2 /usr/bin/FAHControl in the terminal or modifying the bin file from /usr/bin/FAHControl #!/usr/bin/python2 Funny enough it was a suggestion @draeh had suggested I tried posting here, but the suggestions to use didn’t work. When I took a look at the commit changes, it appears that they solved the python dependency error in March and committed a fix in April Looking back, I think the reason I got the initial errors in the first place was from not knowing to install the pygtk2 prerequisite. Debian / Ubuntu sudo apt-get install -y python-stdeb python-gtk2 python-all debhelper RedHat / CentOS sudo yum install -y pygtk2 This prerequisite is no where on the rpm downloads. If I have learned anything from this experience, it’s that a wiki for the project is needed. [Here's a bright idea] Here’s a bright idea, why don’t you link the github on the wiki so that when a new user can’t figure out why the application does not work, they don’t spend the next month wracking their brains trying to search the internet for solutions.
