It's good to see active yeast

It's good to see active yeast causing a rise of opportunities.

Did we get a cookbook recipe for migrating from Ubuntu 20 to 22 without having to tweak our boinc setups?

I never saw one except something about changing permissions on some files, but I don't understand why Boinc does fix that itself and release a new Linux version if needed

AFAIK, there is no tweaking necessary if you go with the repository version of BOINC.

Only if you are using a different version is some slight amount of extra work required.

The Linux Mint 20.3 Driver

The Linux Mint 20.3 Driver Manager has now changed to:
nvidia-driver-520-open (recommended)
nvidia-driver-520
Before recommended changed from 510 to 520 I tried the nvidia-driver-520.56.06 closed source version on several computers and have had no problems. The NVIDIA article seems to imply the open version is better but I'll never compile anything nor read the source code. The article says that future releases will benefit from the open version. Should I start installing nvidia-driver-520-open anyway?

Anecdotally, I’ve seen many reports of issues with the open drivers. Would avoid. The Nvidia closed drivers work just fine (with the exception of 515.76 with 30-series+HDMI)

It was probably one of those absolutists that hung the recommended tag on the repository :-)

Thanks guys, I'm sticking with the closed 520.

So, we installed the new

So, we installed the new Nvidia 4090 GPUs and now we have a situation where the systems won't boot. Systems:

CPU: Threadripper 2970WX

Motherboard: x399M Taichi ATX (only MB I could still find)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance (4x16GB) DDR4 2933

HD: WD_BLACK 2TB NVMe

OS: Clear Linux

 

These systems DID boot when using old AMD FirePro cards. We received the same message on both systems. 

When booting:

Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... Performing relocations.... done.

Booting the kernel. 

 

Then, nothing. It just stays on this indefinitely. 

When I try booting from the flash drive with Clear, I receive "rcu_sched detected expedited stalls on cpus/tasks"

I am assuming that it simply does not like the new 4090. The bios is up to date. That being said, I think there is a conflict between the MB and GPU? I tried a different PCIe slot- same thing. Oddly, in the bios, I am only given the options of "auto", "Gen 1", or "Gen 2" for PCIe? I know this board has PCIe 3 so I figured it would not be an issue. 

Anyone have ideas?
