Topic 196842

I don't know why Einstein just stoped working. Downloaded Jobs For GPU just sit waiting. But Boinic is working AT WCG and LHC using CPU. GPU is free....
BOINIC version from DEBIAN squeeze and GPU GeForce GT 320
Even when I stop WCG AND LHC Einstein is not starting :(

Einstein hangs

Is there something like "waiting for GPU memory" in the Status column (Tasks tab)?

A reboot might help.

Nothing like that. I checked status messages no error no information...
I already tried to restart Einstein....

In fact I have better idea : give up Einstein.
Knowledge in this community is pathetic, in fact those are basic thinks for preschoolers.

You can do that...
Or you can take into account that the people here doesnt have a ball crystal to know what your settings are and what your knowledge of BOINC is, and then try to explain what exactly happens a bit more detailed, prefferably including an extract of the the first 30/40 lines of the event log after you started BOINC...
As your hosts are hidden, it would also be of help is you post a link to the host page...

For now, if all your other projects are suspended in BOINC and still Einstein doesnt start to work on GPU and If I understood correctly what you said that the other projects run only on CPU then the first thing I cant think is that BOINC is failling to recognize the GPU... But without any other data is just a wild guess...

Hey Horacio I think I know what the problem is now but since Sylwester Zdanowski wants to insult us I will let him figure it out now...

That's the problem. It's BOINC by the way, not Bionic.

When you install BOINC from repositories, its installation runs applications under an unprivileged account and as such it cannot detect the GPU correctly, since the drivers will live under the user account. Thus any work that somehow made it onto your system when the GPU was detected, will not start as it's missing the GPU.

Want to complain about that, yell at the package maintainers.
Or symlink the required drivers to your BOINC directory. I hope you know how to use ldd.
