Problems running Boinc

Quote from: Lennox84 on July 12, 2023, 11:54:52 AMHas anyone successfully run Boinc flatpak with GPU crunching...?

Can't seem to run repo Boinc on Fedora 38 (Maybe building myself would be better as it seems likely a permissions issue but a bit above my Linux knowledge)

The flatpack works for CPU crunching no problem but it won't crunch on my AMD 5700xt (I had the flatpak on an old M4600 with an Nvidia m200 and it ran CPU and GPU no problem, but it was an ubuntu derivative hence my thoughts on Fedora being overly protective). It can see the GPU in the event log but it has computation errors and fails.

I don't know if I want to move to Ubuntu as my main distro but I'm pretty invested in building out a solid crunching farm and this issue is stopping my big rig to come only :-(

As always, all help is appreciated.
You need to be running the proprietary GPU drivers to be able to use them for crunching.  The open source ones just don't include the OpenCL/CUDA capability.
