Note that with AMD cards, you must manually restart BOINC each time you reboot the computer in order for it to recognize the GPU. If you have installed BOINC from the Ubuntu repository (preferable to downloading it from the WCG web site), then the way to restart is: With my NVIDIA GPU there is also the problem that after a reboot BOINC starts so quickly that the GPU driver can't be detected correctly. Get a terminal (I forget how to do that from Unity Dash as I use a different user interface, but I think it's easy to find.) In the terminal enter: sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart You will be prompted for your Ubuntu user password. To avoid a restart of the client every time after a reboot you can insert the command 'sleep 5' into /etc/init.d/boinc-client as follows: . . . start() { sleep 5 . . . To be able to insert this command you have to use a terminal with the command line sudo gedit /etc/init.d/boinc-client After editing all will be perfect.   Ask not what the world can do for you - ask what you can do for the world. |
