Fedora :: 15 X64 And Get BOINC To Use The AMD GPU
Jul 27, 2011
I have Fedora 15 AMD64 installed on a AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0Ghz, 8GB DDR3 1333Mhz, with a ATI Radeon HD5450 Graphics card recently installed. Problem is that BOINC won't recognize the GPU. I know the GPU is working because I've downloaded some MKV files from VODO, and I can play them while running BOINC at a fairly high level and they play fine (using Videolan as the player). Before I installed the GPU playback on the same files was impossible to watch, it was extremely jerky.
So now I need to get BOINC to use the AMD GPU, so I can upgrade my computation speed. And I need to get it set so that if I decide to do something that needs the GPU, that it releases it. I'm considering installing Neverwinter Nights on this computer. I never did finish the game before I dumped Windows

I've installed the Boinc 6.4.5 x86_64 using F10 update package from Fedora repo. The client runs fine using the CPUs, but doesn't fing the nVidia display processors. I've installed nVidia drivers using Fusion repo packages for F10 ( currently 180.25 ) nVidia display settings seems happy and correctly reports driver 180.25 in place as well as 9600 GSO graphics card and LCD monitor.
My objective is to get Boinc using the CUDA capabilities of my GeForce 9600 GSO graphics card and see some of the performance benefits advertised. Although Boinc client is running it will only use the CPU to do work. I have not been able to discover any flags or configuration settings to help Boinc find CUDA library files. I'm stuck at the limits of my knowledge. The following are the startup messages from Boinc. I'm assuming the fact that it can't find the library causes the inability to see the GPU coprocessor.

I've just recently started using Fedora again and have a question about BOINC.I see that Fedora 13 is using 6.10.45, but the latest recommended release is 6.10.56.What is the timing on updated RPMs for new BOINC versions? Or is there a guide to updating manually, which I've been unable to locate?

I am trying to set up my cpu freq. scaling to ignore BOINC. From what google has shown me this is done by setting a value of 1 for ignore_nice_load. However the location of said value does not seem to be the same in 10.04 as in the results from google. How do i set this or is there a better way to keep idle processes like BOINC from increasing the my cpu frequency?

I am running Testing with the liquorix kernel. Right now I have Boinc 6.10.52 on here. I have tried 6.10.58, 6.12.8 and 6.12.18 (all for 64bit linux). I have, for months, been running the 6.12.8 version. Boinc is installed in my home folder as it has been for nearly 2 years.
Rebooted after trying to test an Ubuntu LiveCD for the 11.04B1 (Failed big time). I turned off this drive in bios for that test. This has been done many times over the years of testing as I use a different drive for that and want no contamination of my main drive. I did have some problems booting that were corrected by reinstalling my fglrx-driver package.
The only problem is that Boinc will not run at all. None of those versions. They all behave the same way. Open boincmngr from menu and it comes up blank and "disconnected".Go to Advanced/Select computer. Has the option for "Debian". This is correct. Select that and enter the password for Boinc or the password for Debian and it tries to connect but does not.

I've been using BOINC Manager to run Einstein@Home for about a week now on Ubuntu 10.04
Before I started using it I installed the Cuda 3.0 toolkit driver downloaded off of nVidia's website. BOINC ran flawlessly until today. I don't know what changed, but now the status of my tasks is
"GPU Missing, Ready to Run(1.00 CPUs + 1.00 NVIDIA GPUs)
My card is a Geforce 9800m GTS

I've installed BOINC for first time (from suse repos). I'm worried about running BOINC as root. How can this be avoided? I'd first like to exhaust all options with the official opensuse repo version of BOINC. If I am unsuccessful, then I'll try the version from Berkeley website.

First problem:
apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-desktop
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Package ubuntu-desktop is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I have installed Ubuntu desktop on Ubuntu Server to get Boinc manager running. Now I want to remove Ubuntu-desktop.
Second Problem: /etc/init.d/xorg start : No such file or directory When the server boots i get a blinking cursor.

I installed BOINC version 6.10.17 through Synaptic Package Manager with no problems.
When I launch BOINC it opens fine and immediately asked to "Add Project".
I click next to select a project and everything closes, with no errors.
I have tried opening from the CLI with sudo, no success. I have uninstalled reinstalled with no success and even tried restarting the computer with nothing.

Is it possible to import an xorg.conf file from Debian to Fedora and have it work? The reason for this is that I have an older monitor that only offers 800x600 as the maximum resolution.

I have a Samsung N130 with a Realtek 8192 wifi card (possibly 8192e, I'm not sure) and I am trying to run Fedora 12 on it. I used to run Ubuntu until trying their latest beta and realizing it's not very good, so I looked for something else. Ubuntu was at least easy to get the wifi working with just a few quick commands that were written out, word for word, in order, on the Ubuntu forums. I tried openSUSE on here and it didn't have wifi working out of the box either but people on their forums refused to give me actual instructions and just kept bumping me from thread to thread with people giving vague advice or else just telling me I was looking in the wrong place. I'm hoping that someone can give me clear and detailed instructions on how to get this wifi card working. Keep in mind that I am coming from Ubuntu and so I'm not super comfortable in CLI, if I need to do some CL stuff I will need clear and detailed instructions on how to do that.

My laptop is currently running on Windows 7 Ultimate. I have a 320 GB HDD, which I have partitioned as follows. C: Drive as Windows 40 GB capacity and successively partitioned the rest of the drives for 50 GB capacity and left an unallocated space of 67 GB for fedora 13 x64 installation. The problem that I am facing is, that I am unable to install fedora on this unallocated space..even though I am checking the option for "Creating custom Layout". When I check the option for "Creating Custom Layout" Ive been shown with the only option to install fedora on the unused space on the HDD which is around 265 GB. I am also attaching a screen shot of my disk management. how I can install Fedora on this unallocated space of 67 GB?

This post is for an HP parallel printer but I think it should work for at least "some" other parallel printers.I am sure that someone smarter than me will follow up this post with a "well, just do this and that" and you will have your HP Laserjet 6P printer ready to go, but since questions litter the forums of MANY distros on how to get "at least" an HP parallel printer to work, I'll post this anyway.This may or may not work for you if you do not have an HP but you can try it.The install printer box will let you do an install for an HP Parallel and it asks for how it is to talk to it, through CUPS sock or "local host'. When we get through what I recommend you should chose "local host".

I'm setting up my first Linux install and I was wondering if I would be able to boot Fedora from a CD while keeping every other file on my computer, or in other words if I would be able to put the /boot partition onto a cd. I've also read that Linux can be booted entirely from a logical partition. If that's true then can anyone help me in setting that up. Mostly my problem is I already have four primary partitions, one being a logical drive with plenty of free space in it, and I can't get rid of the primary partitions I already have.

If any of you have successfully created a video hosting server with Fedora, can you give me any ideas of what software to get and how to configure it and so on? Or, if you have been unsuccessful, can you tell me what doen't work?

I have a Western Digital Pasport 320 GB hard drive. I wanted to create a live installation on it like a USB stick. I wanted it to serve as a portable OS that I could use to boot any other computer off of, and use it for diagnostics and anti-virus scanning on Windows based computers. The additional space is for my own personal use, kind of like having a mobile desktop where I have all of my documents in one place.What I need to know is how to set up Fedora 11 so that the hard drive will boot on most PCs regardless of their architecture. I also need to know what's a good Anti-virus to install onto it for the sake of fixing Windows hard drives.
Please keep in mind I'm a noob when it comes down to a lot of things, so if there's an antivirus I have to install manually, please included a step by step.

I have Fedora 8 and we just switched over from a Windows "File Server" to Windows Server 2008 (10.1.1.17). I updated my fstab file and now when I go onto the Windows folders, I can list and read files, even save them, but new files are always read only.
fstab file (some, without the asterisks):
//10.1.1.17/USERS/Jeff/fs /home/mriuser/Desktop/fs cifs rw,username=jsadino,password=**** 0 0
I've tried ntfs-3g, auto, ntfs, smb, some umask combinations, changing ownerships, changing permissions, everything I could think of, but still can't modify new files.
[root@localhost tmp10]# mkdir tmp2
[root@localhost tmp10]# cd tmp2
[root@localhost tmp2]# touch tmp
[root@localhost tmp2]# ls -l

It's two days now I'm in deep troubles after my last "yum update". The system boots as usual, the graphical login pops up the normal way but no input is handled by either the internal keyboard (the system is a laptop), the mouse pad, the external USB mouse and keyboard.
The hardware itself seems to be working as I can pop up the BIOS menus and even edit the GRUB booting line. But, after GRUB there's no possible input. I've tried to boot the system with the Fedora 11 DVD, rescue menu and then chroot. This in order to run a "yum update" in the hope that the problem was in some broken update. No chance: there's no update.
My questions are:
1. Is there a way to boot Fedora withou any graphical interface from GRUB (or anything else to skip the KDE)?
2. Is there a way to have the (cabled) network activated at boot *before* the graphical login?
3. What the he** is happening to my otherwise pefectly working laptop?

I dual boot Windows/Fedora 11 on my Dell Latitude D830 laptop, which has an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card and I have just bought a Linksys WRT160NL wireless router. I am currently trying to set up OpenWRT linux on the router. Because of the nature of my problem I have also posted this on their forum.I am having trouble connecting to my OpenWRT install via Fedora. Things seem okay in Windows, but when I try to connect from linux my laptop locks up completely and I have to hard reboot. I previously have never had any trouble connecting to any other router with this install of Fedora.
