Fedora X86/64bit :: How To Get Boinc 6.4.5 To Use CUDA
Feb 9, 2009
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 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 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've been trying to get the Nvidia drivers from the nvidia site installed by running-devdriver_4.0_linux_64_270.41.19.run
I have a GeForce 210 PCI Express DDR3 graphics card. I've recently screwed an old version of fedora trying to do this and ended wiping it and installing Fedora 15. I managed to get the standard setup working nice with dual screen support and Tux Kart working smoothly which has never happened before with ATI cards.
The reason i've tried to get an NVIDIA card working is so that i can try to do some development with CUDA. To do this i need to get the proprietary driver working. To get the install program working correctly i've edited the kernel options in grub.conf to stop nouveau driver which seemed to work. The next step i got onto was the need for the kernel source which i've installed. The program can't find this, even with a load of Symbolic links giving-
/usr/src/linux-2.6.40-4 /usr/src/linux /usr/src/2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64 /usr/src/linux-2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64 /usr/src/linux-2.6.40-4 all pointing to- /usr/src/Kernels/2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64
After following the steps of dozens of guides, i now cannot run games that need 3d support and i'm no further in getting the proprietary drivers working. Coding in CUDA is a distant dream after weeks of faff in my spare time to go 2 steps back and one forward...
Does anybody know how to do all this? If anybody could help me i'd be very grateful. I've never had decent graphics support in linux. Everytime i've tried it's ended in a horrible mess!
I apologize if this is a duplicate post but I was unable to find anything that addressed my question. Currently I've installed the nvidia developer driver (beta) found here:[URL]..
After installing the driver everything works correctly. Rebooting the system results in a hang prior to starting X. Opening a new console and running start X provides me with the following error:
Code: [ 103.884] X.Org X Server 1.8.2 Release Date: 2010-07-01 [ 103.885] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 103.885] Build Operating System: x86-10 2.6.32-44.el6.x86_64
[Code]..;.
At this point if I reinstall the driver and reissue startx, again the system starts up properly. Also I've noticed that after a reboot, my xorg.conf file is being overwrriten.
Downloaded from here: [URL] then ,it is 32-bit and I need to know what all 32-bit libs are needed as dependency for skype to work. I am on Gnome Fedora and purposefully selected static version of skype to prevent installation of libqt4.
I just bought sony vaio laptop(EB16) couple of days before.I had window 7 OS. Two days before i downloaded Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD & installed in my PC.Everything is working fine except when i play any video or audio file such as .avi, .mp3 from any player such as vlc player, movie player ,xine etc , i don't get any sound.I tried to search this problem in internet but still i am not able to resolve this problem.
Im trying to set up my 3G modem to recive and send sms but I had no luck so far
Code:

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.
Can anyone get the website below to work correctly with Firefox 3.5 and F11 64bit?[URL]...All I see is the background scrolling slowly and jerkily, none of the buttons at the bottom work. Reboot into Windows 7 and IE8: the same site is fast, smooth, the buttons work and the product details appear correctly in the centre of the screen.
I've tried disabling all adblock /pop up block options, ensured all javascript options are enabled and no change. Could this be a problem with the 64 bit flash player (installed from leigh's sticky thread) or a problem with OpenJDK?
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)
Edit: now working, thanks very much Leigh and Dangermouse.
Anyone successfully installed AIR and iPlayer on F11?
I've switched to 32 bit Adobe flash, tried Autoten for AIR and Dangermouse's advice for iPlayer: url.html but it's not working, and trying to install AIR from url results in an endless busy downloading graphic .
I assume my problem is a lack of required packages, though I searched the repositories using YUM extender for the packages listed here: url.html and can't see them either as installed or available.
i have a asus K8N-DL MB with 2xAMD64 opteron270 and 4G ram3x1TB drives in raid 5 using onboard SIL controllerand 2 SATA drives also on SIL but not raidedhad previously had F10 64 bit loaded whick workedtried to upgrade and failed (destroyed data)tried a fresh install low level formatted the 3x1TB and made them into raidleft other drives as is takes a long time to boot into the point of trying to find HDthen nothing found
As i just started to write scripts, i'd obviously like automize some actions, therefor i'd like to check the users system if its 64bit. Is there a function to check this?
were's a good start to get into bash scripting, the files i use as template gave pretty much good info, but yet i have no idea what i'm actualy doing
Iam trying to install F15 64bit but I failed my hardware as folow

installation media: downloaded dvd image burned the image installed correctly inside vmware and work as expected but the media boot to the first screen quistion and when press ok for new installatin the answer is a serious of errors messages (a lot of it). did my hardware not compatible??
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.
I have Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180 / 2 GHz processor. i just upgraded my system with 4 memory sticks i.e. 7GB of RAM due to my requirements. Now the issue that i am facing is that my 32bit fedora system does not showing and suppoting more than 3.XX gigs of RAM when i consult "/proc/meminfo", "free -m" and "top". Now i have done two thing, first i have installed a PAE version of kernel. In result of this my system become two slow with the following error at startup. Error: starting udev: wait timeout. will continue in the background <Failed> Secondly, i installed a 64bit version of Fedora 10 but still it showing not more than 3GB of memory. Also a kernel bug system alerts me of not supporting more than 3gigs of RAM and ask me to send that bug to[URL]
I've spent about 3 hours yesterday trying to get my GeForce 210 with CUDA DevDriver running on the 3.0.4 kernel. It was running w/o problems on 2.6.39-desktop (with dev-src for 2.6.37). [yeah, I know I should stick to what works - but I don't like it]
After uninstalling the old drivers I tried several ways for an installation of the new ones:
1. ./devdriver_4.0_linux_64_270.41.19.run on the new kernel (even manually navigating to the kernel-src folder)
2. ./devdriver_4.0_linux_64_270.41.19.run on the old kernel, with new dev-src &c. 3. XFree 280.16 driver on the new kernel with the new dev-src &c.
The results:
3. Works now.
2. did not compile telling me the source files were missing (obviously, as they were for 3.0.4 and not 2.6.39)
1. Aborted the installation with the following (excerpt from nvidia-installer.log)
I came across some problems. I need to conduct parallel computing on CUDA. I input "uname -a"and read these: "Linux BXSJC 2.6.38.8-35.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Wed Jul 6 14:46:26 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux". I use CUDAtoolkit 4.0. when I input: cd /home/bxsjc NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C and "make -i ",the computer returns
I'd like to write a Makefile for my CUDA/C++ code but I didn't know how things work with CUDA, I mean there is a nvcc compiler but I don't know what I've got to do with this. Do I have to firstly run nvcc and then g++ or only nvcc to compile my CUDA/C++ code ? I found nothing on the web explaining such basic things .
Today I got update notification. I type in terminal yum update, and get this error: Quote: Error: Missing Dependency: libnetfilter_conntrack.so.1()(64bit) is needed by package iptstate-2.2.1-5.fc11.x86_64 (installed) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I removed iptstate.x86_64, again run yum update, and than, ibnetfilter_conntrack got installed. I tried to install iptstate.x86_64 again, but i get Quote:
