Where did you get the drivers for that new card? Ubuntu'd default drivers don't support all of nVidia's features. Search for extra (proprietary) drivers. (Then reinstall FAHClient) I got them for the AMD website -- Pretty clear which ones you are supposed to install there. Driver install and re-ins...

When you add hardware, you need to do a clean reinstall of FAHClient so it repeats the hardware setup steps. Yeah, I have done that several times. Not adding new hardware on this machine, I just put a single card in it, and installed FAHclient. I just did it again for kicks. The config always comes...

And it looks like FahCore_21 binary is properly pointed to an OpenCL lib on my system: john@folder:~/amdgpu-pro-18.50-708488-ubuntu-18.04$ ldd /var/lib/fahclient/cores/cores.foldingathome.org/Linux/AMD64/ATI/R600/Core_21.fah/FahCore_21 linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffed9f9a000) libOpenCL.so.1 => /opt/amdg...

Sometimes you'll need to install the OpenCL developer package for your OS. (Unfortunately the message about se...

Now to get this working on linux. I have pulled a single card onto another linux machine just trying to get it working to simpli...

I have had no success with getting my 6 AMD Radeon RX 570's to do anything useful with the folding at home client on linux. I have tried several versions of the amd drivers and 2 versions of ubuntu linux. This machine was originally an ethereum mining rig, and the claymore miner works just fine usin...
