Re: Can't get my Radeon HD 5870 working

I got a step further after fixing the permission issue as described in viewtopic.php?f=81&t=33353 Thanks PantherX! But sadly it's still failing. I'm following yet another guide but I'm not able to figure out how to get the openCL drivers out of the amd install package (or even which package is t...

Re: Can't get my Radeon HD 5870 working

Thanks for your reply! I'm assuming the OpenCL needs to be fixed first Correct. You need to install the drivers from AMD, the open source ones won't work. Isn't that what I did with apt install firmware-linux firmware-linux-nonfree libdrm-amdgpu1 xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu ? If not - how would I go a...

Can't get my Radeon HD 5870 working

Folding works nicely with my CPU but fails to run on my GPU. I'm running a fresh install of debian 10. (I'm happy to reinstall if there is a better/eaasier choice since this machine is decidated to folding) I've installed the amd drivers according to this guide https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install...

Re: Both GPU and CPU have no work

PantherX, thanks! Let me know if this should be it's own thread (or feel free to lift it out if you have the option) It was folding away nicely to start with but after finishing yesterday it didn't pick up a new WU. Since then it's been waiting. I've rebooted my machine to see if that helped but it ...

Re: Both GPU and CPU have no work

Thank you for your hard work and I completely understand the trouble of keeping up with demand right now. (I guess it's a fairly pleasant problem all things considered!) Anyway, I'm also waiting for a new WU assignment for my GPU and keep getting "No WUs available for this configuration" i...
