Just found out that 12.1 was released as an unstable package a few days ago so I've installed that on all my boxes now and 1 is happily crunching away on an opencl wu

How do you installed it. I use this. http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Oneiric_Installation_Guide I make debs and install then.

My boxes are gentoo, all I had to do was unmask the unstable package and compile it.

It is pain to do this but maybe this help http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Fglrx

Can you try ubuntu on these boxes or it look a pain. Ubuntu is simple then others.

@HVMargus - thankyou for your help. I don't use ubuntu, but this may help you - remove the SDK then follow the instructions in the wiki for removing older versions of catalyst, then reinstall, configure and reboot (gentoo always recommends rebooting after upgrading catalyst)

Maybe we can get some feedback from those successfully returning results from 64bit linux machines with ATI/AMD gpus.

Guys, we just released v1.21 which adds some useful debugging info to the task/result error log. Please reset the albert project or wait until the next task is fetched. The log output of those tasks will help us to understand the problem.

Thanks,
Oliver

Great, so it turned out that the installation was flawed, most likely because of missing 32-bit compatibility libs.

Anyway, I hope we see at least some of those errors again on other systems as we'd really like to understand them and make BOINC more robust for these types of situations.

@HV Margus*: Please run at least one or two tasks before you fix your driver setup. This would really help us! Thank you!

Best,
Oliver

Are you sure you installed all relevant packages? Linux distributions might often split the original/upstream driver installation package into separate packages like the kernel module, the user space driver, the OpenCL runtime and the OpenCL ICD. Debian does this and Ubuntu could do it in a similar way since it's based on Debian.

Good to see that it now works for you!

Cheers,
Oliver
