mga8-64 OK Updated, rebooted. In BIONC log I see it notes: "Version change (7.16.21 -> 7.20.0) Log looks normal. Work units resumed calculations, including VirtualBox workunits. Communicates with BOINCstats Bam Communicates with projects, downloads workunits. Detects when "computer is in use" __Not tested: § running as service; I start boincmgr in a self made script to start applications in optimal order, trigged by desktop (Plasma) login. § GPU workunits. For reason I have not cared to investigate, recently (month) all nvidia GPU workunits (openpandemics project) fail with previous version, maybe because I have an old weak nvidia card or something to do with kernel or nvidia support.

Hi Plasma x86_64 update with QA_repo = ok Service restart = ok Projects keep runnig boinc-manager and communication with online manager = ok GPU: AMD with openCL detected All good for me! @morgan: if you are trying to run GPU calculation for World Community Grid, it seems this type of job is broken since their big update.
Ah. Yes WCG. I think we have tested this enough. Leaf package, and people running it use to be skilled hunting problems, if any.

@Morgan: to test your GPU, what about activating the GPUGRID.net project? It works for me.

@Christian: Yes it was working with GPUGRID (when I tested months ago), but the work units are a bit too heavy so I stopped them. Thank you for the tip though :)
