Hi,
I think this bug (1140597) is really a timing issue at boot time. As
this seems to only affect ATI/AMD hardware I think that the drivers for
these cards either get loaded after boinc or they take too long to load
so they are not present when boinc tries to detect GPUs.
My first try to see if this is correct would be to insert a time delay
in the boinc init script and see if this helps. If boinc can
successfully find the GPU after the delay we need to find the script
that is loading the driver and instruct the boinc init script to load
after this.
If MestreLion would be so kind to try this out it would be great. You
just need to make some local changes to your init script and restart
your machine. If this is okay for you I will send you a line to add to
your init script.
@Gianfranco: does the boinc Ubuntu package use the same init script as
the Debian package? I only have a working Debian installation.
Regards
Christian

Hi MestreLion, I think this is the right place to discuss to.
Unfortunately you script has a bad behaviour for people that DON'T
have an usable GPU...
I don't like to restart boinc to everybody just because the might
suffer from bug #1140597
What do you think about?
My opinion is that there should a way for giving the right order to
init scripts, but I don't know at the moment how to change the script
right now...

in! :)
My C++ skills are a bit rusty, but I may be able to help, if not in
programming, at least in discussing strategies, approaches and
packaging.
Also, I've created a script (wrapper for boincmgr) as a workaround for
some of the annoying boinc bugs: not detecting a GPU at boot and not re-
starting boinc client after shutting its tasks, so maybe it will be
useful for you guys: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/MestreLion/scripts/blob/master">https://github.com/MestreLion/scripts/blob/master</a>

I'm sorry I mixed up the bugs. I meant 933354 GPU not found with ATI
Hdxxxx series cards in my post. I did some more research and think that
we may debug this with some
sleep 5
fglrxinfo >> /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log
sleep 5
fglrxinfo >> /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log
calls in /etc/init-d/boinc-client. In the end we need to know which
script needs to be started before boinc. I once read an article about
bootchart ( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.bootchart.org/">http://www.bootchart.org/</a>) which may help us in finding the
culprit on an affected system.
What do you think about this?

First: the debian and ubuntu packages (official) has NO delta, they are bit ideantical, so there is no problem in this case.
A different behaviour may have MY ppa's, since so much has changed between .27 and .54, and in my ppas the 5 seconds delay is already there.
So if you use debian and want to try my ppa you are free to use it (if allowed by dpkg, don't know).
Otherwise you can download from alioth pkg boinc the source tree and git-buildpackage it yourself :-)
P.s. the NVIDIA cards are affected too by this bug, but I think the 5 seconds delay almost fixed it for my pc.
