Hi,<br>
<br>
could you please try if fglrxinfo is available on your system? If so
you could edit your boinc-client init
script(/etc/init.d/boinc-client) and add the following lines right
after the start() { lines (it's at 91 for me). Change the path to
this file to something you can access. I hope we can at least find
out how long it takes for the display driver to be detectable by
boinc (if at all we can find out).<br>
<br>
echo "\nstart\n" > /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log<br>
sleep 5<br>
fglrxinfo >> /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log<br>
echo "\n5sec passed\n" >> /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log<br>
sleep 5<br>
fglrxinfo >> /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log<br>
echo "\n10sec passed\n" >> /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log<br>
sleep 5<br>
fglrxinfo >> /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log<br>
echo "\n15sec passed\n" >> /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log<br>
sleep 5<br>
fglrxinfo >> /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log<br>
echo "\n20sec passed\n" >> /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log<br>
sleep 5<br>
fglrxinfo >> /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log<br>
echo "\n25sec passed\n" >> /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log<br>
sleep 5<br>
fglrxinfo >> /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log<br>
echo "\n30sec passed\n" >> /home/user/boinc-fglrx.log<br>
<br>
The LSBInit seems to be ok as the required-start is set to all
already. I hope that fglrxinfo will tell us if the GPU is not there
(yet).<br>
<br>
Just save and reboot, maybe power down completely and boot again and
send me the log it produced.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Christian<br>

<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.</font></blockquote>
<br>
Sure, would be glad to help. This is my personal machine, so no
problem
doing tests and booting it as many times as required. Just give me
directions and how to post results. You also mentioned
bootchart... I've
used it before to generate some boot PNGs (they are cute!) and I
can
install it here too, but I admit I've never took the time to learn
how to
interpret its results. But I can post them if that is useful for
you.<br>
<br>
And, for the reference, my system is:<br>
Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits, fully updated including precise-updates repo
<br>
Vanilla kernel and init scripts, never messed with them.<br>
Asus M4A89GTD Pro/USB3<br>
AMD Phenom II x4 955<br>

Hi MestreLion, I think this is the right place to discuss
to.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately you script has a bad behaviour for people that
DON'T have
an usable GPU...<br>
<br>
I don't like to restart boinc to everybody just because the
might suffer
from bug #1140597<br>
<br>
What do you think about?<br>
<br>
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...<br>

Whatever mailing list you guys use to continue this
discussion, sign
me<br>
in! :)<br>
<br>
My C++ skills are a bit rusty, but I may be able to help, if
not in<br>
programming, at least in discussing strategies, approaches
and<br>
packaging.<br>
<br>
Also, I've created a script (wrapper for boincmgr) as a
workaround
for<br>
some of the annoying boinc bugs: not detecting a GPU at boot
and not
re-<br>
starting boinc client after shutting its tasks, so maybe it
will be<br>
useful for you guys:
