Nvidia Cards under Ubuntu Linux (x64)
Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2012 11:24 pm
Hi Guys,
Got a question I was hoping I could get an answer for. I've installed an Nvidia Quadro card on one of my servers (With two more on their way!) and its working fine with the official Nvidia drivers. Boinc has detected the card, as has Seti@Home. In my event log, I can see that its detected it and it specifically says "Requesting Tasks for CPU and NVIDIA". My question is, Will it actually retrieve any work units for the Nvidia card? I saw something earlier which seemed to suggest I'd have to manually download/install the Lunatics software components to add this capability. So far its downloaded work units for the CPU, but not for the GPU.
