It appeares that Windows blocked the download of the .crt file (that I did in the BOINC folder). The .crt file I installed was the same old 219k version, while the new is 214k.

The WUs restarted from 0 after I rebooted. I rebooted because the updated CA certificate did not work for me, not even when I installed it manually -in a 7.16.11 client, so not an old one. The reboot did not work either...

I lost at least 2,448.00 credits, as BOINCstats reports:
"Current Credit based on incremental update: 17,471,798.00
Comprising 17,474,246.00 from the daily update + -2,448.00 since then"

Seems that I've uploaded since, as FreeDC has last update as -9,342 for me:
Sierpinski / Riesel Base - average -3,450
Sierpinski / Riesel Base - 780
Sierpinski Base -1,020
Sierpinski / Riesel Base - short - 700
Riesel Base -3,360
Riesel Base - short - 32

Was it my imagination or did I lose 200 credit?
I can't access Free-DC from China, so could anyone check?

Only two members of team AMD Users lost credit (in the FreeDC view), Paul_AMD and me.

I lost more than 100k in credit (probably around 130k just for TF) since yesterday.

Somewhat less:

TF -100,500 Sierpinski / Riesel Base - long -11,700

I have lost 421000 of TF credit in the crash.

-360.500, according to this page

My own loss was slight, compared to others

Sierpinski/Riesel Base -650 Sierpinski Base - short -840 Riesel Base - short -1,200 Sierpinski Base -1,960

I crunched only TF recently and credit for this subproject was lost. Total credit before crash was around 1,950,000. I can't be more specific. Sorry. And thanks in advance.

Your TF loss was -213,500

with ubuntu 20.04 LTS the nvidia-cuda-toolkit 10.1 package is present in the repositories

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is still in Beta, the official release date is April 23

Just copy the file libcudart.so.10.1 into your /lib64 folder (or whatever your distribution needs)

Last time 'just copy this to that' worked for me was under DOS. This is not DOS, this is Linux. libcudart.so.10.1 is totally unknown yet in the repo that supplies my software.

It goes even further. Under Linux, libcudart.so.10.1 is NOT part of the official CUDA 10.1 toolkit, not even of the official CUDA 10.2 toolkit. Both come with libcudart.so.9.1. You can only get libcudart.so.10.1 by adding an experimental PPA (Mageia) to your softwarelist. As libcudart.so.10.1 also has (inter)dependencies, merely copying the file in a directory will not be enough -but I wrote that earlier.

KEP, every info is welcome, we need more users which running into these issues and want to help to test. Lets see how we can fix this, linux opencl has a 100% failure rate and mac is using the same config. If we can fix linux then mac too.

Something tells me that you tried to port a Windows CUDA app with a bare minimum of re-compiling. Try to make the developer start from OpenCL on a Linux system (preferably with a Radeon card) for the next OpenCL version.

Funny thing is that the system with the A10-5700 has three HD6670 cards, and it own IGP, and crunches four of the GPU72 WUs at the same time.

I get the idea that in Radeon-coding the option '--device 0' just doesn't work, not for Linux and not for Windows.

-d 0

That is a code/compiler thing, not something I can change

you can use an app_config file but try in standalone.

I have no problems with running four WUs at a time, I have problems with running each WU for more than 12 hours, getting a few meagre number of credits, while the same GPUs bring me 300k credits a day on e.g. Moo! and double that on Collatz.
If I want it to run on just one GPU I can use

<cc_config> <log_flags> </log_flags> <options> <use_all_gpus>0</use_all_gpus> </options> <cc_config>

, but that's not why I have three GPUs next to my APU

Those four WUs will have been running on just 1 of the GPUs.

No they didn't, all four AMD GPUs were busy at the same time. Normally they run four Moo!, Seti, Seti Beta or Collatz WUs, or any combination of these.
The view in BOINC Tasks was just the same when running SRBase GPU72, all GPUs running.

GPU72 tasks for Ati on Windows keeps running forever for HD 6670, Radeon HD 7660D 'Devastator' IGP of AMD A10-5700 and HD 8400/R3 IGP of Athlon 5350.

check your stderr.txt in slot folder. The cards could be very slow.

I've aborted the lot when they weren't finished after 10 hours, 9 hours of which they were at 100% completed.

That's not something I can choose, it is an error that the code comes up with

What card do you have?

Error comes up using various AMD APUs (Athlon 5350 Radeon R3, Athlon A12-9800E Radeon R7)

Can you pls post also the opencl line from the BOINC event manager so we could forward this to the developer of the app.
