I stupidly went ahead and installed 16.04 after weeks of being told there was an "upgrade". What a complete lie. Losing a massive part of my system is in no way an "upgrade"
16.04 not only took away fglrx but also your ability to run OpenCL apps of which BOINC has a ton. So, bottom line, if you have an AMD GPU do not install 16.04. I'm probably going back to 14.04 and stick with Catalyst until my AMD GPU dies, then I'm off to NVIDIA. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568233 Title: BOINC doesn't recognize AMD/ATI GPU in 16.04 despite sudo /etc/init.d /boinc-client restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1568233/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
