#1175 new Defect

Linux Debian nVidia GPU's aren't recognized in Boinc

Description

Bug: nVidia Tesla's don't show in Boinc but are known in Linux.

phenomenon: Boinc manager will display "NO GPU PRESENT" for GPU tasks.

cause: boinc-client comes online before the Tesla's are initialized. (my case Tesla's but might be other nVidia GPU's)

Solution: Patch /etc/init.d/boinc-client; stop boinc-client introduce a 30 second delay start boinc-client. This gives Linux sufficient time to handshake the Tesla's. (30 seconds is arbitrary but happened to work on my system)

Patched /etc/init.d/boinc-client script attached for your approval.
