	Hello I am using the 190.32 drivers on a 295gtx in on ubuntu 9.04 x64 with boinc x.36. Whenever I load boinc, I get the no cuda devices found stuff. But I have read threads where other have this working. Are there some settings im missing or something?

	Are the binary drivers for Ubuntu from an earlier Nvidia version such as 180 or 185 installed at the same time as the 190 drivers installed from the Nvidia website? If you had the other drivers installed before, you may need to remove them and reboot.

	Running ubuntu 9.04, 190.32 driver and BOINC 6.10.6 on GTX275. works fine. install driver in this way: sudo sh NVIDIA....run --no-x-check when it will ofer to remove previous driver - say yes and then reboot (or restart X). that should works. If not - remove old driver usinf envy (it's in repos). download and install CUDA 2.3. Here I'm not sure if you need it or not, but "just in case" I've got it.

	Does it not find it ONLY on the initial start up and then find it if you do a: sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart ? Or does the restarted boinc also say no cuda. IF on a restart it finds them then the problem is with boinc starting before the xorg.conf has been processed thru this can be helped (but not completely resolved in all cases) by starting boinc later in the boot sequence via: cd /etc/rc2.d sudo mv -v S20boinc-client S32boinc-client If you get the same error again on the 'restart' then the prior posts are the right direction. Did you install the 190.32 drivers over the 180.44 driver from the repository by chance? That's another situation... I screwed that one up pretty good first time around and so did a how-to on it after I'd figured it out and did 3 correctly. I'd have to pull it out into a public forum. Lemme know if that's your scenario and I can move that post and give you a link to it. ____________ - da shu @ HeliOS, "A child's exposure to technology should never be predicated on an ability to afford it."

	cd /etc/rc2.d sudo mv -v S20boinc-client S32boinc-client With the above solution, on my system BOINC will usually find the GPU while booting, but not always. I tried adding also a sleep delay within the startup file /etc/init.d/boinc-client. With the above change plus the sleep delay, so far it has always found the GPU. The delay comes at a cost. Booting takes longer. In the startup file /etc/init.d/boinc-client, where it says: case "$1" in start) start ;; I inserted "sleep 5" for a 5-second delay: case "$1" in start) sleep 5 start ;; I also changed S20boinc-client to S95boinc-client rather than S32boinc-client. I don't know if my changes are healthy or cause some hidden problems. It seems very unlikely that they'll cause any problems, but still, my knowledge about this is very limited indeed. Use at your own risk.
