GPU won't fold on 2 pc's with 750 ti's and Manjaro Linux

[TheElectronicGeek1]

Hi All, I'm preparing my main PC and my Dell XPS for folding month and while setting it up, I couldn't get either of the PC's graphics cards to work. They just sit there and say ready and keep attempting to start. I'm not super experienced with Linux but I've been using it for a few months now. I have the latest proprietary drivers installed on both PC's and I tried installing the OpenCL package which didn't seem to do anything. I tried setting opencl-index to 0 on the XPS which made the GPU say running for a second then back to ready. Neither of the PC's have said fail yet and I suspect they both have the same issue, maybe drivers or I haven't installed or configured something that I need. I've folded on my main pc before with the same hardware with windows 10, but I'm not installing windows on both just for that. The specs are the PC's called Main Computer and Secondary Computer, Dell XPS 8910 in my signature.

 

Edit: Log of gpu attempting to start posted below.

Here's a log of it trying to start the gpu on my XPS.

Try a reboot and if that doesn’t work try removing the fah package then reinstalling it.

Tried both of those doesn't make a difference.

Update Graphics Drivers? You are using the NVidia binary drivers and not nouveau?

They are updated. And I am using proprietary drivers which I've heard is required and nouveau doesn't work with folding.

I see you have OpenCL installed.

 

@Ithanul any ideas?

I don't need anything else to actually install opencl into the driver? Just install the opencl package? I had a error in the log that isn't there anymore that said something about opencl.

On Ubuntu I've had to install the OpenCL Development Package:

    apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev

Install clinfo

    sudo apt install clinfo

& Run it to confirm OpenCL is installed

Looks like it's installed. I'll try the dev version you mentioned.

Edit: pacman doesn't appear to have opencl dev, there's a 32 bit version but you can't even use your gpu for folding with 32 bit anyway so i don't think that'll do anything.

Alright nevermind then installing 32 bit opencl fixed it. Thanks for the help!
