I am the only user of this PC. And it happens even when I am working on it. Driver updated - no change, GPU clock lowered by 200Mhz - no change. Folding@home works flawless. I have no idea what else I could do.

What driver version is needed to use the CUDA8.5 (Linux) app?

Strange. My 1070 does not get better than 90% and the 1080 is even worse, maybe 75%. No matter how many tasks and the CPU/GPU ratio. As if the algorithm is not yet Pascal optimized.

But this gets off topic a little... maybe I should bring that question forward somewhere else.

GTX 1060. Am I missing something?

Working now.

Just had a short WU on my 1080 go for 9 hours and it was at 50% done. the GPU was idling. Other Pascal units had worked flawlessly. I aborted it and gave it a new one and it works again.

Same problem here. 76% for long time, GPU and CPU idle.

I still have this problem with maybe 10% of WU. Only restart helps - they are starting from 0% and crunching without problems. But I cant manually control it 24/7...

The download speed and stalls are common problems on this project.

Frequent but usually only for a few seconds. Long enough to wreak havoc with computers. You should be thankful that you live in an area that's more reliable. The proof is that there's about a 50% failure rate when this happens. Zoltan has posted about the problem too. If you won't believe anyone else, maybe you'll believe him. BTW, other than some factory OCs, none of my cards are OCed. In fact some are down-clocked.

Each distribution/version of Linux has different features, terminal commands and add ons which makes it almost as difficult moving from one distribution to another as it is to move from Windows to Linux. However, Ubuntu 6.04-x64 is a Long Term Support distro, so it's something you can stick with for longer. While the command lines might have changed somewhat, again, the GUI updates (via the Ubuntu Sortware icon and Sortware & Updates in System Settings) are encouraging.
At present 6.04-x64 LTS works for GPUGrid crunching due to the driver support for GTX900 series GPU's. The question at the back of my mind is will it support NV's GTX1000 series GPU's?

I copied the gui_rpc_auth.cfg from the /etc/boinc-client folder but I was not able to paste it into the home directory. The paste option was greyed out which means I have a permissions issue. Did a lot of searching and tried some terminal commands but have not found an answer yet.

Here is a more complete list of what I do to allow access to /etc/boinc-client.

Note that I copy a modified "gui_rpc_auth.cfg" into that folder, but you may not need to modify it. Also, it allows for creating (or changing) a "cc_config.xml" file, if you need to do that. I also use a "remote_hosts.cfg" file to allow access over the LAN, but you may not need it.

I have also included the commands to allow access to /var/lib/boinc-client, where the project folders are located. You will need that to copy an "app_config.xml" file into the GPUGrid project folder, for example.

-> Just replace "user_name" with you actual user name.

Join the root group: sudo adduser user_name root
Join the BOINC group: sudo adduser user_name boinc

Allow group to read, write and execute in /etc/boinc-client folder: sudo chmod -R g+rwx /etc/boinc-client
Allow group to read, write and execute in /var/lib/boinc-client: sudo chmod -R g+rwx /var/lib/boinc-client
Reboot

Copy “gui_rpc_auth.cfg” to /etc/boinc-client folder
Copy “remote_hosts.cfg” to /etc/boinc-client folder
Copy “cc_config.xml” to /etc/boinc-client folder
Copy "gui_rpc_auth.cfg" to the home directory
Reboot

Copy the "app_config.xml" files to the project folders in /var/lib/boinc/
