Need a little help

Post by ajm »

Running Linux Mint 19.1 and had to roll some stuff back to the supported kernel and drivers, but in doing so I lost something and now when I try to render in Lux I get a clBuildProgram error and a never ending string of warnings in the terminal. Any idea of what I nuked? Some libopencl or something?

Yes, it is an OpenCL related error, so check if your OpenCL installation is working, for instance by running clinfo or LuxMark. Check to have NVIDIA/AMD GPU driver installed.

This is the output but it looks like things are okay to me, unless there is an issue with the null device type.

It looks right. Does LuxMark work ?

Can you post an example of the terminal output ?

I would, but I used Timeshift and restored my system. Now I'll just have to watch for the dreadded random reboot, however everything works now. The output as I remember was a neverending stream of warnings that referred to a path that included cmake, I doubt that helps much. Seemed like it was during the kernel compiling phase.

Thanks for trying to help, Dade. Great advacements by the team, by the way.
