I can never remember the correct location to put the GPU wrapper files. Where did you place them on your system? I'm pretty sure this error is from the client not being able to communicate with the CUDA libraries.

ya it looks like a cuda thing
I put the files in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32

BTW
I always used this guide
http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=6793#p67208
even when not using Ubuntu it always worked fine. but does not seem to work anymore, TBH I can't get it to work at all
 
Do you have cufft32_30_14.dll and cudart32_30_14.dll in the folding directories? If not I think I copied the wrapper files to here and renamed them.

I really need to write down my current method as the guides only tend to get me so far. Also I am currently running Fedora but I don't think much if anything changed from that and Ubuntu.

yes I have those files.
BTW I'm not using a Ubuntu distro. fudnutu started as a Fedora spin.
I used to use Ubuntu then switched to Fedora, and the guides allays worked on both Ubuntu and Fedora.
 
Try backing up those two files and copy in the two wrapper files and rename them to the ones you replaced.
 
just tried it, still no go.
I have no trouble folding under win7
but I want to fold in linux

I am running two GPU clients on my Fedora system right now, it's just been a while since I had to go through this setup process. I'll look around when I get home to see if I can find what I did that you are missing. It does work.
 
Well good. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I know it always had something to do with the placement of certain files which changed a bit from GPU2 to GPU3.

49 C is actually not too bad. IIRC my 550TI's were hitting almost 60 C before I added water cooling. Now they stay around 45 C.

its running @ 62c OC (1.05v) with the system running at full load.
 
NONONONONONONON NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I having the same problem again. The exact same problem
can anyone help

I have not clue how I fixed this. all I know is that is was something to do with cuda


edit
I was folding 100% fine the other day, but then I ran a system update and now I can't fold.
Going back does not seem to help :(
the update came with a new kernel.
