@xuanruiqi: Wonder why my 1050 works fine, may depend on the workload :/ I've added /dev/nvidia0 and /dev/nvidiactl to ReadWritePaths, please let me know if that changes anything.
@keithy: Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep looking into this as well.
@alucryd
It worked this morning without having to restart service. Sadly that means its random. Don't have enough data points to tell, but guessing from what I've seen so far its 50/50 as to whether it starts or not.
I'll try the systemd service alteration at some point and see if it makes any difference.
@alucryd: Yes I have all the requirements (cuda, ocl-icd, opencl-nvidia) and it worked perfectly before the changes.
@xuanruiqi: Did it work before the recent changes? Did you install all the requirements for opencl? I have the exact same card on my server and it works just fine.
@keithy: Hmm, what if you replace After=multi-user.target by After=default.target in the systemd service?
That fixed it, all working again. Thanks
I'm still having trouble with my GPU (NVIDIA GTX 1050), and restarting the service doesn't help. It just doesn't detect my device. Can confirm I have latest ver of the package.
@alucryd
I have the same issue as Pezlu - service restart fixes it.
Nvidia 1050 Ti on desktop
running latest 7.6.9
Thanks
Updated to 7.6.9.
@Pezlu: Is that with the very latest changes to the systemd unit? Desktop or server?
@Emil, Thanks, in an effort to make cleanup easier, I'd rather have everything in .config/fah so I added a unit to reflect that.
@igorselsking: The config is in /etc/foldingathome now. As for it to be reset, that's not exactly possible, although foldingathome itself modifies it and rotates it periodically...
@mnd999: Nvidia or AMD? Just added /dev/dri to ReadWritePaths as several sources indicate opencl on AMD needs direct access to the card. Please let me know if that works for you.
DNAblue2112:
Thank you! Could you please try the updated package? --exec-directory and --data-directory options were replaced with --chdir in beta.
Having an issue with the latest version. The error claims the dir doesn't exist which obviously isn't the case. I think this might be an upstream issue though?

To be clear, nvidia users need to enable both
foldingathome.serviceandfoldingathome-nvidia.service.
