Michael RochefortThat was interesting indeed. And the moment I was able to finally get Cuda up and running. Houdini was the only one refusing to work. And it could be that I wasn't using the LTS drivers. However, nVidia just released their new LTS drivers, the 384.59, which I just installed on OpenSUSE. Only a day too late after my switching. Oh well. I do miss the “dnf” (I know it's funny), but this distro -I dare say- is actually faster and smoother on the graphics. I wasn't expecting it to be honest.
That's interesting. I run 375.66 on CentOS 7 and pretty much all of my apps run fine. I'm surprised it's not working on Fedora, I've built up a habit whenever working with NVIDIA drivers where I enable FullCompositionPipeline and ForceFullCompositionPipeline in the X Server settings (You'll need sudo to write to Xorg). Other than that just set PowerMizer to Prefer Maximum Performance and on each login run `nvidia-settings -l` to load the config. You might need to activate coolbits though, simple enough.
Over in the Redshift forums it was discovered that 381.xx was unstable for us, so maybe there's some weird CUDA/OpenGL bug in that branch. I've only ever used the LTS drivers.
Another Redshift/Houdini user, Varomix, also recently upgraded from CentOS to F26 and his system is running perfectly fine.
Cuda and OpenCL appear to be working correctly. However, they do have a web where you can install the Cuda toolkit, depending on the nVidia driver you're running, which is quite convenient. On other stuff, I'm slowly getting around to learning the edges, being mostly an Ubuntu Studio user (and spending a few weeks with CentOS & Fedora).
And it would seem my lattice issue is mainly because of the current Houdini build, as you can see in the attachment. It tends to grab and move un-selected points… but the initial effect with the lines popping out was… electrifying!
Thank you again for the tip on the nVidia! I learn something new every day (and when I thought Wayland negated Xorg). It could definitely come in handy, as OpenSUSE is “orbiting” the RPM family, so they are pretty close. :-)
