Let me preface this by stating I'm a complete Linux newb. I finally kicked the shackles of Micro$oft off and emerged into Linux Mint, after trying a few other distros and eventually landing on this one simply because it seemed closest to what I needed. I have a friend who's been helping me with other software, but has zero experience with BOINC. So I turn to the forums that I've lurked in but not-often posted.

I digress. Here is the error I get trying to run GFN tasks on my RX 5600 XT AMD GPU. Happens on both 18 and 17-MEGA.

What steps should I take? What do you think the issue is? Any other input on the situation? (And yes I know this is a rather weak GPU, but I like to think everyone needs a double-checker, heh.)

An NVIDIA GPU replacement is in mind since I hear they integrate better into the kernel, but that's more of a Christmas thing, so anything to help in the meantime is appreciated.

I'm currently struggling on the same issue, not really resolved yet, but one thing that got me further was
- installing the AMD provided OpenCL software (messy, as I needed to install Ubuntu software on a Debian testing system, which left me with some slightly incorrect state, I think)
- deinstalling the Mesa OpenCL packages and removing the respective configuration, in particular from /etc/OpenCl/vendors

After that, neither clinfo nor the Primegrid software caused this particular error any more.

However, there's more to fix, probably...

I had the same problem yesterday with an RX 6700.

You don't have the OpenCL library with the default Linux Mint driver. Download the amdgpu driver for your video card from AMD here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-5600-series/amd-radeon-rx-5600-series/amd-radeon-rx-5600-xt
Select Ubuntu x86 and then 20.04.5 for Linux Mint 20 or 22.04.2 for Mint 21. Download and install the deb file. That deb is just giving you the amdgpu-install script. You have to run amdgpu-install to actually install the drivers.
There's a bunch of commands if you run
