Issues with 7970 + Ubuntu
#1
Now, I suspect that this might not be a hashcat issue at all, but I thought I'd try this fine forum anyway...

Just build a new rig running Ubuntu 11.10 (x64) and with 2x7970. Latest kernel/updates as of today. I've installed the Catalyst 12.2 drivers according to the following procedure:
http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/03/how-to-i...t-122.html

When I run oclHashcat (lite-0.09 and plus-0-07) I usually get the following error:
....
Platform: AMD compatible platform found
ERROR: clGetDeviceIDs() -1

I say *usually* because sometimes after the systems been powered off for a while, it starts working. It works for a while and then, for no apparent reason, I get the same error again.

As I suspected I would run into trouble with this configuration in Linux, I'm also running Windows on the same hardware (dual boot). I have no problems whatsoever in Windows, using the same version (12.2) of the driver. But, I would _really_ like to get this running in Linux... for several reasons!

Anyone have any ideas? Many thanks.
