When I try to start ./StarTools-Linux64-GPU, I see the window border for a nanosecond and then it disappears. No messages in the terminal. No messages in StarTools.log.
./StarTools-Linux64 starts just fine.
1.8.527MR2
Arch linux, Nvidia 4060 Ti, 128GB RAM, plenty of disk space, plenty of CPU.
How can I troubleshoot that?

Hi
Not sure how nvidia does its gpu stuff but It's working here with AMD under opencl on Ubuntu.
Try opencl maybe?
Cheers and CS

Sorry I missed this post. Yep, as @alacant mentions, you need a driver that is capable of providing OpenCL to be able to offload calculations to your GPU.
See if the command 'clinfo' provides anything.

Let me install opencl-nvidia and try again.
My current `clinfo` status is that no supported platforms are available.
Code: Select all
% clinfo
Number of platforms 0
ICD loader properties
ICD loader Name OpenCL ICD Loader
ICD loader Vendor OCL Icd free software
ICD loader Version 2.3.2
ICD loader Profile OpenCL 3.0

Thanks all.
./StarTools-Linux64-GPU now works
Installing opencl-nvidia was key
