Disclaimer: I know absolutely nothing about either Ubuntu or Mint, so take the following with a huge grain of salt.
Firstly, version 5.4.3 stuff, as shown in your logs above, is quite recent. You are using an older version of Mint (20.3) so that might be part of the problem.
Secondly, the error messages show 2 missing pkgs. Perhaps the install procedure you are using is assuming that Mesa provides those bits. I agree with Mointkidd that Mesa's OpenCL stuff will not work so you need to find those bits from elsewhere.
Almost 3 days ago in the other thread you posted in, I gave you a thread from the Mint forums where this same type of problem had a solution. Did you actually check that out?
Here is a quote from one of the messages in that thread:-
Quote:
I tried BCMM's script. It worked: clinfo shows my GPU device, and Luxmark and Darktable run fine. However, I cannot get DaVinci Resolve to launch, which is my primary use case.
The GPU being used there is the same type as yours. DaVinci Resolve not working is NOT a problem for running BOINC stuff. The link in that quote points to a lot of information about what might work for you. I did't go into it in any detail but I did see the use of amdgpu-pro-20.40-1147286-ubuntu-20.04.tar.xz. That is certainly the version of amdgpu-pro that should suit your Mint version. 20.40 is exactly what I currently use for providing OpenCL on my distro. It should be fine for you.
Yes I did.
I have 1 Binary Radio Pulsar Search (MeerKAT) running now with 2 more behind it.
Thanx Keith. I ask because 5.15 (Mint v21.1) has a set of B550 mobo (lm-sensors) fixes that would be nice... but... as of right now v21.1 also has a broken BOINC install. So for now I'm staying with Mint V20.3 and the 5.4 kernel (I'm sure these are things found at the bottom of the bag of microwave popcorn).

So not a likely move to come around soon.

I seem to remember that Keith posted a fix for that, it was broken in Ubuntu as well, but it's been awhile since he posted it. I am also on version 20.3 of Linux Mint for the very same "broken Boinc install" reason.
Don't remember what exactly is broken in Mint v21.1. Was it the permission issue with the local user?
I think so it won't connect to the Local Host at all even when installed in the var/lib/Boinc directory standard install
Was this with Mint's distro version of the BOINC install. I believe that Gianfranco's versions are working correctly from his PPA.
Comes down to editing the BOINC systemd service with an override file. Run this in a terminal and then reload and restart the service.

Running with BOINC 7.20 from the PPA now.
I have a new box coming up later this week so I'll try this to see if I can get that 5.15 kernel. I'll put the PPA in BEFORE I try the BOINC install as I don't remember if I did that last time... think not.
Mikey, (He'll try anything ;-) IF you get to this b4 me lemme know how it goes so I don't waste time on it if it's a no-go.
I went to AMD site and tried to go ahead and download a driver package for ubuntu 22.04 (Mint 21.1) but got the same package as I have installed now (which s/b for Ubuntu 20.4). The one we got working now on 5.4 (Mint 20.3) is amdgpu-install_5.4.50403-1_all.deb. Is it smarter than me (not a high set bar) and detecting the kernel I'm running? Or is there a chance this package supports both 5.4 & 5.15 kernels?
I'll re-do this once I have Mint v21.1 installed on the new PC come the end of the week.
I appreciate ya'll's continued interest and input on this topic,

PS: Since I've been doing "sudo service boinc-client [stop, start, restart]" for some time am I gonna be forced to start remembering to do such things with "systemctl"? Is this the future and I'd better just get with it?

IF you ever plan to run the SrBase TF gpu tasks then you MUST upgrade to Linux Mint version 21.0 or later as the GLibC_2.34 stuff is included. Older versions of LM use 2.31 and it's part of EVERYTHING in LM. There is ONE person who said they removed and reinstalled Jave but they didn't give the steps they took to do it.
What that means for me is I may have to start updating all of my LM pc's to ver 21.1 which is the latest as I really like running those tasks on older Nvidia and AMD cards.
