Well, nobody replied. No problems. Maybe it was my system's fault, anyway.
So, I did my homework and tried to install that OpenCL, that is, the AMD
Calalyst driver for my Radeon 7730M graphics card. Running on my Dell
Inspiron 15R (and this info was the key for my success, after almost 24h).
After 20h of comings and goings, of almost deciding to reinstall the whole
ubuntu 15.10 Willy, I googled the right keywords and got the one and only
simple command that made the magic:
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-pxpress
Well, I must give credits to someone that told me to symlink /usr/lib64 to
/usr/lib:
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib64
sudo ln -s /usr/lib /usr/lib64
This must be done before the fglrx installation.
Great!
Now I have OpenCL working and I feeling an improvement in the overall
performance of darktable, even if I've used it only for a few minutes.
My doubt (and question to you, devs) right now, is that when I ran dt for
the very first time after OpenCL , a message flashed and i just could read
the beginning: " Due to a slow GPU .... bla bla bla..."
What could this means? That msg did not show again. Do I have to do
something more right now?
Thank you for your patience and help.
