Hi @ninoogit,

It looks like your OpenCL context is not initializing properly in profanity-ether. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

1. Verify OpenCL Installation

• Ensure that OpenCL is installed correctly on your system.
• You can check available OpenCL platforms using:

  clinfo

  or

  oclinfo

2. Use the Correct GPU Driver

• Make sure your GPU drivers are updated and compatible with OpenCL.
• If using NVIDIA, check for CUDA/OpenCL compatibility with:

  nvidia-smi

3. Run the Program with Debugging Flags

• Try running profanity-ether with the --verbose flag to get more details:

  ./profanity --matching profanity.txt --verbose

4. Check OpenCL Platform Selection

• If you have multiple GPUs (e.g., integrated and dedicated), OpenCL might be selecting the wrong one.
• Try specifying a different OpenCL platform manually by setting an environment variable:

  export GPU_PLATFORM=1

  or

  set GPU_PLATFORM=1  (Windows)

5. Test with the Original Repo

• If your version is failing but the original profanity repo works, check for differences between them.
• Run both versions and compare logs to see where execution stops.

6. Try Running as Administrator (Windows)

• If using Windows, run PowerShell as administrator and retry the command.

Let me know if any of these help, or if you need further debugging steps. 🚀
