Two days ago I built pyrit from svn trunk (r263) on a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04. I have a Radeon HD4770 so I also installed cpyrit_opencl. Installation went fine, by the book, and in the end I got 3 "cores" reported:

Pyrit 0.3.1-dev (svn r263) (C) 2008-2010 Lukas Lueg http://pyrit.googlecode.com This code is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3+

The following cores seem available...

1: 'OpenCL-Device 'ATI RV770''

2: 'CPU-Core (SSE2)'

3: 'Network-Clients'

Today, on the exact same pc, using again a fresh ubuntu 10.04 installation (on a different partition), using the svn trunk again (r263) and the same installation steps, I cannot get the 'Network-Clients' core! Here is the 'list_cores' report:

Pyrit 0.3.1-dev (svn r263) (C) 2008-2010 Lukas Lueg http://pyrit.googlecode.com This code is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3+

The following cores seem available...

1: 'OpenCL-Device 'ATI RV770''

2: 'CPU-Core (SSE2)'

Could you provide some steps to troubleshoot this?

Thank you.

OK. Found out what "the problem" was.

On the first system, before building and installing pyrit from the trunk, I used the stable 3.0 version. That version has rpc_server option (in ~/.pyrit/config) set by default to true. Building and installing 0.3.1-dev (r263) on top on top of that version, the new pyrit uses the config file of the old version. So, 'Network-Clients' pseudo-core is there.

On the second system, pyrit was build directly from the latest trunk. So when it ran for the first time, it created a config file with a default setting rpc_server=false. So, no 'Network-Clients'. When you set the option to true, 'Network-Clients' is -of course- back.

Sorry for the stupid question. You can close/delete the issue.
