Under any distro of Linux this is standard operational procedure. You have to re-start the client after boot-up to be able to use your GPU(s). Seems there has been made an error in the sequence of starting processes by someone in the past!

The command is

#sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart

I've only had to do that with my AMD cards. My two boxes with nVidia cards ( 1 has 3 x GTX660ti's installed ) both start up with the system, all cards recognised and crunching straight off.

Intel IGP on Linux

Download the Intel-compute-runtime (aka NEO) files from Github and remove the Beignet files, as NEO is meant to replace those.
One small disadvantage: Beignet promises OpenCL 2.0 (but does not work) and NEO delivers OpenCL 1.2 on my Intel UHD 605 -but works....
On more recent/more capable Intel IGP hardware NEO does even OpenCL 2.1!

You can do even better than that:
Download the Intel-compute-runtime (aka NEO) files from Github and leave the Beignet files, although NEO is meant to replace those.
One small advantage: Beignet supports OpenCL 2.0 (but does not work as supplied in your distro) and NEO delivers OpenCL 1.2 on my Intel UHD 605 -but works....and then it appears that the Beignet files that you did not remove now also supply you with a working GPU, and it can be stronger one than the NEO one even. You can now either pretend to have two Intel IGPUs in your system, or disable the weakest.

I just have the Radeon R3 of one of my AM1 systems running under Lubuntu 20.04!

I have always thought that is was just a software issue, even though some 'gurus' declared that the AMD APUs are not supported under Ubuntu 20.04 variants when using the AMDGPU-PRO driver and then pointing to a list of supported cards where you indeed can find no R3 (AMD Kabini IGP on Socket AM1), R5 or R7 (AMD Carrizo IGP on Socket AM4, "Bristol Ridge"), VEGA 3 or VEGA 8 (Athlon 200GE, 3000GE, Ryzen 3 2200G on Socket AM4, "Raven Ridge"/Ryzen 3200G on Socket AM4, "Picasso"). I have always held high hopes for the Vega 11 (Ryzen 5 2400G on Socket AM4, "Raven Ridge"/3400G on Socket AM4, "Picasso"), as they present themselves as RX VEGA 11, but half the internet is full of people complaining they do not have OpenCL on their quite recent Ati/AMD cards and APUs.

What is at least one of the software based errors that has been made? I encountered when searching for "KABINI not supported in kfd" this article, that makes clear to me that the install script goofs up, producing a line KERNEL=="kfd", GROUP=="video", MODE="0660" in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-amdgpu.rules.

When you replace the two double == by single ones you get in the case of my Lubuntu 20.04 running Athlon 5350 on Socket AM1
