good!

you start darktable manually?

no problem, now we have something different to investigate :-)

Which libopencl1 library are you using?
(Note to myself: collect this info in bug-control, and the installed
icds, too, and /etc/OpenCL/vendors in bug-script)

Please install the ocd-icd-libopencl1 and clinfo packages from stretch.

unload the nvidia-uvm module (nvidia will stay loaded, so X can continue
to run)

(as root)
# modprobe -r nvidia-uvm

and now try clinfo (on the nvidia platform only) to see whether the
nvidia-uvm module is loaded automatically

(as user)
$ OCL_ICD_VENDORS=nvidia.icd clinfo
$ dmesg | tail

That worked for me, i.e. nvidia-uvm got loaded automatically.

If that works, try again unloading and start darktable with
OCL_ICD_VENDORS=nvidia.icd set
