Title: Can't enter GPU management in CGMiner
Post by: Vigil on June 16, 2013, 01:39:36 AM
I am using Ubuntu 12.10 and CGMiner 3.1.1. Every time I try to enter GPU miner to adjust settings I just get a black screen in terminal and the only way to get out of it is a ctrl+c. Does anyone have any ideas on why this would occur? Thanks.

that happened to me for a bit

i don't recall what i did to 'fix' it.  maybe lowered the aggression settings in the cgminer.conf file?  or deleted the bin files?     (or installed windows?  hmm)

Aggression is at 13, bin files gone, using Ubuntu and not looking back. It worked fine on my first couple installs.

aggression 13 seems a bit excessive to me

i use 8 or 9 in ubuntu and 7 or 8 in windows

anyway, this inability to pull up the gpu screen occurred with BAMT, so technically it was debian.    did you try it w/o loading a config file?

Oh, I am scrypt mining not SHA256.

No. I am running a BASH script.
