Title: ubuntu cgminer wont start help !!!
Post by: boondock66 on December 20, 2013, 10:15:48 PM
hi, im struggling with cgminer, im running ubuntu + 6x r9280x

when i put a config file in the .cgminer folder and start cgminer from .sh file i get fatal json error cant load config
if i remove config file and run .sh file then cgminer says - started cgminer 3.7.2 then just hangs there with flashing curser below

can anyone give me any pointers, i aint got a clue where to go from here

i managed to get the rig running for a day or two but it seemed to progressivley crash more and more + the card that the monitor is attached to kept not starting then saying sick

i have made about 3-4 fresh installs of ubuntu/cgminer/app-sdl/adl-sdk over the past couple of days but it still crashes on every boot, takes about 4-6 reboots just to get into the os

also having problems with infinite on/off loop on boot, does this point to insufficient power?

ive never used ubuntu before, is it know to be unstable/crashy or is it just me?

also is it ok to duplicate info i.e intensity gpu clock stuff like this in both the startup script.sh file and the .conf file?
