Title: Installing cgminer 3.7.2 in linux Post by: SleezyPet on February 24, 2014, 02:30:09 AM So I've only been mining for about a month but I've acquired 3 extra GPUs and the rest of the parts needed for a full time mining rig in that time frame. ;D PTS got me into it all but now I'm looking to branch out some, so of course cgminer is a must.
I'm running linux mint 16 and all was going fine with drivers, overclocks, and the clpts miner for PTS. Cgminer seems to be not wanting to go so smoothly. From everything I have researched you need to extract the tar.gz file and then cd into the extracted directory and run Code: ./cgminer -n Edit: I'm willing to bet that all my issues would be solved if I could find out why I don't have the cgminer file in my extracted directory. So I know it's something obvious I'm missing but it's driving me nuts. I have done the obvious google searching for this exact problem and have yet to come across any solutions or suggestions. I also followed tried to follow this guide... https://coinaxis.com/index.php/news/entry/how-to-configure-linux-and-build-cgminer-for-bitcoin-and-litecoin I installed all the dependencies and I already had the AMD drivers and the SDK installed. When I got to the ADL drivers I ran into an error there as well after typing in only the second command listed (not to mention the ./audogen.sh that's suggested is again nowhere in my directory)... Code: $ mkdir ADL It seems as if that code was getting me to extract a zip from nothing so I'm not sure what was supposed to happen there. So I just tried to skip over that to the "Build Cgminer" section. I used the exact same code listed except my SDK is in a folder labeled "AMDAPP" so I subbed out the "AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8.1.0-RC-lnx32" in the code and subbed in the correct "AMDAPP" in both neccisary places. When I run that it seems to go through some compiling before I get back the start of the "Configuration Options Summary:" but there are only 4 lines of information listed as so... Code: libcurl(GBT+getwork).: Enabled: -lcurl Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe that's the simple thing I'm missing. Although I've been running the 290x and 270 fine with the clpts miner. Since that's a GPU specific miner, wouldn't I need OpenCL setup correctly to run as well? Title: Re: Installing cgminer 3.7.2 in linux Post by: SleezyPet on February 25, 2014, 01:32:55 PM So I have yet to install OpenCL exlusivley but as I suspected, when I start clpts the first thing it notes is something about using/starting OpenCL.
So nobody has any ideas? I guess my main problem is why the heck don't I have the fabled cgminer file in my extracted directory?

I will try to figure it out later - strange that no one gave an answer yet ;) Cheers! Title: Re: Installing cgminer 3.7.2 in linux Post by: SleezyPet on March 02, 2014, 08:48:06 PM Okay so after many re formats and moving over to ubuntu 13.10 I finally got the keccack version of 3.7.2 to work.
Now the last problem I encountered is the fact that cgminer was reporting 600-700kh/s on both my 290 and 290x even though they were only pulling around ~200w combined from the wall and had pretty much no load. I tried a bunch of flags from the litecoin wiki for my cards which did change the kh/s a bit but still wouldn't put a decent load on the cards. I'm out of town until Wednesday so sadly I won't be able to investigate anymore until then.

I go for I:18 but that does slow the desktop.

I go for I:18 but that does slow the desktop. It was on 20 but that seemed to be the general setting suggested, as noted @ https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison . Like I said I tried a large majority of those. I was also using max on the 1gh pool for testing it. Not sure if that makes any difference. |
