Title: Problem: ubuntu 11.10 cgminer latest
Post by: Chefnet on March 14, 2012, 03:09:17 PM
hi,

sorry i have searched the forum but not found it.
I have a rig with various cards (5870, 2x5850, 5970). Just installed with the guide from cgminer. When I want to mine only with 1 gpu all is okay, if I wnt to do it with all my hasrate is about 350mh/s overall cards?? I could not find what's wrong.
SDK 2.4
AMD 11.8 (fglrx)
Sempron 140
MSI 890FXA-GD70
2 gb ram
usb stick with 11.10
cgminer 2.3.1-2

Thank you for your help or link to the discussion I have not found.

Did you run?

sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial

yes I have run.
And why should I use 11.04?

Is there no one with more ideas?

export  of display was done before.
No one else with such a problem, and why is bamt not running?

yes I have run.

run it again after you added (or removed) a card, then reboot, then try again. You may also try with -f

sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial -f

so I have tested all, but it is all time the same.
Now I see the cpu (Sempron 140) is at 100% while mining. Is this the bottleneck?

You got AMD 11.8 (fglrx)


Why don't you install 11.6?

Oh, so all cards do show up in cgminer? Then yes, you could be running in to the infamous cpu % bug.
Try this:

export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1

then run cgminer.  If that doesnt work, is there a reason you arent using BAMT?

Driver versions 11.7 to 11.10 on linux have high CPU usage of their own. Use either 11.6 or 11.11+ but be aware of the performance loss that comes with upgrading to a 12.x driver and the new SDK that comes with it.

You can sort of cancel out that loss by using the diablo kernel in cgminer, at least it worked for me with 12.2 in lubuntu 11.10.

I don't think 11.6 works with Ubuntu 11.10.  Something about the kernel being bumped to version 3 makes 11.6 not install properly.
