Title: 100% Stale Shares Post by: fortif78 on March 23, 2013, 08:02:22 PM I'm running cgminer 2.11.3 on linux and every time I start up and connect to a pool, I get 100% rejected shares. Can anyone give me a little advice on how to fix this? ??? thanks

Anyway, I've got a 5850 and 5870 running on this rig atm. Both are running at stock settings; no overclocking. I've tried switching the intesnitys on the cards to see if I'd get any response, but still nothing Title: Re: 100% Stale Shares Post by: ssateneth on March 24, 2013, 10:24:17 AM sounds to me like you're mining ltc and you forgot to tell it to switch to scrypt mode.

He still doesn't give much info, so keeps us guessing... Title: Re: 100% Stale Shares Post by: fortif78 on March 24, 2013, 02:26:42 PM I'm currently using 2 5850s on this rig, running cgminer with the scrypt option through terminal with the command:
Code: ./cgminer --scrypt -o <pooladdress:port> -u <username> -p <password> Doing some research I've noticed it could possibly be the cgminer.conf file. I tinkered with that a little based off of the post here: http://forum.litecoin.net/index.php?topic=639.0 my file looks something like (with the url, user, and pass filled in accordingly): Code: {Code: ./cgminer --config <filepathofconfigfile> Running it that way I get an extremely low hashrate, but will get accepted shares. An additional problem revealed itself as the computer locks as soon as cgminer accepts its first share, but I think that correcting the overall issue would correct that as while. --fort Title: Re: 100% Stale Shares Post by: Rawted on March 26, 2013, 03:05:01 PM Can you adjust your thread concurrency to 8000 and report back?
Title: Re: 100% Stale Shares Post by: fortif78 on March 27, 2013, 10:09:02 PM Ok, so I figured out for some reason cgminer just wasn't reading the scrypt command. Did a fresh install and now I am accepting shares.
The problem that I'm encountering now is that I can't get my cards to do over 150 kh/s. I'm running Xunbuntu 12.04, 11.11 drivers, and cgminer 2.11.3. Both cards in this rig are currently 5870's. If I push either of them over an intensity of 11 I get dumped with an extremely large amount of hardware errors. Adjusting the thread concurrency, memclock, and engine are either making no difference, or adding to the amount of hardware errors. So essentially I'm stuck with Code: ./cgminer --scrypt -o http://pooladdress:port -u username -p password -I 11 --gpu-fan 50 This will get me ~150 kh/s and a noteable portion of rejected shares. I've tried adjusting about everything I can in different ways with no luck at all. I've even tried different combinations of drivers + cgminer. Maybe I just haven't found the right combo? Has anyone run into an issue like this? --fort Title: Re: 100% Stale Shares Post by: crazyearner on March 28, 2013, 04:17:57 AM Ok, so I figured out for some reason cgminer just wasn't reading the scrypt command.

Intensity over 10 brings my hashrate up immensely but drives my HW count through the roof. For example, after running at -I 15 for 5 minutes, my hashrate is ~301 kh/s, but I've only got 2 accepted shares between two cards, and a HW count of 23 and 26 for each card respectively. ???

Title: Re: 100% Stale Shares Post by: fortif78 on March 28, 2013, 03:28:33 PM Update your SDK to 2.6 or 2.7 and delete any .bin files. Updated to 2.6. Upon running Code: ./Install-AMD-APP.sh Code: /sbin/ldconfig.real: Path `/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' given more than once Nevertheless, at the end it reads AMD APP installation completed. So I am not sure if those files had any bearing on the ability for the SDK to install and function properly. I then continued to run cgminer as follows: Code: ./cgminer --scrypt -o http://server:port -u username -p password -I 10 --gpu-fan 50 Cgminer starts and opens, but zero improvement. HW actually turned to 1 on my second card pretty much as soon as cgminer started running. I tried to increase the intensity just to see what happened; same thing as before. HW count just rises and rises. I'm so lost on what the issue is still --fort Title: Re: 100% Stale Shares Post by: gnarcoinguy on April 05, 2013, 06:04:00 PM You ever figure this out? I am having a very similar problem. 100% hardware errors with cgminer on linux. On the same machine in windows though it works fine... I've tried 6 or 7 different ati drivers now... I'm running out of ideas.
