Title: Woke up to my rig not mining Post by: siforek on August 28, 2017, 05:33:40 PM Yesterday I spent the day figuring out my rig, getting everything configured & overclocked :) This morning I work up to no internet connectivity & my minerfarm shows it stopped around 3AM. I quickly reset it & all is good now, my question is where can I view the logs & determine what happened? Typically /var/log is where I'd normally go in Redhat distros but this PimpOS/Ubuntu.
Also while I figure it could be that the overclock rates were unstable, it's far mlre likely that it's the wifi card (yeah I know, ethernet is far better). It's just that I don't have cat5 in the room I need it in. I already have a PowerLine in use for my solar panel & turning my old router into a wireless bridge using DD-WRT is great if I don't mind resetting it a couple times a day. Any help is greatly appreciated :) Title: Re: Woke up to my rig not mining Post by: Supercoiner111 on August 28, 2017, 06:08:57 PM You will need to start one at a time and troubleshoot through this try with no OC to eliminate then think about the wifi....

Any help is greatly appreciated :) It's not far more like it is your wifi card unless you have a Chinese one of very low quality. I would get one of these new things with 2 antenna's and coverage of up to 750 MBS. I had a similar problem like yours, that my mining rig would stop and crash and after carefully doing all the troubleshoot to it, it was one of the cards could not run for more than a few hours with being overclocked. Found it by trying one by one and let that at stock settings. My miner now runs from several days without a problem. You can try this too although I am not very experienced in mining with Linux. I have Linux Ubuntu as my second OS for specific purposes use but I do my mining in Windows which is run 95% of all time from me.

The thing is if it were really just an unstable overclock would it then disconnect from the network? I can see perhaps if it stopped mining because of instability, then disconnected from the network IF it was on power saving mode(which it's not) so that's why I really just need to look through the logs. My minelog is as follows. You can see where the IP goes from .95 to .96 when I change to wifi. Code: [PID]<minerfarm info> 2017-08-28 02:46:10Z: (FCTRL) database created. Is there any other logs I could be reviewing?

This is the card I have: https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/USBAC56/ If it were an unstable OC wouldn't there be a log somewhere showing that? Yesterday I tried copying someone else's OC configs & it was clearly unstable because it stopped after like 3 minutes & gave all sorts of errors in red lol. Now I've got my 1070s to 31.5MH at 100/1275 as someone on this forum suggested. They did say 1 of their cards they had to use 100/1225 so I guess that might be it. I'd much rather it be an OC issue I can easily fix than a wifi issue I can rarely troubleshoot. I have a good connection: Code: wlan0 IEEE 802.11AC ESSID:"Sonic-5220" Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>" Title: Re: Woke up to my rig not mining Post by: siforek on August 31, 2017, 07:56:48 PM Just wanted to post an update. Since removing the wifi & plugging in directly I've had no issues at all :) my 1070s are purring away at 31.5MH/s, 47C, 70% fan speed & I'm getting 0-1% stale shares :) I did see another ASUS wifi card at Fry's yesterday with way bigger antennas for 2x the price claiming "Ultimate Range" or some crap & nearly tried it but for now my rigs go in my dining room, right next to the fireplace where we'd have family dinners if we had a table :P
