Title: AMD gpu on Ubuntu 22.04 Post by: Demontager on December 15, 2023, 11:15:15 AM Hello, i have amd rx6800 gpu and i just want to test it to mine something. The card was second hand so i want to know if it works in mining too.
I have registered on nicehash and found that no any Linux software available except dedicated nicehash distro. As far as i know cgminer 4.9.2 which available via apt no more works for GPU. Title: Re: AMD gpu on Ubuntu 22.04 Post by: BitMaxz on December 15, 2023, 05:27:08 PM Yes, you can mine with that GPU check the list of coins you can mine with this GPU below.

If this is only one GPU in one rig you can make a bootable hiveOS because most of the mining software is already there and it's free for 1 rig. Title: Re: AMD gpu on Ubuntu 22.04 Post by: JayDDee on December 15, 2023, 07:32:20 PM I have registered on nicehash and found that no any Linux software available except dedicated nicehash distro. WTF??? There are around 15 different threads on the first page of this forum offereing software to mine with.

I know that i may mine on that GPU, i wanted to ask about which software could be used on ubuntu 22.04 nowadays to test mining.Also i know about dedicated mining OS-es based on Linux, but i want to try it on above system.

There are so many mining software programs in the first few pages of this board. All you need to do is just a few clicks here and there, and you could get what you want. Linux OS can't be that unpopular? ;D Title: Re: AMD gpu on Ubuntu 22.04 Post by: Kareli on December 19, 2023, 11:33:13 PM Use Nobara Linux
install steam "so many gpu support one click installed" install rocm "computing support for mining" install corectrl "Gpu management in linux" install any Gpu miner linux edition Title: Re: AMD gpu on Ubuntu 22.04 Post by: Kareli on December 31, 2023, 11:36:45 PM With Nobara 39, the naming of "rocm" packages has changed.
The package that needs to be installed is "rocm-opencl-runtime" Title: Re: AMD gpu on Ubuntu 22.04 Post by: bobben2 on January 08, 2024, 07:30:38 PM Hello, i have amd rx6800 gpu and i just want to test it to mine something. The card was second hand so i want to know if it works in mining too. I have registered on nicehash and found that no any Linux software available except dedicated nicehash distro. As far as i know cgminer 4.9.2 which available via apt no more works for GPU. If you dont want to use ready-made software like Hive-os etc, but would like to just install the graphics driver and run any mining program from the command line, then you can follow this recipe. It works for my RX6600 cards. Goto the AMD web site and download the latest driver .deb file from https://www.amd.com/en/support If you enter your GPU model, RX6800, then the latest version to download is amdgpu-install_5.7.50702-1_all.deb After this file is downloaded, open a terminal window, cd to the ~/Downloads folder and run the following commands to install driver: sudo apt-get install ./amdgpu-install_5.7.50702-1_all.deb sudo amdgpu-install -y --accept-eula --opencl=rocr,legacy --usecase=graphics,opencl Then edit /etc/default/grub and add these kernel parameters to it: Change the line where it says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash text noapic amdgpu.gpu_recovery=1 amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff" and save, then run sudo update-grub Then register your user id in the video group: sudo usermod -a -G render $LOGNAME sudo usermod -a -G video $LOGNAME After this you may need to reboot for your system for it to register your card. Then after that you can start looking at mining software like lolminer, SRB-Miner, Teamredminer... Title: Re: AMD gpu on Ubuntu 22.04 Post by: Kareli on January 09, 2024, 05:23:53 PM Are you going to make people who don't know anything about Linux do this?
Wow, it's a great idea. Most users couldn't even understand what I wrote. Title: Re: AMD gpu on Ubuntu 22.04 Post by: Kareli on February 26, 2024, 10:40:50 AM After installing the 6.7.xx kernels, "Corectrl" does not work on Linux.
It is more efficient to remove "Corectrl" and install the "LACT" beta version instead. https://github.com/ilya-zlobintsev/LACT Title: Re: AMD gpu on Ubuntu 22.04 Post by: 9TONNN on February 29, 2024, 10:18:02 AM Yes, you can mine with that GPU check the list of coins you can mine with this GPU below. https://whattomine.com/gpus/51-amd-radeon-rx-6800?cost=0.1&cost_currency=USD&sort=revenue24_desc If you choose the first one RYO coin then you can follow this guide below - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2126975.0 You XMR stak to mine RYO you can follow the Linux guide on how to compile this check the link below. - https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/blob/master/doc/compile/compile_Linux.md How many rigs do you have?

I could not even recover my energy bill and air-conditioning cost last month. Title: Re: AMD gpu on Ubuntu 22.04 Post by: Kareli on March 07, 2024, 11:47:43 AM After nobara kernel up to 6.7.7-xxxxxxx kernels

Title: Re: AMD gpu on Ubuntu 22.04 Post by: Demontager on April 27, 2024, 07:24:32 PM Have you considered what JayDDee said? Sorry for late reply, i tried few dedicated miners for Linux which ever worked for GPU and some already not working or having compatibility issues. For example gminer unable to detect installed amd driver. There are so many mining software programs in the first few pages of this board.
