Ok I got them working then I closed the console, but they continued working. Well I used stopmining.sh which worked. Is that the only way to stop them?
And the main problem - the speeds are half of what I should get. ~210 Mhash/s compared to 435 Mhash/s
I just found out phoenixQueueSize[0]="256" and I'm absolutely certain I pressed 1 as default during setup.

Additionally on my initial setup I answer 0 to this question: Which Phoenix device number is this card? (default: 0) But now when I though about it I think it should be 1, as phoenix sees my CPU as device 0 and my 4 cards as 1,2,3,4 |

Wow that you for your quick replies. I'm make sure to send you some coins when I mine some  Btw is this relevant to me? My rig will be in the next room in headless mode (no monitor) and I'll control it using Ubuntu Remote Desktop + Windows VNC Viewer. Do you want to use headless mode? This will NOT load Xterm at script open. |

Ok so this is the question where I just wrote some random stuff: If your cards use individual workers on this pool, just put anything here because it won't be used What's your Password on the main pool you use? (default: x)
If you use workers, just put anything, it won't be used. It asks the same questions for the main and backup pools. Do I leave that blank? |
|
|
|
|
During setup with ./configure.sh I used "y" instead of "yes" to answer the questions.
Is that a problem?

Thank you for your reply, but I think the problem is somehow related to screen judging by this image:  Also missing XML-RPC - is that a problem? I've fixed the 4 instances of phoenixQueueSize to 1 Should I run the configure script again? |

The details: 4x 5870 @ 960Mhz Core and 300Mhz Memory Ubuntu 11.04 32bit SDK 2.1 Drivers: 11.5 Phoenix settings: -k phatk VECTORS DEVICE=0 BFI_INT WORKSIZE=256 FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=11 or -k poclbm VECTORS DEVICE=0 BFI_INT WORKSIZE=256 FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=11 Poclbm settings: --device=0 -v -w 128 -f 1 Current best result: ~430 Mhash/s per each card using phoenix with either phatk or poclbm kernel. Using just poclbm drops to around average 428 Mhash/s So do you think that's the best I can get or is there any room for improvemements? Maybe SDK 2.4, but I read it is slower than 2.1 Or maybe the newest 11.6 drivers? Any other suggestions? |

Are you absolutely sure you have used the right type of resistors?
What are the color bands on them? Even better take a picture of the resistors when plugged in so we can rule that out.

I'm installing the Ubuntu from a flash drive to a flash drive, so the USB ports are definitely working. My concern was about the amount of power delivered to the ports, but if both USB flash drives work, then as you said it is highly unlikely that the USB Wifi Dongle is not getting enough power.
I will do more tests later on and will provide the logs.

Before posting the log as I'm very busy with an exam at the moment I want to ask: Is it somehow possible that this is a hardware problem? Is there any connection between the USB port and the PCI-E port? The video card is plugged in the PCI-E x1 slot on the motherboard using this:  Can it be that after the video driver installation the card starts to consume more power from the motherboard and so it somehow affects the USB ports? I strongly doubt that but decided to ask. The PSU is more than enough - Corsair HX850 for one card only. |

Ubuntu 11.04 32bit TP-Link TL-WN821N which is listed HERE as supported using the ar9170usb driver. So I've done 5 fresh reinstalls and each time after a specific step following THIS guide my Wireless connection gets corrupted and does not want to work. The last time I did all the changes in small steps so I can catch the offending one and so after I've executed the code below and restarted my system the wifi went haywire: On my next fresh installation all I did was: Up until that point everything was working just fine and I was remotely managing my desktop using a Windows VNC Viewer and Ubuntu Remote Desktop. The Live version of Ubuntu creates no problem with my USB Wifi dongle as well. I would like to stress out that my connection is configured properly and I am 100% certain of that - as I said it is working like a charm up until the point of installing the video driver and restarting. |

If you had a non ecrypted wallet.dat on the compromised computer, transfer all the money you had there to a new secure wallet ASAP.
It wallet.dat was encrypted, first transfer it (and only it) to a secure computer. Than as skull88 said.
I have a wallet, but since I haven't started mining yet there are no coins in it. Of f*** I so hate myself - I really don't want to reinstall Windows |

Wow.
It won't detect as a virus because its brand new. You are infected. Maybe someone will reverse engineer it and you figure out how to clean it up at a later date.
Until then your machine is compromised and possibly every account you have accessed from it.
Scrap the machine. Change the password to all your accounts.
I just found out there is an executable called xXXCFEA.exe that has outgoing connections from my machine and it disappears from the Task Manager list when I close the Bitcoin.exe: [xXXCFEA.exe] TCP 127.0.0.1:58531 Black:58530 ESTABLISHED [xXXCFEA.exe] TCP 192.168.1.105:54354 giraffe:6667 ESTABLISHED [bitcoin.exe] TCP 192.168.1.105:56397 www:https CLOSE_WAIT [xXXCFEA.exe] TCP 192.168.1.105:59214 mx1:imap ESTABLISHED It's located in C:\Users\CYPER\AppData\Local\Temp I bet that's part of the virus. Do you think the virus is so sophisticated that it can extract all of my saved passwords from Firefox for example? |

Well, call me stupid but I opened the file after I scanned it with MSE, so can you please tell me how can I clean my pc now, when no antivirus detects it as a potential threat?
Does it install any files which I can manually delete?
Run Mbam, SpyBot S&D and a couple of others and see if they pick anything up. And create a new wallet and move all your coins ASAP. I don't have any coins yet, as I'm in the process of building a rig, so at least nothing to steal. But do you think the virus is so sophisticated that it can extract all of my saved passwords from Firefox for example? |

I had a feeling this was a virus, but just out of sheer curiosity I first scanned it with MSE and then opened it. No antivirus detects it as a virus, so how can I clean myself?
I haven't started mining yet and have no coins in the wallet, but how would I make sure my machine is clean before I do?

With 3-6 cards 0ne problem is cooling and another would be power. Think of 4 graphics cards running flat out as generating as much heat as a kettle constantly boiling (but with no water in it). That heat needs to be removed, cooling is a problem. If you go over 4 cards then power is an issue, a 1.2KW PSU's may not have enough power for 5-6 graphic cards. Around 380Mhash/second is the maximum that people are getting from a single 5850 card. Provided cooling can cope with it keeping each GPU under 85 °C (no idea what that is in F). And you have enough power, at 207W per GPU that is 828W. Allowing a very slim 50W for the motherboard, RAM, CPU and HDD/USB and 90% efficient PSU. That would mean that you need to need a 975 Watt PSU. 1KW PSU in reality with a 1.2KW PSU providing enough for a 5th card. Some PSU's have different outputs allowed for each half of the PSU, so it could be a power issue that is not allowing the GPU's realise their full potential. If the cooling and power isn't there then the numbers will be lower, if the hardware can function. The GPU's will either start to cook at 95+ °C or if not getting enough power fail to work. 1 - The performance table is now outdated, because it doesn't take into account the latest improvements in the miners. A 5850 can do 400Mhash/s. 2 - 5850 is in all cases under 200W, around 170W, so 4 cards = 750W in total. |

You get heavy CPU usage under Windows when the cards are crossfired. But not under Linux. What is your exact motherboard?
And there is no way you can use 1600W with that system.
