I made some syntax mistake in the bamt.conf file and the gpumon doesn't start (I get that funny error message), so I wanted to edit the file at etc/bamt/bamt.conf but.. why do I have writing permission disabled? I'm logged as a root and did not change any permissions, only thing I did was set a password. Any ideas?
what are the current perms on the file? if the permissions chenaged and you didn't do it, your usb flash drive may be getting flaky.

Yeah, it is a waste of your time to try to sort out why BAMT is failing, you're right.
Inaba, don't like it? Here's a solution for you. Don't use it. They are trivial to install and can be updated without the need to basically rely on you to provide updates.
Great idea! Do it yourself. I already made my point. With all the features of BAMT disabled, it seems to offer little beyond additional headaches for updating the software (without further breaking the BAMT integrated updating system).
So basically, you are saying that instead of working to improve the software and make it more compatible, it's better to try and belittle me with red herrings and barely alluded to "features." Gotcha!
Only for "speshul" people like you inaba. ..instead of working to improve the software
Way to show you know what you are talking about. Those of us that having been using BAMT know the truth. Because lodcrappo is being too nice, I'll step up and say it. Shut the fuck up inaba. Go find some other thread to troll.

I was considering this, but it seems you're a bit unhappy with smickles. Saw the feedback you left on #bitcoin-otc

so is this going to get some updates and/or support?
This OS is haunted as far as i am concerned. i can sometimes load it with ease and other times can't get past a blank screen with an underscore in the upper left hand corner.
I got a rig working today, had to add some fans and then went to reboot and nothing. Plenty of PSU power, etc. just wouldn't work.
i can't even get f'in BAMT to load so f that. i get to the boot screen and then a bunch of shit passes the screen and then black screen. Easy my ass. linuxcoin loaded easier for me the first time I used it.
Maybe BAMT is easy once it boots, but nothing is easy when it won't boot. I also see it's a little bitch with certain hardware. that just sucks, should work with everything.
people can bitch about windows, but at least it works.
You appear to be the type of person that needs to stay far far away from anything linux related. Go back to your windows.

If you think its OK to hop pools, than its OK for the pool to hop hoppers.
Backburn, The difference is that it's pretty obvious when hoppers are hopping a pool. But in this case, it was not readily obvious that the pool was not straightforward with the stats (or as you say, "the pool hopping hoppers"). You guys pretty much set a trap and enticed hoppers to join and hop the pool. The more ethical way to handle the situation, at least in my humble opinion, would have been to say, "We don't want hoppers and we are delaying/faking/altering stats to prevent/distract/circumvent hopping software from hopping us"

1 - try not lowering the memclock so much. 2 - what is the wattage draw on the rig as it stands now? 3 - driver and sdk versions? 4 - 920 Mhz gpu clock is pretty damn good for 5850s if you can keep it stable there. Not sure many 5850s will be stable that high. 5 - dump windows? Try BAMT?

All you have to do is pop up the fan hub and apply oil directly to the fan shaft
I did apply some force to attempt to pop the hub off but it got to the point where it felt like it would break and I went the hole drilling path.. Can you give a little more detail? I have 9 of these cards so I expect I'll be doing this again at some point. Thanks, Tim I posted a video how on the previous page. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18111.msg685005#msg685005I would not try to "pop up the fan hub" as Photon939 says. I tried and broke the fan. You are trying to get lubricant to the shaft. That's the reason for drilling 2-3mm off center. I beleive at 8mm you are way too far from the shaft and you now risk drilling into the armature of the motor. If you nick an armature wire, motor is done. I showed Tri-Flow but I believe any teflon based aerosol spray will do the trick. I wasn't worried about the spray being "too energetic" I want some lubricant getting in there. After running them overnight, hit them with another couple short bursts. Forget about trying to reinstall the same sticker. It'll eventually fall off unless you clean off the fan hub nicely and apply new adhesive.
You are a gorilla then. I did this with no issues following the video's instructions. We are discussing a non-reference fan. Sincerely, The Gorilla.

Neat, thanks. I'll play around with it. Learning more about linux every day This is what makes BAMT so great; the awesome support behind it don't forget to tip the awesome support

That's pretty common. Places will submit the information to fedex/ups which gives them a tracking number. But fedex/ups hasn't picked up the package (or it hasn't been dropped off). What likely happened is bensoutlet just cancelled it and it probably said "returned to shipper" on the tracking. screw bensoutlet.
i ordered a bunch of gpus from them. They sent me a tracking number and charged my credit card. couple days later they do an intercept with UPS and claim that the cards were OOS. I've been emailing them back and forth for a couple of weeks and they tell me that the cards were OOS.
So:
1 - They shipped me empty boxes.
or
2 - They are lieing about being OOS.
Either way, it's a shady way to do business.
that sucks. i'v done a few deals with them and have never had a problem. one weird thing is they ship them individually. +1, they provide tracking numbers for all the individual items instantly, which makes me think that they print out a label right away. If their stock levels weren't accurate, and the label got printed right away, it would show on UPSs site, but wouldn't actually have been picked up and sent. You say they performed an intercept. Are you sure of this? Did it actually show that they had shipped, and then been intercepted? No. The packages had been shipped and had arrived at my local UPS depot. I know the difference between a package actually being shipped and just a label being printed.

Yes, they admited to doing an intercept of the packages when they had arrived at my local depot. They refuse to give me a reason why they were intercepted.

urgent: command to power off (not reboot) BAMT rig?
The reason I ask is I know BAMT needs to use coldreboot instead of reboot.
I need to power off a BAMT rig (I believe watercooling pump failed). cgminer killed the GPU when their temp went >60C but with no pump even idle they will eventually overheat.
can "shutdown" be used? I don't want to take a chance and have it hang. BIOS should kill the board when CPU reaches overheat temp but I would prefer to power it off for sure (BIOS could hang).
i use "shutdown -h now" to shutdown a rig. If the rig is hung tho, that may not work.

i have a 5850 and 5830 the fan on the 5850 is an 80mm.when the fan does go i plan on getting something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103071 and cut the fan out of the frame,bend the legs and drill the 3 holes.probably have to change the connector,but as long as the amperage is the same it should work I've done this. You may wish to use a 15mm instead of the standard 25mm depth fan. I used a 25mm and the cooler cover sits a bit high. I just run the new 80mm off a molex. Also, try and find a fan with a high static pressure spec, since you're trying to push air thru some resistance (of the gpu cooler).

Oh.. one more thing..
at about 250GH it's about 3 hours to hit 43.5 bitclockers at the start of a block would regularly hit 750GH+
looking at the graph, the "anti-hopper technology" looks like it was hiding some shares from the entire pool (all miners, not just hoppers) for the first 4 to 4.5 hours. at 750GH, 43.5 would be hit in about an hour or so.
slope lines are about right.. maybe a bit on the steep side...
|

I'll just leave these here. The bitclockers info is from the bitclockers json page. You can draw whatever conclusions you wish from the graphs. The cyclic swing shown on in the early portion of the block is interesting to note. I surmise that the slope of the true share count slope is approximated by the green lines I have drawn in the 2nd graph.

I'd be willing to part with a 5770. Where are you located and what are you offering? I'd prefer to do a local transaction.

Bitclockers.com does not support pool hopping and there are several technologies in place to protect honest users.
Bitclockers delays share count statistics just like deepbit and other major pools.
V2, I've bantered around with you on IRC and you seem to be a decent and forthcoming guy. Don't you believe it would have been more honest and respectable to indicate to your users that "Bitclockers.com does not support pool hopping and there are several technologies in place to protect honest users" from the start, instead of quite underhandedly faking stats, blocks, etc. to implement said "technology to protect honest users"? Deepbit and other major pools spell out their anti-hopping measures and if your true intentions were to protect your 24/7 miners there are several proven technologies and payout methods that are hopper proof. Instead, you guys took the low road, and did who knows what with payouts and blocks. I know what the intentions were, but what's to prove you weren't cheating your 24/7 miners as well? I have come to the conclusion that any pool that does not provide a blockexplorer link to each and every block found by the pool is most likely doing something underhanded. I would seriously recommend anyone who is serious about mining to not mine on any pool where the pool does not provide said blockexplorer links.

Has anyone been running cgminer 2.2.x with BAMT? I'm still getting random OFF GPU's through 2.2.6 (just installed 2.2.7 to test) and I'm wondering if it's just something I'm doing wrong.
probably just the typical cgminer bugs. I haven't pushed out any new versions in fixes because it seems ever since 2.2.X they haven't been able to release a stable version. very much recommend to use phoenix. much more stable. +1
