Hi Guys

I also got that error before I edited my xorg.file.

Please do a lspci | grep VGA and post your output. I had 4 GPU's and my hardware ID's was 01:00 , 02:00 then 04:00 and 05:00:

m1@m1-desktop:~$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1c03 (rev a1)
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1c03 (rev a1)
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1c03 (rev a1)
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1c03 (rev a1)


When you then go into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and scroll down a bit you will see you VGA entries:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "GeForce GTX 1060 6GB"
    BusID          "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

I just made that the first 4 entries correlate to my lspci | grep VGA output . Save and reboot. After that all the settings applied.

Hope that helps

Hey fullzero

On ETH only it is not that great. According to web I should get close to 22 - 24 but on my 150cpu oc and 900mem oc my ETH only runs at between 18.8 and 18.1 per card. I also have the same Zotacs as you being the 1060 AMP+ 6GB edition.

I think it is because of the powerlimit/level being stuck on 2 and cant go to 0 so that it can get more 'juice'. I have read other threads regarding the powelevel/limit being stuck on 2 but I don't know enough about linux to go about upgrading nvidia drivers etc to test. I have played with my cpu and mem oc but my limit stays on P2.

Kind Regards

I have the non + version, this is the first Pascal card I have seen with this problem.  Does 22 mh/s with ETH no problem with OC.

What happens if you open the guake terminal ( press f12 ) open a new tab if cpu mining, then enter the command:

sudo nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=1

enter password ( miner1 ) when prompted

Also have you tried not using a powerlimit?



When I enter that command into the quake terminal it says atttribute set to 1 , but when I go nvidia-smi , it stays on P2. I have now disabled powerlimit setting and I have increased it to 150 , it stays on P2 my side. My ETH does not go over 18.8. Can you confirm yours is on P0 ? I suspect my side might be driver related or the image I flashed isn't 100% compatible. Is there a easy'ish way to upgrade Nvidia drivers ? Smiley

Kind Regards

Lastly, I am trying your onebash on a MSI Tomahawk Arctic H270, but the onebash only seems to overclock and set the fan speed of my first card. ? Any ideas what I can do to try get all my cards Overclocked, I have the ZOTAC 1060 AMP+ and I am only getting 16 HS in Eth.

Kind Regards


Roes5000,

sorry I missed this part of your post earlier.  First which image, and how many cards are you using?

I used the MSI Z270-A PRO image. At first I could not get it going for it only overclocked and set the fan speed of my first card. I have a good friend who is much more Linux educated than me and he helped me just to edit my /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that the ID's match up with lspci | grep VGA . After the reboot all 4 cards had manual fan speed of 78% and ran on 150core and 900mem oc. I just don't know why the powerlevel inside the nvidia settings stays on level 2 , my nvidia-smi output is as follows:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+

Would please like to know if above is normal or If it can be tweaked a bit more. Must I run any other command and send output for you to confirm my OS detects everything correctly for you ?

Oh, and for peeps that might be interested in DUAL_ETH_SC. In the bottom of the oneBash file, I added -dcri 70 to the back of my claymore miner argument. When it runs on default my dual mining was doing +-18 Mh/s eth and 170 sMh/s SIA. After I added -dcri 70 my eth stayed on +-18 Mh/s but by SIA climbed to 425 Mh/s. Temps looks good at +- 52 degrees so I don't think the card is working to hard ? I set my powerlimit to 105.

Thanks again for making this image. Any help and suggestions are always appreciated.

Glad your friend helped you with the xorg.conf   Smiley

If when oneBash starts you see each card cc and mc, fan control state and speed being set, you should be good.

I will have to try -dcri 70 argument myself

What speed do you get for ETH when not dual mining?

Hey fullzero Smiley

Thanks for the effort you are putting in here for us noobs. I am from windows environment and didn't struggle getting this going.

I just want to point out a typo in the bottom of you onebash file. I chose to mine ETH and SIA and after one day I couldn't understand why I don't see my worker. When you choose do DUAL_ETH_SIC , the code reads

if [ $COIN == "DUAL_ETH_SC" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64'
MUSICADDR="$ETH_ADDRESS/$ETH_WORKER"
SCADDR="$SC_ADDRESS/$SC_WORKER"
until $HCD -epool $ETH_POOL -ewal $ETHADDR -epsw x -allpools 1 -dpool $SC_POOL -dwal $SCADDR -dpsw x -dcoin sc
   do
   echo "FAILURE; reinit in 5" >&2
   sleep 5
done
fi

But I think the MUSICADDR needs to be ETHADDR. I see a few places where MUSICADDR is specfified in the wrong coin code. I know see my worker and all is looking ok. I just don't know where I mined to for in my opinion MUSICADDR was not set but I was mining to it and the pool was accepting shares.

Lastly, I am trying your onebash on a MSI Tomahawk Arctic H270, but the onebash only seems to overclock and set the fan speed of my first card. ? Any ideas what I can do to try get all my cards Overclocked, I have the ZOTAC 1060 AMP+ and I am only getting 16 HS in Eth.

Kind Regards
