I've been away for a while and this morning found my Linux miners to be giving the error: Unexpected error:
Unexpected error:
Unexpected error:
The miners seem to be running (GPU temp goes up when starting) but the counter stays at 0/0/0 so I don't think I'm getting any. So I thought: let's update my CP setup! I go to the first page of this thread and click: v0.6.6a to v0.6.7 (because I'm running v0.6.6a) I get a page that reads: Invalid or Deleted File. Could anyone tell me what it is I did wrong to get this error on CP and if not maybe why I cannot get the update file? I am not very keen on trying to take the v0.6.6 to v0.6.7 update file as it might corrupt things. Thanks for any help! |

CP is running fine on Linux since the update, great work!  |

I can confirm that Error reading miner output stream, terminating. on Linux means that NO shares are being submitted. I will send log to Blood. |

What's the command to start CP with logging in Linux? Can't find it fast, if not posted i'll do a more intensive search tomorrow.
The 'error' returned, the fact it says "terminating" makes me thinks it's not really harmless...

CP on Linux gave me: Error reading miner output stream, terminating. and this was printed like 20 times, I exited and restarted CP, all seems fine now. |

CP is telling me I am mining at a speed of 1723 MH/s but looking at my workers average over the last 15 minutes on tripple minings site tells me its at about 800. Which is the more acurate one?
I would let it mine for 30 minutes at least before the pool itself can give a good estimate on the hashrate. You still on Windows, Max? If you update CP to latest version and simply copy the complete CP install folder to your Linux box and change config file to point to poclbm.py it should work... |

Thanks for investigating. Apparently, my existing poclbm version gives the 127.0.0.1 error I updated it (I think) using the guide, and used this to do so: git clone https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm.git I think this will update my current poclbm version located in /opt/miners/poclbm but now when I try running CP I still get the same 127.0.0.1 problem. The command above really does something, it seems to update things but I cannot tell if it installs a new version of poclbm or that it tries and fails to update my current install. If anyone can tell me where the new version is installed using the above command I can try to get CP working too :-) Thanks for any help. -edit- FIXED! So the command above to download and install poclbm does in fact do that: install poclbm but in a different location. I found the latest install to be located somewhere else than it used to be, I found this with the following command: find / -name poclbm.py -print Now I got a list of all the directories containing poclbm.py I added the one that was apparently new to my .cfg file and started CP: running! Only thing is that it will not show any accepted shares, it simply does not do that. You can however find the hashrate by typing info <enter> as usual. (so it was not your slow GPU Blood, it just doesn't show the accepted shares lines, I'm hasing at 800+mhash/s so should've given me some accepted shares lines by now if it does). It does show the "LP connected to <poolname>:port" lines. Shares submitted will also stay at zero. So people using Linuxcoin can use the above line to install latest poclbm and use the 2nd line to locate the installation path, put that into the CP config file and off you go! Hurray! |

I am using the board with 3 gfx's, the pci-e x1 slot can be used just fine, but you need to short pin A1 with B17 ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=36061.0 ), I used a cable tie (got loads of them whenever I get hardware with cables), with exposed ends, it's been running just fine for 2-3 weeks now. I tried this too some weeks ago, exactly the same method (a cable tie with exposed ends) but no workie for me. It does not seem to matter if I short A1 and B17, it boots exactly the same (Linux). I tried the PCI-e 1x to 16x extender on another motherboard and it works there, so that is working. (I even bought 2 of those extenders just in case). I will try to do some BIOS settings. (Yes, the PSU is powerful enough to feed those 3 x 5870 cards). |

Are any poclbm processes actually running and staying idle or are they simply not starting in the first place?
I must apologize for my lack of Linux skills, I have no idea how to monitor running processes under Linux and therefore no idea how to check if they start at all. |

Java error: Java needs to be in your Windows Path, please do a search for it in this topic or google the error message, its a very common error and is easily fixed. It's almost asked once every 2 pages here I think, shouldn't be hard to find.
Linux: no shares are being committed. I don't think poclbm is set to do anything.

CP on Linux: I kept trying and found that just installing poclbm as a package completely kinda fixed the 127.0.0.1 issue. I was now back at the "error=13 permission denied" track. I solved that by giving poclbm.exe execution rights: Now when starting CP all is fine, CP is picking the right pool and then: nothing. * Cherry Picking!
=====================================
When I type info I get the stats: 0 for all. After some time, CP starts to do a check for most efficient pool again, like it should, and then nothing again, dead silence... |

So you need older drivers for no CPU bug, you need newer drivers for 7GPU support, so Linux is the only one that can do both
If it works under Linux I don't see why you don't want to go that route: Linuxcoin for example can even run on a USB stick which saves some power from the hard disk you're not using as a bonus.
If you want to stay Windows:
Make sure to really clean the drivers before installing new ones, this is not just a suggestion made by AMD, it's really what should be done.

When i try to use the start.bat file, it comes up with error 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command.
Help please???
You need to add Java to your path. Please do a search in this thread because it's been asked 2 or 3 pages back. Googling for the error will give you the same solution: add Java to your Windows Path (also explains how). I solved it with google too. |

So to use this program you would need to go to every pool listed and sign up, correct?
What kind of % gain are you getting from this program?
I've checked my Mt Red stats and calculated I'm at about 150% efficiency after a week on that pool, didn't bother to check the others but it's good enough for me. |

Would be awesome to get some Linux help. I suspect CP is not the issue but Poclbm is, so it could be a short investigation on your side and great rewards for all of us (greater possible userbase too).
0.2BTC to the person posting the line to update my poclbm install on Linux (Linuxcoin to be exact).

Is there an easy way to update an existing poclbm install on linux? Don't want to mess up the whole install by doing it manually step by step. Does this work? wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/raw/master/BitcoinMiner.cl
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/raw/master/BitcoinMiner.py
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/raw/master/poclbm.py -edit- no it doesn't. |

Could be, a lot of this above it: * 24DigBtc
* Update error or pool considered invalid (lagging or down)
* Most efficient pool is: 5eligius
1.0019877988904107
* Cherry Picking!

So I am trying CP on Linux, and it seems to do well (CP itself) up to the point where Poclbm is going to start: Error=13 Permission denied. I am running the .jar from a root terminal, have set the path to Poclbm in the config file and but now Poclbm is giving trouble. I changed the path to another version of Poclbm and CP started normal and then gave me this: * Cherry Picking!
Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException
at java.lang.Thread.start(Thread.java:612)
at ProcessControl.ProcessHandler.startProcess(ProcessHandler.java:104)
at ProcessControl.MinerController.switchPool(MinerController.java:308)

at ProcessControl.MinerController.deadPoolNotify(MinerController.java:94)
at ProcessControl.ProcessHandler.onDeath(ProcessHandler.java:109)
at ProcessControl.ProcessHandler.run(ProcessHandler.java:134)
Hope this is useful to someone. |

Hi Guys, just joined the CP customer base some days ago and got some great hand-holding from one of you (thank you). Great product although I got something I would like to see come available in a future release:
Continuous hash rate counter (yes INFO gives a snapshot but when tweaking your GPU it's not really sufficient)
I have only read a couple pages in this thread so could be I missed the request already done and the answer to it, in that case I apologize for requesting this again.
I got 2 questions:
Previously I used Phoenix miner with Phatk kernel, my 5870 GPU's were hashing at 420ish mhash/s, when I type INFO now in the CP box I see a hashrate between 750 and 800 (2GPU's) so poclbm does not seems to hash as fast as Phoenix did.
With Phoenix I used: -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=7 WORKSIZE=128 FASTLOOP=false
What would the poclbm/CP equivalent be for these settings?
I am using this now: Args=-v -w128 -f70
My 2nd question: is the Linux version of CP already available? Would like to get my Linux box cherrypicking too :-)
Thanks for this great product and for any answers given.
-F
