1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Asus B250 mining expert issues on: March 29, 2018, 12:06:03 PM
Hi,
when i add 4 RX580 cards, then all is ok, and the rig runs fine.
when i add a 5th RX580 card, it only shows a black screen with the cursor blinking at the top left, no BIOS messages.
Has anyone experienced and maybe have a solution for this?  do i need a special setting in the BIOS?
I am using the 4 cards in the first block of slots, have the latest BIOS and the PSU is 1500W, so will easily run it.

Also, do i "have" to connect another PSU, if I want to run more than 6 cards?
The PSU should run more at least 8, according to my calculations.

I tried this out yesterday and it looks very nice and is pretty quick.

After adding some wallets, I ran into a couple of issues.  Not sure if they can be resolved easily, or I am just missing something?

1.  you can only add 5 wallets.
     i have 20 (am sure it will incrrese over time) per coin that i play with - I do not have that much volume, but I do not like to keep all eggs in one basket Wink
2.  How can I add historical data?
     I can either enter 5 wallets OR a fixed amount.
     e.g. I bought some OMG, but they cannot give me the public address, as you cannot send OMG back to them.
     what I would need would be some way to say "I bought 5 OMG on the 06/02/2018 and I transferred them to my private wallet on the 15/02/2018"
     Then I would enter my wallet as well and the calculations could continue from there.
     Currently, the charts start on the day i transferred my coins to my private wallet and state a 0% gain, even though some increased by 12% from when i bought them
3.  I think someone already mentioned it, but a current value per wallet would also be great.
     At the moment it just shows me number of coins in that wallet.

Getting that in there would help a lot.

Not sure about the 19 GPU.
you can get these PCIE 1x cards that can run 4 risers.
Have seen them, but never tried one.

Just to confirm, Hive OS runs completely from the USB - I can still keep my Windows install intact?
Yes, you can choose what to boot from in the BIOS.
If you stick in your USB stick and set bios to boot from it, then you will run HiveOS, otherwise your Windows/Linux will boot.

got one step further.

Was using my original settings:
Quote
CORE 1315 DPM 4 V 950 MEM 2250 FAN 80

But also tried these from someone on page 13 of this thread:
Quote
CORE 1250 DPM 4 V 900 MEM 2250 FAN 80
Cards are running at 80% as I have that option in claymore settings

My cards (sapphire rx580 SE OC ) have been modded and run without issues under windows are 31.9MH/s at 103W/card.
Am using afterburner with 1315MHz GPU and 2250MHz mem.

have the rig up and running, but my MH/s are all over the place.

I have seen the total go down as far a 24MH/s and as you can see the first 3 cards go to a max of around 4MH/s.

On ethermine.org, it shows me that I have a reported hash of 150.6MH/s and actual of 53.4MH/s
 
How would i be able to analyze this?

Edit: My stale shares also went from 5% to 27%
I am getting a lot of the below in my syslog.

I have tried HiveOS on a stick and it works a lot better than anything else I have tired on Linux!!
It wend from 20-21MH/s to 29MH/s!!
Under windows I get 31.9MH/s, but everyone - except one person on this forum, who does not respond to PMs LOL - gets a little less than under windows.

Problem is that I need to run it in a VM, as I do not have dedicated hardware.
Would it be possible to create an img files that only has one partition, so that I can run it in libVirt?
I can modify the configs myself, once the system is up and running.
Would REALLY, REALLY appreciate it!!!

Not sure what happened, but downloaded the latest image again and tried to import into VM and it worked like a charm.
will setup cards now

Hi,

this sounds really,really good.
Under windows, my rx580 cards can achieve 31.9MH/s, but under Linux, I cannot get past 21.6MH/s.

I am trying to install this OS in libvirt, as my ubuntu box also does other tasks.  It is working with Wn10 and Ubuntu, but I have issues with HiveOS.
I created a partition and used 'dd' to transfer the image.

It does boot, but then fails, as it says that the uuid does not exist and then drops me into a shell

How can I change this, so that it will boot?

Your help would be appreciated.


PS. I wanted to post the exact uuid and partition type, but when posting it told me that i have been blocked because of using invalid commands.
The code tags do not seem to work either.

Hi,
I finally got my rig working and am using this cool tool.
I do have one issue though. Under windows I can get 31.8MH/s at 102W, but under Linux I can only get 27.6MH/s and am using ~40W more power.
The BIOS has been modded and the voltages have been set to 950mV.
The cards that I am using are the Sapphire Nitro+ 8GB rx580 special edition (blue case, has both Samsung and Hylinx memory).

There are several users here, where some have reported better values than under windows.
Would you be able to share your bios files, so that i can see where I messed up?
I really do not want to mine under windows.

Thanks
Martin

Wow, this post really got going Wink

>I think its easier to reformat your existing ubuntu and install nvOC then install and set samba, nfs...
Yeah, no, that is not going to fly.
That would mean that after a new version comes out, I would need to start from scratch.
I do not only run Kodi, but have samba, AFP, raid, VPN sever, multiple VMs, database, ..... - i use this box to develop on as well Wink

Have started downloading the latest version and will see if I can make out what needs installing.
If there is a list of things that need to be installed, so that I can just update parts,then that would be very useful.

The project is not by any chance available publicly, e.g. github, is it?  then i could see by timestamp what has changed and update my rig.
Is there a way to become a contributor?

I started with nvOC and it got very unwieldy quickly.  I didn't need 3/4 of the stuff in there and definitely didn't want Unity and all the services it brings.  I used Ubuntu Server 16.04 and created my own customized version.  I use Openbox and have a couple scripts that run from cron to start the mining and do some overclocking.  I tried to use the Autotemp and Watchdog scripts from nvOC, but they are kind of patched together and don't work too well outside of nvOC.  I'm still looking for a good watchdog script, but for now I managed to cludge something together that sort of works.  I think nvOC is a great idea, but it is getting a little out of control with all the options.  I really like this project: https://github.com/Cyclenerd/ethereum_nvidia_miner but it is geared toward mining Ethereum and I don't mine that.
I like the versatility - having said that, i have not actually run it yet.  you can choose what you want.

I will try and convert it to a virtual machine.  From memory, you can use QEMU (or was it Xen?) to directly access the hosts hardware.  Have not tried it yet though.
Then I should be able to configure cards on the host and run a script in the virtual to connect cards.........maybe?

wow, what a cool project!!

Sorry to barge in like this.  I am only on page 7 so far and am sure the answer to my question is in the next 273 pages Wink

Is there a way to run a script or is there a list of things to install on an existing Ubuntu LTS?
My rig is our media center and file share server, but would like to add a dozen cards or so (asus mining expert) to do some mining, as it is idle most of the time.

Thanks

I think its easier to reformat your existing ubuntu and install nvOC then install and set samba, nfs,... and any thing else you need for your media center instead of going through installing and setting up nvOC over an existing ubuntu.

I think his request seems quite interesting to me.
By developing an installable package on a stable "normal" ubuntu (I say normal to mean that this system would only be installed from the ISO provided by cannonical), Fullzero's scripts and all the others could be spread on much more mining rig.
I admit that it is also another work a little wider and tedious, but in fine, the nvOC package could thus be deployed much more widely and probably also on debian or probably other systems.

He would thus make a big competition to ethOS which makes pay his scripts, even if the first goal is not this one, that would perhaps make them review their commercial policy that personally, I find doubtful.
It would probably also bring other linuxians (called "bearded"!) :-) in some circles ha ha! ) to help this very active community of this thread to further optimize scripts and mining software.

Start with a package including software and scripts adapted for an ubuntu and then chained with a debian more classic and less heavy IMO, and observe if this package could interest the other communities of the other banks of Linux like RED HAT, Fedora and / or Mint ... etc.

Would not it be judicious also to reserve this distribution Ubuntu to the beginners with Linux because it is necessary to recognize this to him, ubuntu tries then a few years to convert the workstations windows to Linux.
In my country, it has done rather well to the national gendarmerie! A civil branch of the police.

I think it would be interesting to put these scripts on a system less heavy volume in one way or another.

I hope that what I am trying to express is understandable to some of those who have read this post.

The idea is nice but not quite practical. There are a lot of differences between linux distros and their backbone so such a project would require quite a big team of developers and testers to execute. Just see what happened few weeks back when ubuntu pushed updates... screwed up the operation on single distro, single version.... imagine if we had 6-7 different distros... even the big software companies don't support more than 3-4 main distrubutions of linux.
Different distros handle libraries, drivers, config files differently, not to mention the selection of preinstalled software... it will be impossible to support that from a community driven free project like this
Yes, I understood what you are saying here. I am well aware of this diversity in Linux distributions. I was just saying that to make a package of a few MB available would be much better than putting an entire system!

For the other systems, those who would like it in the other communities would manage themselves to adapt them to their systems. It was not a question of wanting to control the other branches in a minnning system since this thread or even a dedicated project.

I only think that a simple package would be interesting elsewhere than on ubuntu.

Making an Ubuntu package should not be so different from making a package for Debian. And nothing prevents to continue to put in availability the current file of a whole system.

Finally, I ask myself a question: Would not it be possible to transfer a maximum of things that are not very useful for the mining for the most experienced? Most Linux users pilot their RIGs from another PC via SSH, so it seems to me that the graphics layer does not appear to be essential. This is just an example by others ...

While beginners or inexperienced would become recalcitrant, but nothing prevents to make a package with graphic layer and the other without a graphic layer.

For the graphical drivers pb of two weeks ago, yes, I remember, but Fullzero explained himself about it. he particularly mentioned his desire to keep up to date a certain number of things for safety for example.

In fact, it is always the same: a simple use for beginners and advanced use for "a little" more experienced. This is the problem of simple scripts that some people can not configure for lack of experience. I do not know where FZ0 is in its arbitration of several 1 bash and several 3main according to the various mining scripts provided at the beginning. I understood that he wanted to combine two types of versions: beginners and advanced users.

A package, only a package that would be intallable on a fresh installation of ubuntu (I probably have trouble expressing myself on this because I just wanted to indicate a package uniquemet pure ubuntu at the start, and others do what he wants, that's all). A package with a list of prerequisite tests to install the package.
The comamdne aptitude handles dependencies pretty well if I remember correctly. And even without such an automated installation script, it would be quite simple to list the necessary installation Before uncompressing the scripts and preamble and / or to make a simplified installation guide on a web page.

It's a bit more complicated than that... I am not saying that it can't be done but it's lots of work...

For example, what you call the graphic layer, the X server (or xorg) is essential service as the nvidia drivers will not load without it. So you can't have pure console experience running miner without the X server. On top of X server there are different graphical interfaces like unity (current implementation on nvOC), gnome, kde, etc... all requiring different setup. The base programs that come with one are not installed by default on another. They could be installed but sometimes they don't work well or don't work at all, eg. kde/gnome. A lot of scripts are hardcoded to work with guake which isn't installed by default on kde...
The default nvidia driver installed on nvOC is tweaked for ubuntu and will not work on other distro, you would need to install the driver manualy...
The location of xorg.conf is not same on debian and redhat... etc... sudo implementation is also different... there's just too many differences... not an easy task

Wow, this post really got going Wink
