1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining v0019-1.4 on: February 11, 2018, 12:54:43 AM
Gents,

I recently added another card to my rig, 7xGTX1080 and 3x1070. After adding the 10th card I am getting this strange error for Temp control. Could someone please suggest a solution. I am using the latest community release of papampi. I tried moving the Riser around to different PCI ports but problem persists. I am using ASUS B250 MB and Pentium G4400 as processor.

GPU 9, Sat Feb 10 19:48:17 EST 2018 - Adjusting fan from: 0 to: 50 Temp: 32


ERROR: Error assigning value 50 to attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed'
       (m1-desktop:0[fan:9]) as specified in assignment
       '[fan:9]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=50' (Unknown Error).

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

I am trying to use zpool's multialgo switch with nvOC but don't seem to get my head around the configuration. Do I need to type "Zpool" in Coin portion of configuration and where can I mention multi algo for zpool switching? I would appreciate if someone share the configuration file or exmaple.

Thanks,


Hey Papampi and team,

Could you please suggest some settings with Zpool multialgo switch. How can I achieve automatic switching to the best algo in zpool using nvOC. I am using  nvOC-V0019-2.0. I have 7xGTX 1080 and 2xGTX 1070 in my rig.

Thanks in advance for all your help.


Salfter has written a zpool switch: zpool-switch: a cross-platform zpool switcher



I now have a working zpool auto-switcher:

https://gitlab.com/salfter/zpool-switch

A note of caution: the description of their API is pretty much non-existent, and the normalized-profit statistic they report isn't in the same units from one algorithm to the next (it's BTC/day per MH/s for most, per GH/s for several, per PH/s for sha256d, and per kS/s for ethash).  Based on the data I've seen elsewhere, I think I have the right correction factors to correct all of them to BTC/day per GH/s, which matches up with the hashrates (in GH/s) in my miner configuration file.  If you notice that a particular algorithm seems high or low by some multiple of 3 orders of magnitude, let me know.

Further development of my auto-switchers will be under Gentoo instead of nvOC, but they should still work under nvOC with no changes to the Python code and just binary path updates in miners.json to reflect the different miner locations (the miner binaries live under /usr/bin on Gentoo).  Also, the shipping miners.json refers to a miner (at https://github.com/krnlx/ccminer-xevan) that nvOC doesn't currently provide.  Blake2S can be reconfigured to use tpruvot's ccminer at a minor performance hit.  XEvan is a relatively new algorithm only supported by the aforementioned ccminer-xevan; as a fork of ccminer, it should be relatively simple to get running under nvOC if desired.

Thanks Papampi.

Gents,

Thanks for excellent work. This distro looks very promising. I am trying to migrate my rig from Windows to nvOC and I have couple of questions in this regard. Below is my rig's configuration.

7xGTX 1080 (GIGABYTE) (Suppose to work with nvOC)
1xRX580 (XFX) (Will I be able to make RX580 work along with my nVidia cards?)
ASRock H110 BTC+
2x PSUs = Cougar 1200w and Corsair 850w
Monitor: HP Envision 17"

I am using a DVI-D to VGA converter to connect monitor with GTX 1080 card.

Challenge 1: I tried several versions and community builds but none works and Rig keeps rebooting after giving X Org error. It states my monitor is connected with onboard VGA which is not the case I am connecting the monitor with GTX 1080 and right now that is the only external card connected with my Rig. I tried different settings in BIOS but nothing works and nvOC keeps rebooting. Could someone help me out here. I downloaded "nvOC 19-2.0" and prepared the USB with it but I am still facing this XOrg issue and rig reboots, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Challenge 2: I want to use SSD instead of a USB drive. Could someone guide me on that. I tried burning the image on SSD and booting with it but rig goes into reboot loop because of XOrg and miner never launches.

Thanks all.

Cant you connect directly with HDMI?
Hi Papampi,

I can't use HDMI as my monitor is an old VGA monitor and I have a DVI-D to VGA converter which I am using. Do you think an HDMI to VGA converter will solve this problem? Not sure if I can procure one right away.

Cant say for sure you should try and see how it goes
May be other users has more experience with these converters...

Unplug RX580, amd cards are not supported with nvOC. In bios disable the on-board video (iGPU). Connect the monitor to GPU0 - the card that is connected to x16 PCIe slot (the long one) and give it a try.
Hi leenoox,

RX580 is unplugged, the only plugged card is GTX 1080. The 1080 is connected with the first slot next to CPU/Fan. I will move the connection to the long slot. I will try to disable the internal GPU tonight and will update.

On the other hand please share your thoughts on configuring the system in headless mode, for example, enable Teamviewer in 1Bash, login into the system remotely using SSH and configure teamviewer via command line and login to system via teamviewer and get the GUI and run the miner and never connect the system to an external monitor. . Is that supported with nvOC?
