1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [OS] rxOC easy-to-use Linux AMD Mining v_stopgap on: April 10, 2018, 01:43:51 PM
Hi guys, we have new AMD drivers, new Claymore version, new Ubuntu 18.04 coming...any hope of somebody to make a new versione of rxOS?

It's not rxOC (I haven't figured out how to get it working on a USB flash drive yet) but I've got a working XUbuntu 16.04 setup running with AMDGPU drivers.
It does some undervolt and substantial underclock with Polaris cards, but the R9 290 cards I've tried on it have no clock control at all (limitation of the bloody AMDGPU driver stack) and I'm not sure of the BIOS mods on those cards (TheStilt) is letting them undervolt.
I've not tested it on Vega as my only Vega card is in my gaming machine.

It does NOT allow use of an AMD iGPU as video output (MORE AMDGPU limitations, over 2 YEARS since AMD has supported any APU at all under LINUX) but the ROCm stack for OpenCL support DOES work on the iGPU of an A10 (for what that's worth).
It DOES allow fan control on everything I've thrown at it.
It's also not a fancy "one place setup" sort of thing, more of a "minimal install standard XUbuntu" type setup.


The main issue is that the AMDGPU driver stack is still a very poorly done and VERY incomplete "work in progress", to the point I actually recommend using Windows 7 instead of LINUX on Polaris cards BECAUSE of the junk drivers for LINUX.


...undervolt is very interesting, since I tried with mod. bios in polaris but it seems with nosuccess...and what kind of performance are you getting compared to rxOC? Can you share a link to it? TIA

I guess so,  I did with my rx580s and I dont have that loop. What cards are you using?

I use a Sapphire Rx580 Pulse 8GB, now running with rxOS in one rig...I am doing experiments on another USB disk on my main PC, using QEMU...now tried to upgrade but cannot, missing libs and dependencies...which is the correct procedure for upgrading the driver? Step by step?
like:
1) uninstall amdgpu-pro ->reboot
2) enable sources in software update
3) upgrade the system ->reboot
4) install amdgpu-pro 17.50

Huh

...when the driver is wrong for the present GPU (like when you are in an emulator) you are stuck at the ubuntu login. Even if you enter the correct user and pwd, the system cannot login...

BTW, I tried again to install the 17.50 driver...it does not install, many dependencies not satisfied...missing libs...have to update, upgrade the system before attempting to install the new driver...?

@etherdave: you can update to latest amdgpupro drivers for yourself: https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Install.aspx
@rgr_rgr: thanks for your help, I am sorry my reply took so long but I'm very busy atm. I think utilization and temp of gpus would be minimum to be aware of. I had a look by myself and stumbled on the same thinking as you so if you can deliver some telegram code thats fine, if I get some time I will also Smiley

Thanks for your reply! I did attempt to update the driver with no success. This is what I did:
1) uninstall AMDGPU-PRO -> reboot
2) Install new AMDGPU-PRO ->reboot
3) I was at the Ubuntu login loop...but ok, I was running it in QEMU...so I put the USB key in the rig...but was still trapped in the login loop...:-(

...any ideas? Will it go better using new 17.50 driver?

Hi guys, my best compliment to the creator of this very nice rxOS...but, no more developing on this? Really? It is working very well for me, but the beta driver feels like a bit old...any news? Thanks in advance for your time
