1  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Xubuntu 13.04 / ATI HD6870 & 7990 / CGMINER 3.3.1 HW error on: July 25, 2013, 05:39:17 PM
Hi Everyone,

since some days I struggling with a big issue.
To Eliminate Errors, I Build a second test Systems to cross check it.

I run all Tests and Setup with a Clean Install so that I dont run into the issue with the OS.
I tried these steps on two different test Rigs one with a AMD Radeon HD 6870 and one with a AMD Radeon HD 7990 both had the same issues.

I got 6 miners in the "old Config" running. Xubuntu 12.04 and cgminer 2.1.x and all is running fine.
But to add two more Rig to the Mining Pool I run again and again to the same error:

Let me begin:

My Basic Setup is like this.

Fresh install of Xubuntu 13.04 64BIT

After the install I do
* sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
* sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential cdbs dh-make dkms execstack dh-modaliases fakeroot libqtgui4 lib32gcc1


After this I install the ATI Drivers.
I tried all of these three Drivers - of course I did for testing a new Clean install of Xubuntu to avoid any driver issues

Download latest ATI Driver
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/amd-catalyst-13.15.100.1-linux-x86.x86_64.zip

I tried as well with the latest Driver from the Support Site:

AMD Catalyst™ 13.4 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Drive
Version 13.4   
Release Date 5/29/2013
-> amd-catalyst-13.4-linux-x86.x86_64.zip

and the latest BETA from the Support Site

Latest Beta Driver
Version 13.4 13.6 Beta
Release Date 5/28/2013
-> amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-6-beta-x86.x86_64.zip


unzip the "amd-catalyst-13.15.100.1-linux-x86.x86_64.zip"
chmod +x the "amd-catalyst-13.15.100.1-linux-x86.x86_64.zip"

sudo ./amd-catalyst-13.15.100.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run

run thru the Setup without an Error.
Did a reboot!

Adapter gets listed after reboot
   
bitcoin@nebulon:~$ sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt
Adapter 0 - AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series
Sensor 0: Temperature - 48.00 C

bitcoin@nebulon:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series
OpenGL version string: 4.3.12414 Compatibility Profile Context 13.15.100.1

But If i starting cgminer 3.3.1 just for a test run

bitcoin@nebulon:~$ ./cgminer --benchmark -D

After that my cgminer Client is starting well
