1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining on: June 22, 2017, 10:42:02 AM
Hey @fullzero,

I have encountered an issue with ccminer after a reboot:

error while loading shared libraries: libcudart.so.x: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Also, I have found a solution:

http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~mwb7w/cuda_support/libcudart.html

The above has been proven to get ccminer to start without any issues.

Also, I've been testing the latest nvOC version on 5 mining rigs - so far all looking good.

Cheers,

Can someone share the OC settings for GTX 1080 OC 8GB (non TI), please?

These are my OC settings for nvOC:

POWERLIMIT="NO"
__CORE_OVERCLOCK=275
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK=600
FAN_SPEED=100

The card gets heated: 82 C (stays there 24/7 consistently)

With the above OC settings, I get 315-330 MH/s on LBC and 495-505 Sol/s on ZEC.

With the same OC settings as on nvOC, Windows 10 is able to get 345-365 MH/s on LBC and 545-565 Sol/s on ZEC with temperature not going over 79 C. I used MSI Afterburner on Windows.

Any ideas?
Well, in nvOC (Linux) the OC is different. So you might want to up your mem OC quite a bit.

As written before by fullzero:
Powerlimits in windows are in percent TDP; in linux they are in watts.  Thus a powerlimit of 70 in windows is .7 * 120 watts or whatever the TDP is (84 watts if the card TDP is 120); while 70 in linux is 70 watts.  I would recommend comparing Windows and linux powerlimits with a kill-a-watt to get them exactly equal; but most likely a 3gb 1060 has a 120 or 125 watt TDP.

Also linux OC offsets are scaled differently than windows; you will need to use higher offsets to get the same results in linux.

Thanks.

How about setting the temperature limit? In MSI Afterburner, I was able to set the temperature limit as well. I've been using Windows so far, so please don't mind my questions. Smiley

@fullzero, cheers for creating nvOC and sharing. You gotta start charging  Smiley

Hey fullzero,

The other issues I've had were resolved automagically - no idea what happened.

Anyhow, I'm encountering a new issue when starting the server:

-I get stuck at the Ubuntu login prompt. m1 is selected as a user and I enter miner1 as a password - I don't get logged in, the screen refreshes and I get put back into the login screen.

Any idea what might be causing this? I'd like to prevent this particular issue from happening as I'll be deploying nvOC to multiple servers and getting everything to work automatically would be awesome.

Edit: I have already tried this - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg18789262#msg18789262
Edit 1: Tried this as well - http://www.linuxslaves.com/2016/05/3-ways-fix-ubuntu-gets-stuck-login-loop.html = no luck
Edit 2: Will try a fresh install again. It might be a one-time thing

I have encountered an issue when trying to run oneBash:

If you manually start one oneBash; always use the absolute path:

Code:
bash '/home/m1/Desktop/oneBash'

Let me know if you still have this problem when doing so.


Just tried that, the issue seems to persist:

Also, when I open nvidia-settings - this is what I see:

Any ideas?

Edit: it's a headless server - no display attached.

Great job!



Do you have any idea what this issue might be? Everything was fine, I was able to set OC values. The OC values persist, but I'm unable to update the OC values. A part of the reason has to be this.

Please let me know.

Hey Miners,

Is anyone running a headless mining rig on Ubuntu with GTX 1080? I cannot get to overclock the card due to: ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run `nvidia-settings --help` for usage information.

I have ready every single related page on Google along with the relevant pages on the forum. I'm looking for someone with a similar or the same configuration who might be able to provide a guide on how to configure a single mining rig.

In addition, I need to know what's the best Ubuntu version and the Nvidia driver version for mining altcoins in general.

Once I collect the necessary information, I will be happy to share the tutorial with the community myself in a blog post.
