Not a power issue, using a Corsair TX850 (single rail), all 5850 Xtremes.
I don't think it's a driver issue. The card spins up but won't show up in lspci or AMDOverdrive with -h to list cards.
Running LinuxCoin final.
I don't think it's a bandwidth issue, I downplugged all the cards to 1x and verified they independently work.
There is no BIOS update available.

I have the Asus M4A79XTD Evo (2 x16 and 2 x1 slots) and I can't get it to run more than 2 cards. I've tried shorting the presence detect pins.
Funny thing is it's not a particular slot or card, it's the total amount of cards. If I have both in the 1x slot both of those will run. If I have one x16 and one x1 those two will run. It seems that it can only run the first two cards. I even tried taping the cards down to x1 and plugging that into the x16 slot but it didn't help.
Anyone encountered this or fixed it before?

so this start.sh, when executed from the terminal, as "sh /home/corelinux1/start.sh", everything goes fine, all 5 scripts are executed, the miners starts fine, the fans to, etc etc, except to the fact that the terminal where I executed didn't close itself (I want that)
I think it's supposed to be running, you can't kill it without killing the program running inside... but yeah, Sorry I can't really help...I don't run ubuntu |

Yanz, I found the solution maybe you can update your guide,
I simply added the following to my start miner script.
xhost +
echo $DISPLAY > /home/user/.display
Huh weird...I originally had this but it caused and error message and I deleted it and it still works. I guess I still need it, thanks for sorting this out. |

That's what I based this guide off of. Look in the first post...I linked it. |

9. Have a dozen bitcoin related apps on your iPhone/iPod/iPad/iMac/iDevice/Android/Nokia Phone
10. Spend your free time browsing forum.bitcoin.org instead of lolcatz, Youtube, Google+, or Facebook

I don't think you can run those by double clicking... The autostart worked for me... argg linux  Has anybody else (besides me) gotten it to work? |
|
|
|

Yes, do let us know what's going on.

Well, the miners work fine. Im not sure what else it could be. How would I test that? Is there a way to start an x server?
I'm not quite sure. I'm not great with linux...this thread was just what I found to be working with a stock LinuxCoin install. Which evidently doesn't work for everyone. What's your hardware specs? |

SSD still available and how much?

Are you doing this remotely over ssh or with a keyboard and monitor physically at that machine?
Plugged in with keyboard and monitor, I can try over ssh w.o monitor if you think tht might help Well I googled the error and it seems to be from not having a physical monitor attached which is not your case. Have you tested that aticonfig properly installed and such? Check to see that everything is working manually. |

yanz, give me a help here please.. I followed you guide, but using ubuntu, and everything gone fine, except the scripts parts... I've created the scripts that you asked, but when I run them, the terminal screen just popup and close... for example, I've created the start.sh script with the following code #!/bin/bash
sleep 4
gnome-terminal --title GPU0 --command "sh /home/corelinux1/gpu0.sh"
gnome-terminal --title GPU1 --command "sh /home/corelinux1/gpu1.sh" and the gpu0 and gpu1.sh on the same location, but when I run this script, I get the sleep time and then the bot miner scripts popup and close ps, the code for the miner #!/bin/bash
cd ~/poclbm/
./poclbm.py user:pass@blablabla#serv1 --frames=15 --device=0 --worksize=128 --vectors --tolerance=1 --failback=3
have you tried running sh /home/corelinux1/gpu0.sh in the terminal manually? |

That's weird. I don't get that message. Try running the aticonfig line as root.

MiningMonitor is only 1BTC/month. Pete has added so many new features in the last two weeks that it is fully worth the cost. The proxy + miningmonitor has solved all of my uptime and notification issues. For example, if one of my 12 GPUs goes down (or all b/c a pool is offline) at 10am and I'm at the office and don't get home until 6pm - then it definitely makes sense to pay 1BTC/month to know about it prior to losing 8 hours of mining time. Even if I were to ssh into my home LAN (which I do anyway) to fix things, that's a whole bunch of micromanagement during the work day when I'm supposed to be doing things at work. Handling the miners should almost never happen - they should be online 24x7 and if the primary pool is down then the secondary and tertiary pool should be available. If my outgoing internet connection on the LAN goes down then that's another story - and, once I get my secondary cisco router online - the internet will automagically connect to my secondary provider. Miners must be active 24x7!  I think you missed the point. When miningmonitor notifies you of a downed miner you still have to manually reset it. What the script does is detect the downed miner and restart it without telling out. MiningMonitor Miner down -> MiningMonitor notification -> You reset -> miner Scripts miner down -> script detects -> script resets ->miner No middle man -> No money spent  Anyways, that's how I view it. If MiningMonitor works for your setup then by all means use it. I'm not here to make you change your setup, I'm just stating the way I see it. Yes indeed 24x7 mining ftw! |

the restart script doesnt seem to be working for me....followed this exactly
is it working for others?
Try this: Exit out one of the miners. Then run sh restart.sh See what happens. It doesn't restart them, It logs it, but doesnt start the miners back for some reason. Any errors when you manually run it? |

Headless automation is great. Thanks for the write up.
From personal experience, it's way easier to manage pool H/A with Bitcoin Mining Proxy than with Smartcoin or some homegrown scripts that watch load. I have 4 boxes with 3 cards each and I'm using MiningMonitor to notify me of down'd workers - having to ssh into a box to see Smartcoin information is a waste of my time. I have a separate web/db server running the proxy app so it doesn't get affected by rigs that need to reboot or have work done to them. YMMV.
You have your point but this is designed to keep the GPU's online, not the connection to the pool alive. If the pool goes down then no matter how many restarts, the pool isn't going to come back up. And MiningMonitor is kinda expensive. Ins't it for profitable to let the worker stay down until you get home then to pay MiningMonitor's fees? |
