Eth mining on Ubuntu 16.04 complete guide

Hello
This is my first post here, and i know, that's this one is not first, related to such question, however, currently im managing farm with more than 1000 PC, and have good experience
So, let me briefly describe, how to run miner fast on Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop

1) Download and install OS, default settings is ok
2) Update using update GUI manager
3) run

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update && clear && apt-get install nvidia-384 nano openssh-server screen
sudo update-grub

Also, remove SUDO prompt's as

Code:

sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers

add line

Code:

usernameusedforlogin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

usernameusedforlogin is your current username
save

Code:

esc :wq!

4)Download and unzip Claymore Dual Miner from here https://github.com/nanopool/Claymore-Dual-Miner/releases
Personally I'm create folder called miner, so from here i will use path /miner in all examples

5) Create XORG config file as follow

Code:

sudo nvidia-xconfig -a  --allow-empty-initial-configuration --enable-all-gpus --cool-bits=31  
sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

This will create dummy Screens and assing it per GPU
Do not create xorg.conf again, it's will be created automaticly after restart

6)RESTART

7) go to Claymore-Dual-Miner directory (/miner in my case) and create file called start.sh

Code:

nano start.sh

For NVIDIA 1070

Code:

#!/bin/sh
cd /miner

export DISPLAY=:0
sudo nvidia-settings -a GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=1450
sudo nvidia-settings -a GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=-100
sudo nvidia-smi -pm 1
sudo nvidia-smi -pl 145

./ethdcrminer64

for NVIDIA p106-100

Code:

#!/bin/sh
cd /miner

export DISPLAY=:0
sudo nvidia-settings -a GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=1111
sudo nvidia-settings -a GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=-100
sudo nvidia-smi -pm 1
sudo nvidia-smi -pl 98

./ethdcrminer64

Both this files, will overclock GPU's and will reduce power drain

make it exacutable

Code:

chmod a+x start.sh

create or open config.txt

Code:

nano config.txt

Add follow

Code:

-epool POOL-NAME:PORT
-ewal WalletID.MinerName/Your@email
-epsw x
-esm 0
-estale 0
-mode 1
-asm  1
-tstop 95
-ftime 10
-wd 1
-r  0

Save

9) crete file called autorun.sh
it's will use screen and autologin
add follow

Code:

#!/bin/sh
PROCESS="miner"
screen  -mS $PROCESS  /miner/start.sh
PID=`screen -list | grep $PROCESS | cut -f1 -d'.' | sed 's/\W//g'`
echo $PID > /tmp/$PROCESS.pid
read

Agin, check path and make it executable
chmod a+x autorun.sh

them find "Startup Application" in Unity dash, create new startup enry and type (in command box)

Code:

gnome-terminal-command /miner/autorun.sh

10) Ok your miner is ready, reboot and enjoy
