I started using guiminer recently as a wrapper around cgminer, to make cgminer more easily trayable, stoppable, and restartable on my wife's desktop. I'm fine with cgminer's curses interface, but she's much more confortable with a GUI.
I noticed that the current version of guiminer doesn't understand the output from the most recent version of cgminer, but with a few minor changes, that can be fixed:
In guiminer.py, find CgListenerThread and change it to:
class CgListenerThread(MinerListenerThread):
LINES = [
(r"Accepted .* GPU \d+ pool \d+",
lambda _: UpdateAcceptedEvent(accepted=True)),
(r"Rejected .* GPU \d+ pool \d+",
lambda _: UpdateAcceptedEvent(accepted=False)),
(r"\(\d+s\):(\d+)\.?(\d*).*Mh/s", lambda match:
UpdateHashRateEvent(rate=float(match.group(1) + '.' + match.group(2)) * 1000)),
(r"^GPU\s*\d+",
lambda _: None), # Just ignore lines like these
]
I also wanted to make cgminer use it's own config file for username, hostname, etc. so I don't have to create multiple miner tabs in guiminer to run multiple GPUs in separate cgminer instances. That can be done by changing configure_subprocess_cgminer (also in guiminer.py) to:
def configure_subprocess_cgminer(self):
"""Set up the command line for cgminer."""
path = self.external_path
# Command line arguments for cgminer here:
# -l <log message period in second>
# -T <disable curses interface and output to console (stdout)>
cmd = "%s -l 1 -T" % (path)
return cmd, os.path.dirname(self.external_path)
It would probably be ideal to make this a configurable option from the cgminer tab in guiminer, but I haven't bothered to do that yet.
At some point, I might make a github account and submit these changes as pull requests to Kiv, but for now, I'll just make them available here if anyone wants them.
