Linux mining distro for the Raspberry PI - MinePeon

[ct1aic]

Last version of MinePeon  @ GitHub doesn't have graphics? I tried to modify 'Graph points' followed by 'Save settings', but it keeps giving no graphics. I did loved the old version, with Advanced option.   In both RPI's, Uptime 13h 59s 52s

What OS/browser are you using?
Do you mind sending me /var/log/httpd/error.log?
Is there any error in your browser console?

On the github version:
Graphs, maybe highcharts is not compatible, that would be no fun. I'm adding the normal graphs now.
Pools, there are two new files created: miner.pools.json and miner.options.json, these are perfectly compatible with angular. These files are loaded in the miner section. When saved, these files change AND get merged into a cgminer compatible miner.conf  So check if those files exist and mod (660) and if /opt/minepeon/etc is mod (770)

Yep, the problem is the browser. I'm using Chrome @ my MacBook (OS X) and my laptop (Windows .

With Firefox 22.0, I can see the Live hashrate. WOW, lovely. Let's try with IE... ok, doesn't work also with IE 10.0.9200.16600.

Also, in 'Miner', I can't get the pools, using Chrome, Firefox or IE.

UPDATE: Strangely, after going to 'Settings' and 'Miner', the graphics were gone also with Firefox.

win7: ie,ff and chrome work

it could be this bug

This could be an error because of a missing file, but I can't reproduce it here.

Added a link to the old graphs: they are generated each time that page is loaded. After visiting it, you can go back and the graphs will also be updated there. A more elegant solution is for later.

HELP...

With last updates, I do get the graphics, but I can't access the pools...

OK, I'm using version 0.2.2. My current uptime is 10 days 9 hours 59 minutes 17 seconds. I just got the Adafruit LCD kit. I understand this works with newer versions of Minepeon? What is the best one to use?

[chanberg]

I am running 0.2.3a, and ive noticed that although the screen says "connecting to cgminer" every hour or so, it does not actually disconnect. It just says connecting. Because i am logged in though ssh, and I see the cgminer screen which is hashing away fine. When the LCD says 0.00mhs, its also hashing away fine..

One more intersting thing: I restarted my 2 RPI's more or less 23 hours ago, with same MinePeon, cgminer, but distinct Arch Linux.

RPI 1 - version A (2011), 256 MBytes RAM, 13 USB Block erupters, [Linux minepeon 3.6.11-17-ARCH+ armv6l] - Uptime 4h 58s 32s

RPI 2 - version B (2012), 512 MBytes RAM, 12 USB Block erupters, [Linux minepeon 3.6.11-15-ARCH+ armv6l] - Uptime 23h 13s 0s

With the newer Arch Linux version, RPI 1 restarted at least 1 time. RPI 2, with older Arch Linux version, didn't restarted.

Done another git pull of minepeon&http and now the Uptime is in the correct format h m s and not h s s and the live graphis are working.

I get now the following errors @ Main Page:

• Pools config not found
• Miners option not found

I still can see my Pools @ main page, but @ Miner page, the Pool only has empty. I still can't modify my pools.

Thanks for bug testing :-)

I am now making a button that fixes the problem. Should be working by tonight.

Should version 0.2.3a be down loaded or get pulls from 0.2.3 .....because get pulls from 0.2.3 for the web interface just wrecked.....cgminer is still up and running, but the web interface can not connect to the API anymore. It says miner is down and the screen is really light and I can not do anything....pressing restart miner does nothing....

I guess my only fix...REBOOT..

EDIT...NO luck......Web interface will not reboot miner now.....CGminer in SSH had no pools. I had to manually type them into CG to start the miner....

EDIT...It took a few minutes ...I had to restart CG from SSH ...then Web interface started.....
     It seems that there are 3 differant web interfaces ...and are merged into one....you have to press the correct combinations of buttons to
     get to    or out of the one you want.....http://192.168.15.3/old/pools.php  http://192.168.15.3/old/settings.php  http://192.168.15.3/old/advanced.html


Also ..Is LCD system suppose to auto-start too???

PS...Please find a was to keep Highest share found and  the Block associtated with..I would like to tread highest blocks of the day on a graph
The donation restart stops me from doing this...



Its looking better and better.....Keep rolling guys


PS...MI miner has been up for 3 weeks now...unless I shut it down or reboot it...Rock Stable..IMO

With last git pull, I get now miner and RPI uptime:

• Miner 13h 31m 38s   -   Pi 13h 31m 17s   -   Temp 36.856 °C
• Miner 8h 40m 16s     -   Pi 32h 51m 31s   -   Temp 36.856 °C

The Compatibility Reload button worked ok and I now can see my pools @ Miner screen. And no more warning messages when going to Main page. Many thanks, yxqz. But... to edit any pool, I have to delete it and make new pool entry... 

Temp of both RPI are exactly the same? Odd...

Question: What is 'Enable Remote control' option for?

Also, on the RPI with newer Arch Linux and from time to time, the live graphics go down and stay @ 0 Hash/s for some time. Reloading doesn't fix it. The other RPI always show live graphics.

Any chance there will be coming an new version of Minepeon this upcoming week?
Just checking before I throw my current old version away and upgrade to version 0.2.3

Thanks.

Hey, is there a way to use a wifi-connection? If so, how to configure the access point and wpa-keys? Which wifi-dongle is supposed to work with the rpi?

this works perfectly out of the box. plug it in,

enter "sudo wicd-curses" in the console

and setup everything as needed. you need to be on wired lan/debugging cable though to setup wifi

I update the http, i see my pools, everything ok... But in "miner" I cant see my list of pool and if I add one dont do anything

Did anyone get this working on Cubieboard or Cubieboard2?  I read someone was testing it out, but they've been rather quiet.

First of all: for those who use early builds, read this:
https://gist.github.com/thgh/6364973

But... to edit any pool, I have to delete it and make new pool entry... 

Is it because de Save pools button disappears?
Are there any fields marked red?

Question: What is 'Enable Remote control' option for?

A new feature that we would like to build. It will upload the stats to a remote server, so you can check up on minepeon at anywhere anytime.
If that works out, the settings and restart stuff might also come available.

Also, on the RPI with newer Arch Linux and from time to time, the live graphics go down and stay @ 0 Hash/s for some time. Reloading doesn't fix it. The other RPI always show live graphics.

Looking at the screenshot, it seems like apache/httpd is down. When an error occurs while trying to refresh the status, the status is not updated but the title should become [OFF]. I should make this more clear in the interface. Because now it looks like everything is normal.
How long does this command take and what's the output?

Code:

sudo systemctl status httpd.service

Probably not.

Sorry, I was distracted. Of course it works. As i change anything, appears a green 'Save' button and it saves the new values.

I could not replicate the error I was getting this morning. The command gives me:

You're welcome :-)

I encountered a similar error and just confirmed that this adjustment is missing in v0.2.3
This is the solution:
https://gist.github.com/thgh/6330000#start-apache-on-boot

You might have to disable/stop httpd.service first.
