Linux mining distro for the Raspberry PI - MinePeon

[pluMmet]

I'm updating right now.

I got this message:


___________________________________________________
Timestamp hook for mkinitcpio no longer exists.

If you used this hook is must be removed.

A systemd hook has been added which provides this functionality.
___________________________________________________

sshd.conf is now different too.. /etc/ssh/sshd.conf.pacnew
___________________________________________________

sysctl.conf is now removed

change name to etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf if you modified

all settings are kernel defaults
___________________________________________________



I hope MinePeon does need it  the way it was.

*Does not matter pi still does not see my stuff on the usb 3.0 hubs

to be honest, I didn't think it would... I have a Raspbian fully updated and it doesn't detect anything USB 3.0... if you want it to work with the Pi, best chances are sticking to USB 2.0

I believe I have found the cause of a bug in the WebGui that distorts all of the statistics:

Well I'm chaining 4 usb 3.0 into a usb 2.0 then to my mining hardware... was hoping the 2.0 would work out as it's the host.

indeed it seems that cgminer does crash when using usb miners... BFG has been working solid for the past 10 hours

Since I switched to BFGMiner, 4d 8h 16m 36s uptime thus far.

Speaking of which i have sort of an issue. BFG mines fine with usb miners, but whenever it reboots it doesn't mine automatically like cgminer, i have to ssh into the Pi, and go into manage devices and type ALL for BFGminer to find the USB erupters...

So whenever my Pi crashes, i would have to physically log into Pi, and type in ALL just to get the Bfgminer going again... Anyway automated way for bfg to just recognize the devices from the get-go?

Do you start it with the switch -S 'erupter:all' ?

Your bfgminer.service file should look something like:

Code: (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bfgminer.service)

[Unit]
Description=bfgminer
After=network.target openntpd.service

[Service]
Type=forking
User=minepeon
ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -dmS bfgminer /opt/minepeon/bin//bfgminer/bfgminer -S erupter:all -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf
ExecStop=/usr/bin/screen -S bfgminer -X quit
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Neil,would you consider a channel on freenode for discussion in real time about minepeon.

I was testing Minepeon 0.2.2 and tried to change to bfgminer but for some reason it doesn't work, Also tried Minepeon 0.2.3a and got the same issue.

Currently i have no clue what might be wrong.

hmm, that all looks correct, did you try to trace the directory to make sure that's the location of the bfgminer executable?

Code:

cd /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer/
ls -la | grep bfgminer

I know I've recompiled BFGMiner and put it in /opt/bfgminer/  I doubt this is a cause (unless you recompiled it, then maybe), but never hurts to check.)

[Morblias]

Shouldn't it be this?

Code:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -dmS bfgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer -S erupter:all -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf

instead of his original post:

Code:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -dmS bfgminer /opt/minepeon/bin//bfgminer/bfgminer -S erupter:all -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf

At first I thought the same, however my bfgminer.service has it in there with both // and works fine.

Not double slashes - that does work fine.  He was pointing out that bfgminer is listed twice in the path:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -dmS bfgminer /opt/minepeon/bin//bfgminer/bfgminer -S erupter:all -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf

PERFECT. Thanks so much TK!

The correct start command seems to be '/opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer'

Tried to start bfgminer manually with parameter '-S all' & '-S erupter:all' but i always receive 'All devices disabled, cannot mine'
With cgminer minpeon 0.2.3a works perfectly.

minepeon@minepeon ~ $ /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer -S all -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf   
All devices disabled, cannot mine!
minepeon@minepeon ~ $ /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer -S erupter:all -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf
All devices disabled, cannot mine!
