You might not have seen my subsequent post before you replied, but anyway, I tried 11.04 and 2.4 last night. I guess I violated the advice "don't update anything" because I did update immediately after installing.
I don't think that updating should have much effect as I keep my 11.04 right up to date and haven't seen any problems. The only time I've ever had lock ups is when gpu settings were pushed too far. Engine 950 is not that high but some cards will choke on even that. I'd definitely start really conservative at 850 and default mem speed and then see how stability is before altering any gpu settings. Cards behave very differently even from the same mfr. batch. I have 2 5830s bought together and one craps out above 970 while the other is happy at 1020. If you got a fussy card then anything higher than 850 could be causing failures. If cgminer starts and outputs init messages then I'd say software is likely ok and you should debug hardware issues and really back off to ultra conservative values, and no "auto" settings that may be causing cgminer to adjust things. Also start with one card and add cards as stability is verified.

Ah but you compile them again yourself right?
I do both - compile myself - and also run the binary that ckolivas releases. Thus I know if there are any issues ... which is what lead to the extra comment at the end of my script about linking the missing library. It failed for me (on 11.04) so I worked out what was needed to fix that.
Edit: and I have finally got around to creating a Virtual 11.10 to compile with so I can do that myself also (I was compiling on 11.04 on an older PC) So I guess I'll also create a new version of my script soon when I bother to create a new 11.10 USB (since 11.10 has been around for a while ...)

I'm still using 11.04 but updating that, not upgrading to the newer release. Not sure if that's why but haven't seen anything weird. I didn't recompile cgminer until last night when I merged my code changes from 2.0.6 to 2.0.8. (I didn't update any of my systems to 11.10 as an act of rebellion against the choice to force us into Unity by default. I know I can remove it and switch back to the "classic" desktop. I just don't like this MS-like attitude of forcing all sorts of changes on us "classic" users. It irritated me when they started putting the [X] button on the left side of windows. /rant )

I changed gpu-engine from "0-950" to "850" and removed both "auto" settings. That caused it to go a few more seconds -- to the extent of outputing three "Accepted" messages that it hadn't previously... [2011-12-22 22:38:28] Long-polling activated for http://us.eclipsemc.com:8337/LP[2011-12-22 22:38:32] Accepted 00000000.943f188b.123aad4f GPU 2 thread 2 pool 0 GPU2 47.5C 4504RPM | (5s):326.7 (avg):4026.5 Mh/s | A:1 R:0 HW:0 U:600.00/m I:8 [2011-12-22 22:38:33] Accepted 00000000.ddd1a27e.08200eba GPU 1 thread 1 pool 0 GPU1 52.5C | (5s):363.6 (avg):222.7 Mh/s | A:1 R:0 HW:0 U:11.99/m I:5 [2011-12-22 22:38:34] Accepted 00000000.307282d1.c779af85 GPU 2 thread 2 pool 0 GPU2 48.0C 4519RPM | (5s):333.0 (avg):238.0 Mh/s | A:2 R:0 HW:0 U:23.98/m I:8 ...but then the system was frozen. So I think we might be on a productive track. Should we take this to another forum, like the cgminer forum? I don't want to slobber all over the Eclipse topic with my pool-independent issues...

I did both with 2.0.8, but compiled myself for the large majority of the experiments. With 2.0.7 I used the distributed binary.

You might ask the mod if moving these last bunch of message to the cgminer thread is possible - it would make sense and be more considerate here.

I just more-or-less duplicated my previous post over there.

I think our highest round is a 6.x million round. I hope we never break that record.

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it. There was never anything there in the first place.

6.x is low. You will break that sooner or later. Edit: also, quoting shares is rather meaningless. The number that is relevant is the ratio of shares to difficulty. So 6.5 is currently 563% - which isn't any where near some of the large pool records. Edit2: quick recent check: deepbit block "18.12 10:01:04" 4h 21m 10,489,615 - which is 908%

Inaba, I know your very busy. and you have been more then helpful with pool enhancements and bug fixes.. thank you. I have a request, instead of the tool tips setting/removal (i know that is a pita) can you PLEASE make the columns on the worker page sortable. I would love to be able to see which rigs are most profitable by sorting the profit column, or the reseted shares column. as an incentive, I will double my donation for a month thxs for a great pool! Jim

Jim It's quite easy to do this manually. Select (only) the web page table values by mouse and copy (Ctrl-C). Then open a blank spreadsheet and paste into that. Mark the range as a data range, and now you can sort a column easily. This way also has the advantage you can perform other analysis / calculations. And you can pretty it up for printing.

Well, the hashrate keeps climbing! Remember, port 9009 is available for connections as well as 8337! Anyway, I will be working on stuff this week, including being able to sort your miners as well as poolserverj. I may just go ahead and modify the source directly, at least until Shads gets back to me (maybe he's on vacation?) about some things I need in PSJ to accomodate DGM in the fashion I have it implemented. Hope everyone had a good Christmas. I'm still trying to dig my way out of it!

On another note, i finally read thru all the posts about the 80Watt small miner you've been testing. Don't want to put the name here for fear of the thread getting hijacked . I am really looking forward to see how that pans out. I will raise my donation now. maybe that will spur the bitcoin gods to give us a break on these multi million share blocks.
