Jondecker, Dishwara,

thanks for your help but I'm not able to set them up. I don't know what to put when it asks me "Enter the OpenCL device number".

I am a real newbie, sorry.  Roll Eyes
I am not sure, but it showed me GPU[0] i think. If its shows you the same, then you no need to enter, its already entered & you just press ENTER key, else type GPU[0] & press ENTER key. You have to do the same again, with GPU[1] for your 2nd GPU in configure devices.

Mathman:
I've never seen this sqlite mismatch error before. Here is what I would try:
1) Delete the smartcoin..db from your installation location, then run an svn update to pull it back down from the svn server
2) delete the .smartcoin directory
Code:
rm -r ~/.smartcoin
3) make sure one last time that sqlite3 is a recent version
Code:
sudo apt-get install sqlite3
4) Run the installer again

Let me know how it turns out

Unfortunately, I'm getting the same errors as before after doing this.

I tried to purge sqlite3 and install again.  The version installed is 3.7.7-2.  I am still getting the same errors as before.

the problem is that at the first install i launched the automated search for devices and he showed me nothing, like if I had no devices at all!

I think that on 5970 the GPU are 1 and 2, 'cause 0 should be the processor.

Again, I tried putting just "1" whe I was asked for the OpenCL device and when I ran smartcoin the temperature was shown but below next to the device there was written "<<DOWN>>"

What is the output of the following command
Code:
aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all

the output is

            Sensor 0: Temperature - 40.00 C

Adapter 1 - ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series

This would mean that your OpenCL device #'s would be 0 and 1

I did the "add device" procedure twice, for both GPUs.

I deleted all existing devices, then I selected 9) in the main menu, than "a" to add the devices, than "1" (for the localhost machine, the only one that is shown), I gave the name "GPU 1" and "GPU 2", and respectively "0" and "1" when I was asked to enter the OpenCL device number, than "y" to have the device available to the automatic profile, then "n" not to disable the device and finally "Ctrl+a" followed by "1" to start mining.

But the result is this:

Code:

in a different terminal run the command
Code:
screen -r miner
This should show you any errors that you might be getting from your mining program of choice

I've set up my BTCGuild account to see if something had changed and now it works!

But it is still far from the performances that i expected:

Code:
smartcoin Management System r411 dell'Ultimo(stable) ven 15 lug 2011, 00.07.45, CEST
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Host: localhost
GPU 1: Temp: 88.50 load: 71%
GPU 2: Temp: 89.00 load: 45%
CPU Load : 3,33%

GPU2:   [188.82 Mhash/sec] [13 Accepted] [2 Rejected] [RPC (+LP)]

Grand Total: [382.38 hash/sec] [29 Accepted] [4 Rejected] [13.793% Rejected]


Again, temperatures seem quite high, especially if compared to the load. And the second device is quite unstable, it often does up/down/up/down

did you adjust your fan speed?
Code:
DISPLAY=:0.0 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 100"
DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 100"

Yes this can be done on the config page option 6 configure miners

my miners launch string looks like this
Code:
python phoenix.py -v -u http://<#user#>:<#pass#>@<#server#>:<#port#>/ -k phatk device=<#device#> worksize=256 vectors aggression=8 bfi_int fastloop=false

THANKS SO MUCH TO EVERYONE!!!! It works!!!

Now I just need to set up the best values of phoenix and AMDOverdrive to maximize the performance of my HD5970.

Any further suggestion?

RockDJ:
Here are a few more suggestions for you

1- If there are any commands that you want to have run automatically when smartcoin starts, create a file "init.sh" in the smartcoin directory.  Then you can add your commands that you want run on startup. I.e.:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

DISPLAY=:0.0 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 100"
DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 100"
(make sure you mark it executable with:
Code:
chmod +x init.sh

2) Experiment with making your own profiles. Its pretty straight forward once you get the hang of it.

3) Once you have a few of your own profiles built, adjust the failover order from the control screen, then change the profile to failover. This will allow you to have alternate pools/workers to mine to if one fails (from ddos attack for example)

Doesn't aticonfig require root privileges? In other words, doesn't he need to use sudo with the password in plaintext in the init script?

Nope I run my scripts as a non root user and it includes setting the fan speeds and over clocking my cards

user@linuxcoin:~/scripts$ DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --od-setclocks=930,1000

kennel:

If you prefix the commands with the appropriate display, you shouldn't need root priveleges. I.e.:
Quote
DSIPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all


So for anyone using an init.sh - you should probably prefix your aticonfig commands with DISPLAY=:0

I've got a strange problem with SmartCoin.

I'm using linuxcoin 0.2b1 and have checked out the trunk of smartcoin into /home/user/smartcoin.

I've confirmed that the DB is created successfully and have populated it with the phoenix miner and two workers on two pools.
The miners don't seem to start - it seems like a screen issue.

On Screen1 I see everything listed as <<DOWN>> and every few seconds I see a bunch of errors fly across the screen. I've managed to screencap it and here's what's listed:

Code:
grep: /tmp/smartcoin-Miner.1: No such file or directory

I've tried running it as 'user' and as 'root' and the problem exists on both.
Now here's the strange thing... after uninstalling, reinstalling, trying with sudo, without sudo, eventually I got it to work with sudo! (I had to run the install script as root which put the db into /root/.smartcoin and then run "sudo ./smartcoin.sh"

When it was working, I modified my startup script to launch that command and rebooted.
Then it stopped working with the same "grep" symptom.
I haven't been able to get it to work since.

Another symptom is, I can't just run "smartcoin"
I have to run ./smartcoin.sh from within the smartcoin directory.

Any suggestions?
