OLD: BFGMiner 3.10.0: modular ASIC+FPGA, GBT+Strtm, RPC, Mac/Lnx/W64, AntU1, DRB

[BitMinerN8]

I tried running from command line and it shows no errors.  The window closes and windows says it errored and closed.

Is there any other way to capture any data as to what is happening?

Hardware is a 7970, 5970, 5830.  AMD processor, 8gb RAM, Raid 1 on the drives.

IIRC there are some issues with mixing 7xxx and 5xxx GPUs, like Luke-Jr said, most likely drivers. As a test, pull out the 7970 and see if you can get it stable with just the 5xxx GPUs.

Run with the --debug --text-only options.

If it's crashing, though, it's probably an OpenCL/driver issue.

What opencl/driver combo do you recommend?  I am running the latest from AMD on the 64 bit system

Thanks

Personally, I'd run Linux and put each GPU in its own KVM instance with the last driver/SDK before the card was replaced by the next series...

Got a 7870(Pitcairn) for my desktop (Win 8 - 64 bit) while waiting for my old card to go in for warranty replacement. Not overclocking for now, because my desktop isn't great on ventilation.

Running 13.4 Catalyst and APP SDK 2.8

On my dedicate mining machine (Win 7 -32 bit) and with my previous desktop card (6770), I used BFGMiner with no issues.

Now, BFGMiner (3.0.2 win64) crashes out instantly unless I am using poclbm, which even though the console hasrate is high, it is giving me garbage performance on every pool I try it on (Eligius, BTCGuild, Deepbit). I assume this is due to poclbm and stratum issues.

If I use CGMiner, with any kernel, including poclbm, there are no issues including with stratum, other than poclbm tends to overstate its hashrate in the console.

Any ideas on what I can do to get BFGMiner to run? I would rather use the same client for all my machines.

Compile with debugging information:

Code:

./configure CFLAGS='-O0 -ggdb' && make  # note the OH ZERO

Then run it in gdb:

Code:

gdb --args ./bfgminer -T -D <your options here>

When it crashes, it will drop you to a gdb prompt; run:

Code:

thr app all bt

... and pastebin the output.

Unfortunately, there will be no compiling of any sort on this Windows machine, its not set up for dev.

Does that mean I am pretty much SOL until I have time to do that?

I had the exact same issue (Windows 7 x64 running 13.4).  It is the 13.4 AMD drivers.  For some reason AMD removed 13.1 from their site, but if you do a search on the internet you can find the 13.1 drives and download it.  That fixes the issue.  No more crashing

From the README.txt

Code:

Each column is as follows:
5s:  A 5 second exponentially decaying average hash rate
avg: An all time average hash rate
u:   An all time average hash rate based on actual accepted shares
A:   The number of Accepted shares
R:   The number of Rejected shares
S:   Stale shares discarded (not submitted so don't count as rejects)
HW:  The number of HardWare errors
U:   The Utility defined as the number of shares / minute
BS:  The all time Best Share difficulty you've found

bfgminer had been running great for a week now, but I just went to check it and my pc had restarted. I suspect our cat stepped on the power button(don't know why hp put it on top).

 Now when I try to start bfgminer in the terminal I get this : " error while loading shared libraries: libblkmaker_jansson-0.1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
 
What is it? I'm still kind of a linux newbie.

How did you install it? Sounds like a file got deleted somehow...

[warbdan]

I compiled it with instructions I found online. I installed some Ubuntu base updates yesterday. Could that have deleted something?

Edit: It was probably something to do with Ubuntu's updates. I purged bfgminer using the terminal and re-installed it from the PPA. It's working fine now. I'm learning
