I have switched to Linux ( ubuntu 16.04.1) but have been experiencing my screen not being recognized between switching rigs ( plug in hdmi in one rig and plugging back into same gpu I started with on another rig ) also on startup I have seen my screen not be recognized. Here's what I did: install ubuntu Reboot Sudo apt update Sudo apt dist-upgrade Reboot Sudo install new amd 16.50 Reboot Run miner, see gains Move to next rig repeat Came back to the first rig and screen isn't recognized. Missing anything? I know i'm not answering exactly what you expect, but how does that matter ? Can't you use ssh to admin your rigs ? Or the issue isn't about administration but rather about the miner not working because the screen is not recognized ? => My setup is 100% headless, no fake hdmi or anything and it works like a charm. Agreed - headless is the way to go. There's an issue with the way xorg works in the new versions of Ubuntu. I have found that installing 3 packages makes it work well. This is what I do: install xorg xserver-xorg-legacy xserver-xorg-video-dummy Edit the config file for xorg-legacy: /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config delete the last line: allowed_users=console insert at end of file: allowed_users=anybody needs_root_rights=yes then set up the xserver-xorg-video-dummy There's a bit more to getting the headless fully working in a screen, but this gives you a start. I don't want to keep flogging my build guide, you can probably find a link in a previous post if you want. It took me a while to figure it out, but once you get full headless going it's wonderful. I tend to get slightly less performance out of the GPU that my monitor is hooked to, although it is a XFX R9 380x vs the rest of the cards in the system are just ASUS R9 380 Strix. If I were to switch it to headless would I gain a little extra performance off of that GPU? I'm not positive the less performance is due to the monitor being hooked to it or if the 380x has less performance but I would think if anything it should be more than the 380. I agree headless would be the best option, and I will get there. Along with getting miner to start on startup... Miner ran for 4 hours and crashed on 2 rigs overnight But performance for my 480s is at 300 s/S. So it looks like Linux is the best option for now, and figure in stability. I'm also making sure I haven't missed anything, like increasing my page file to at least 16 gb like I would do on Windows. or use redhat?

^^ The 16 GB virtual memory setting only applies to Windows. Linux does not need any such setting.

How can you setup the voltage, gpu and mem of the vga in linux? Any software like wattool?

I run my cards undervolted and underclocked, so my RX 470's running at 1100/1750 get about 230 on Claymore's 11.1 On Optiminer, the same settings are getting me about 210, so about 10% lower at the same power draw, but Optiminer has historically been better on Linux.

1.6 looks pretty good. Getting 345sols from a 290x clocked at 985/1375.

It depends on what GPU you have and which driver you're using, so you haven't provided enough info. If you are running RX GPUs, the answer is no, because the amdgpu-pro driver does not currently allow voltage/clock control. At some point down the road, AMD is supposedly going to release Wattman for linux. For non-RX GPUs using the older fglrx driver, you can adjust core/mem clocks, but not voltage, although exactly what you can do depends on the GPU. Fury series GPUs, for instance, cannot overclock memory on the stock bios.

Sorry, I forgot to write the cards type that I use. I have RX 470 series cards. If the only way is using linux to get the best speed, optiminer isn't profitable for many users who use expensive electricity.

I am getting this error with 1.6:
OpenCL error: CreateProgram base (CL_INVALID_BINARY)
1.5 worked fine. Any Ideas?
Try with -c 1 adding -c 1 had no effect. disabling on board graphics adapter resolved the issue. thanks for your help

RX 470 (MSI and sapphire) get 262-272 on Ubuntu 16.04 without undervolting and underclocking on default settings. Is it really beneficial to underclock/undervolt? somehow 1.6 is less stable for me (so far) than 1.5 and 1.5 was less stable than prior.

You can always flash custom voltage/clock values on your GPU bios, under Windows, then run it on linux. I undervolt my Nanos using a vbios rom I made on Windows, and it works perfectly. There's no need to alter any card settings in software after that.

Good work Mr. Optiminer ด็้็้็้็้็้༼◉Д◉༽ด็้็้็้็้็้ So far about 385-400 sols for a 390, 220-230 for a 380 and up to 300 for a 280x all under windows, so cant complain. It seems Claymore is playing catchup, but there is a lot of suspense - his next version is coming out quite soon. oh the excitement lol

Hmm I havent set that up to be honest, i never needed to. Anyways try running your bat file with -help or --help or -h whatever and you'll see the details of the commands. Or go http://www.cryptominingtalk.com/bat-files/ and see the examples, like do title Rig6 :start genoil.exe -c zec-us.coinmine.pl:7007 -u fr4nkthetank.6 -p x -P 0 -f 2 -i 20 -w 64 -k zec zec cls timeout /T 10 goto start that should work I suppose, havent tried it since genoil Zec. anyone remember that lol

HELP please,
i am using 1.6.0 on my rig with 2 cards with this .bat GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1 optiminer -s zec-eu.coinmine.pl:7007 -u xxx -p xxx
it's running fine. with the same .bat file on my 4 card rig i get "GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1 unrecognised string blah blah you need to set variable GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1" any ideas please.

Yup. You have to put set GPU_FORCE...etc Set command sets it as environment variable for the command window session, setx command sets it for the whole computer on a permanent basis. i recommend just set.
