Any one had this sort of issue while using SALFTER_NICEHASH_PROFIT_SWITCHING ??

Code:

Can u check date and hours on your linux / network ?
Failed certificate verify error came from this habitually

I've changed the time zone long back to my local time (GMT London), the profit switching was working even after the time zone change! Haven't touched/changed anything related to profit switching!!

UPDATE :

Now I'm not getting the above error but get different issue; main terminal says mining starts in guake terminal; but on guake 'There is no screen to be resumed matching miner' error appears.

Will compare it with latest 1bash and see if there are any differences.

EDIT :

Sorry, I've overlooked, I'm still getting the above error and on guake getting this 'There is no screen to be resumed matching miner'

P106-100 BOUNTY

The person who will be able to unlock the overclock of my 13x P106 Rig (on the ASRock H110 BTC) with nvOC will get

1 ETH

I only got pure P106-rigs and no non-mining cards mixtures.

PM me and I will give you access to one of my Rigs.

Thanks!

I'm ready to make a donation too, if the issue with P106 cards is finally solved, but it's been so long already ...

Download the pure P106-100 1bash for headless SSH operation from the link on the OP; replace the 1 bash on your rig with it.  

Add your pool / addresses / workername to the 1bash.

Note: for this version don't use:

Maxximus007_AUTO_TEMPERATURE_CONTROL

or

IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG

ensure they are both set to "NO"

Run the mining process; it should not OC at this time.  This is expected; it will alter the xorg.conf as needed.  

Note the Rig IP; write it down.

If you are not already running fully headless; ensure that you reboot: disconnecting any monitor from integrated graphics on the mobo before the rig reboots.

With your rig IP ssh into the rig after it boots ( see guide on the OP for more information on how to do this.  If from a linux system use the cmd from terminal:

Code:

ssh m1@your_rig_ip_here

you will be prompted

enter:

Code:

yes

the password is:

Code:

miner1

once you are logged in via SSH; enter:

Code:

screen -ls

if there is already a screen named miner use the cmd:

Code:

screen -r miner

to reconnect to the mining process and ignore the rest of this guide


if there is not; enter the cmd:

Code:

bash 1bash

to launch the mining process

once you see the message:

process in screen miner; attach with: screen -r miner

hit

Code:

ctrl + c

then enter:

Code:

screen -r miner

If you have problems with this; let me know.  I can't test this directly as I don't have these GPUs; but this should work unless I made a typo in the 1bash.


Also; you can edit the 1bash via SSH with the cmd:

Code:

nano 1bash

note this is a visual editor; again see the SSH guide for more info on nano.

Thank you so much for the quick respond. I'm getting GPU 0, GpuMiner cu_k1 failed 77, an illegal memory access was encountered in claymore and CUDA failure 77: an illegal memory access was encountered ; in Genoil, after a few seconds of mining.

Also in ZEC it says CUDA: Device: 3 Thread exited with code: 77
or CUDA: Device: 3 Thread exited with code: 64

Am I doing something wrong?


I will make a donation for your lovely p106 1bash.

best regards

or CUDA: Device: 3 Thread exited with code: 64

Try a lower memory overclock offset: I get these errors when I overclock too much. To confirm, check the output of "dmesg" in the terminal; if you get messages like these:

[139035.343237] NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:02:00): 31, Ch 0000001b, engmask 00000101, intr 10000000

Most probably that's the issue. If you get these messages but with a different Xid (in this example it's 31), report here, as each code has a different meaning.

For people want to have log in direct terminal with perma update a simply command do the job and let u know which GPU fail and why
Open a terminal and type

tail -f /var/log/kern.log

Hey everyone.

As fullzero has already posted the instruction on OC of P106-100 rigs, I can confirm that this works and i am now using cc -200 and mc 1300(was stable for over 10 hours )  , I think it can go to 1400-1500 but I am in the process of testing the 12th card since it caused me issues everytime i connected before.

Also I have another question to ask fullzero : When I start the rig it sometimes doesn't swap the xorg files and giving me errors which lead to the OC being off(Sometimes even after autoreboot it doesn't autostart 1bash). This solves after a couple of reboots but I can't figure out how to reboot it so the OC will work and the miner also would start automatically since sometimes when I turn it on the miner doesn't autostart and this leads to further errors and no OC available. So far I haven't found any other problems so thank you again for solving OC issue.

Can you advise on what should I do in that case?

Hey everyone.

As fullzero has already posted the instruction on OC of P106-100 rigs, I can confirm that this works and i am now using cc -200 and mc 1300(was stable for over 10 hours )  , I think it can go to 1400-1500 but I am in the process of testing the 12th card since it caused me issues everytime i connected before.

Also I have another question to ask fullzero : When I start the rig it sometimes doesn't swap the xorg files and giving me errors which lead to the OC being off(Sometimes even after autoreboot it doesn't autostart 1bash). This solves after a couple of reboots but I can't figure out how to reboot it so the OC will work and the miner also would start automatically since sometimes when I turn it on the miner doesn't autostart and this leads to further errors and no OC available. So far I haven't found any other problems so thank you again for solving OC issue.

Can you advise on what should I do in that case?

Hi all,
I can also confirm that all 13*P106-100 are working.
Dual mining ETH/PASC at CC 0, MC 1300, Powerlimit 115, i get eth 307/pascal 3070. 6 hours stable.

Maybe u can push a little more lower CC and reduce your powerlimit without loose on your hashrate

A MOTHERBOARD THAT IS COMPATIBLE--

Do your research.  Some boards will not recognize any GPUs attached through the  PCIe multiplier.  Some will max-out at 7 total GPUs, and fail to boot if an 8th GPU is attached.  Reportedly, H81 Boards fall in that category.  Z170 and Z270 boards have been reported compatible, and may allow several PCIe multiplier boards attached to the motherboard.

I have tried a PCIe multipler (1 to 4) with little success.  I bought a new version recently for about $30 and will try again.  In 2014, I was able to mine script with a GT 9800+ and a GT 520 on the multiplier, and a GTX 550ti on the motherboard.  All 3 cards barely made 135kh/s script total.  They are all considered obsolete today.  I was not able to get the PCIe multiplier to work with a GTX 750ti, even using the same motherboard.

Do Google searches and check.  Actually, an ASRock H110 is probably a better bet.  Good luck!       --scryptr

Hello.

Please help me solve the problem:
GPU UTILIZATION: Unable to determine the device for GPU 0000: 09: 00.0: GPU is lost. Reboot the system to recover this GPU.

 I'm new in Linux, tell me how to fix this?

[Moordact]

I have got multiple biostar tb250 btc pro mobos.

I am going to run this with 12 gtx 1070 hours.
Is this possible with nvos?
 Driver wise?

So 12 gtx 1070 one motherboard?

Fellow miners,

this is the build I use with my Nvidia 1000 series rigs.  I am providing it to the community 100% free, with no fees (from me at least):
Genoil has no fee; Claymore's miner has a fee; EWBF v0.3.4 has a fee; while v0.3.3 defaults to 0 fee.

Please Note:
I don't have any Maxwell cards, so I didn't test them.  According to Nvidia, the driver should support them as well.  I'm not sure if nvOC (as is) can support Maxwell Cards.


nvOC is a customized Ubuntu 16.04 build with Nvidia individual card OC and individual card powerlimit support, manual fan support, auto launching on boot, and a single easy to configure Bash Script (1bash) which can be configured from a windows pc using wordpad.


nvOC is easy-to-use and supports mining (with the newest 1bash):

DMD	GRS	ZPOOL_LYRA2V2	ZPOOL_BLAKE2S
ZEC	ZCOIN	HUSH	ZEN	ZCL
NICE_ETHASH	ETH	MUSIC	ETC	EXP	DCR	PASC
MONA	VTC	DGB	SIA	FTC	LBC
DUAL_ETC_DCR	DUAL_ETC_PASC	DUAL_ETC_LBC	DUAL_ETC_SC

I know this card obviously support 12 gpu.

But does this work with 12 x GTX 1070 😁 since normal Nvidia driver only support 8x same you? I have read.

Hi Moordact, yeap u can work on 12 1070 GPU on linux,8 GPU per driver is a windows limitation.
Slot primary card alone on pcie 16 at first boot, after boot shutdown plug all your card & enjoy

Hello.

Please help me solve the problem:

 I'm new in Linux, tell me how to fix this?

Hi Oleg_filin,

this log come from "WATCHDOG" it seems watchdog detect some issue on you GPU and restart mining process, that dont resolve the issue after 3 soft reboot so WATCHDOG reboot your PC. If your OC setting is stable and you dont get crash about GPU, just disable WATCHDOG in 1bash config. Or be sure to be up to date with last WATCHDOG script A lot of new miner push your GPU volatility to max and your GPU sometime show 0% and back to 100% that why WATCHDOG feel something is happening.
