[OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining

[Bibi187]

Hi all,

Hopefully this is not too off-topic, but in trying to get the latest ethminer working in nvOC (at the speeds expected for my GTX 1060 6gb cards), I had also been posting on their Github page. I am trying to figure out a few things, and would love to hear what you all have to say:

• Someone on that thread suggested that with Linux-based mining, the overclock settings for memory people throw around (which, most things I read are for Windows) need to be doubled. As in, people usually say Samsung memory can get around an 850 memory OC, so they were saying for Ubuntu I would go with 1700? This felt wrong given the 1bash defaults, but I'd love verification
• Is there any way anyone knows, without doing a Windows install, to learn what kind of memory my cards have? I'd rather not install Windows, and I have 26 cards I'd like to verify without changing their order or disconnecting if possible. I have not been successful in finding a Linux utility, but feel I may benefit from indvidual clock tuning
• Has anyone gotten the 24-25 Mh/s the latest ethminer supposedly gets while using in nvOC? If so, what settings are you using?

I appreciate the input, as well as the fact that this build even exists, so any help here would be amazing.

Hi JudoFlash,

• You are totally right for memory in linux, cause in linux u dont OC MemClock technically you OC MemoryTransferRate. MemClock = MemoryTransferRate % 2
• Unfortunately on linux we don't have software that allow you to get memory brand version, easy way to do this is to boot your rig on a single windows card per card
• For this last one i dont have 1060, but i bet with nice OC u can grab this one. Remember to negative your CoreClock when u mine ETH

Don't hesitate to ask more

Thank you kindly. Wow, ok, so I will try ratcheting up the memory overclock some more. i have been underclocking the core by 200, but I appreciate the tip.

Too bad about the utility to read the memory type. Since instability takes a while to crash things sometimes, I bet I'll be tuning things for a LONG time. Especially since I have already had instability issues with my two ASRock H110 BTC+ Pro boards.

I will try some memory tuning and see where that brings me, though I'd love to hear if anyone else running 1060's has had success, and at what settings.

Thanks!

Well, I think I've figured it why it has failed even after installation of 'libutempter0', the profitable coin according to MPH is XMR and with the XMR the path provided in the 'mph_config.json' is invalid.

Code:

/home/m1/KTccminer-cryptonight/ccminer -a cryptonight

The miner previously accepted the -a option, but ignored it as it only has Cryptonight code in it.  I pulled the latest version about a half-hour ago, rebuilt it, and found that the -a option now throws an error.  Getting rid of the "-a cryptonight" part of the base command should be a sufficient fix.

Hum something i don't get ...
In new nvOC0019 u only this 1bash file, no other and 1bash seems to be short, like i miss a part of 1 bash ...

EDIT : i checked SHA256 is fine.

The backend code part has been moved into another file in home folder, name starts with 3 if I remember it right.

I tried to say that there is no miner with that path, I've pasted the right path in my post (will double check once I access the rig if your suggestion works or not, typing from mobile)

Nvidia Mining v0019
Uhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ! 

[kingsleylow]

hi guys,
i just installed the v0019 when i boot up the terminal show Launching Mining process but nothing happen after that.

i tried to set the to LOCAL, set my ETC account and use the default setting the system still not showing any mining process.


thanks in advance

Have you checked on Guake terminal?? (Press F12 for Guake terminal)

Code:

nvidia-smi

see whether there is any mining process happening?

can also check this

Code:

screen -r miner

Thank bro... I am not sure why there are two 1bash one in home another in another drive.


Now trying to figure out on overclock.. still unable to work.

Well, there are lots of requests to split the configuration and implementation files, so fullzero did that as part of the request, configuration is something you can amend more frequently, as some people are not even remotely understand / change the implementation.

Let's take advantage of it

Did anyone successfully set up teamviewer with custom resolutions without monitor(or dummy plug) on a headless rig?

v0019 is up on Google Drive see the OP for the Link:

I will upload to MEGA after sleeping.


Lots of changes I will update the OP after sleeping.


the SHA256 hash is:

Code:

9f461a33051568425f616a265d7811b6c3372f61bbcfdbae7d50fb627c57fb38

If you are using windows:

open a cmd prompt:

click the start button and type: 

Code:

cmd

then press enter:

type the following:

Code:

CertUtil -hashfile PATH_TO_IMAGE_ZIP_HERE SHA256

and press enter

if the result is:

Code:

9f461a33051568425f616a265d7811b6c3372f61bbcfdbae7d50fb627c57fb38

then the ZIP_containing_the_image is good

Note: you can find the file path by right clicking the zip and selecting properties


If you are using linux:

open a terminal and enter the following:

Code:

sha256sum 'PATH_TO_IMAGE_ZIP_HERE'

and press enter

if the result is:

Code:

9f461a33051568425f616a265d7811b6c3372f61bbcfdbae7d50fb627c57fb38

then the ZIP_containing_the_image is good

Note: you can also type sha256sum then drag the zip to the terminal window to add the absolute path without typing it.


If you are using OSX:

open a terminal and enter the following:

Code:

shasum -a 256 'PATH_TO_IMAGE_ZIP_HERE'

and press enter

if the result is:

Code:

9f461a33051568425f616a265d7811b6c3372f61bbcfdbae7d50fb627c57fb38

then the ZIP_containing_the_image is good

Thank you fullzero!
I'll wait for change log if it's worth migrating from 18 to 19.

[Lixach]

So, v019 is more stable than 018. Thank a lot.
However, I still have a problem with a screen
http://imgur.com/a/UDHzF
Moreover to many times a detected all cards (12th cards is detected after 1-2min after 1st one and watchdog become said about low utilisation).
Also, in terminal, screen is not working and in best way if it will show in guake(f12) after writing "screen -r", but sometimes it also wrote that "there is no screen to be resumed".

Is it normal that every time upPASTE reload config it start a new instance of 1bash ?

Code:

m1@m1-desktop-102:~$ ps aux | grep 1bash
m1        2201  0.0  0.0  13320  3876 pts/16   S+   11:43   0:00 bash /home/m1/1bash

m1       13547  0.0  0.0  13328  3892 pts/21   S+   16:23   0:00 bash /home/m1/1bash

Problem is some times it create multiple miners :

Code:

m1@m1-desktop-101:~$ screen -r  miner
There are several suitable screens on:
	14358.miner	(08/29/17 16:23:44)	(Detached)
	14348.miner	(08/29/17 16:23:44)	(Detached)
Type "screen [-d] -r [pid.]tty.host" to resume one of them.

and multiple temp too

Code:

m1@m1-desktop-101:~$ screen -r temp
There are several suitable screens on:
	13837.temp	(08/29/17 16:23:36)	(Detached)
	13830.temp	(08/29/17 16:23:36)	(Detached)
	13823.temp	(08/29/17 16:23:36)	(Detached)
Type "screen [-d] -r [pid.]tty.host" to resume one of them.

The multiple miners only happens on one of my rigs, the other one dont have this issue.
Both has multiple 1bash running but one make multiple miners.

Sorry if I misunderstand.
In v19 you need to run 3main instead of 1bash or run 2unix to refresh the whole

When upPASTE see modification between your 1bash and 1bash, he trigger a reboot of the process.
So are u sure u put right address of your upPASTE ?
That prolly from some weird permissions u cant kill your miner running. I got this trouble with multi launching miner. A new install fixed this
