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

[Stubo]

I need help. I imaged 19-1.4 to an SSD but when I boot the 1bash file in /media/ isn't there. And when I edit the one in /home/ with my changes they get overwritten when I launch bash. Otherwise, Ubuntu is booting and running just fine. Thanks!

Unfortunately, the 1bash in /media does not work. What I do with a fresh 19-1.4 image is this sequence of steps:

1) Boot for first time and wait on first reboot. Then you should see that it comes up and starts mining on ZEC (although I don't know for who) on attached display.
2) Fix the issue with hostname being 19_1_4 by editing /etc/hostname (e.g., sudo vim /etc/hostname, change 19_1_4 to m1-desktop).
3) Deploy edited 1bash via WinSCP or edit existing locally to make changes for my coin, pools, etc. Reboot.

This is the minimal that I do with new rigs to get them up and running.

Hope this helps.

Hello, have some newbie questions.

1) Is ZM's miner not working in nv0019-1.3? EWBF works great but every time I attempt to use the dstm it doesn't work. Either it says "this screen is terminating" and then it eventually reboots from low gpu utilization or it says "no miner has been attached to this screen."

2) Is there a way to execute setting changes done in 1bash without rebooting?

Thank you

Regarding 1, as best I recall, there was a problem with ZM in 19.1.3 where either the location or the name of the ZM miner in /home/m1/zec/zm was out of sync with what is being called in 3main. I don't have that version handy or else I would check for you. If you go back several pages in this forum, I am sure it is discussed in detail there. As for 2, the way I do it is to kill the miner screen and wait on the watchdog to see that and kill/restart 3main. However, that can take about as long as rebooting depending upon if you are on USB or SSD.

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if i doing it right but the fastest way i know is just close the console and start a new one. Not the green Guake terminal. The black standard terminal. It kills the miner and restarts mining.

If local easiest way to restart miner and 3main is what Rumo said, if remote and with ssh:

Code:

pkill- e screen
pkll-f 3main

is CTRL-C in the remote screen that bad ?

[Rumo]

is CTRL-C in the remote screen that bad ?

with CTRL-C you can stop the miner or other scripts but you can not restart 3main or kill the screen as far as i know.

I do ctrl-C in the miner screen all of the time to restart it. I said kill the miner in my previous post, I just didn't say how. Either way, the watchdog detects low utilization and restarts 3main eventually.

That's right. But it takes time for the watchdog to detect the problem and restart 3main. If you restart the console its instant.

The Asus "binned" TI GPU stand more OC and hashes ok with 130W too. Will make 13x TI rig next. Same powerdraw more sols per W. Should be ~6600 sols with 2kw.

with CTRL-C you can stop the miner or other scripts but you can not restart 3main or kill the screen as far as i know.

I do the changes in 1bash and then I use CTRL-C in "screen -r miner" instead of rebooting the rig. Same thing if I edit 3main.

I never had a single problem doing this (using v19)

   While running a check on my ETH payouts on EtherScan today , I noticed that a transfer from someone of a token for
ZENON worth 79.00 was sent. I have no idea of what this is or why. Can someone enlighten me on what it means?  I am
just mining coins and happy at that. Not really into the buying and selling end.

thanks    thay

Sometimes some coins make an airdrop to random addresses.

Quick question.
Which processor do you install in your rigs?
I use the i3 7100T (2 cores 3.4 Ghz), but I think it's overkill since the CPU load is always below 20%
Originally I wanted to have a margin of manoeuvring in case I change configuration or if I decide to turn the rigs into standard servers.

[Zucca]

I tried the default 1bash in 19-1.4 and seemed fine, I changed for ETH and enabled teamviewer, then this happend:

Do you think is a image problem?

Whats the deal? I have this issue with every rig thats more than 3 cards on nvOC

gigabyte 270 d3 mobo g4400 or g4400t cpu ddr4 4 gb ram risers 6x 1080 TI dual psu

I have had this problem on 4 6 card builds and a 12 card with the h110 . .smOS works perfect on the same rigs

Screen resolution is messed up and mining never begins

Hi VoskCoin,
This is strange, as I have nvOC v0019-1.4 running on a h110 mobo with 12 GTX1060 flawlessly.
Your monitor output should be connected to the GPU on the main PCIe x16 slot (the larger one).
Did you edit the 3main file?

Must be nice T_T
No just the 1bash

Are you editing your 1bash on your PC or on the actual rig?

Both. I edit 1bash most of the time through an ssh connection with the nano editor. Occasionally I edit 1bash with gedit if I am in front of the rig (in the unlikely occasion if a monitor/keyboard/mouse are connected to the rig) or connected with TeamViewer.

One of my rigs just failed. 
I suspect it was one of the cables that got stuck into the CPU fan.
Motherboard and processor seem completely dead.

I checked the PSU with the paper clip method and it looks like it is working.

If it was really a cable that blocked the CPU fan, is the CPU unrecoverable? (I was convinced that most processors had a protection mechanism of some sort)

I have never seen a hot CPU die. Typically, it just crashes and restarts. What you did is not much different that trying to OC a CPU beyond its thermal  limits and I never killed one that way. If you haven't already, start with the basics - mobo with only power and front panel connectors - no cards in slots or other cables and troubleshoot from there.

Hope this helps.

Hi Stubo,
You were right. It's the motherboard that gave up. The CPU is perfectly fine. :-)

The way that I restart the miner after a config change is the following:

Ssh into the rig
run the command "pkill -e miner" (without the quotes).
This kills the mining process/es.

Watchdog will pick up that utilization is low and restart the miner automatically.

Works just fine for me. ...

Good to know. I have never seen a mobo fail from CPU heat but I have fried my fair share of them doing other stupid things. <- Don't Ask.
