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

   OK papmp, got the time stamp going but had to put the change into the WTM check and not auto switch as it is off.  I am only wanting at this time to see what coins are bobbing to the top and for how long and what kind of frequency that they will have.  Years ago I did an AI program for the stock market and it did quite well for a long time until they found out I had it running and changed the game.  Then "08 came and wiped out all I did. 
   I see patterns and that is what I am looking for here as well.  Once I have a sufficient data set to work with, I will be able to predict which will be the best to run... I hope..

Crypto as soon as I get the thing soused out I will be glad to pass on to you. It will be a simple form of which you will extract the data comma delimited and import to excel like pgm.

You will have to extend the size of the log file for What to min check so you can capture a large amount of data

   I did find out what my restart problem was.   I have a GPU that is falling out now and then. It seems to have a different style of ram in it than the others and is a bit slower. So the WatchDog says you had a GPU fall out and I am re-starting the 3main which brings it back for whatever time until it does it again.  Limits my down time on the tester and so is working great.

thanks again     thay

Hope my comments are helpful and not a hinderence.    I do seem to come across the wrong way some times.

Hello,
in the PAPAMPI WTM_AUTO_SWITCH settings, what is the exact role of the setting:

WTM_AUTO_SWITCH_SYNC_INTERVAL="3"

I suppose the units here are minutes.

Cheers

That's the time in minutes between syncing and getting coins profitability data from whattomine.com

Hello everyone.

I want just to say thanks to anyone who makes our lives easier with this great distro...

I noticed a problem/bug with the community build. it was working great on ast Fullzero release 1.4 and i'm talking about wi-fi networking. Yes i'm using one rig with wi fi for obvious resons, and it was working great (tp-link 722n - chipset rtl8801eu), but since i made the update to community build the wi fi after every restart just hangs, stops working. usb stick isnt recognized. if i take it out of usb and reconnect everything starts working.


any idea what could be or what to do. can anyone take a look. maybe some boot priority for usb drivers?


thx

Thanks for the answer. I guess it doesn't have a big impact and I can live the value as it is.

As per my post #6160 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg26247720#msg26247720), I think the only "changes" made in 19-2.0 that could be responsible for this are normal Ubuntu updates made by the upgrade script. As such, the next time you try the upgrade, change this line of the script and see if it resolves the issue:

Code:

sudo -- sh -c 'apt update; apt upgrade -y; apt autoremove -y; apt autoclean -y; sudo apt install -y moreutils gawk'

to

Code:

sudo -- sh -c 'sudo apt install -y moreutils gawk'

So, what that will do is upgrade your nvOC version to 19-2.0 but will not make any changes to your underlying Ubuntu system such as driver updates which I think are probably to blame here.

Give it a go and let us know if it works for you.

Hi guys, even after the new latest bios flash of my mobo, my situation remains the same ... trying nvOC 19-14 and 19-2 and I'm not able to boot my rig (black screen) ... If I look at my usb key after the facts, there are no more 1bash's file, no more 8coins file and no more Trash directory ...

Uefi bios enable >4G done
Disable onboard gpu done
Legacy usb support enabled done

Wonder what's wrong ? any ideas ? ...

Only 19-13 works here ...

Black screen tells me you are probably running LOCAL. Have you tried to ssh (putty) into it from a windows machine? When I have seen that black screen on my rigs, I have found that GPU0 has changed and the display is showing on another GPU that I am not connected to. If possible (open air rig), you could try connecting your monitor to the other GPUs until you find it. Or, if you are on 19-2.0, you can use the nvOC utility's gpumap function to find it:

Code:

./nvOC gpumap

Hope this helps.

I think nvoc system is not uefi compatible. I would try to disable uefi bios.

What version of nvOC? Are you LOCAL or REMOTE configuration?

[infowire]

So i mined for two weeks or more, no issue.  All the sudden is goes off online and watchdog keeps rebooting.   Why can teamviewer be on the bash script.... every time terminal is ran is restarts teamview...

I think nvoc system is not uefi compatible. I would try to disable uefi bios.

I'm already using no uefi (legacy enabled and secure boot disabled), this is not the problem.

Strange thing is that all working nicely with 19-13 and lan's leds showing activities but with 19-14 still have black screen and no lan's leds activities at all ... any other idea ?

Regards.

Black screen tells me you are probably running LOCAL. Have you tried to ssh (putty) into it from a windows machine? When I have seen that black screen on my rigs, I have found that GPU0 has changed and the display is showing on another GPU that I am not connected to. If possible (open air rig), you could try connecting your monitor to the other GPUs until you find it. Or, if you are on 19-2.0, you can use the nvOC utility's gpumap function to find it:

Code:

./nvOC gpumap

Hope this helps.

Indeed, I was on LOCAL mode.

I've just used ssh with 19-14. I can connect to my rig but I have always the same message asking me to restart my computer ...
any other idea ?

Please,
Execute in remote ssh terminal (Or at tty01 (CTRL+ALT+F1)) the nvOC report command and give us here the result by copy/paste
nvOC file to diagnose is in /home/m1

Code:

nvOC report

Set this to NO in 1 bash

Code:

AUTO_START_MINER="NO"      # YES or NO # Set this to NO when troubleshooting, this will prevent the watchdog restarting the rig

And try to execute or copy paste the minning command without automatic loop of nvOC Like that but in replacing variables :

Code:

if [ $COIN == "ZCOIN" ]
then
  HCD='/home/m1/TPccminer/ccminer'
  ADDR="$ZCOIN_ADDRESS.$ZCOIN_WORKER"
[b]  screen -dmSL miner $HCD -a lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://$ZCOIN_POOL:$ZCOIN_PORT -u $ADDR -p $MINER_PWD[/b]

This Linux support for B250 Expert Mining with 19 GPUs?

Yes

[piccionipier]

It really is pretty easy to use! Is there a hypothetical gpu limit for the terminal at all or is it theoretically infinitely scalabe? thnx in advance!
