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

@trillo
    The perpetual log in screen is a broken update. Load up 1.4 and use the upgrade script available from Papampi. I am using it now and it works so good. Run the script as user M1 not root and you will get all the updates and all the latest miners with all the new added coins too. Just cant beat it. If you use the auto switch, make sure you add all the necessary info on "each" coin you have so it can connect to the appropriate pools and correct addresses to your wallets too.

Hi guys,
I'm running two rigs with 10 GTX1070TI each and the latest version.
During the last days both rigs terminated the auto switch with the following message:

Code:

/home/m1/8wtm_auto_switch: line 87: 113462
113462
113462
367 / 60 : syntax error in expression (error token is "113462
113462
367 / 60 ")
m1@acs-miner1:~$ 

Any ideas?

Also a good point to say thank you very much for this great IMG.
I was using a lot of other operatig systems but this one is the best of all!
Some friends of me were changing too and having a smile on their face ;-)

Thats wierd ...
Line 87 is for the minimum mining time

Do you use pluscpu too?
Local or remote?
Do you use "screen -r miner" to check miner output?

Please open 8wtm_auto_switch and  change  line 86

Code:

    MINER_TIME=$(ps -eo pid,etimes | grep $(ps -ef | grep -i screen | grep miner |awk '{print $2}') | awk '{print $2}')

To:

Code:

    MINER_TIME=$(ps -eo pid,etimes | grep $(ps -ef | grep SCREEN | grep miner | grep -v cpuminer | head -1 | awk '{print $2}') | awk '{print $2}')

Lets see if that happens again or not

After edit run:

Code:

pkill -f 8wtm
pkill -f 5watchdog
pkill -f 3main

Or simply run below code :

Code:

cd /home/m1/Downloads
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/3fbrlv4t5js8xt7/wtm_update
bash /home/m1/Downloads/wtm_update

Would I be able to add any pool and coin I want into the 1bash if the algo is already supported?

Yes you can do that using very simple steps.

for eg;

ETH_WORKER="miner"
ETH_ADDRESS="kryptoMiner"
ETH_POOL="europe.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20535"
ETH_EXTENSION_ARGUMENTS=""

You can go with any pool you want to mine with.

You can also mine other coins which use same algo, above you can put ETC address and ETC pool and you can mine ETC with that.

Its just a template where you can use it how ever you want.

Hi
I'm new to mining and have found it very easy to use the nvOC, so big thank you for creating it.
If my questions are in the wrong forum then I apologize in advance.
Currently running 1 x 1070 TI to test and it mines ZEN on Luckpool. Avg. Hash: 474, Sol/W: 3.09. GPU temp 59C
I was expecting more, but am I wrong or is there more I need to do?

Observations:
When rig has been running for a couple og hours the panel on the left side in ibuntu disappears. If you mouse-over the description shows, but nothing happens when you click.
Can I do anything?



Thanks.

I was trying nvOC earlier but I didn't see the OneBash anywhere even though I was just watching a youtube demonstration, and I don't even see an installation section either.

Needless to say, I am going through a lot of pains trying to get Linux mining working and I've given up on basic Ubuntu

I think those videos were outdated and try to find for 1bash instead of oneBash, you don't see an installation section because you don't install anything!

You just download the image, unzip it, write/flash that image to a 32 GB memory card or any SSD (recommended) & edit your 1bash by adding your address details or your own preferred pool details, plug it to your MOB. Everything starts on its own, no hazzle/pain.

That Image is a self contained, pre loaded with latest drivers, latest mining software and all the required files.

People here try to help you instantly and the discord channel too.

Hope it makes sense, let me know if you need more information on how to use it.

EDIT :

There are some tutorials may help you using nvOC here http://nvoc-mining-os.com/

No

Local

Do you use "screen -r miner" to check miner output?

Miner output was ok but mined in the last switched coin before WTM was terminated

Please open 8wtm_auto_switch and  change  line 86

Code:

    MINER_TIME=$(ps -eo pid,etimes | grep $(ps -ef | grep -i screen | grep miner |awk '{print $2}') | awk '{print $2}')

To:

Code:

    MINER_TIME=$(ps -eo pid,etimes | grep $(ps -ef | grep SCREEN | grep miner | grep -v cpuminer | head -1 | awk '{print $2}') | awk '{print $2}')

Lets see if that happens again or not

After edit run:

Code:

pkill -f 8wtm
pkill -f 5watchdog
pkill -f 3main

Changes were done.

Many thanks - will keep you informed.

Guys what was the  solution for the situation when nvoc0017 at login asks for  m1 user password but it doesn't accept miner1 ? i remember   someone posted  40-50 pages ago a solution for remote access tackling of this issue,  but in my case i am using the PC locally.
Reflashed the usb  thumb drive  4 times already, it was working fine for several months before and would show this screen only after power button would be used to turn the pc off suddenly .  Now every time I start from the flash drive it goes to the m1 login window.

I think best is to update to latest versions

Will see how the 19.1.4 behaves, nvoc17 has been rock solid for months on my computers mining zec or nicehash equihash, did not need any babysitting at all. Several attempts to run v19 before lead to issues with  random restarts due to some scripts messing around, tried to identify but could not make it work stable  so used v17 all along.  i  usually put manual fans setting, individual clocks and individual power and no automatic temp /power control .

Press alt+ctrl+f1 at login screen..then login and enter the following command
sudo dpkg --configure -a

I have nvOC19 image, how to apply the 19.2.0 update? Do I need to re-download a huge disk image?

Nope, just run the update script

Code:

Hi all,

I have trying nvOC this week and I learnt lot's of things with this distrib.
Thanks

I installed v0019-1.4 with 2.0 community update. Is it good ?
For now I'm trying to work on neoscrypt currencies but all version of ccminer except SPccminer crash on some cuda function call.
Unfortunately it's look like SPccminer is 20% slower than KTccminer.

Is there a good working version of nvOC for neoscrypt algo ?

Many Thanks

There is no better version for some algo, new versions change stability scripts and update miners
ccminer crash is usually because of high intensity, try to play with it and find sweet spot for your card

Actually I get it to work on another installation.
I compiled ccminer  from tpruvot ( cuda 9 branch) and I get better result even without overcloking the card
I'm going to compile KlausT version to test.

That's exactly what I'm saying
Better or worse hash rate are in miners not in nvOC versions.

Please upload and post link of your compiled miners so others can use them too.
Thanks

Sorry I think I don't understand.
My point is that some ccminer variant installed with nvOC should work on NeoScrypt.
It's look like one of the best is ccminer from KlausT, which is installed by default.
But it crash with NeoScrypt. I tried lowering the intensity but still don't work.

Maybee I have a problem with my install, I will try to redo the image.

I compiled ccminer from tpruvot on a centOS so I don't think it will work on nvOC. Will check

thanks

Hi papampi,

great work until my small help on WTM scripts. Congratulation!!

I using testing nvOC-19-2.0 community, now. I've a small problem with auto switching WTM coins... Detected new one, but no switch...

Log for WTM:

Code:

Currently mining ALTCOM coin is no longer more profitabile with 249
Switching to new MONA coin 190

Set up coin in 1bash is still:

Code:

COIN="ALTCOM"

Thanks for advice.

Found the problem
It was happening when miner was restarted by watchdog and wtm couldn't find the miner up time.
It should be fixed now.


Any one on wtm auto switch v0008 please update to latest v0010 by running :

Code:

cd /home/m1/Downloads
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/3fbrlv4t5js8xt7/wtm_update
bash /home/m1/Downloads/wtm_update

Hi mate and thanks again for your helps in wtm python script
Will check now, see if I can find the problem


Edit 1:
Just checked 8wtm_auto_switch script and it switched between MONA and ALTCOM with no problem.
Can you check and see if WTM_SWITCHER can write to WTM_top_coin or not?
May be a permission problem
Does other coins switch?

Edit 2:
Please put this in a test file and run with different coins in WTM_top_coin and 1bash COIN see if it can change 1bash or not

Code:

#!/bin/bash
source /home/m1/1bash
CURRENT_COIN=$COIN
TOP_COIN=$(cat /home/m1/WTM_top_coin | sed 's/:[0-9]*//' )
echo "$CURRENT_COIN"
echo "$TOP_COIN"

if [[ "$CURRENT_COIN" != "$TOP_COIN" ]]; then
  sed -i '/^#/!s/'COIN=\"$CURRENT_COIN\"'/'COIN=\"$TOP_COIN\"/'' /home/m1/1bash
  source /home/m1/1bash
  CURRENT_COIN=$COIN
  TOP_COIN=$(cat /home/m1/WTM_top_coin | sed 's/:[0-9]*//' )
  echo "Changed"
  echo "Current Coin: $CURRENT_COIN"
  echo "Top Coin: $TOP_COIN"
else
  echo "same coin"
  source /home/m1/1bash
  CURRENT_COIN=$COIN
  TOP_COIN=$(cat /home/m1/WTM_top_coin | sed 's/:[0-9]*//' )
  echo "Current Coin: $CURRENT_COIN"
  echo "Top Coin: $TOP_COIN"
fi

I just checked and latest Klaust is 8.17 and the one included in 19-2.0 is 8.15
I will compile and an update for it.

Klaust 8.17 change log:

Code:

fix possible problem with high intensities
fix bug in -d option (numbers > 9 are working now)
fix Linux build

P.S: Do you have cuda 9.1 installed?

Did you run the update script with sudo too ?
If yes please run this (thnx to wi$em@n suggestion)

Code:

sudo chown -R m1 /home/m1

Im bit confused what to run now...

So i should run this as SUDO

Code:

./nvOC report

then this

Code:

sudo chown -R m1 /home/m1

Question about update under SUDO is this one?:

Code:

cd ~/Downloads
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/s3rkv2o3bynqnpm/nvOC-19-2-update
bash ~/Downloads/nvOC-19-2-update

I didnt run the update under SUDO...wasnt in instructions https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg26128098#msg26128098

FYI: its a bit messy to search thought 300+ pages what to do an how, would be great to update 1st page.

Thanks

1. Run the update script as normal user m1 (Do NOT use sudo)

2. Run this:  sudo chown -R m1 /home/m1

3. Edit your 1bash with your settings, addresses, OC... (do NOT use sudo for this)

4. Run the miner (you can reboot to start the miner)

5. If after reboot your miner doesnt work, execute this as normal user m1 (do NOT use sudo):   ./nvOC report

6. Post the report here (copy everything between the code marks)

Downloaded from here...

Code:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/s3rkv2o3bynqnpm/nvOC-19-2-update

There were few issues i was able to run it in the end, but ended with error is it normal?

thanks

Code:

Guys, got new MB Gigabyte AORUS GA-AX370-GAMING 5 with Ryzen 1700 and having issue that when i boot into nvOC with one card i can see Ubuntu UI terminals etc...

Main card with Monitor plugged in is in

Soon as i add 2nd card i see ubuntu loading screen but when is should show the OS UI is just black screen

I can log via SSH and see that is mining , but i would like to keep option to see the "real" screen also...

Any clue where what to check?
