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

[Stubo]

Hi guys
Nvidia driver updated today to version 384.111. I did as same as above. Everythings work fine, except power usage got ERR! in nvidia-smi and in miner shows 0w. I guess because of the new driver.
I'm wondering if there's any way I can downgrade Nvidia driver to 384.90 which is my old driver version. If it's possible please teach me step by step, I'm very new to Linux. Thank you very much.

As I posted just a few posts ago...  The downgrade to a previous version is done via locally attached display using these instructions from leenoox:

The easiest way is LOCAL:
1. I suggest closing all apps, ctrl-c on wdog, temp, miner
2. click on the 4th icon on the left-side panel "Additional Drivers"
3. in the new window click on "Additional Drivers" tab
4. click on the "Using NVIDIA binary driver - version 384.90 from..."
5. click on "Apply Changes" button <this can take a while>
6. enter root password: miner1
6. reboot

All my miners died today??
I read something about driver update??

If I boot it doesn't go anywhere after boot screen..

I think my nvoc image is broken cause of update..

This is on all installs..

I don't have remote access.
All I get when I restart is boot screen -> black screen for ages.

Do I have to reimage.. if so how do I prevent this happening next time driver update?

What was your version?
This is fixed in 19-1.4 and 19-2.0

I believe it was 19-1-4 however I manually all updated them from 1-2 or 1-3..

I'm ordering some usb sticks so I have some backups I can just swap stick. Instead of having to image these ssd's each time something is wrong

Nvidia driver 384 is updated today and it was on 19-1.3 and before
19-1.4 and later are on Nvidia 387

Setup password-less SSH on Your Rigs

This is useful if you have multiple rigs and getting tired of putting ssh password every time logging into your rigs.
Also good if you want to run commands from ssh but not start ssh session, for example just want to know miner command on rig 2 or if watchdog is running on rig 3 ...

To make sure outsiders dont have access to all your rigs dont open the rig ssh port you want to enable ssh password-less login from on your router. Any one who has access to this rig has access to all your rigs via ssh.
What I do is I forwarded a random port to ssh port of Rig 2 on router, remote ssh to rig 2, then ssh from rig 2 to rig 1 with password and do all stuff from rig 1 to all my rigs without password.

Run this on rig 1:

Code:

ssh-keygen

You can leave all options empty on prompts.

Then to enable passwordless on your rig 2 with internal ip 192.168.1.102 run:

Code:

ssh-copy-id m1@192.168.1.102

It will ask for m1 password default is "miner1", same process for all other rigs

Now ssh to your rig 2

Code:

ssh m1@192.168.1.102

It should login without asking for password.

Now you can run any commands on rig 2 from rig 1 with this command :

Code:

ssh m1@192.168.1.102 command

Example, get nvOC report on rig 2 :

Code:

ssh m1@192.168.1.102 ./nvOC report

Or to restart miner on rig 3:

Code:

ssh m1@192.168.1.103 miner-restart

Thanks, Pap. I have been meaning to get around to this. It was very helpful and worked perfectly.

When I try to write the .img file to the usb drive, it says the downloaded file is corrupted. I deleted the file and am going to try again. Anyone else run into this issue?

[geekcryptogal]

Which version of noc should I download for MSI Z270 and 4 x Nvidia 1070 ti?  I see a 2.0 version and 1.9 version.  I see 3 different 1.9 versions for nvidia cards.  I want to be able to mine anything on whattomine.com. 

SOrry if this was already explained in this thread, but it's over 300 pages, and my head is spinning lol.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Black screen while on riser:

Recently tried out the community build. It works well with at least 1 GPU that's mounted on the mobo. However, as soon as I have all GPU units connected to the mobo through risers, I couldn't see any video signal out of my HDMI cable that's connected to one of the GPUs.

This situation is reproduced even with 1 GPU connected through a riser. Is this a known issue or is it my setup ?

Motherboard: MSI Z270 SLI PLUS
GPU: zotac 1080 ti

Please advise.

Thx!

Thank you! the monitor worked with cards off the mobo through risers. step 1 worked: attach risers to mobo in order of 16x pcie first, and from to to bottom in order.

So last night my power to the house went out, they restored it this morning and now I have 6 rigs that will not login.
They boot to the M1 login screen and when I enter the miner1 psw it goes to a black screen for a few seconds then right back to the login.

Did every single one of my flash drives get corrupted or what?

19-2.0 is the latest stable community release with latest wtm auto switch.

If you been on 19-1.3 or older Nvidia driver updated today and has nothing to do with power outage.

Run

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Update problem is solved in 19-2.0

Your downloaded file is corrupted, check the checksum sha
And download again

Edit: have you extracted the compressed file before imaging it?

Glad you liked it.
Wanted to post it for long time but kept forgetting
its a life saver and very good for multiple rig
Just add commands for all rigs to a bash file and run it

what does the pstate in gpuinfo mean? Some of the cards run at p0, others run at p2.

Guys this community version is still capable with 16Gb right?

use 120g ssd please,  1 of my usb disk was damaged and I had to drive 60 miles to replace it.

You dont need 120Gb SSD
You can get 60 Gb as low as 30$
