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

[papampi]

Hello!
First of all, thank you for this freeware os.

I have a quastion about working this os with nvidia p104 cards.
I have systems with only P104 cards. So, I have to connect monitor to the integrated video.
My systems can't work properly with these cards, nvidia x-server fails or can't apply oc for the cards. I tryied "p106 full headless mode" but it didn't help.
How to get system with P104 cards working?

P104 and P102 will be added to next version, for now,
As soon as rig starts and gnome-terminal opens, close it.
Open and edit /home/m1/3main

Change:

Code:

if grep -q "P106-100" /tmp/tempa;
then
  ___1050_or_1050ti="YES"
  P106_100="YES"
fi

To:

Code:

if grep -q -E 'P106|P104|P102' /tmp/tempa;
then
  ___1050_or_1050ti="YES"
  P106_100="YES"
fi

Reboot,
After start it should update Xorg and ask you to disconnect monitor and then it will reboot in 5 seconds.
Should start mining ok
You can then connect with ssh

I got a card that doesn't overclock for some reason, MSI Gamers X 8G w/ MICRON and i'am mining eth. It gets 26mh and thats it.... I set PL 140, CO 100, MO 1250

What output do you get from "./nvOC gpuinfo"? It will show the current settings. Be sure to execute this command while mining or the pstate will be wrong. Here is one of my rigs with 1070s:

   Concerning the Vbasic version of this, has anyone here used it?    I did a 80G HD with the img and let it run for a while but not sure if it was really doing much for me. It was logging shares at an impressive rate but then there are 90+ thousand miners you will "share with" too. How does it rate with the 2.0 S/W at the end of the day?  Actually is a very swift and easy way to get to the mining arena. Guess it auto converts to BTC for you then you send that to the exchange instead of the ETH.

To me, it appears that your core is overclocking but your memory seems low. It could be a characteristic of the memory on that card. I would try increasing the PL since that card has a very high (291) Max Power as compared to my 1070's. I don't have any 1070 ti's [yet] but I do have a couple of MSI cards and they love power. Try again with POWERLIMIT_WATTS=175 or 180 and see if the Memory speeds up.

Also, what are you mining and what sort of hash rate are you getting? It might help to compare that as well.

Tried XMR today with MPH. Can connect get new jobs but no hashrate. Whats the deal?

Etherium
doesn't matter what i set the memory over clock it always at 26

Code:

POWERLIMIT="YES"            # YES or NO # Choose YES to set Global Power Limit for all GPU's

POWERLIMIT_WATTS=175         # Global Power Limit in watts for all GPU's. If enabled, INDIVIDUAL settings will override this. 

__CORE_OVERCLOCK=100       # Global Core overclock for all GPU's if not using INDIVIDUAL settings

MEMORY_OVERCLOCK=1250      # Global Memory overclock for all GPU's if not using INDIVIDUAL settings

still at the same 26mhs..

i am an idiot lol didn't see it

i am on supernova, whats the proper way to enter the info i got. Where does the password go ?

Code:

another error i get when machine reboots/boot Xorg .. rebooting 5sec... but if i close the terminal and wait 30 sec launch it again it works.

miner password is not important but if you like its variable setting is

Code:

MINER_PWD="x"

Change it in 1bash


P.S
Worker name with space gonna give error, change it.

Has anybody mining ETH tried the "OhGodAnETHlargementPill"? It is an executable that makes the DDR5 memory on 1080 Ti's come to life, big time.

I found the linux version here:
https://github.com/OhGodACompany/OhGodAnETHlargementPill/blob/master/OhGodAnETHlargementPill-r2

and I can validate that it runs on nvOC. I don't mine ETH but I tried it on one of my machines with 4 x 1080 Ti and my hash rate went from 145 to 203. So that is a 33% speed increase.

To run it for testing, what I did was open a second putty terminal, DL the file into /home/m1/Downloads, make it executable, change to root and execute it. Then I started up my miner on ETH. It goes kind of like this:

Code:

cd /home/m1/Downloads
wget -N https://github.com/OhGodACompany/OhGodAnETHlargementPill/blob/master/OhGodAnETHlargementPill-r2
chmod +x OhGodAnETHlargementPill-r2
sudo su - 
cd /home/m1/Downloads
./OhGodAnETHlargementPill-r2

Then, leave that running and start your miner. What I did was have the miner running already, and then kill it just after starting the pill executable. In just a few seconds, the watchdog restarted my miner for me.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: There is some talk about the Windows version being flagged as being a virus or trojan horse so use at your own risk and proceed with caution.

That means that you did not define your $WORKERNAME as a miner in suprnova. See this test using HUSH (the only one I have defined to use suprnova) where I change from one that works to one that doesn't to recreate your error:

Code:

So you need to add miner "MSITest" to your suprnova account and then it should work. Without that, suprnova doesn't know who is mining.

Thank you for all you help, really appreciated!

 Why does my miner after it boots, i get a message xrog failed restart in 5 seconds... but i close the miner and restart it and it works just fine.  Any idea why that's happening?

 Maybe papampi know ?

Is the internal GPU disabled in bios?
Please post output of gpuinfo

Code:

~/nvOC gpuinfo

If you are not using p106 cards you can restore default xorg with:

Code:

sudo wget -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/papampi/nvOC_by_fullzero_Community_Release/19-2.1/xorg.conf -O /etc/X11/xorg.conf.default
sudo cp '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
sudo cp '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.default' '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'

If using p106:

Code:

sudo nvidia-xconfig --enable-all-gpus --cool-bits=12

And Reboot.

Thanks to stubo for testing and giving info on OhGodAnETHlargementPill for 1080 and 1080TI Ethahsh mining pill
In this post

You can do this to add it to nvOC 19-2.0, (it will be included in next version)

Code:

cd /home/m1/Downloads
wget -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OhGodACompany/OhGodAnETHlargementPill/master/OhGodAnETHlargementPill-r2
chmod a+x /home/m1/Downloads/OhGodAnETHlargementPill-r2
cp /home/m1/Downloads/OhGodAnETHlargementPill-r2 /home/m1/OhGodAnETHlargementPill-r2

1bash add:

Code:

OhGodAnETHlargementPill="YES"

3main before miner start command (before line 1087):

Code:

  reup=0
  running=$(ps ax | grep -v cpuminer | grep -i screen | grep miner | awk '"miner" {print $1}')

Add:

Code:

    if [[ $OhGodAnETHlargementPill == "YES" ]] && [[ $ALGORITHM == "ETHASH" ]]
    then
      echo " Launching OhGodAnETHlargementPill"
      HCD="/home/m1/OhGodAnETHlargementPill-r2"
      if ! ps ax  | grep -v grep | grep -q OhGodAnETHlargementPill
      then
        screen -dmS eth_pill sudo $HCD 
        if [[ LOCAL_OR_REMOTE == "LOCAL" ]]
        then
          guake -n $HCD -r ETH_PILL -e "screen -r eth_pill"
        fi      
      fi
    else
      pkill -f OhGodAnETHlargementPill-r2
    fi

Edit:

If you dont use algo specific oc
In 1bash before algo specific oc setting  add :

Code:

 if [ $COIN == "ETH" -o $COIN == "ETC" -o $COIN == "EXP" -o $COIN == "UBQ" -o $COIN == "MUSIC" -o $COIN == "SOIL" -o $COIN == "MPH_ETHASH" -o $COIN == "PIRL" -o $COIN == "NICE-ETHASH" ]
  then
    ALGORITHM="ETHASH"
  fi

I am currently trying to get the best of nvOC into rxOC. I now this is nvOC thread but I am already very unusual doing and in rxOC thread it feels like no one reads so I have slight hope somebody has a key tip for me here.

I tried to implement WTM switch on my own into my rxOC rig. I failed because too many things to change regarding to watchdog. Then I had the idea to remain my rxOC image and simply copy all things from nvOC home/m1 folder into rxOC home/m1 folder, edited a couple of neccessary things. Now when I insert one card, everything works fine and WTM switches to profitable coin on rxOC!

Unfortunately, when inserting a second card I get this message:

https://ibb.co/ga8obx

I also got this once with one card. After a reboot everything worked fine again. I already switched off integrated gpu in bios. maybe somebody can point me in the right direction please?

btw: still no hashing on xmr on my original nvOC rig. is this working?
