I have an issue with storage. I used usb 32gb to load the os. However, when I check property of "my computer" in linux, it only says 14gb capacity. I wonder what happens to the other 16gb. That's the reason why I always have warning of running out of storage. Anyone having the same issue?

fullzero, is it possible to use the hidden disk spaces? My usb key is 32GB, but I cannot see all of them in nvOC:

Code:

m1@m1-desktop:~$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev            1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /dev
tmpfs           392M   12M  380M   3% /run
/dev/sda2        15G   13G  920M  94% /
tmpfs           2.0G  192K  2.0G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs           2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs           392M   56K  392M   1% /run/user/1000
/dev/sda1       8.9M   60K  8.8M   1% /media/m1/1263-A96E

You can extend the primary partition on any key / ssd; by connecting it to a computer with nvOC that has already booted and clicking the ubuntu launcher at the top left and typing

Code:

gp

then click Gparted.  Find the sdb drive select the larger partition; it it is mounted unmount it; then rightclick and select resize and set the max size.

click the green checkmark to execute the change, wait for completion and it should be ~17gb larger.

Also you can remove unused header files with this oneliner from _Parallax_:

Code:

sudo apt-get purge $(dpkg -l linux-{image,headers}-"[0-9]*" | awk '/ii/{print $2}' | grep -ve "$(uname -r | sed -r 's/-[a-z]+//')")

Hi,
I have Lexar S75 32gb. After i installed 0018 im getting message "low disk space" I reflashed usb many times but error comes again and again

What program did you use to flash it? Did you use HDDRawcopy?

What did you use to copy the image over to the USB ?

THE IMAGE FITS A 16GB DRIVE--

The image is about 16GB.  It will not occupy the entire 32GB drive.  After flashing, you must resize the ~16GB partition created in order to use the entire drive.       --scryptr

Hi guys,

i do a little "how to" if some people want to mine SIGT / skunk algo.

First of all i use Palginmodccminer ( the SP_MOD is faster but u have to pay )

FIRST STEP GET THE CLIENT

### Be in home dir ###

cd /m1/home/

### Create a directory for your new miner ###

mkdir PMccminer

### Go in new dir ###

cd PMccminer/

### Download miner client ###

wget https://github.com/palginpav/ccminer/releases/download/1.1/palginmod_1.1_Ubuntu.tar.gz

### Extract the file ###

tar -zxvf palginmod_1.1_Ubuntu.tar.gz

### Delete start.sh ###

rm start.sh

### Back to home dir ###

cd /m1/home/

SECOND STEP EDIT BASH

### Open 1bash

nano 1bash

### Add SIGT  and  SIGT_BTC to the coin selection

# CHOOSE COIN FROM:
# DMD  GRS  ZPOOL_LYRA2V2  ZPOOL_BLAKE2S
# ZEC   ZCOIN  HUSH   ZEN  ZCL   SIGT  SIGT_BTC
# NICE_ETHASH  ETH    MUSIC  ETC  EXP  DCR  PASC
# MONA  VTC    DGB    SIA  FTC  LBC
# DUAL_ETC_DCR    DUAL_ETC_PASC    DUAL_ETC_LBC    DUAL_ETC_SC
# DUAL_EXP_DCR    DUAL_EXP_PASC    DUAL_EXP_LBC    DUAL_EXP_SC
# DUAL_ETH_DCR    DUAL_ETH_PASC    DUAL_ETH_LBC    DUAL_ETH_SC
# DUAL_MUSIC_DCR  DUAL_MUSIC_PASC  DUAL_MUSIC_LBC  DUAL_MUSIC_SC

### Add SIGT and SIGT_BTC specs ( u have to modify SIGT_WORKER and SIGT_ADDRESS by your seting )

SIGT_WORKER="SIGT"
SIGT_ADDRESS="Bibi187"
SIGT_POOL="stratum+tcp://sigt.suprnova.cc:7106"
 
###SIGT_BTC use BTC adresses###
SIGT_BTC_POOL="stratum+tcp://skunk.mine.zpool.ca:8433"

### If u use SIGT_BTC, be sure to get correct ( your BTC adress )

BTC_ADDRESS="3JJaMUVBJp55BNsGvYynaJhDXRyUf95hyG"

### Add miner specs to the end of ur file between the two last "fi"   ( ensure ur worker have x password on suprnova pool, or modify the "-p x" by "-p YourPassword" in the SIGT section )

if [ $COIN == "SIGT_BTC" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/PMccminer/ccminer'
ADDR="$BTC_ADDRESS"
 
screen -dmS miner $HCD -a skunk -o $SIGT_BTC_POOL -u $ADDR -p c=SIGT
 
if [ $LOCALorREMOTE == "LOCAL" ]
then
screen -r miner
fi
 
BITCOIN="theGROUND"
 
while [ $BITCOIN == "theGROUND" ]
do
sleep 60
done
fi
 
if [ $COIN == "SIGT" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/PMccminer/ccminer'
ADDR="$SIGT_ADDRESS.$SIGT_WORKER"
 
screen -dmS miner $HCD -a skunk -o $SIGT_POOL -u $ADDR -p x
 
if [ $LOCALorREMOTE == "LOCAL" ]
then
screen -r miner
fi
 
BITCOIN="theGROUND"
 
while [ $BITCOIN == "theGROUND" ]
do
sleep 60
done
fi

THIRD STEP OC SETTING ( ASUS 1070 GTX 8OG / prolly ok for most 1070 gtx )

First of all this algo, gona get a lot of heat from your card, he use core, not memory.

CoreClock : 120
MemClock : -2000
PowerLimit at default : 150W
Temp Target 70°
Fan between 95% - 75%  ( I use watchdog )

This fine tunning work like a charm 213mh/s on suprnova, 211mh/s on zpool

U have to disable

IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG="NO"

Or your RIG gona get restart for nothing, i dont modify IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG, if i do prolly i can get him work with this setup but more simple to stop him for this coin


Et voila

I used hddrawcopy to flash it. I believe I have the same warning error that bober has. How do you resize the 16gb partition? Is it the way how to do it?

I'm experiencing a slight inconvenience with the system. I have a MSI Z170 Gaming M5 motherboard with 7 GTX 1070 GPUs connected to it. Configured the motherboard as per the instructions and wrote nvOC onto an SSD drive. The system works great when I have only one GPU connected to the motherboard (boots, GUI loads, and it starts mining).

But, once I connect all 7 GPUs, it takes much longer to load and I only get a blank screen. The monitor is connected to the first GPU. The system starts mining after a while but my display remains blank.

Any ideas?

Try to find the "bad" vidocard, pretty sure it has bad riser

[BigHashMiner]

bah, no support. no use.

So you expect the dev to never take a break from work and be available 24/7 to support a product they provide free for the community?

how does me saying no support, no use has something in there saying that the dev should not take a break. the nvoc is not supporting what I am doing, so there is no use for it for me. really just basic english i am using here, there wasn't anything hidden in what i was saying.

and actually i think this is a great addition to the community, free or not free.

Do you use last nvOC version with all update from OP ?
If yes, put all your OC setting to 0, and try again.
In the 1bash file, make sure u do

LOCALorREMOTE="LOCAL"       # LOCAL  or  REMOTE

If u have a screen attached, and try again.


If u are on ssh with no screen attached do

screen -ls

### To attach the screen ###

screen -x miner

I don't think that's the case. All GPUs are mining as we speak.

[fullzero]

I have been absent from the forum for the past 8 days; as I was moving ~3400 miles to cheaper power and a much larger power space.  

I was planning on moving mid AUG; but circumstances changed and I quickly packed my things and rigs; transported them nearly coast to coast: then setup all my rigs at a new location and dealt with all the typical errands involved with moving.

I have a lot of pm's and I still need to catch up on several pages of the thread.  I will catch up in time; I am still building new rigs, and have a number of changes I will release when they are properly tested.

IAmNotAJeep and Maxximus007 have an improved version of their watchdog which they have been testing.  I was planning on integrating a few more options into it; but it is significantly improved as is: so I will upload a link to it tonight.  

Edit:  I have posted a Download Link at the top of the OP for the newest Watchdog.

In regards to the Google Drive link being down; I still need to contact Google and see why this has happened.  Nexillus and damNmad: Thanks for hosting the image when it went down.

I'm experiencing a slight inconvenience with the system. I have a MSI Z170 Gaming M5 motherboard with 7 GTX 1070 GPUs connected to it. Configured the motherboard as per the instructions and wrote nvOC onto an SSD drive. The system works great when I have only one GPU connected to the motherboard (boots, GUI loads, and it starts mining).

But, once I connect all 7 GPUs, it takes much longer to load and I only get a blank screen. The monitor is connected to the first GPU. The system starts mining after a while but my display remains blank.

Any ideas?

Try to find the "bad" vidocard, pretty sure it has bad riser

I don't think that's the case. All GPUs are mining as we speak.

When above 4g encoding or similar option is enabled (needed for 7 plus gpus), and multiple gpus are used: it is normal for the screen to display all black during boot.  It should begin to display when ubuntu finishes loading. 

Also the z170 chipset is odd and sometimes the primary GPU isn't the one you expect it to be when using 7 plus GPUs, it is worth connecting the monitor to each GPU and seeing if it has switched the primary display for you.

bah, no support. no use.

So you expect the dev to never take a break from work and be available 24/7 to support a product they provide free for the community?

how does me saying no support, no use has something in there saying that the dev should not take a break. the nvoc is not supporting what I am doing, so there is no use for it for me. really just basic english i am using here, there wasn't anything hidden in what i was saying.

and actually i think this is a great addition to the community, free or not free.

Wish you had used same basic English on your first bah comment.

Anyway happy mining.

How many GPU's for that 213mh/s ?

8 gpu

Hi guys,

i do a little "how to" if some people want to mine SIGT / skunk algo.

First of all i use Palginmodccminer ( the SP_MOD is faster but u have to pay )

FIRST STEP GET THE CLIENT

### Be in home dir ###

cd /m1/home/

### Create a directory for your new miner ###

mkdir PMccminer

### Go in new dir ###

cd PMccminer/

### Download miner client ###

wget https://github.com/palginpav/ccminer/releases/download/1.1/palginmod_1.1_Ubuntu.tar.gz

### Extract the file ###

tar -zxvf palginmod_1.1_Ubuntu.tar.gz

### Delete start.sh ###

rm start.sh

### Back to home dir ###

cd /m1/home/

SECOND STEP EDIT BASH

### Open 1bash

nano 1bash

### Add SIGT  and  SIGT_BTC to the coin selection

# CHOOSE COIN FROM:
# DMD  GRS  ZPOOL_LYRA2V2  ZPOOL_BLAKE2S
# ZEC   ZCOIN  HUSH   ZEN  ZCL   SIGT  SIGT_BTC
# NICE_ETHASH  ETH    MUSIC  ETC  EXP  DCR  PASC
# MONA  VTC    DGB    SIA  FTC  LBC
# DUAL_ETC_DCR    DUAL_ETC_PASC    DUAL_ETC_LBC    DUAL_ETC_SC
# DUAL_EXP_DCR    DUAL_EXP_PASC    DUAL_EXP_LBC    DUAL_EXP_SC
# DUAL_ETH_DCR    DUAL_ETH_PASC    DUAL_ETH_LBC    DUAL_ETH_SC
# DUAL_MUSIC_DCR  DUAL_MUSIC_PASC  DUAL_MUSIC_LBC  DUAL_MUSIC_SC

### Add SIGT and SIGT_BTC specs ( u have to modify SIGT_WORKER and SIGT_ADDRESS by your seting )

SIGT_WORKER="SIGT"
SIGT_ADDRESS="Bibi187"
SIGT_POOL="stratum+tcp://sigt.suprnova.cc:7106"
 
###SIGT_BTC use BTC adresses###
SIGT_BTC_POOL="stratum+tcp://skunk.mine.zpool.ca:8433"

### If u use SIGT_BTC, be sure to get correct ( your BTC adress )

BTC_ADDRESS="3JJaMUVBJp55BNsGvYynaJhDXRyUf95hyG"

### Add miner specs to the end of ur file between the two last "fi"   ( ensure ur worker have x password on suprnova pool, or modify the "-p x" by "-p YourPassword" in the SIGT section )

if [ $COIN == "SIGT_BTC" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/PMccminer/ccminer'
ADDR="$BTC_ADDRESS"
 
screen -dmS miner $HCD -a skunk -o $SIGT_BTC_POOL -u $ADDR -p c=SIGT
 
if [ $LOCALorREMOTE == "LOCAL" ]
then
screen -r miner
fi
 
BITCOIN="theGROUND"
 
while [ $BITCOIN == "theGROUND" ]
do
sleep 60
done
fi
 
if [ $COIN == "SIGT" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/PMccminer/ccminer'
ADDR="$SIGT_ADDRESS.$SIGT_WORKER"
 
screen -dmS miner $HCD -a skunk -o $SIGT_POOL -u $ADDR -p x
 
if [ $LOCALorREMOTE == "LOCAL" ]
then
screen -r miner
fi
 
BITCOIN="theGROUND"
 
while [ $BITCOIN == "theGROUND" ]
do
sleep 60
done
fi

THIRD STEP OC SETTING ( ASUS 1070 GTX 8OG / prolly ok for most 1070 gtx )

First of all this algo, gona get a lot of heat from your card, he use core, not memory.

CoreClock : 120
MemClock : -2000
PowerLimit at default : 150W
Temp Target 70°
Fan between 95% - 75%  ( I use watchdog )

This fine tunning work like a charm 213mh/s on suprnova, 211mh/s on zpool

U have to disable

IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG="NO"

Or your RIG gona get restart for nothing, i dont modify IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG, if i do prolly i can get him work with this setup but more simple to stop him for this coin


Et voila

I've tried with my 1060 6G rig, it failed saying can't find a screen for miner, when i tried 'screen -r miner' on quake terminal, still no luck.

Any Idea why?

Do you use last nvOC version with all update from OP ?
If yes, put all your OC setting to 0, and try again.
In the 1bash file, make sure u do

LOCALorREMOTE="LOCAL"       # LOCAL  or  REMOTE

If u have a screen attached, and try again.


If u are on ssh with no screen attached do

screen -ls

### To attach the screen ###

screen -x miner

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, my rig is up to date with nvOC v 18 with all files.

I was dual mining which was working perfectly well, have stopped it and tried to mine SIGT using your instructions but didn't work. I use local and other coins working as normal.

Anyway will try with 0 of settings and see again, thanks alot for those instructions though.
