Because your temp limit wont let them get higher power.
It seems your temp limit is 70.
Either give them cooler conditions by external fans and ... or higher your temp limit.

I got that, will try it and let you know if you were correct!

thanks for idea.

Greetings!

Thanks for nice mining distro

My external HD is where I boot from, and since im happy with how it works, Im wondering how could i move this external HD image to my internal M2.1 SSD,
 but I Also have windows on this SSD.
Can i copy it somehow and keep having dual boot, or just copy without dual boot..

Unless you are very comfortable manually editing partitions; I don't recommend dual booting from your m2.  You can image the m2 and overwrite the current install; but I don't recommend this as; there is no need to use an m2 for mining.  A USB key or your external HDD should be sufficient.  Note v0019 applies osnwt's fix to remove an unused swap significantly reducing boot time.  Most of my USB keys boot in under 45 seconds; SSDs in under 25.

Where do i get v0019?!

See this...

I have had an overwhelming number of pm's.

I don't have all the features I want to include for v0019 done; there are still a lot of requests and contributions ( notably from lost_post and _Parallax_ ) that still need to be added.

The spread of members using v0017 or v0018 with various levels of updates; is making it harder to answer questions / help members.  Rather than add another update with XMR stak GPU support tonight; I am going to release v0019 as it currently is tomorrow night: after making a few more changes tonight / tomorrow during the day.

Hi fullzero,

Not sure you have already fixed/added these things in v19, but would like get these things to your notice.

* Would like to mine coins based on x11gost, is that possible with 18 Version or in v19?

when I tried to mine SIB (x11Gost) using the below command it failed to mine, i guess I can't mine it with ccminer!?

/home/m1/TPccminer/ccminer -a x11gost -o stratum+tcp://sib.suprnova.cc:3458 -u xxx.xxxx -p x -i 25

* When i tried to mine pascal(lite) or decred alone using the 1bash or below cmd

/home/m1/pasc/sgminer -k pascal -o stratum+tcp://mine.pasl.fairpool.xyz:4009 -u xxxxx-xx..xxxxxxx -p x -p x -I 21 -w 64 -g2

failed with the following error

[14:07:24] Started sgminer 5.5.0-nicehash
[14:07:24] * using Jansson 2.7
[14:07:24] WARNING: GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT is not specified!
[14:07:24] WARNING: GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS is not specified!Killed

* I think you are going to add cryptonight algo to mine coins like XMR with GPU in v19 right?

I'm looking to mine the following coins KRB, BCN, XDN using cryptonight algo

Hope they are already noticed and added in the upcoming release, if not would eagerly wait for the release with the above fixes

Thanks

You can only do that in guake terminal, as the main terminal mostly auto starts mining the second you open it.

Has anyone tried to build https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer on nvoc os?

look for this link on the OP:

v2 Alexis78 and Tpuvot 2.2 ccminer clients with replacement bash DOWNLOAD Link

I tried running Tpuvot 2.2 but it failed

[2017-08-26 19:19:06] GPU #0: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, 3966 MB available, 6 SMX
[2017-08-26 19:19:06] GPU #0: 384 threads (8.5) with 24 blocks
Terminated

What coin are you trying to mine?

I mine XMR.

I don't think Tpuvot works properly for XMR.

I have tried to build several other versions but have encountered this error:

I have had an overwhelming number of pm's.

I don't have all the features I want to include for v0019 done; there are still a lot of requests and contributions ( notably from lost_post and _Parallax_ ) that still need to be added.

Could you release the XMR stak binary you compiled? I would like to start using it with my v0017, dont need the 1bash changes yet.

Trying to compile myself but its not working...

I added a download link with stak and a standalone bash script to configure and launch it to the OP.  This is already integrated in v0019; but the structure of 1bash and other files is different so I'm not going to integrate into the v0018 1bash.

[helpme85]

Can be added to 1bash as another application.

I feel like ethminer 0.11.0 gives better hashrate than claymore.
Claymore single gives me 197 MH/s and dual with DCR gives 194 MH/s
While ethminer 0.11.0 is giving 201

is this the correct one ?
https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/releases
Better to use 0.12.0.dev or 0.11.0 ?

I tried them all and think the newest dev is the best.  Tell me if your experience is different.

On ethminer 0.12.0.dev2 one of my rigs started dropping from full utilization and all 6 GPUs gone to 70-80 % and miner restarted 2 times then I switched to 0.11.0
But on ethminer 0.11.0 its working with no problems.

0.12.0 is only version 0.11.0 edited in the hashrate display.

I'll add them both, but probably only integrate 1; it should be easy enough to replace the executable in the appropriate directory to switch from one to another; maybe I'll properly add selection, some other things I think are more important.

credits to papampi

fullzero, do you mind putting this link in original post please, i bet it will be useful to lots of users; thanks

Thanks for mentioning me and giving the credits,
I added an easier solution to that post
for those who dont need/want the swap and dont need to expand their partition.

Option2 :
If you have 16GB USB/SSD/HDD and dont want/need swap partition.
Just open /etc/fstab with

Code:

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

and add a # before the UUID in swap line

Code:

# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
#UUID=cdba7b01-5ae6-4104-9a6e-f723b8bd87ac none            swap    sw              0       0

reboot and have fun.

This is osnwt's suggestion see:

Wow. Thank you dbolivar!

The slow boot time has always been my only issue with nvOC. Especially when I've got a sick riser that I'm hunting for. I commented out the swap line in /etc/fstab and BAM! It was like a rocket ship booting up.

SO loving this OS now. Even more than before! Thank you again FullZero for this awesome OS.

Great!! But don't thank me for identifying this invalid entry in /etc/fstab, it was the merit of another user, as I mentioned, but I forgot his username! Nevertheless, Fullzero is aware of this, and said it will be fixed in v19.

You can do this on any nvOC or rxOC rig by entering the following in the guake terminal:

Code:

gksu gedit /etc/fstab

then commenting out this line by appending a # to the front of it changing:

Code:

UUID=cdba7b01-5ae6-4104-9a6e-f723b8bd87ac none            swap    sw              0       0

to:

Code:

#UUID=cdba7b01-5ae6-4104-9a6e-f723b8bd87ac none            swap    sw              0       0

then close the gedit and reboot.

I applied this change to the v0019_rc a long time ago when osnwt brought it to my attention:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg20492062#msg20492062

Sorry if this was already fixed or is a duplicate report. Didn't read the thread for a long time.

I found that my nvOC system boots too long (around 2 minutes). The cause of that is a swap partition in /etc/fstab that does not exist on USB drive (was /dev/sda5 at install time). After commenting it out a 120 seconds swap disk mount wait time has gone.

Do NOT take credit for other members ideas / fixes.

Taking credit for others suggestions/fixes was not my intention at all.
I am new to your awesome code and noticed how it has a long reboot time, checked the OP and there was no fix for it, so I posted here how I solved it
EvgeniX asked me to write a step by step guide on how I solve the issue here so I wrote it for him how to add swap and expand the partition in this post
Later I thought its good to add an option for those who dont have bigger ssd and just want to disable swap
This is a 140+ thread and a new one like me cant read all the pages and fixes and ideas
Long story short ... I added osnwt name to my post.
Sorry if it seem I wanted to take credit for some one elses idea/fixes.

My Bad, I think its partly my mistake of crediting papampi, but I agree with papampi as there is no link in the OP & searching through this number of pages is not practical at all (though google indexes the website but still not that easy to get to the right solutions sometimes), but like you said, as you have already integrated this in v19 then no point in having instruction on OP.

I will edit my bit and give credits to the right person.

Thanks and sorry for the mess!

papampi I added a link to the op for your swap guide yesterday; however the OP is a mess and there are too many links; I probably need to reorganize the OP.

Not noticing the swap from initial install in fstab was a major fail on my part; which makes this fix a huge improvement.  I want to make sure members give osnwt the credit.

Just wanted to mine Musicoin on MPH and noticed some authentication error
If any one wants to mine it on MPH you should edit 1bash MUSICADDR lines too.

edit all the lines in 1bash
from :

Code:

MUSICADDR="$MUSIC_ADDRESS/$MUSIC_WORKER"

to :

Code:

MUSICADDR="$MUSIC_ADDRESS.$MUSIC_WORKER"

some pools use . and others use /

I made a variable for this in v0019.

Thank you for your help

Go to Guake terminal

To change your user password type exactly this in the guake terminal session:

Code:

passwd

It actually looks like this, current password is 'miner1'

Code:

m1@m1-desktop:~$ passwd
Changing password for m1.
(current) UNIX password: 
Enter new UNIX password: 
Retype new UNIX password: 
passwd: password updated successfully
m1@m1-desktop:~$ 

you don't see the password you are typing, so make sure you remember what you typing (you need to type twice)


To change the root password type exactly this in the guake terminal session:

Code:

sudo passwd

It actually looks like this

Code:

m1@m1-desktop:~$ sudo passwd
Enter new UNIX password: 
Retype new UNIX password: 
passwd: password updated successfully
m1@m1-desktop:~$

I got that, will try it and let you know if you were correct!

thanks for idea.

I set my 1080tis to a templimit of 75; as they usually throttle with autotemp if tempature target is set to 70 as papampi suggested.

You should be able to use stak for cryptonight algos, SIB I will need to try.  I compiled the newest TP 2.2 for v0019 which I am not sure it needs to be compiled differently to support SIB; or if another client is better to use.
