Very nice suggestion Doodkeen,

This is a community driven project and fullzero is doing the best job ever without asking for a dime (unlike other Linux mining distros)
Some times in the middle of the road we miss some small points that are so obvious to others,

So I'm kindly ask every Linux Guru here to do their best to look for improvements and fixes for nvOC
Feel free to PM me or post in forum any suggestion you have.

Thank you all.

Any idea why all rigs crashed last night.  v0018 and v0019 rigs all died and won't boot.  v0018 rigs hang trying to perform cleaning functions.  v0019 rigs ask for a password. v19-1.3 rigs are all running fine.  Rigs are in two completely different geographic locations.

Have a look at page 245 and 246.

I think the problem is while Nvidia driver was updating wdog restarted the rig because of low utilization and that cause a miss configured Nvidia driver,
I think solution is to prevent wdog from restarting the rig if dpkg is running.

Please excuse my n00b questions:

- I'd like to read the OC script to understand it; can somebody give me the path to it?
- Is there a log of the OC process so I can see if they get applied (instead of just looking at nvidia-smi)?

Thanks!

Hey all, glad to hear you got your rigs back up. Mine never stopped but that might be that I had
AUTO_UPDATE_CHECKS="NO"

On another note, would somebody point me to where/how the OC script is run? I'm trying to get my 19x P106 headless rig beyond stock clocks (OC settings aren't applying).

Thanks in advance.

Code:

AUTO_UPDATE_CHECKS="NO"

Thats nvOC updates not OS updates,
You may have had the latest updates installed when you updated to 19-1.3

thanks papampi, good to know. Do you have any idea about my question about where the nvOC OC scripting is?

Yep, please feel free and provide the valuable feedback, so that we can make nvOC even better.

Coming to the error, no one expected this sort of failure on this scale!! Hope we identify these sort of issues bit earlier.

Papampi, you are absolutely right

What the heck? Today, 80% of farms have stopped working after reboot.

nvidia driver updated. Problem regarding driver. You can find a solution from page 245-247.

For me :-

a) re-flashing ssd
b) disable auto update

Hey Linux Gurus:

Any idea how to allow a 19x P106-100 rig to OC in nvOC? I can't get my OC settings to apply though mining does work for all 19.

Suggestions appreciated!
PM me if you'd prefer.

I think you are talking about using SSH ?

You need to SSH as normal and then try to navigate as sudo

cd /etc/apt/

and do a

ls

you will see 'apt.conf.d'

then

cd apt.conf.d

then edit those files using

nano  xxxx.xxx

This guide will help you how to edit and save (hopefully)

This is so frustrating, nvOC17 was rock solid and nvOC19 has been a headache like 15 16 18 were

nvOC_17 DL
http://www.mediafire.com/file/oi84ue7e6z9epn9/nvOC_v0017.zip


Can anyone help me add a couple coins to 17 and implement the newer auto fan controller?

nvOC v0019 is stable for me. I didn't have any problem with it.
I never update anything on it. Just save some orginals files in the m1 profile by a tar command copied the tar file to another external disk  or machine. I just modify some parts of MPH_Switch code or parameters and compile the Klaust's miner that finally seems to do its job correctly in MPH switch. In unique minning, klaust's miner seems to dysfunction after thirty minutes but times's intervalls on MPH is rightly 30 min !

I think someones updates their Nvidia driver manually, but i thought that is a bad idea and i didn't make this update. I think this is the explanation of active auto_updaters in their rigs systems.

I think its risky to use beta for mining out of tests.
I let others test the beta versions for me.
I tried with the 19.1-3 version for the WTM_Witch, but after 3 hours lost, I came back to my modified and stable version that I had of course thought to save before rewriting on a 32 Gb USB key

Hi,

Is it possible to add ZOIN (ticker ZOI) to nvOC ?

Only mineable with a CPU ... It's an interesting alternative for the "plusCPU".

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2085112.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1326803.0

Best regards.

_S_C_

What is the algorythm. Your links dn't said anything about that !  

What's the best miners softwares ?

Please make us a short summary if you want Fullzero or any coders here add your coins.

Algorithms
Miners :
Pools :
Pools ports :

And any kind of information what you think it will be useful.

You can look a the papami's or damnmad posts when they add coins to 1bash.

Only giving us some links is too short.

Be clear, short and precise, and you will be served.

Wait&See

EDIT :  I loose 10 hours of minning too ...The update come later on my rig. I had to unistall and réinstall latest nvidai drivers.

Code:

sudo apt install nvidia-387

Eveything is Ok now.
Time to correct this problem : 30 min (except the time of 10 hours while my rig don't mine anything).

Hi! According to the same issue with all my P106-100 rigs, i suppose you need to do this:

1) check that you have set P106_100_FULL_HEADLESS_MODE="YES" in 1bash
2) check that you can control your rig without monitor attached (SSH or Teamviewer enabled)
3) disconnect monitor
4) run the following:

Code:

sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration
sudo reboot

After the rig reboots, overclocking will work as supposed to. Sometimes i had to do number 4 again after reboot to make it working.

Thanks, trying now. Did you have more than 16 GPUs?
(edit)I tried this and mining would not start. Had to do

Code:

 sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf 

to return it to being able to mine at all.
I've read that you can add the coolbits part to either screen or device; the code you gave me I think put it in whichever was the wrong one.
Any other ideas?

I have five rigs running nvOC 19. They all went down this morning but four came back. I am currently two states away from them and can’t get to them until next week. Prior to this they have been running about 45 days straight without a hiccup.

Many of our nvOC users had this issue yesterday.

There were couple of fixes made available couple of pages back :

"ERROR : "Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch"

If you are on SSH try this to update your drivers first (some users confirmed that after doing this RIG is back to normal)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg23457530#msg23457530

For now follow this to disable auto update on nvidia drivers

How do I enable root access (miner1) in linux? I would like to troubleshoot by editing 1bash without returning to windows.

There is no need to enable anything. Just ssh to your host and login with user m1 password miner1. This will drop you right into directory /home/m1 where 1bash lives. You can then edit with your favorite editor - e.g., vi 1bash.
