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.

To prevent automatic updates in the future:

use your favorite editor, open /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic and change:

Code:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";

To:

Code:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";

and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades

Code:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1";

to

Code:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";

ps: Seriously, why was this ON?

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.

how can i access this from windows?

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

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.


My error is line 137: 1861 terminated  bash '/home/m1/3main'

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.

Thanks but I have not set up SSH yet. I just want to get mining ASAP first.
Also, I disabled SHH in the 1bash file. Now 1bash doesn't exist when I plug the USB into windows...

EDIT: OK, It's working. I had to change to EWBF miner and remove the $ from ZEN miner name

vi and vim are hard for windows and new comers to linux better use nano

Code:

nano 1bash

You have got that right. I haven’t used VI in probably 15 years but still :q! pops into my head. VI is very hard at first but I remember it becoming pretty fast after a while though I will stick with nano now.

[Moordact]

Anybody knows how this is possible?

i have this since beginnning,, don't mind the 1 miner that dropped beginning of 24h history.. that I m aware off.

How come it is usntable like ths , possible causes?

I am on internet all day gaming and stuff, never have internet connection problems?

I use a http://www.tp-link.com/us/products/details/cat-42_TL-SG1016D.html

for switch and this is plugged in directly into my ethernet router. only miners are on this switch.

I suggest you to test mc :
apt-get install mc

Although a minimum knowledge of vi and nano are a must. Especially vi as almost always is installed by default,

If you feel happy with mc I can pass you some tips that will make your experience easier. Let me know if so.

Better use sudo <command> instead of logging as root, Ejm: sudo mc. But if you really need to be root try: su -l

it doesnt drop to zero, you need to check the workers stats and not your "account" stats and see which of them are having the issue.

Max GPUs i have in one rig is 13. In case this doesn't help we need to see nvidia-xconfig output and xorg.conf that it makes, so we can try to find what's wrong.

Also you can try to reflash the latest version of nvOC to usb stick, edit 1bash at windows partition (don't forget to enable headless mode) and make the first boot from usb stick without monitor attached. After the first boot in headless mode you need to wait for autoconfiguration and auto reboot. Then use network scanner or see DHCP leases on the server side to find the IP of your rig (in most cases it will be the same as in previous attempts), ssh to it and see if xorg was correctly configured.

Hi,
I need some support.
I have installed nvoc 0019 in my two rigs:
motherboard: ASUS B250 MIning
Videos: ASUS 106-100 mining edition.

I have disabled IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG="NO", because miner is restarting periodically.

In first RIG In temp Screen I have following errors for all GPUs:

ERROR: The GPU has fallen off the bus or has otherwise become inaccessible
ERROR: Error assigning value 57 to attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed' (m1-desktop:0[fan:13]) as specified in assignment '[fan:13]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=57' (Unknown Error).
------------------------

IN Second in temp Screen the following:

ERROR: Error assigning value 52 to attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed' (m1-desktop:0[fan:7]) as specified in assignment '[fan:7]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=52' (Unknown Error).
GPU 8, Target temp: 70, Current: 46, Diff: 24, Fan: 51, Power: 99.41
Sun Oct 22 00:35:58 EDT 2017 - Adjusting Fan for gpu:8. Old: 51 New: 46 Temp: 46
------------------------------


Please help, What I'm doing wrong or what is missing in my config.

are you using:

Code:

P106_100_FULL_HEADLESS_MODE="YES"

?

My configuration was set to "NO".

I changed on one rig to "YES" and getting this error in the "temp" screen:

----------------
Mon Oct 23 01:24:05 EDT 2017 - Adjusting Fan for gpu:8. Old: 50 New: 45 Temp: 46
Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory

ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run `nvidia-settings --help` for usage information.

Mon Oct 23 01:24:05 EDT 2017 - All good, will check again soon
----------

Also there was an error related to "persistence mode". I have enabled it manually for all GPUs.

Please Help!

Hi fullzero, Guys,

I have digged and try lot of things.
Unfortunately, without good results.
Now, I'm sure that very small thing I have missed and that's killing me.
What is I'm doing wrong?? Please support.

Don't worry about persistence mode, it's not fatal, just ignore that message.

Not many of us have those P106 cards to help troubleshoot. Hopefuly someone that has them and have a working setup can help you.

Your problem might be related to your motherboard. Apperantly there is known problem where motherboard doesn't work well with more than 12 or was it 13 GPU's. Asus is aware of the problem and they intend to fix it with new bios update. Check if they released new bios.

Thx for your soon feedback. I'll check the bios update.

Hope someone can help!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi fullzero, Hi Guys,

I've found the solution. Also, I have changed to "YES" the IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG. It's working fine around one hour. I'll monitor and let you know, if something new will come up.
Below is the steps:

1. Changes in 1bash:

LOCALorREMOTE="REMOTE"
SSH="YES"
P106_100_FULL_HEADLESS_MODE="NO"


2. Reboot

NO Monitors starting from now!!!

3.
sudo -i
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
nvidia-xconfig -a --allow-empty-initial-configuration --cool-bits=28 --use-display-device="DFP-0" --connected-monitor="DFP-0"
reboot

4. Change in 1bash:

__CORE_OVERCLOCK=100
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK=500 (getting 22 Mh/s)

Need to check in process tab. for all GPU's should be exists "Xorg - /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg"
