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

[papampi]

Installed nvOC 19-1.4 on my new rig, updated it with nvOC-19-2-update, edited 1bash and ZM miner began restarting almost every minute, while Wdog and Temp were showing that all was OK.
Noticed then that not all files and folders in /home/m1 were owned by m1. Did "sudo chown -R m1 /home/m1" and no ZM restart since. May be it's worth adding this command to the
nvOC-19-2-update, just in case.

You ran the update with sudo ?

Yes, without "sudo", forgot to metion, that's what I'm saying, just in case, because many people here don't now the difference between with or without "sudo", and then they run into troubles after update.

[chem1990]

Can you check and see if vbrick solution for his mouse works for you too or not ?

Ok, now i installed fullzero version and updated the image with your script but without the ubuntu updates. networking with wi fi works. it seems that it works becouse i just rewstarted 10 times and network is established with no problem...

it must be something with networking manager or power menagment with wifi...

[Stubo]

So i mined for two weeks or more, no issue.  All the sudden is goes off online and watchdog keeps rebooting.   Why can teamviewer be on the bash script.... every time terminal is ran is restarts teamview...

It seems there is a mismatch in your 3main line 945, open 3main and check line 945

Or if you have never edited it, just open it and check to see which variable it points to in 1bash

I just checked the baseline 19-1.4 code and line 945 of 3main is

Code:

while [ $gpu -lt $GPUS ]

Which tells me the video driver on this host is hosed. Please try the following command which has fixed similar issues in the past:

Code:

### Fix for nvidia-smi not found
# Box was rebooted while making kernel updates
sudo dpkg --configure -a

After that, reboot and see if things are better.

 I upgraded to 19.2 with your script. Now its giving me :

Edit:

I only see 10 cards in Nvdia control panel, i have 12. Maybe bad riser? My computer reboots after a min. Watchdog is off and auto start mine is set to NO.

Ok, this and the pic in the last post makes me think this is a HW issue. This command will report what GPUs the system knows. Please try it:

Code:

./nvOC gpuinfo

On 19-1.4 it was showing lost GPU
So its Bad riser, Bad GPU, ..

Now on 19-2 giving you same with more details

Check your hardware first.

I've searched through the thread but couldn't find an definite answer, is there a way to mine XVG with nvOC? Thanks

[papampi]

I'm just starting to mine ETN over at mininghub and need nvOC to parse the workername to the miner, presumably I can just edit 1bash and 0miner as follows...?

1bash

Code:

# Electroneum(ETN) ## No Need to add stratum+tcp:// to server address
ETN_WORKER="$WORKERNAME"
ETN_ADDRESS="my account name"
ETN_POOL="europe.cryptonight-hub.miningpoolhub.com"
ETN_PORT="20596"

0miner

Code:

if [ $COIN == "ETN" ]
then
  HCD='/home/m1/KTccminer-cryptonight/ccminer'
  ADDR="$ETN_ADDRESS.$ETN_WORKER"

Thanks in advance
Mike

Sorry and Thanks for catching the bug
Worker was missing for KRB and ETN in 0miner and 1bash , fixed for stable release.

KRB and ETN are looking for the KTccminer-cryptonight binaries btw.......not part of the 2.0 script upgrade, no dropbox link to any pre-compiled binary package....

TIA
Mike

Again ... Sorry and Thanks

Compiled and added to update script, please run the script again

Hi guys, even after the new latest bios flash of my mobo, my situation remains the same ... trying nvOC 19-14 and 19-2 and I'm not able to boot my rig (black screen) ... If I look at my usb key after the facts, there are no more 1bash's file, no more 8coins file and no more Trash directory ...

Uefi bios enable >4G done
Disable onboard gpu done
Legacy usb support enabled done

Wonder what's wrong ? any ideas ? ...

Only 19-13 works here ...

-> rig's hardware setup :
MB MSI Z270A PRO
8G ram
usb key Sandisk 32 G
Intel G4400
6 MSI 1080tis gaming x

-> rig's hardware setup :
MB MSI Z270A PRO
8G ram
usb key Sandisk 32 G
Intel G4400
6 EVGA 1080tis ftw3 gaming

I think nvoc system is not uefi compatible. I would try to disable uefi bios.

I'm already using no uefi (legacy enabled and secure boot disabled), this is not the problem.

Strange thing is that all working nicely with 19-13 and lan's leds showing activities but with 19-14 still have black screen and no lan's leds activities at all ... any other idea ?

Regards.

I think on your board you have to disable:
Windows 8.1/ 10 WHQL Support
to turn uefi off. Give that a try.

Also, if you have CSM option in your bios, turn that ON.

And lastly, I've also got black screen with blinking cursor when I tried to boot from USB stick while I still had the SSD plugged in. Unplugging the SSD allowed USB stick to boot properly. After booting from USB (then shutting down), I replugged the SSD and it worked well afterwards.

A quick look:
https://steemit.com/mining/@cryptomkd/how-to-start-mining-verge-xvg-on-pool-with-nvidia-gpu-s

indicates that it can be mined with ccminer. There are many flavors of that miner included with nvOC 19-2.0 including the latest from Tpruvot (v2.2.3). However, from what I can see, there is no native support in this release for XVG. So nvOC can definitely mine it but it will take a couple of customizations to 1bash and 0miner to support it seemlessly.

[leenoox]

double post... disregard

What version of nvOC? Are you LOCAL or REMOTE configuration?

Im on 19-20 and LOCAL, thx

Please,
Execute in remote ssh terminal (Or at tty01 (CTRL+ALT+F1)) the nvOC report command and give us here the result by copy/paste
nvOC file to diagnose is in /home/m1

Code:

nvOC report

Set this to NO in 1 bash

Code:

AUTO_START_MINER="NO"      # YES or NO # Set this to NO when troubleshooting, this will prevent the watchdog restarting the rig

And try to execute or copy paste the minning command without automatic loop of nvOC Like that but in replacing variables :

Code:

if [ $COIN == "ZCOIN" ]
then
  HCD='/home/m1/TPccminer/ccminer'
  ADDR="$ZCOIN_ADDRESS.$ZCOIN_WORKER"

what can I type in the terminal to modify GPU settings while miner is running for each GPU individually? i.e Power limit, oc core, & fan speed

For GPU1:

nvidia-smi -i 1 -pl 75

export DISPLAY=:0

nvidia-settings -a [gpu:1]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=1000

Hey killeriq,
the ./nvOC report doesn't work when executed as root user. As you can notice, it didn't pull any values from 1bash.
Please execute ./nvOC report as unprivileged user m1 and repost your report, copy and paste between the two code marks.
