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

[rsafiyari]

Hi all. I really need help with a rig i just picked up. I'm new to mining and some this stuff is way over my head and will take time to learn. My issue now is i cannot turn on my rig (I know). it's a 13 gpu 1080 cards on a 13 slot moderboard with 4gb ram. it's on Nvoc (linux).

Problem is my monitor shows a purple screen and it doesn't go into nvoc. I turn on the power supplies then the moderboard. Then all GPU lights come on and fans start to work. My monitor comes on and goes into a purple screen. Then fans stop and nothing happens. Lights on GPU stay on and monitor stays on purple screen. I tried it twice waiting an hour before calling it a day.

I was told it takes a while to start because of the # of GPUs connected to the moderboard and only 4gb ram. But don't think it should take hours??? Any help would be appreciated!!!

Start with one GPU plugged to PCIe x16 slot. Once you have it up & running start adding additional GPUs.

Make sure monitor is connected to the x16 pcie GPU and IGPU is disabled in bios.
4Gb ram is enough and should makes no problems, it should boot in less than a minute.
Whats the nvOC version?
It looks like a xorg problem, if you have ssh access try to restore it.

Hi all,

I have still and always the same problem: mining stop to work, gpuinfo doesn't respond and restart doesn't work (no restart).
If I try a manual nvOC restart:

(sometimes Failed to get unit file satet for nvoc.service: Connection timed out)
Stopping nvOC processes...
...done.
Restarting nvOC tasks....

And that all, nothing happens.

ethminer process is running, take 100% CPU, in zombie state and strictly impossible to stop (never saw that on linux).

Any ideas?

I have seen sometimes ethminer hangs when trying to kill it,
No idea why and the only way to kill it is by using kill -9
May be post in ethminer GitHub page, see if they have some info why it happens

For now try this when it happens

Code:

ps ax | grep -v cpuminer | grep SCREEN | grep miner | awk '"miner" {print $1}' | xargs kill -9

Thanks, but already made a ton of tries.

Why ethminer cannot be build? I try to lauch it with --cuda but it doesn't work (always 0H/s)

Better ask that in ethminer support page too.

Hello!

Still loving the work with nvOC, the whole farm runs 19-2.1 and works great.

Upgraded my test rig to -3.0 tonight and seem to have stumbled across the 6tempcontrol issue where the GPU fans sit at 30% and don't change even though the cards are above the target temp.

The Github has the issue logged as a bug but nothing has been said for 3 weeks. Is there a fix? I've upgraded to the latest nvidia-smi and -settings but still no success.

Any thoughts or rollback?

Thanks!

There is a problem with ubuntu 18.04 and tempcontrol, and we were unable to find whats causing this problem yet.
Use latest 16.04 image and all should be ok.

We are working with Foreman team to have a seamless Foreman Dashboard experience with nvOC,

You can check Foreman thread and Foreman Dashboard to see how it works or install it manually until our next release.

What a good news !

This project looks like very good. nvOC will win some users with this type of monitor.

Hello,

I've been using nvoc for 8 months or so, however only found out the other day that there have been additional updates to it outside of the original fullzero post,
so I have been using the original ver 00019 this whole time mining eth. 

Since 3gb cards are starting to have dag issues I'm moving my 1060 rig to xmr for the time being. 

Now, with the original ver 0019, all I had to do was flash the USB and edit the 1bash and I was good to go. 

I'm seeing posts about editing the '3main' file however I can't find it on the flashed USB, I believe ver 0019-2.0. 

Where can I edit this file? With only 1bash edited I get 0% utilization on all gpus on boot. 

Thanks for any help!

[papampi_2]

Latest nvOC Community release stable is 19-3.0, have a look at the nvOC GitHub,
Flash the image, grab latest 1bash.template, save it as 1bash, edit it and put in small fat partition.

Hello again, I have installed the new version.  On first boot, after purple screen, I'm sent to a black screen with text:
"BusyBox v122 built in shell (ash)
Enter help for list of built-in commands.
(initramfs)"
When I restart rig from this screen it boots into ubuntu dash, terminal begins and mining session starts however when it reaches the overclock application stage, the screen fragments and freezes up.  Restarting from this point takes me back to the BusyBox screen.
Any recommendations or could I have you take a look at my files to see what I may be doing wrong?  I would really appreciate it and can compensate for your time. 
Thank you.

If system freeze while or after applying OC that usually means there are aggressive values set and cards cant handle, try lowering the values and test.

Hi, can anyone expline how exactly update TRex miner please

[iWasChris]

If system freeze while or after applying OC that usually means there are aggressive values set and cards cant handle, try lowering the values and test.

I have also tried setting Overclock mode = NO, same screen fragmenting, freezing.  It seemed to boot up fine when I set auto start miner =NO, however I couldn't figure out how to start mining from there.  (Sorry I'm complete linux noob.) Is there a command to permit the miner to start after the 1bash has been set to not auto-start mining?  I'm just at a point where I can't imagine what I could be doing wrong.  
 
For the wallet/pool information section, the bottom line for pool protocol shows "stratum + tcp" Does this need to be changed to anything?
Or perhaps the algorithm intensity do I need to change that from 0?

Thanks again and let me know if you have a donation address.

Got it working, not sure what I did differently.  Running with OC mode = NO.  Gonna download that remote monitor and see if I can get the OC up a bit.  Thanks again
