i set the log file to be in my home directory so it gets created either way, and there isn't any extra info in there:

thanks.  after i ran that i noticed that it's trying to run `./phoenix.py` whereas i was using `python ./phoenix.py`.  `chmod +x phoenix.py` has solved the issue and Autominer is now mining!

Makes sense, glad to know it's working now.

[scar]

is there a way to send a command to phoenix/Autominer to change the aggression? like via RPC for example?  or will i need to use ./stopmining, edit the lib file, and then ./startmining, whenever i want to watch a video, then repeat when i am finished watching a video?

also, is there a way to switch back to my main pool once Autominer has started using the seondary pool?  or do i again just have to restart Autominer?

or maybe a way for Autominer to periodically check the main pool and automatically switch back to it once it determines it's reachable again?  sorry i'm not a coder at all but these might be good features to implement....

thanks

You can edit the lib file, then do stopmining then startmining to change aggression. Active phoenix sessions won't take a command to change aggression. I suggest making two copies of the libfile, say:

cards.lib.7 - Aggression 7
cards.lib.11 - Aggression 11

Then just do:

cp cards.lib.7 cards.lib && ./stopmining.sh && DISPLAY=:0 ./startmining.sh

With re: changing back to your main pool, all of the pools seem to have different ways to tell that they're online. This is something planned for the long term future of autominer (probably via a python script) but isn't likely to come anytime soon. Right now it'd just be ./stopmining.sh && DISPLAY=:0 ./startmining.sh

Hi,

im trying to use autominer... set up all configurations to my cards an workers.
But when i start

Code:

./startmining.sh /opt/miners/autominer

i don't get a new window.
Somehow the cards are fired up and doing their work.

Code:

screen -x amm -p 0

says "There is no screen to be attached matching amm."

Any suggestions?

EDIT:
- autoOpenXterm is set to 1
- also tried wrote

Code:

setenv DISPLAY ":0"
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/lib/x86_64/lib"

to my ~/.screenrc

I believe you have an extra /lib on the end of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and if you set your autominer directory in your startmining.sh or the configure script you shouldn't need to include /opt/miners/autominer when running the script.

[myjack]

Thanks for reply, but still no new window.

How can I check if "screen" is working properly?

Which .screenrc do I have to edit? (I created this file on /home/user/.screenrc because there wasn't one)

There is a file called .screen_Autominer in the Autominer directory. What is it for? It's empty.

[CYPER]

Have you installed screen? - sudo apt-get install screen

And always use sudo to make sure everything runs with elevated privileges.

[myjack]

I installed screen, yes.
And I'm using a root terminal.

[scar]

anything useful in the Autominer.log?  you can list the active screen sessions with `screen -ls` there should be a 'miner', 'amm', and 'temps' at least, and then a 'cardX-miner' for each of your cards.

[myjack]

screen -ls is showing the following:

(*** replacing my account data. the connection to the pool is working.)

[myjack]

no more ideas?
would really like to use this script...

[Reikoku]

For some reason it looks like everything is working but the main 'amm' screen isn't connecting.

The screenrc is in the Autominer directory, do ls -a, it's .screenrc_Autominer I think (don't have a box to hand).

If that file is empty, you need to redownload autominer and re-untar it.

If you copied or moved the directory, it could be that it didn't move the invisible file.

[myjack]

Well, something happened now. You were right, the .screen_Autominer file was not copied.

When i start the script now using VNC, the CPU runs with 100% and nothing else happens... there is still no xterm opening.
(Had real hard problems to get the control back)

I will recheck this when I have more time and be able to control the machine physically without VNC.

Stay tuned

[xarly1]

For me now works really good  .

I`ve a suggestion.

When change to 2nd pool, check status of pool 1 every 10 minutes and if its ok, put mining on 1st pool again.

Sometimes have connection problems and miner change pool and no back to pool 1, keep on pool 2.

It is only a good idea if the script can check the connection to Pool 1 without interrupting the mining process, because otherwise if Pool 1 still has connection issues then the script will disconnect from Pool 2 every 10 minutes to check Pool 1 = not very efficient.

No need kill te pool 2 proccess(can start 2 phoenix whit same card), if connect pool 1 and start mining, kill pool 2 process.

[CYPER]

So I'm still trying to start the script via SSH and it does not work. I type:

sudo DISPLAY=:0 ./startmining.sh /home/cyper/Autominer
or
DISPLAY=:0 sudo ./startmining.sh /home/cyper/Autominer
or
sudo DISPLAY=:0 ./startmining.sh

All I get is this:
