[Linux] Autominer v0.3.2.6 - GPU Monitor, Downtime Swapper, New Interface

[Reikoku]

I had to make some changes to your files like I said before:
This is great for linux, after you get the system set up because for me the pools go down or if a miner stalls, this fixes it. . .

here is my working version of the files (replaced/created the following files with text editor in autominer folder):
cards.lib: http://pastebin.com/AD6ugg4x
common.lib: http://pastebin.com/ZSNb2KzZ
otherwise using the files you have listed, works great!

You must really dislike zero indexing.

Nice clean scripting.  A lot to learn from you!

Will this work with 7 cards?
I didn't check the code too carefully, but it just increments everything to scale up, then I just add more entries in the cards file, right?

[Reikoku]

Yes it will work with 7 cards, you will have to edit cards.lib and specify geometry for phoenix windows for cards 5-7 however, or they'll spawn on top of existing ones.

Basically take these:

# You probably don't need to touch these
xtermGeometry[4]="61x10+730+11";
xtermTitle[4]="Mining on Card 0";

And modify to:

# You probably don't need to touch these
xtermGeometry[4]="61x10+XPOSITION+YPOSITION";
xtermTitle[4]="Mining on Card CARD NUMBER";

Nice clean scripting.  A lot to learn from you!

Thanks.

Version 0.2.1 should be up soon with a few changes. Trying to find a way for you guys to download new versions without having to rewrite your configs over and over.

[Reikoku]

Version 0.3(!!) is up with auto-configuration script.

Easier than ever.

[Mobius]

Will this work with poclbm?

[Reikoku]

Only works with phoenix, but phoenix supports poclbm mining kernel so if you want to try it, install phoenix & just select poclbm kernel.

[Reikoku]

Up to 0.3.1 now with screen-based interface, finally starting to look something like the product I wanted!

EDIT: Nearly instantly released 0.3.2 as well, has hashrate-based pool monitoring.

[Reikoku]

0.3.2.1 is up, I found a pretty major bug for people with GPU Based & XML-RPC based monitoring enabled (tl;dr: pool switching didn't work).

Get this update to fix it.

[italeffect]

Was working great for me until 0.3.2.1 update today.

It's not detecting my hashrate and killing and restarting the miners over and over again. I can verify in the miner windows that they are working correctly until killed by the script. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have really enjoyed using this.

Was 0.3.2 monitoring your hashes correctly?

It could be that for some reason it thinks hashrate monitoring is working, but it's not.

[italeffect]

Actually went from 0.3 to 0.3.2.1 so never tried it...

Definitely seems to not be detecting correctly - I went back to the 0.3 I made a backup of and it runs fine, yet still with the  "ATI Overdrive is not loaded" error line. That error started showing up after I upgraded the ATI drivers to 11.6 yesterday and I haven't been able to get rid of it. (ran the -od -enable commands, etc. maybe there is more I need to do)

Anyways figured with the new version today with hashrate monitoring this wouldn't matter, but having the issue as I described above. Thanks

OD not enabled issue is when aticonfig --adapter=all --odgc doesn't work, so it can't work out your GPU load.

When you fire up 0.3.2.1 does it say 'Hashrate-based pool monitoring is enabled', or not?

If so, can you give me the contents of your common.defaults.lib and common.lib (blank out passwords if you use them)?

[italeffect]

Yes from the log above:

[28-Jun-2011 15:23.42] Hashrate-based pool monitoring for card0 enabled.
[28-Jun-2011 15:23.42] Hashrate-based pool monitoring for card1 enabled.

I'll get you copies of those files in a bit. Thanks for the help!

[Reikoku]

No problem, it looks like you've enabled xmlRPC monitoring somewhere, or I've fucked up the code somewhere and done that.

Edit: Just tried setting my xmlRPCEnabled to 0 and it didn't enable it, so it looks like somehow you've set it in common.lib OR my tarfile includes common.lib... checking the tarfile.

Nope, it's not in there. Did you try to enable hashrate monitoring? If so, is your Phoenix kernel patched?

[italeffect]

Yeah updated my phoenix-1.50 per your directions and added the xmlRPCEnabled=1; line to common.lib.
If I set this back to =0 the miners stay working, although they won't switch to the backup pool under this setup of course.

[Reikoku]

OK, did you patch your Phoenix binary or not?

Try starting Phoenix manually like this:

./phoenix.py -v -x 2500 -u http://username:password@server:port -k phatk DEVICE=0

If that loads without an issue, go to Autominer directory and do:

./getrates.sh

And tell me what comes out of that.

It looks like either your Phoenix didn't patch properly, or your getrates.sh for some reason isn't pulling the right rates.

[italeffect]

Yes phoenix is patched. Directly launching it works fine (as in the command you provided).

running ./getrates.sh however, produces the following:

./getrates.sh: ./getRate.py: /usr/bin/python2: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
./getrates.sh: line 42: /1000: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/1000")

[Reikoku]

OK, do ls -l /usr/bin/python*

If that doesn't work try sudo ls -l /usr/bin/python*

(Basically, getRate script can't find Python, so we need to set up a symbolic link to it).
