SMOS Linux Plug-In & Mine - The simplest mining OS based on Linux

[santapedofil]

Great news on the 1.1 release.. Just hit the forums since I'm trying to figure out why with more than 3 cards in the system it starts throwing vmalloc errors. It looks like the 32-bit kernel isn't handling 4+ R9s properly with the current Catalyst driver.

Does SMOS 1.1 bump the kernel to 64-bit?

Thanks

64-bit would be great. Lot of people are GPU&CPU mining and we need x64 support. Installing other linuxes are painful.

Thanks!

thanks for suggestion

If someone stuck with 4 or 5 r9 290, and can access to rig via SSH/xrdp, but cant start to mine, just contact me, i will slove the problem.

Hi! I will be having at least 4 r9 290 in a single mobo, so maybe i will be stuck as you say, can i do anything to prevent that?

Which tool are you using?

The only one i tried was Partition Magic on windows, but i can try another if you suggests one..
I see 2 partitions one ~500 and one ~1.5gb.

Use this.
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gparted/gparted-live-0.16.2-11-i486.iso
Burn on CD and boot it. Then resize your USB.

Which partition should i resize? I tried both and they fail to boot... Help?

[santapedofil]

Partition of 1.4GB

How it is with support for R9 270X cards?

[santapedofil]

SMOS Linux 1.2 supports all r9 cards, like 270x

hi, i run 4x 270x in my rig and i have a strange issue - your donation mining is killing my own mining - this means that after your donation mining ends it does not start correctly my mining.
i hope you understand my point.
i need always to do hard reset in order to start regular mining.
let me know if ya need more details.
i have build 3 same rigs and maybe i have some faulty GPU - still testing but second day the same issue.

Did anyone try to install this distro on RasberryPi?

So you basically repackaged BAMT and then hardcoded it to mine LTCs for you with my hardware? What the hell, are you freaking kidding? And this is not mentioned anywhere.

Don't use this crap guys.

If you want to see for yourself, check the files:
- /home/.donate.conf
- /home/.update.sh
- /home/.script.sh

The script is ran from root crontab and mines to his wemineltc pool every night at 3 AM for 15 minutes.

One thing is donations, one thing is stealing from people and not telling them about it.

Is this for real? Anyway to shut it off? Just got this working on my 4 x 280x rig... what's the best alternative??

Was just looking at this.  OP, can you address this concern?

[MatthewDPX]

I checked the crontab of a default install for the latest image they're serving from their website. I can confirm that runs the owner's donation script for 15 minutes at 3 AM.

This is the script that runs:

#!/bin/sh
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
sleep 10s
mine stop
sleep 10s
screen -d -m -S cgminer /opt/miners/cgminer/cgminer -c /home/.donate.conf
sleep 15m
clear
sleep 10s
killall cgminer
sleep 10s
mine start
sleep 10

[mrbrdo]

You can get rid of it by `sudo crontab -e`, remove update.sh and script.sh from there, also for safe measure remove all text from both those files and copy your cgminer.conf to /home/.part and /home.donate.conf.

But in reality, just use BAMT instead of this crap. It is obvious the person behind it is not an honest guy, he keeps complaining about how he is not getting any donations, while we all mine LTC for him. It's obvious he tried to even hide it (3AM at night, all the files involved are hidden), and it is mentioned nowhere. Honest people probably actually (manually) donated to him, not knowing that they are actually forced to donate every day anyway.
After all this distro is basically a total clone of BAMT with very little actual benefit (or none). I used BAMT and it is the same thing, worked just fine, and contains no scam scripts.

I think some people are blind, or someone just wont read news or look it official web. And share wrong information...

You are lying, when I downloaded the image this text was not there. And EVEN IF, this is WAY TOO HIDDEN. Information like this should be very clearly displayed next to the download link, not hidden away in some random section that nobody will ever read. And tell me, why are all the files involved hidden, why does it run at 3 AM in the morning when most people are sleeping? Can you explain that?

You are a ripoff. And you have the nerve to cry here that you are not getting any donations. Shame on you, I hope you rot, you are the cancer to the community.

I downloaded Smos on Nov. 20 (V1.0) and the 15 minutes donation was already in the image and properly advertised on the website update page if I remember well. It was introduced after being proposed by someone on this forum thread.

By the way I have no problem with this, I think this is legit if you consider the good support he provides, plus web hosting, server bandwidth...

Guys, if you want something without restriction, build it yourself and do the debug yourself... If you can't, just accept the rules.

[drmosh]

hah if he wanted to be up front he wouldn't have made them dot files in /home...

LOL
