[OS] nvOC Nvidia Mining OS FORK v PXA-1.9.6.1 ( UPDATED 1.10.2018 )

[Tigel]

Maybe bminer? There is a thread @these forums. A lot of hype on that but I did not see any improvement mining ZEC with Linux.
As a user I feel kind of confused, there are now two "forks" of this awesome OS, which one to choose.. I am currently running the other branch on three rigs and I would not want to break anything. But automated OC feels tempting...

Have you considered combining your work?

As one of the official contributors of the NVOC group I must say that this build has been one of the best builds I've seen so far. As you might know, overclocking is one of the hardest parts to do in Linxu. With fullzero's NVOC it was made a lot easier and with the current release of PoisonXA it has taken OC to the next level.
I have been using it on my rigs for some time now and the settings that it give to be the "sweet spot" of OC , I would have never guessed to put those numbers.
Also I've have been in contact with PoisonXA and looking forward to working together with him and making this built even greater. There is an awesome roadmap and plans for the future for this built so keep an eye out on this forum because you don't want to miss it.

Does this OS go to sleep after X hours? I woke up this morning and turned the monitor on - it was at the 'enter password' screen. Then it loaded the desktop (as if it crashed?)

I checked my pool which said there was no downtime?

no this os does not sleep it mines for as long as theres power.

I have only seen this problem with USB's that are starting to fail. I have not had it happen on the new version but I have seen it several times on the older versions from FullZero and it always turned out to be a failing USB or poor quality USB.

I personally also use PXA's Fork of nvOC.

He's a rare bred developer----actively involved and engaged with his user base.

Anyways, PXA nvOC is a frequently updated fork of FullZero's nvOC with pretty sexy features. What I like most about the product is it's auto overclock, no longer are you having to tediously tweak your cards. Enter acceptable values and boom, the OS will determine which clock is appropriate for your card.

If you want a 1,2,3 miner with the sophistication and all the bells and whistles you could want, try PXA's nvOC. I don't think you will regret it. Everyone on the Discord is friendly and there is usually someone around to help. No one bites, as far as I know, except for me.

New version working great. Had a bunch of errors with the older version and they have now been corrected. Can't seem to get TeamViewer to load up but I'm sure I'm overlooking something outside of TeamViewer "YES" but auto-overclocking is working great - highest SOL/s I've ever got, temps are setting properly, voltage assigning correctly, etc. Very happy, thanks for the help I needed earlier too!

I've been running the original nvOC but taking a look at all the upgrades here I'm going to switch over thanks

[poisonxa]

guys i released a small patch to auto update to fix global overclocks and beta test ftc neo scrypt on ccminer 2.2.3

[poisonxa]

I'll be adding screenies and tuts shortly

[poisonxa]

Before NvOC PAX I got 3350-3450 sol/s.
All os's running at 2.7 sol/s.

flashed the image using etcher and later HDDraw on second attempt.
Every time when the system boots instead of the usual purple ubuntu loading screen  it  shows a black one with:
/dev/sda2:clean, etc/ etc files, etc/ etc blocks   and the prompt _ just blinks and nothing happens

flash drive was reformatted several times, checked for errors, nothing wrong.

Change usb port use a usb 2.0 port

Neoscrypt confirmed working with ccminer 2.2.3

Feel free once again to ask any questions im here to get you up and running.

Change usb port use a usb 2.0 port

This worked just for one start, then after  auto downloading updates and restarting the system, it was the same screen /dev/sda2:clean, etc/ etc files, etc/ etc blocks

So, this looks like incompatibility yet of the nvOC with a B350m board  +ryzen 1500x cpu. 

Tried the flash drive on asrock b250m and  all started ok, auto downloaded  some updates etc.. however two  unwelcome  situations happened :

first time of start after downloading something, unzipping, implementing etc. the screen ended up with downloading teamviewer and that was it ... no successful connection to wherever the nvoc was trying to connect (internet was running , i was using the firefox browser in the same time).
 removed (unticked) teamviewer from the relevant linux settings tab , on next restart system started up and loaded ok and went on  directly to mine the default BTG coin. I then stopped the terminal window and went on to edit 1 bash for my coin of choice.

changed coin to ZEN, changed pool settings etc for my pool choice, set ZM for miner saved file and rebooted.

After start up, the  terminal window began showing : cannot find miner  ( tried later with ewbf, same thing cannot find miner, both are in the respective ZEC folder and i did not touch anything else in the 1bash file )

Any idea why is this happening?

[poisonxa]

ok all issues resolved with that user anyone else with issues?

[TAKCuCT]

ok all issues resolved with that user anyone else with issues?

Just a small fix - 8coin at MPH-EQUIHASH address -> MPH_ADDRESS same at MPH-ETHASH

And can you add limits at OC?
