Hi,
What are some good linux OS's for mining. I need one for amd (msi rx580 armor 8gb)and for nvidia (msi gtx 1070). I have one of my gtx 1070 rigs running fine on xubuntu, so I can use that for the other ones if I need to. However I can't get my rx580's to work in linux.
With Xubuntu, I get 16mh/s (one time I was able to get 22mh/s, but I don't remember what I did). On windows 10 I get 30mh/s
Currently I have tried SMOS, but for the life of me I cannot get my hashrate above 15mh/s, I even tried several bios mods, and all kinds of timings, but nothing worked. I also just tried rxoc, but I can't get it to boot up. I get stuck at the login screen in a loop.
I would like something simple, already setup, but if I have to, I can install xubuntu or whatever, and go from there.
Here is what I used for xubuntu:
1- install xubuntu 16.04
2- update sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade
3- setup vnc
sudo apt-get install vino vino-preferences xfce4-session-settings -enable desktop sharing at boot
set static ip
reboot
4- amd driver
Install version 17.40 of the AMDGPU-PRO Linux Drivers:
$ cd /opt $ Download block chain driver sudo wget --referer=http://support.amd.com
https://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ubuntu/amdgpu-pro-17.40-492261.tar.xz $ sudo tar -Jxvf amdgpu-pro* $ cd amd* $ ./amdgpu-pro-install -y
Check if your user is already part of the 'video' group
$ groups
IF not, run the below
$ sudo usermod -a -G video $LOGNAME $ sudo reboot
$ sudo wget -qO -
http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/rocm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add - $ sudo sh -c 'echo deb [arch=amd64]
http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/ xenial main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list' $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install rocm-opencl-dev
Edit grub
$ sudo nano /etc/default/grub
2MB fragments for Ellesmere are enabled with a grub option:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash amdgpu.vm_fragment_size=9"
$ sudo update-grub $ sudo reboot
After installing claymore 10.2 I can only get 16Mh/s
I have flashed my bios and set the overclocking in the bios to 1125 core and 2160 memory. I could get up to 31mh/s with the memory at 2180, but after a day or so it would crash, so I backed it down to 2160.
