please make GBT configurable and turned off by default... nobody needs that!

Thank you so much, ckolivas.

Sending a donation your way. Can you supply me a litecoin donation address?

Sure (hint: SCRYPT-README )

Ah. Cool. Sent ya 2 ltc . Great work.

please make GBT configurable and turned off by default... nobody needs that!

I guess it would be possible to drop the libcurl requirement if both getwork and GBT could be disabled, right?

Indeed, but would require carving out a large chunk of code to be configurable. The thought has definitely crossed my mind.

[sapsan]

What did ./configure return?

Output on
Pastebin

Looks pretty convincing to me:

Code:

configure: WARNING: Could not find curses library - if you want a TUI, install libncurses-dev or pdcurses-dev

  curses.TUI...........: NOT FOUND. TUI support DISABLED

Ohhhh... I'm sorry. I go wrong computer via terminal.
libncurses-dev was not installed.
Now all fine.

The hash rate of BFL Single goes down after the the first message appears, but it will go essentially to 0 after some period of time.

Restarting cgminer solves the problem but problem will reaper after some interval of time.

I think there is a hardware error inside the device, which gets USB buffer for the device out of sync with cgminer. Is it possible to make cgminer to recover after this error by flushing the USB buffer or some other internal reset without a need to restart cgminer?

CGminer crashes when I start it on windows. Any ideaas to why? (inb4 "you're using windows")

Catalyst 13.4; AMD APP SDK 2.8; I'm using the "cgminer-3.1.1-windows" precompiled binaries; 64bit Windows 7 SP1
AMD Radeon HD 6850

It works fine on linux.

EDIT: I fixed a couple typos.

Hmm - but it should resync anyway ... I presume it is doing that in the log after where you cut it off? (as it did the first time shown)
The actual cause of the problem is the timeout (-7) where the device took more than 999ms to reply (i.e. BFL0 stuffed up )
If the device really has failed, it will change state to ZOMBIE, but if it does keep working, then in this case it's simply got out of sync fue to a hardware problem and then resynced not long after.
If it resyncs, then reinitialising it wont do any better.

is cgminer scanning usb periodically while running? i noticed my Haupauge HD-PVR keeps locking up when running cgminer. if it is, can it be disabled under windows?

Ok, thank you i'll give that a shot after the race later. don;t want to lockup the recording device while i'm at work.

Restarting cgminer does solve the problem - this is why I think that something could be done within the cgminer to recover from it. After restart (of cgminer only), it may work for days without any error messages.

As I said: after the problem first present itself, it doesn't go to 0 hash rate right away - it takes several minutes for the hashrate from the device to get to 0, meanwhile I keep getting those errors.

Here is the full log until the restart: (I only took out GPU shares)

Another thing to see if it is related ...
Are you mining GBT or is the computer busy or is it using USB to a HDD or some other high rate USB device?
(but I don't think that's the cause)

999ms to reply is of course WAY too long (what the -7 means)

... however it's only on getting the temperature.
So my guess is actually that the temperature monitoring hardware is faulty.
Stop using it - it cools down - start using it - it heats up and fails.

There's no option to disable getting the temperature in the code.
You could hack it out by editing driver-bitforce.c and removing line 767:
.get_stats = bitforce_get_stats,
and see if that helps you.

Yes, I did autogen.sh first. Do I need to specify all the options on autogen or just run it with none?

Edit, just ran it again, and then ./configure and I'm having the same problem.
