sudo apt-get install libudev1

This is my error output with that command:

@-Ubuntu1:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get install libudev1
[sudo] password for :

Package libudev1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libudev1' has no installation candidate

I have tried to run this beforehand:

sudo apt-get update

No luck



On another note, ckolivas, I wanted to thank you for the windows version of 3.4.2. I installed it onto my HP N40L Microserver and have a tonne of block erupters running without a hitch. I only had to install Windows 7, then that WinUSB driver utility which didn't take long at all.

It detects and starts mining with the block erupters so quickly and without error. 3.4.0 used to crash every couple of days, but 3.4.2 doesn't seem to have that crash any more.

Thanks so much!

You're welcome. Actually you're on an older ubuntu. That build is for ubuntu13.04, so you'll either have to upgrade ubuntu or build it yourself. The latter option is likely going to be less work.

Thank you very much for the info

I am keen to get 13.04 on it so I might just upgrade.

Can i set the order of the pools directly in the cgminer-command without moving back and forth the pools with user/pass?

java API pools
Edit: though I should have also mentioned the exact command: poolpriority (API-README)

Now i know what you spoke about. This api has to be enabled in cgminer command first. But it looks i still have to install some form of java. JDK? It tells me only that java is unknown. I run cgminer on rpi.

I hoped there is an easy way to change the order directly in commandline since then i would have a clean stat again.

On RPi Arch: pacman -S jre7-openjdk-headless
The other way is using 'nc' but I've had trouble with that on RPi Arch ...

[os2sam]

The only thing now I have to find is a way to run cgminer from the taskbar like I've done for GUIMiner and how to control multiple devices when I get more bitcoin miners (one instruction book said to tell it by com ports but that was before WinUSB was the needed).

CGMiner will us all that are available by default.

Also look at the Advanced USB options in the readme.

./cgminer: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

sudo apt-get upgrade

Had a similar problem earlier with "the other miner" on a fresh Ubuntu Server 13.04 install.  The command above fixed it.

I tried to get my ASICMiner BEs to work with zadigs USB driver and cgminer 3.4.2. BEs are listed as USB devices in win7 device manager correctly.

"cgminer-nogpu.exe -o eu-stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u xxxxx -p xxxxx --enable-icarus"
DOS windows shows up for a second. Without --enable-icarus cgminer starts but no devices found.

any ideas?

Are you running as an admin when you load? That one of the things I forgot to do. Check the properties for your shortcut if your using one and make sure the "run as admin" is checked off.

I just moved all my USB miners to a win7 PC with 3.4.2.  It's working flawlessly.  I'm not running as admin, and not using "-enable-icarus".  No parms at all aside from pointing to config file, that has nothing in it but pool addresses.

--enable-icarus is only for compiling cgminer, it is not a command line argument.

[eneloop]

Ah, ok.

Got it to work now. cgminer won't recognise BEs they are already plugged in before cgminer is running. I just switched my 10 port hub off and on again and here we go.

That's not what I saw either.

I plugged my first 4 into my hub, and fired up cgminer.  Found them without a problem.

While it was running, I added another 2.  They showed up and started mining away.

I then plugged a hub in with another 10.  That was too much, I guess it saw them before windows gave them the right USB driver.  It crashed.  I restarted cgminer, as was well.

I then plugged in another hub with another 10.  That worked flawlessly, no crashing.

What page do I look into to make and use a config file. I have no idea why you would not need and I do need admin, but since I have a build version all that should be recognized without the icaris options?

I just know it works with the options in the string on admin mode for cgminer.

Not quite sure what you are asking. If you are using Windows, the Windows downloads from ckolivas git already come configured I believe to recognize USB devices, as well as scrypt mining, there shouldnt be anything more you need to do but to make sure your command line has the correct arguments.

[techman05]

I was more asking how you get to the config file and use it for other devices. It says its in a hidden folder but in windows I have all hidden folders to be set to be seen. I want to when I get more devices transplant them into something like a raspberry pi .

I seem to remember that it used to do this, but its been some time since I used a config file. In the past I would just have the same config file and I would just copy and past to systems as I needed.  All you need to do is make sure it is formatted correctly, save it in the same folder as cgminer.exe and make sure the extension is .conf.  Then when you create your shortcut or .bat file, you need to tell it to use the .conf file in your argument.

[techman05]

Just happen to find the config file that cgminer made. It was in plain site. My question now is what is the trigger to use the config file?

cgminer -c <config file name>

[techman05]

So if I'm using the noGPU version it would be cgminer-nogpu.exe -c <config file name>?

Well crap, I think messing around with too many com ports and switching from BFGminer to CGminer I messed up my drivers. I've tried uninstalling the VCP CP210 and reinstalling WinUSB via zadig, but only one AMU on my hub shows up. Is there any way to just wipe all of the drivers clean and start out from scratch? I'm on W7 64bit.

[techman05]

I'm hoping you don't have too many but maybe installing one of the other drivers and then to winUSB again. I uninstalled my humble single eroupter at least once from the device manager and uninstall drivers a well but I still felt I needed to start with the cp210 drivers.

I thought that once you have have the first setup they'd use the same driver so just clear out the others except one and go from there.

All else fails have you restarted recently?
