OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.1

[-ck]

I get Error -5 Enqueueing Kernel onto command queue. (clEnqueueNDRangeKernel) for GPU 1 and 2, leaving only GPU 0 hashing.

See if you can bitcoin mine first to see if you can use the devices at all before starting the magic incantation and sacrificing goats involved in scrypt mining. I believe AMD may have reinvented their dummy-plug requirement bug which dummy plugs or rolling back to an earlier driver would fix.

Thanks mate, will do.

I'm also downloading Xubuntu 12.04 at the moment, so I'm going to roll back to that, then use Catalyst 12.8 and AMD APP SDK 2.7 to rule out any potential issues.

Cheers will report back

Hi ckolivas,

Your website http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/ is down for now?

I am having a problem right now.

My Litecoin pool went down so I decided to reconfigure for another pool. I re-wrote the config batch file to point to the new URL but the card would not work, a 5830.

If I tried the original I=20 intensity the screen would momentarily blackout and the driver would fail then recover. Cgminer would then report the GPU as sick and shutdown.

Since then the old pool has come back online and, using the original config batch file, I can still no longer get any meaningful hashes at I=16, about 7kH/s. Any attempt at I=20 results in the same driver failure.

I have used 12.8 and 13.1 AMD drivers. Cleaned out all and restarted. Using the latest cgminer.

Has anyone had this problem too or might know what the problem is?

Thanks!

does cgminer work well with the new HD7790 with Bonaire core
i'm getting only 245Khash with it

No idea. You're treading into unknown territory.

i know.
in the other hand,when mining btc,it gets ~ 305Mhash

any way we could help debugging the dynamic intensity on windows?

currently on windows 8 64bit with just an hd 5850 it basically stick to I = 7 all the time, is that expected?

Sounds good to me. Fast card shouldn't need to drop down much if ever.

[itsjustme]

I see,

i'll be getting a few 7950 shortly and will see how does that will work.

I was used to bitcoin mining with pocblm and that with -f 60 was giving perfect desktop interaction and as soon as there was no desktop acceleration it was taking full gpu power :/

maybe it's just scrypt that can't be tuned differently

Hi ckolivas,

Your website http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/ is down for now?

Yes - he is having issues with his host.  Please see the links below (all are 2.11.4).

Updated now with Linux Binary and Source in BZip2 format

Linux Binary (.lrz) - http://www.sendspace.com/file/71oid5
Linux Binary (.bz2) - http://www.sendspace.com/file/tw43fr

Windows Binary (.7z) - http://www.sendspace.com/file/s14bk2

I confirm the Windows file is downloaded directly from ck.kolivas.org before the site went down.  The other linux files were sent to me from ckolivas.

I get Error -5 Enqueueing Kernel onto command queue. (clEnqueueNDRangeKernel) for GPU 1 and 2, leaving only GPU 0 hashing.

I got that error in bfgminer when i sat the intensity or the threads too high. One of it was it. The readme.scrypt has a good explaination how to setup the intensity max. I havent checked if the same max value applies for bitcoin mining.

additionally: cgminer "freezes" (cannot even quit it with Q, have to close the windows clicking on the X) once I switch users on windows 8

Don't switch users.  Or if you do stop CGMiner and then reopen it in the other user account.

am i suppose to run the cgminer.c in terminal? when i mark it as executable i get a bunch of errors in terminal.

How did you compile it?

I do not believe i did compile it.. just extracted the tar ball and tried to run it... i do not understand CURL and what it has to do with CGMINER.

Am i missing something?

How far did you get in the README?

okay i saw some other people run the autogen.sh file which i did following a make and makefile command.. that seemed to make an cgminer file to is now in that folder.

i am not trying to run the commands but i seems that CGminer is splitting the load between my two cards so running each one at half speed. When i run one GPU at a time with the -d command i can get my left video card to run full speed.  But when i try to run them together the feedback states the mhash but when ending a session i see it was just split between the two cards.. When i try -d 0 and or -d 1 only my left card seems to want to work, and crossfire is not enabled.

This is on an Alienware M17xR2 Laptop with two 5800 Junipers, they should be running at about 185 mhash each

 See pics in link. my output is:

Code:

./cgminer -o stratum.ozco.in:80 -u user -p pass -I 8 -d 0 -o stratum.ozco.in:80 -u user -p pass -I 8 -d 1  --gpu-engine 820,820 --gpu-memclock 1000,1000 --temp-target 80,80 --temp-overheat 90,90 

See screenshots...

Just want to say I ended up rolling back to Xubuntu 12.04, using Catalyst 12.8, ADL SDK 5.0, CGMiner 2.11.4 (? Latest anyway), and APP SDK 2.7. Works perfect* and solved all the previous problems I was having. I recommend this combination to anyone who is struggling to get it working or looking for a linux miner.

Thanks for your help ckolivas.



* Ok one small thing, I'm using VNC now as a way to solve it, so it's not that big of a deal, but when I try and run headless and only ssh in it seems to disable all my GPU's. It doesn't seem like I can say Display=:0 as I don't have any displays in there.

Like I said, using VNC seems to fix it though.

Sorry if this is one that's already been answered. If so, please say so but I did search and couldn't find any info.

I have been happily mining with CGminer on my AMD GPUs for a while now. This is not a fulltime miner and Bioshock prompted me to upgrade my drivers so I downloaded the 13.3 beta drivers. Unfortunately, now when cgminer starts doing its stuff, the DOS block just goes blank. It looks like it's running since I have a hashrate showing on my monitoring software but otherwise, I can't tell and it's tricky cause I like to leave a couple of GPUs mining while I game on the other.

Do I just need to roll back the drivers or is there another known fix?

I'd just rollback your drivers.  Shouldn't need to user a newer one for Bioshock, regardless of what it says.

Here's an odd one I'm running into today after re-burning my USB stick's linux image from a clean copy, pulling in the latest git, compiling and firing up cgminer...

cgminer's interface ignores all normal menu keystrokes (p, g, and so on), UNLESS I neglect to specify a pool in the config file, in which case it works normally because it had to accept keyboard input to allow me to set the pool credentials. I can use ctl-c to kill it and get back to a prompt, no problem. I just can't adjust settings while cgminer is running.

This is latest git pull as of "Thu Apr 11 13:31:17 2013 +1000".

Found this bug at last and it should be fixed in git master now, thanks.

I'm having problems with cgminer and AVG antivirus free 2013.  Note that AVG antivirus free does not have a firewall.
The most annoying thing is it was working fine Thursday and suddenly stopped working.  I can't think of anything I changed on that day, or before the last reboot.

I'm using the command:

Code:

cgminer.exe -P -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u me -p 123 --auto-fan -D -T -P

1. If I start cgminer with AVG activated, most of the time cgminer will just display a blank screen (sometimes it runs for a bit and stops).  If I then disable AVG, cgminer will start and run normally.

2. Different scenario.  AVG is disabled, I start cgminer, it runs normally.  If I enable AVG, cgminer runs for a bit and then freezes.  Again, if I disable AVG, it continues.

Just for kicks I've disabled Windows firewall but it didn't do anything.  I've tried disabling individual parts of AVG but nothing happens, I have to disable the whole thing.

The debug text before the freeze isn't particularly interesting, just something like

Code:

Any ideas what to try or am I doomed to switch antivirus?
