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

[P_Shep]

Have to say, everything's working perfectly with CGminer for me right now.
Up to 3 days non-stop, and not a single error of any kind

Only issue I'm seeing is for every longpoll notification in the log, there's a 'pool not providing work fast enough' message. right after it

My AVG antivirus reports that libpdcurses.dll is a password keylogger, I'm assuming this is false?

What is that free Microsoft antivirus?
Someone told me to use Microsoft antivirus + Microsoft firewall.

Yes, false positive.

How do I let AMD Catalyst or MSI AB control fan speed instead of CGminer?

How do I let AMD Catalyst or MSI AB control fan speed instead of CGminer?

Don't you just remove the --Auto-fan command line argument?

I've been running cgminer with my 7970 for a while now. Everything worked perfect till I updated the Intel HD4000 driver.
I've tried making a new conf file but that didn't make a difference.

I get this error

Failed to init GPU thread 0, disabling device 0
Restarting the GPU from the menu vil nit fix this.
Try restarting cgminer.

Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

Thank you :-)

Hey all,

I been running cgminer for a while now with no problems (4 GPU and 2 BFL).  I just got another 4 BLF and I am now getting a weird problem. The BFL that cgminer labels as BFL 0 show crazy high hash rates (I wish 13000 M/s)  but is actually not doing any work (U=0).  See photo

-I've verified all the BLFs work independently on another system. 
-It does matter which unit is at the cgminer position BLF0 but that is the spot that always acts up.


Any ideas
Thanks

Try specifying bitforce: before the port like "bitforce:\\.\COM5"

Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't seem to work.  I am launching cgminer with the following:
cgminer  -S bitforce:\\.\COM4 -S bitforce:\\.\COM5 -S bitforce:\\.\COM6 -S bitforce:\\.\COM7 -S bitforce:\\.\COM3 -S bitforce:\\.\COM8

Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Have you tried running (4) in one command prompt, (2) in another? IIRC someone had luck with that.

[Askit2]

the 700 firmwares did that to me. But the unit in question never acted right by itself so this isn't likely your problem. I think 800 did as well.

Hi, how is possible to change pool setting on many rigs(BAMT) in few steps at the same time?

As per readme, tried?:
sudo modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0x6014

Yeah there's a debug option that I added that will tell you the error code if anything unexpected happens.
So adding "-D" to the command line will give back a message like:
 Open %s failed, errno:%d <- linux
 Open %s failed, GetLastError:%u <- windows
That errno or GetLastError will help work it out.

The modprobe command did not fix it. Running "sudo usermod -a -G dialout USERNAME" did fix it, though. I don't know what this command does, but ostensibly it gives my user account access to this computers virtual serial ports?

The dialout group gives you full access to the serial ports as normal user using that command added you to that group, it was/still is used for modems among other serial devices.

Ok, I've been having a somewhat weird problem with cgminer for a while now. I've tried searching but I couldn't find any relevant info. I'm running windows 7 x64. When I start cgminer it crashes immediately. There's no error message shown, even with -D command line option. I get a "cgminer has stopped working" dialog from windows. It doesn't seem to be related to my devices, it happens if I use one or two of my 7970s, or no GPUs and just the two Cairnsmore1's I have connected. I have tried multiple versions of cgminer (2.5.0, 2.3.4(Enterpoint modified)) , and the issue occurs on both of them. I've downloaded a fresh cgminer and the issue occurs with it as well. I have installed multiple AMD driver versions (12.3, 12.4, 12.6, 12.7) and the issue occurs with all of them. To my knowledge nothing has changed since cgminer was working properly.

I can get cgminer to run by restarting windows (I have cgminer included in the startup folder to run automatically) and not touching anything. It'll run properly until I try to move the cgminer window or open a browser or media app. Then it crashes in exactly the same way, and crashes with each subsequent restart.

Now the strangest part is that this happened to me about a month ago out of the blue like now. I tried everything I could think of to fix it, and got frustrated and walked away for a while. I came back (maybe 12 hours later) and ran cgminer and it worked flawlessly up until last night.

I used the debugging option via visual studios and was able to get this, no clue if it'll be of help at all:

Unhandled exception at 0x62209ccc in cgminer.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x6223efac.

If anyone could help I'd appreciate it, I can't think of anything else I can try to get this working again (other than just waiting it out, for whatever reason that worked before). Thanks guys.
