You're doomed to switch antivirus or use a smarter one that allows exceptions. It's detecting the interface dll that takes your keystrokes as a keylogger and disabling the interface. Alternatively you can always run in the boring text only interface with -T.

Thanks for the reply.  I tried:

Code:

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

but it doesn't work any better, it just freezes after running for a little bit (recall the first example had "-D -T -P"). I got:

Code:

If I kill it using the X (it's ^C does nothing), the next startup doesn't get past "Tune dynamic...".

So it does not appear to be the keystrokes to me.  I though it was network, but I believe it sometimes connects to it when it starts up.  It seems to be when it goes to get a new work unit or something like that (am I correct to assume that when it starts up it finishes previous units it got before?).

Any more suggestions?

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.

Not helping so far. I went to 13.1 then 12.2. Things seem to just be getting worse.

[Richy_T]

So then it was failing to start. So I'm back to 13.1 and now it still won't start at all... I'm kinda stuck. Can't go back.

If it's any help, poclbm is also giving a segmentation fault.

Hi guys,
lately i scan my pc with malwarebytes after the latest update and found out that cgminer.exe (in most of the revisions)
is "infected" with "PUP.BitCoinMiner".
i searched and found this related topic http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=109520
in which a moderator said that if you have installed this program your self then it is propably safe, but i wonder:
have you faced this issue before or with other untivirus software?

Yep - it really is a BitcoinMiner ... as the README FAQ tells you also ...

[Richy_T]

Well, I'm back to 13.3 Beta. Things are now working again but still the blank screen if I run cgminer plain. Looks like it's working with the -T option though.

If anyone knows how to get this working properly, I'd be grateful to know since I'm thinking this doesn't look very interactive. At least I'm back hashing, even if my evening of Bioshock went out the window

Edit: If I run cgminer on its own (where the screen is blank), I hear the fans speed up, my pool reports that I'm hashing about the rate I'd expect but all of my shares are dead.

I'm going to try rolling back to 12.8 next but I'm not holding out a lot of hope.

Everything was working well over the last 24 hours, 3 of my cards were hashing at 500 Kh/s, for an average of 1500 Kh/s over an extended period. Not the most mind blowing figures I've seen but acceptable to me.

I've added another card since last night, and now I'm trying to get 4 working. Everything is detected fine, but it seems card 1 is working harder than the others. I'm troubleshooting at I = 15 so my system is a little more responsible, but basically what I get is this...



When I bump it up to I=18 I get GPU0 hashing at around 500 Kh/s, but the other three sit at around 350 Kh/s. Pretty frustrating as this gives me the old 1.5 Mh/s I had with three cards. Any ideas? Happy to post verbose output again if you think it would help.

This is with I=18..



Cheers.

Hello. I'm using Xubuntu and cgminer 2.11.4 with 3x 7950. Help me please how can i control voltages from console if it's possible? I try do it with cgminer but no effect. Thanks.

[Joshwaa]

Any ideas?

Server's back up.

anyone have a compiled binary for linux 32 bit?

i've tried to get a "recent" version of cgminer on either linuxcoin or bamt with limited success.

a 32 bit binary built with opencl/scrypt options would be the coolest.

thanks for your time,
'monkey.

why 32 bit?  because that's what bamt is

I've encountered a bug with the latest github trunk compiled for linux 32-bit:

Code:

[2013-04-15 23:15:28] API: connection from 192.168.1.3 - Accepted
[2013-04-15 23:15:28] API: recv command: (36) '{"command":"version","parameter":""}'

[2013-04-15 23:15:28] API: terminating due to: BYE

Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated.  This is from my anubis trunk that's been working with previous versions of cgminer (through 2.11.3) wonderfully.  Here's the trunk if someone wants to dig into that:

https://github.com/hank/ANUBIS

Let me know what I should do/try.  Thanks.

Update: looks like it's in api.c on line 4118:

Code:

                if (SOCKETFAIL(c = accept(*apisock, (struct sockaddr *)(&cli), &clisiz))) {
                        applog(LOG_ERR, "API failed (%s)%s (%d)", SOCKERRMSG, UNAVAILABLE, *apisock);
                        goto die;
                }

Update 2: Just tried reverting to tag v2.11.4.  It does not seem to have the issue.  Not sure what changed.

[itsjustme]

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.

ouch, can't do this at all

no way around this?

Can you run it with the -T option (I'm thinking no).

Code was in flux with a stratum socket closing bug that tried to close fd 0 till yesterday. How recently did you merge with master?

I've never used Win8.  But in WinXP/7 when you switch users the background user looses access to the GPU since the foreground desktop has it.

Search through this thread and you'll see it talked about several times.

OK. So I got back to 12.10 and this may fix Joshwaa's problem also.

The answer was to forget the uninstall option in the catalyst software. ATI has a driver cleaner that strips all the drivers out and restores things to how they should be. I used "Run as Administrator" to be sure. Once done, my screen was back at the "Stretched 640x480" rather than the high-res screen that it was before (perhaps indicating the uninstallation was less-than-complete previously). A couple of reboots later and from there, it was a regular install of the 12.10 drivers and I'm good to go.

[Joshwaa]

Ill give it a try. But I am on 13.1 and I have 4 other rigs on 13.1
Report back in a bit.
