I don't remember why, and I can't find a post saying why, but I'm still running 3.1.1. I decided to try out 3.4.2 and I get this: ADL..................: SDK NOT found, GPU monitoring support DISABLED from the exact same configure command I can still run in the 3.1.1 source and get this: ADL..................: SDK found, GPU monitoring support enabled . Any chance a change needs made in the source to fix that again? I know this happened once before and it was a pretty quick fix, after which I redownloaded. Copy the ADL_SDK include files from 3.1.1 (or the sdk_app thingy) to the ADL_SDK directory and re-configure. Duh! Been way too long. Thanks. ETA: Sent a bitcent your way. I fumbled around with that for a couple of hours till it hit me.. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I'm having trouble getting 3.4.2 working with my ASICMiner USB Block Erupter. I'm still using 3.1.1. 8( I've looked at the usbfail post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.msg2817682#msg2817682I've built a local version of libusb-1.0.16-rc10 But, when I try to run cgminer's configure to use it it looks like it is still using the cgminer*/compat/libusb* version. FYI - I only use this machine for mining so I would be happy to change libusb to whatever version works for cgminer if that's easier than pointing the cgminer make to my local libusb... Thanks.

3.4.2 uses libusb-1.0.16-rc10 If you build it yourself, start with an empty directory.

I wanted to make it easier for everyone so I modified the entire build tree to use the optimal libusb automatically, that's why it's now included in the cgminer release tarballs/git tree (it is 1.0.16-rc10) and is built into the cgminer binary statically. No need to do anything with libusb from the user side.

Hey Kano, Yes, this box is used solely as a p2pool node, all my other mining is done separately on other PC's. When compiling, does the make clean command empty the libusb directory? if not, can you give me a pointer as to where it is so I can empty it manually? I'm not familiar with the java api summary I'm afraid, is there a command line string? I have a feeling that the usb is the cause of the problem, it's just how to fix it I'm a little lost with. I've ran this box for months previously with very little cpu usage up until the latest update. Thanks bro.

echo -n summary | nc -4 localhost 4028 | tr "|," "\n"
If you don't have nc ... I've no idea what package it is in coz I have no idea what linux you are using
As for building cgminer, if your cgminer is in /home/me/cgminer/ then:
cd /home/me mv cgminer cgminer-old git clone git://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git cd cgminer
... and start autogen/configure all over again then make Since I have no idea what is in your old cgminer folder (e.g. libusb from before or what) this will ensure you are using a fresh 3.4.2 and the correct libusb which is part of 3.4.2 and you can't 'make' until you have successfully run autogen and configure and thus have updated all the makefiles

I know I'm a bit late in menting this, but a few posts back there was a bit of confusion with where 'make clean' should go. I think people may have been getting confused with 'make distclean'. 'make clean' should just remove old object files, etc (things generated AFTER make is executed) leaving the configure file, etc intact. 'make distclean' will do the same as 'make clean' AND it will remove the configuration file, etc too. So 'make clean' should be safe to run after a autogen or configure command, 'make distclean' won't be safe. If you get an error when you type make clean that there is nothing to be done, that usually means that it's already clean.
I would imagine a good thing to do when building a new version is definitely to run 'make distclean' first to clean out old configs as well, especially if the build process has changed. Even better would be to just 'sudo rm -r <cgminer directory>' and do another git clone of the repo, then you know you are safe and don't have anything lying around if you are having problems with the build process.
I realise this was not the original posters problem in the end, but just though it should be mentioned for when people compile other things. Alex

Yeah, thanks indeed. I actually deleted the cgminer folder a few times in an effort to ensure a completely "fresh" install, but still had the 30% cpu problem. I'm sure it's a usb issue, my usb controllers are nvidia (ugh!) so I'm currently searching for the latest linux driver for them in the hope that they're newer/better than the ones incorporated in Xubuntu 12.04 64bit (for kano) which I'm using. Failing that, I think it might be worth upgrading to Xubuntu 13.04 - maybe the usb controller drivers are better in that distro? I dunno, I'm grabbing at straws a little here.

FYI - and I'd not be surprised at all if he didn't want me to say this - but when has that stopped me before ... ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ckolivas isn't making any more firmware releases for now. His OpenWRT thingy (whatever it is) died - he's mining over the USB connection. So I'd suggest if someone wants more firmware releases, they should band together and send him the hardware needed to replace whatever it is that has a reset switch on it that broke. Now the reason being the obvious one, that Team Avalon fucked you all over when it comes to support, ckolivas has been supporting you all very well, even though in my Kano vs GitSyncom thread, Team Avalon said I was wrongs suggesting that hardware was required to support them ... yet they pretty much didn't at all ... yeah clearly yet another thing to add the the list of crap from GitSyncom ... So, yeah, get him a replacement OpenWRT board (I think that's what needed) if you want more firmware releases ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I have a backup TP-Link 703n. I can also drop a public SSH key into dropbear on my Avalon.

I decided to do an upgrade to 13.04 64bit - fresh install of everything. This time I didn't start my p2pool node, opting to straight forward mine on a pool instead for testing purposes. The result is actually worse than with 12.04 I'm afraid, cgminer is now using 37% cpu: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs5.postimg.org%2F3m9jzazk3%2FCGM1.jpg&t=665&c=U8DGl_3OEgOZeg) Not sure what to make of this now, but for sure 37% is way too high for 40 usb sticks, and there's absolutely no chance of a previous build corrupting this one - it's all brand new........ I'm now ready to accept any and all possible solutions, no matter how ridiculous or far fetched they might sound - I really don't want to reduce myself to using the "other" mining software from "he who shall not be named" ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Update: Been testing a few things out, with some very strange behaviour & results. Using 1 brick of 10 usb's = 3.5% cpu " 2 " " 10 " = 12% cpu (x4!) ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) " 3 " " 10 " = 23% cpu (x2) " 4 " " 10 " = 37% cpu (x0.5) ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) One would have thought that if 1 brick uses 3.5% cpu, then in theory 4 bricks would use a maximum of 14%, I know that's not how it works but I'm using layman's terms here. The result is the same no matter what order I try the bricks in or what usb port I use, but why the jump from 3.5% to 12% for 1 extra brick? In fact, why is it using so much cpu generally? Kano or Ckolivas - any thoughts? Getting a bit desperate here. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Decided to just use the prebuilt Binaries instead of compiling it for Windows XP 32bit because I ran into too many problems. I can get CGminer to load but it is only recognizing the card in the first PCI-E slot. I have a dual card system with an Invidia gt520 in the first PCI-E slot and the XFX 5870 HD. Cgminer will only mine on the Nvidia card although it gives and error of Multiple OpenCl devices and ADL devices being misdetected/mismatched. I tried to use the -n function in a bat file but I get a brief flash of readout and then the program shuts down. I have been able to mine BTC on OpenCL via GIUminer on the ATI card but for some reason it's giving me errors for scrypt mining with CGminer. Any suggestions?
1. Is there anyway to generate a Log file so I can read the error output message?
2. Is there a command to put in the Bat file to ignore the primary card (nvidia) and only work off the secondary card (ati). Since I can't get -n command to function it I don't even know if it is being detected? It is being detected by cpuz and the system registry and I have been able to mine BTC with it but not Litecoin in scrypt?
