hi ckolivas: The libncurses-dev package is installed.

This is the message i got:

So what can I do else?

You're missing the libncurses dev library.

sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev

[-ck]

Make install doesn't work, sorry. Just make it in its own directory and run it from there. Make sure to do ./configure again after you install any new libraries etc.

[ancow]

I have a 64bit natty here, too, and it works. Could you try without the GPU mining stuff to see whether it compiles that way? If so, there might be a conflict between the specified LDFLAGS and the expected default.

[OCedHrt]

Couple of issues (on windows)

1. --ndev | -n also uses -n, which is also used to turn off dynamic intensity.
2. ctrl-break doesn't restore the command prompt back to normal - no cursor, no scrolling, insert mode turned on, etc. and ctrl-c doesn't work.
3. default detected parameter for 6870 (whatever they are) are not optimal. -w 128 -v 2 is better. i think it detects -w 256.
4. LP doesn't work with bithopper's. don't know if this is because of bithopper or some issue w/ LP on cgminer side. it just loops LP requests.

5. no output at all if missing url, user, pass. For some pools pass is optional.
6. Even if it does not connect to host it is hashing...what is it hashing? this is with an invalid/incorrect url

[iopq]

I'm telling you, there's some kind of a weird display bug when a share gets solved in under 5 seconds, it shows hashrates way higher than what my card can do

[-ck]

You can log to a file with the curses output. Just redirect stderr to a file.
./cgminer blah 2>mylogfile.txt

cgminer detects if stderr is going to a file or just the console and decides on whether to log to it or not.

Crashes are part of the game early on in code, and hopefully I can close in on all of them.

More code to come shortly (most in git tree already)...

Trying to install on Natty 64bit.

I can build both tarball and git versions, but neither works.

The 1.2.4 tarball just says: Segmentation fault
The git repo says: 2 GPUs Detected. Then back to shell

trying against 2.4sdk, 11.6 catalyst. Dual 5830s.

I have no problems running hashkill, phoenix or poclbm on this box.

Make install doesn't work, sorry. Just make it in its own directory and run it from there. Make sure to do ./configure again after you install any new libraries etc.

I don't know exactly why, but that made it. I re- ./configured and "make"ed again and now it works.

Thanks fot the help. Now i will do a bit of testing and optimizing to look what the miner can do in comparison to phoenix. But what is weird: the CPU usage of my triple Core CPU is about 30% on each core. While using 4 Instances of Phoenix, i used only 3 to 4 % of each core. So the XPU usage is quite higher with the cgminer. Any theories on that?


EDIT:
==> SOLVED:I forgot the -n flag. Now the CPU usage is around 2% for each core.

what exactly have you done? I had also issues on 64 bit natty, but now it works....

[simplecoin]

Ah, it works if I leave off -n. But I can only run 1 instance in linux, 2 doesn't seem to work.

Without -n I'm about 7-8 mhash behind hashkill on my dedicated miner and 20-25 on my workstation

[dikidera]

No, this is what the curses UI looks like

[-ck]

New release version.

Source only at the moment:
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer-1.2.5.tar.bz2

New features:
- I removed the -n option being no dynamic and left it how it was as number of devices
- Setting an intensity now of any value automatically disables the dynamic feature. It was basically completely overrided if dynamic was enabled, so these are now mutually exclusive features.
- I've added signal handling to try and clean up at the end and return the shell/console neatly if you press ctrl-c. I believe you need to use ctrl-break on windows still (when the binary comes out).
- There is a new option:
 --text-only|-T      Disable ncurses formatted screen output
- I've made it so that the watchdog thread only restarts threads if they're inactive in the setting of normal network conditions and will not try to restart them if the network connectivity is down.
- cgminer now tests on startup that it can connect at least once with the url and credentials to not try and reconnect indefinitely.
- There is no "fake work" at startup now with one hard lot of work handed to the gpu mining thread which should prevent the false positive hardware errors reported.
- CPU mining has been fixed, it was not resetting back properly on getting a new work item.
- The status window in curses mode will update more reliably and do less work now.
- Modifications to build on mingw32 for windows and now to build on osx courtesy of Ycros
- A status summary is now printed on exiting cgminer. It looks like this:

... I think I need a little break now

[indio007]

I'm disappointed to report,losing like 20mh on 6850. Maybe CGMINER is not configured optimally? This is what i'm using as of the moment. -w 256 -g 7 --intensity 9

[OCedHrt]

I'm disappointed to report,20mh on 6850. Maybe CGMINER is not configured optimally? This is what i'm using as of the moment. -w 256 -g 7 --intensity 9

Try -v 2 as well. Since it may pick v 4. But you really should be on -w 128 for a 6850 I think. I lose 5mh/s going from 128 to 256 on a 6870.

[burp]

This is just a reminder

Hello,

It appears that you use post instead of get when doing Long Polling. That is contradictory to the unofficial spec and really annoying when trying to debug software LP failures.

See https://deepbit.net/longpolling.php

-C00w

That's good to know, thanks. I didn't implement any of the original communications parts that cgminer grew out of, so I had no idea. I'll look into correcting that.

[Shevek]

... I think I need a little break now

Sure! Thanks for your effort.

But still it produces a lot of rejections... 

[Paul4games]

ckolivas when you get some time please post an windows compiled version too as i don't have mingw on this computer and because of some problems i can't install it now.

[dikidera]

I noticed a bug in the CPU miner which was not in the previous versions. If i set the scantime to very high(above 60) eventually the cpu miner runs out of nonces and shit start to happen.

Is that a technical term?
