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

[twmz]

I was aware phatk was incompatible with quite a few things, which is why I kept the poclbm kernel in there. Some of the detection changes might select phatk now if they hadn't previously, so perhaps that's the issue. Try explicitly setting the kernel (new feature in 1.4.0) to poclbm with -k poclbm

I'll try that, later today.

That didn't make a difference.  Same error as before, so apparently not phatk kernel related.  Let me know what other information I can provide.

P.S.  My error is the same as what ancow is seeing, and it looks like he was able to provide a stacktrace of the segfault.

Hi,

has anybody gotten cgminer to run on the console (i.e., no running X)?

Tracing the cgminer process, it gets as far as opening /dev/ati/card0 and running a few ioctl calls (and incidentally _not_ opening /dev/ati/card1, despite the fact that I have two of them), but then clGetDeviceIDs() returns -1. Ouch.

As ckolivas already mentioned, you need X for the drivers to communicate with the graphics card. See http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=28402.msg387438#msg387438 and answers.

As ckolivas already mentioned

Bah. I was sure I've read the whole thread.

Thanks.

Latest git, on my 32bit Kubuntu 11.04 segfaults when executing "cgminer --help". GDB's backtrace returns:

I get a segfault, too (on OS X 10.6.8 ).
Here's the output + command line:

And the trace:

Thanks! The backtrace helps to know why it segfaults (fixed in git now), but not why it's failing to create a command queue. I've tried backing out the compiler unloading patch as well in case that's the reason (changes are in git).

Some weirdness:

- If multiple, identical GPUs are present in the system, the same OpenCL kernel will be compiled for each of them.

No it does not. It compiles one kernel once for all similar hardware and then loads the binary from that point on. Since you have to run cgminer from the source directory currently, that's where it also stores the binary file.

So, I think I tracked down what led me to ask these questions.

My miner systems run without local disk and obtain everything over via PXE/TFTP/NFS. The directory where mining binaries (including cgminer) is installed isn't writable to the miner node users. Therefore, the binary output file can't be opened and, if I'm reading the source and the debug output correctly, the kernel is getting compiled memory-to-memory multiple times. Building to a temp directory would be one way to solve this.

In the process of troubleshooting, I found that adding the -T option to suppress curses output fails in a strange way with the latest linux binary. This works fine without -T, it's just hard to see everything that's going on as stuff scrolls up the curses window (and out of my scrollback):

Thanks! The backtrace helps to know why it segfaults (fixed in git now), but not why it's failing to create a command queue. I've tried backing out the compiler unloading patch as well in case that's the reason (changes are in git).

Great, thanks.  I can't get ./autogen.sh to work (never have been able to get it to work on OS X) I think because OS X has the wrong version of autoconf (autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61).

Hopefully ancow can test it, else I'll have to wait for the next source package that has ./configure already generated.

ck, I am still trying to track down the annoying window resize segfault. I compiled the git version like this:

CFLAGS="-O0 -g -Wall -march=native" ./configure --prefix=/opt/cgminer

and started like this

gdb /opt/cgminer/bin/cgminer

then I did "set args" and "run" and it does NOT segfault. If I run it like this from the command line it segfaults upon resize. Is there any other way to collect the information that would help you to fix the issue?

I'll test it in a while, now I need to get something to eat first.
If you want to do it yourself, the only changes were to main.c and ocl.c, AFAICT, so simply copy those to the 1.4.0 directory and compile there (that's how I'm doing it).

New trace on OSX (copied latest main.c and ocl.c to the 1.4.0 directory), same parameters as before + debug and verbose output:

I sincerely doubt the "idle for more than 60 seconds" message, especially since the program crashed before it ran that long.

Aha. It never even started and you hit another bug trying to reference a thread that wasn't there. Luckily I have an idea as to why it didn't start. Perhaps osx doesn't like out of order execution enabled. Now updated in git, hopefully fixing both.

Latest git works (doesn't crash) but gets about 20% less MH/s than 1.3.1 (~200 MH/s vs ~250MH/s) on my HD 5870/OS X Lion.

Great, glad it works, and thanks for testing!

Give it time. The statistics now start out at time = 0, and it can take a while before you get the real value (10+ mins). Perhaps I should go back to resetting the statistics like I used to, but that made for some nice funky high values initially. What do people think?

I was just coming back to say that it actually ramped back up to where it was was 1.3.1.  I think it is fine as is now that I understand what to expect.

Leave the -O2 -g on and try again (in gdb).

when solo-mining, i get

Code:

Q:1438  A:0  R:1360

what happened to the 78 requested work items? i know up to 2*NB (due to 2 threads) might be thrown away, but at that time NB was 24. still missing 30 "shares".

another thing: is it possible to set a flag for solo mining so the miner will report rejected shares as accepted? i really like the overview, but with rejected shares everything says "0" :<

Not every work item has a solution. Thus you will not get always get the same number of submissions as queries. Conversely some work items have more than one solution. This leads to "efficiency" of greater than 100% (when not solo mining).

As for the flag idea...
