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

[PLaci1982]

I did gave a try to

Code:

> 001.txt

and

Code:

>> 001.txt

with and without --verbose, the result are that the program exits with the error msg:

Code:

COLS value must be >= 2 and <= 4840: got -8251
initscr(): Unable to create SP

No more features for now. Just bug fixes till I return in 2 weeks' time. Plus features take time to implement, and I'll be giving priority to features requested by donors.

And what about those who have birthday?

Make sure you're redirecting STDERR, not stdout. You need to use 2>filename.txt
Also you can enable/disable verbose mode on the fly once it's running.

And your birthday helps pay for my hundreds of hours of coding how exactly?

Out of curiosity, would the SSE4 only using SSE2 instructions be considered a bug or feature?  Because having two things that do exactly the same thing is sort of a problem.

I'm sure the year to hour ratio equals out somehow.  lol

Which is a little bit of a pain to do when used in combination with screen.
Being able to specify an actual log file on the command line would be neat.

I'm trying to tell you it will work... just redirect 2>filename.txt instead of >filename.txt

eg: no log
./cgminer -o blah -u blah -p blah

with log
./cgminer -o blah -u blah -p blah 2>filename.txt

i have updated my ATI Driver on Ubuntu to the newest Version 11.7. Now I am encountering the Problem, that the miner generates 100% of CPU Usage and is significiantly slower than before the update. Anybody here with experience on that?

Yep, that's one dodgy driver. I've reproduced it.

[KJaneway]

is there a solutiion for the problem other than downgrading the driver back to 11-6

I haven't been able to find one. It appears to really be a driver bug.

[Diapolo]

I can't see the summary either on windows 7. It is an excellent idea to save it to a text file. Thx in advance, great program

Same here, if I press Q the program displays something and then just hangs.

It says "Satan <3 U", but it's too fast for the human eye to perceive...

11.7 on Windows has a new OpenCL APP 2.5 runtime, compared to the earlier 2.4 runtime ... could be the source of the problem.

On WinXP, pressing q leads to an error report being generated.  This may be related to the hang in Win7, as in WinXP there is less security, and my firewall indicates that cgminer.exe interacts with dwwin.exe (Dr. Watson Windows) to generate that report.  I don't actually use cgminer in Windows because of the high CPU usage, though.  I'm only reporting this in case it helps with the aforementioned Win7 issue.

CPU Mining doesn't work properly. No accepted shares through CPU. Only GPU works as expected.
After 2 hours run time i can see the following:

I see quite a lot of rejects from the cpu. So it means that in a few hours it did find something

[zaytsev]

ck, glitch: ./configure doesn't check for curses.

P.S. Would be nice to enable issues on github, so that bug / feature request are not lost in this thread.

[-ck]

New release 1.5.2:

Source:
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-1.5.2.tar.bz2

Linux x86_64 binary:
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-1.5.2-x86_64-built.tar.bz2

Windows binary delayed!


Changes:

- Restarting a hung GPU can hang the rest of the GPUs so just declare it dead
and provide the information in the status.
- The work length in the miner thread gets smaller but doesn't get bigger if
it's under 1 second.     This could end up leading to CPU under-utilisation and
lower and lower hash rates.     Fix it by increasing work length if it drops
under 1 second.
- Make the "quiet" mode still update the status and display errors, and add a
new --real-quiet option which disables all output and can be set once while
running.
- Update utility and efficiency figures when displaying them.
- Some Intel HD graphics support the opencl commands but return errors since
they don't support opencl. Don't fail with them, just provide a warning and
disable GPU mining.
- Add http:// if it's not explicitly set for URL entries.
- Log to the output file at any time with warnings and errors, instead of just
when verbose mode is on.
- Display the correct current hash as per blockexplorer, truncated to 16
characters, with just the time.

The ncurses crash that you fixed in 1.5.0 is back again. This is a really annoying crash and there is no way I can update curses on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I was hoping to switch over from Diabolo today :-/

I'm assuming ncurses isn't used in text mode.  That said, if you really want to switch over from Diablo today, use -T (IOW, while the issue still needed reported, I don't think it should prevent you from switching if you so desire)..

Actually, you could update curses, but you would have to compile it yourself or find an already compiled version not currently in the repository if there isn't an updated version already there.  Alternatively, upgrade your Ubuntu installation.
