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

[-ck]

Donation site is completely down for the moment so if it works through this then all is well. I consider this bugfix big enough to warrant a new version entirely.

Just reporting, after upgrading to 2.1.0 my reject rate has been lower over the last 3 hours average. Now between 0.7% and 1.2% instead of 3%-7%. Much better. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. This reject problem was a difficult bug to track and only affected people with multiple pools set up (which most of us do).

[-ck]

Yes when the donation pool is down it leaks the failed work requests to other pools so that's the intended behaviour. Perhaps I should make it specifically use whatever is considered the current pool instead.

[-ck]

Done, updated git tree so the primary pool is not considered lagging if the donation pool falls over.

Hi!

I'm just trying to build this on OsX 10.7.2 but get stuck in an error at
./configure if i'm using CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure like in the Readme file.

ckolivas, if I'm reading source code correctly, only "data" and "target" fields are necessary in getwork request, right? The rest can be calculated directly by the miner.

I also see that you're requesting 128 bytes of "data", although only first 80 bytes is really used for hashing. Can you please modify the miner that 80 bytes (160 chars in hex in getwork stream) will be enough for hashing? I'm working on some pool update and found that both poclbm and phoenix will work with 80 bytes in data already, but I would like to support your miner with this extension as well...

You will need to copy the SDK header files into the ADL_SDK subdir.
You should have files like this,

adl_defines.h
adl_sdk.h
adl_structures.h

usually found in ADL_SDK/includes from the SDK install.

No, the ADL is the ATI Display Library, and it only works on linux and windows.

Your build failure is due to the new api code. I'll have to refer this to kano for him to fix the build problems in osx. 2.0.8 may be the last version that compiles on osx for now.

Should work already without midstate and smaller data type.

Hm couldn't get to finish 2.0.8 either. But thanks for your reply! Maybe a future version will support osx again.

Firstly the fact that "configure" says "checking whether the C compiler works... no"
suggests that you need to fix your compile environment so it actually works normally.

Only Suggestion I have for api.c
(since I do not have OSX and the Apple license says that if I buy OSX, I must not install it on my Linux computer - Apple are a bunch of fags)
is that at line 24 it says "#if defined(unix)"
Now OSX is a "unix" OS (it's based on BSD) so I guess whatever compiler you are using doesn't know that
So if you just remove that line 24 and the matching "#endif" that may fix it?

One other thing, is anyone able to start cgminer from a remote desktop session and have it detect their gpus? I can monitor what cgminer is doing on my machine over remote desktop, but if I close cgminer remotely and then try to start it back up from the remote session, it doesn't detect the gpu.

I don't know about windows, but with linux you need DISPLAY=:0 before your launch string if starting over vnc/ssh to detect the GPU's. 

Is there anyone who knows if there is a Windows equivalent?

[P4man]

Dont use remote desktop. Try VNC.

from FAQ:

Q: The build fails with gcc is unable to build a binary.
A: Remove the "-march=native" component of your CFLAGS as your version of gcc
does not support it.

His build problems are elsewhere though. I haven't had anyone who could help me on osx for a while so I've been unable to keep the osx build working.

Try building 2.0.8 but without yasm installed. It looks like it's dying on the (useless) CPU mining assembly code. That is unless you want to do CPU mining...

Remote desktop sessions don't have access to GPU hardware.

Yes there is a Windoze equivalent, its called VNC.  VNC works for me, usually, but it can be a little flaky.

First off, LOVE cgminer, amazing, thank you.. please never stop development!!

Card order/sorting...

Is there any way to get CGMiner to indicate the card type it has assigned to "CARD 0", "CARD 1" etc, or at least check it against the "list-adapters" list?

Case in point, what the ATI driver indicates as card 0,1,2 is backwards from what CG miner chooses... has bit me more than once.

Example?

[root@miners]# DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --list-adapters
* 0. 08:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series
  1. 04:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series

* - Default adapter

but cgminer has the 5800 series as GPU 0, and 6900 Series as Card 1

GPU 0: 398.9 / 392.2 Mh/s | A:371  R:0  HW:0  U:5.29/m  I:9
80.0 C  F: 42% (1801 RPM)  E: 960 MHz  M: 300 Mhz  V: 1.088V  A: 99% P: 0%

GPU 1: 364.2 / 366.1 Mh/s | A:361  R:1  HW:0  U:5.15/m  I:9
78.0 C  F: 52% (2888 RPM)  E: 900 MHz  M: 1250 Mhz  V: 1.100V  A: 99% P: 0%

(now that I'm posting this, I'm wondering whether my DISPLAY order in xorg.conf doesn't match the adapter list, order wise, and whether I could fix it that way... but it would still be nice to see cgminer identify the card matching GPU)
