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

[jjiimm_64]

let me show you a snap shot from my anubis console of one of the 4 rigs I have with 5870s each.

I apologize if this is linked somewhere else in this massive thread, but is that interface/summary/scripts opensource/linkable/etc?

did you search the forums for the word 'anubis ' ?

I tried with "cgminer web monitor", but it tells me that my VGAs are offline.
...

What options did you use to run cgminer?
You of course need --api-listen before anything will work.
You need --api-network if the monitoring tool is on a different computer or if the monitoring tool doesn't allow 127.0.0.1 when it is on the same computer

Edit: I'm thinking of adding --api-allow IP[/N],IP2[/N2]...
not sure about deprecating --api-network - but probably easiest to just leave it (unless ckolivas has a preference about that)

i used both options, and this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=58834.0

that one did not work.

Then with the same options, anubis worked.

Debugging requires:
-D --verbose -T
as the README file says...

cgminer crashed

Says the same thing
I'd guess that you didn't install it correctly and
 phatk120203.cl  and/or poclbm120203.cl
are missing.

I'm getting an unholy amount of discarded work and a fare amount of rejects... where should I start looking to fix/improve this?

Then with the same options, anubis worked.

Then the problem is probably with the web monitor software since anubis works
(if anubis didn't work then I'd say it's your network/settings)

Aggression 5 generates more for me then aggression 8 on my 6850, and 5 lets the desktop actually be usable too.

Hello ck!

Apparently the problem with "OFF" decreased but not disappeared completely:

Same here. Ran 18 hrs and got 3 of 4 cards showing OFF with 2.2.3.  Started 2.1.2 with the same flags last night, I'll check it in 8 hours.  Are you using --auto-fan? Not using auto-fan seemed to solve it in 2.2.1, until my power crashed anyway.

Can you check in the menu when the GPUs were "last initialised" ?

hello gentlemen

i have been mining with cgminer in windows since the beginning but I decided recently that I would try linux on one of my rigs
I am pretty sure I set everything up correctly

but cgminer will only show 1 GPU, even though aticonfig shows all 5

I get that more ADL devices than OpenCL devices error

I will gladly send 1 btc tip to whoever gives me the fix first! thanks!!

export DISPLAY=:0
then start cgminer

[cablepair]

thank you for that but now im having an even weirder problem

it went from 1 GPU at full speed to 5 GPUS at very low speed

like all five are adding up to only 420 mhash,

is there a fix for this too?

What does "cgminer -n" show?

Hey Con,

I guess here is a good place to restart our discussion, I registered with Github and took a first look into it. Is there an easy way for me to help you with the code itself via commits or pull-requests? I have never worked with Github, so that's all new. But as DiaKGCN evolves I would be glad to look after that part in CGMINER without the need for you to always implement the changes via the Phoenix version of the kernel. I don't want to fiddle in your code, but I would love to help not by only writing mails .

Are your five graphics cards correctly set up in xorg? By that I mean have you run:
sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all
and then restarted?

those are 5 x 5870 I should be getting 430 mhash each

the weird thing is before i exported display it only showed one card but it was mining fine at full 430 mhash

[cablepair]

edit

no change at all

i know this sounds very strange but watching this thing it almost looks like its trying to maintain a mhash less than 500 total or something

the gpus mhash fluctuations constantly going from 20-100+ and back down each one keeps changing but the aggregate speed stays around 500 mhash for all 5 cards...

That's a very nice how to in the Bootcamp ... I'll be back (will start setting up the local GIT stuff tomorrow).

Thanks ,
