[OS] nvOC Community Release free-easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining

[Bmoop]

Hi all,

I did install nvOC 19-3.2, Ubuntu 16.04, Cuda 9.2, Nvidia 418

setup the 1bash file

And if I starting the mining machine I get the message "miner not started, no auto start activ"

But auto start is set to "YES"

[LuKePicci]

Make sure about that, seems really a problem of values into 1bash, check you edited the right one

[Bmoop]

I did only change...

line 201 to "ETH"
line 205 AUTO_START_MINER="YES"
line 254 GLOBAL_WORKERNAME="YES"
line 256 AUTO_WORKERNAME="CUSTOM"
line 258 CUSTOM_WORKERNAME="rig1"
line 344 _POWERLIMIT_WATTS=65
line 346 _CORE_OVERCLOCK=0
line 348 _MEMORY_OVERCLOCK=1300
line 371 MINER_TEMP_CONTROL="YES"
line 375 FAN_SPEED=70
line 379 TARGET_TEMP=65
line 383 SHUTDOWN_TEMP=90
line 772 ETHMINER_OPTS=""
line 773 ETHMINER_VERSION="latest" 
line 964 ETH_ADDRESS="0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

line 967 ETH_PORT="9999"
line 968 ETH_WORKER="$WORKERNAME/xxxxxx@xxx.com"
line 969 ETH_POOL_PROTOCOL="stratum+tcp"


No indual Settings of the GPU, no dual-mode.

Thats all

And if I starting the mining machine I get the message "miner not started, no auto start activ"

I have some trouble understanding your problem since that message is nowhere in nvOC. I assumed you are referring to ""Auto Start Miner is set to NO...  Miner is not starting". If this is the case there is no AUTO_START_MINER="YES" into your 1bash. You may have edited 1bash from the wrong location. Run "bash ~/NVOC/mining/nvOC report" and post results.

If the error message is different then, please, report here the precise one.

We completely reworked a few very important things from 3.0 to 3.2, this means you are basically required to update your config from a fresh new 1bash template (you should have seen a warning about that during the upgrade if you used our managed script). Another aspect not to underestimate is that if you upgrade not so often it is very likely that also the miners you are currently used to implement something new to take care, and with lot of new things it's very difficult to troubleshoot the issues.

I am aware of qbash templates and redo all the infos when I update by filling out the template and save an old 1bash.bkp. this btw is awful to be honest: I have to redo all the infos every time I pass a specific qbash version, therefore I hate updating the rigs...

About the logs, those errors about no logs available are just the consequence of nvOC didn't start correctly, so there were still no logs to look at. The only log you should look at if nvOC fails to start its components is the master log, which is not available via nvOC cmdlet if you run nvOC into gnome-terminal - which is both your and default default. Your only option in such case is to access your rig via TeamViewer/vnc to see the gnome terminal window. Of course both ssh and TeamViewer gets automatically enable in such failure situations to prevent you get locked out.

so there is some logging I cant see without teamviewer? that sucks very hard because all our rigs run on a server farm and preferred access is with ssh you need to get away from this desktop stuff, the power lies in terminal/ssh imho

I'm not sure what was the root cause of your issues where you said "I thought I might need another update and ran bash nvOC upgrade but it didn't update to 3.2". Did you save some outputs of the upgrade command? Then, what you attempted afterwards was likely not correct because the point upgrade is not so easy to handle manually via git commands - that's why the upgrade cmdlet exists. From your reports, I see you explicitly cloned 3.2-stable branch. This means your upgrade path won't jump to future point releases. I guess you were on 3.0-stable before. This is fine if you want to take control over the upgrade path and not getting major updates, but if you expected to get the new 3.2 release doing nvOC upgrade you should consider switching to "release" branch instead - which is the default one in firstboot settings.

didnt saved any outputs. I tried to update 3.0 stable and then the problems appeared. I cloned once without luck, deleted everything and recloned which worked. but ethminer still not starting with fresh 3.2 STABLE and when I cant even read the master log then I get a little upset why I even tried to update :p

[WaveFront]

Hello,

In the 3.2 version (installed from nvOC-3.2_Ubuntu-16.04_Cuda-9.2_Nvidia-418_2019-05-02-2.img), I have the feeling that there are bugs in the nvOC script. For example, when I run

Code:

/nvOC gpuinfo

I get the error:

Code:

column: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character

Am I the only person to have this error?

Cheers
Luca

[LuKePicci]

@WaveFront I need you help for debugging the gpuinfo cmdlet, go into nvOC script @ line 206, replace the whole line with only "echo -e $INFO" and post results. Since it is talking about multibyte characters I have the suspect there is something wrong with the terminal character encoding. From which terminal you run the command?

@fk2 I fully understand your points. The required updates of 1bash sucks, I know, but we usually take care of not breaking compatibility with older config file revisions. You see we explicitly managed 1bash revision compatibility such that you can avoid touching your old 1bash as long as possible, and I think this is working quite good since we are now capable of adding new miners without any update to 1bash structure. We also changed a lot of code in order to take default decisions if nothing about that feature is configured in 1bash, and this is something that wasn't done in the original nvOC design. Now if we implement something new and this has no kind of relation to other existing feature, an update wont require you to update your 1bash.
You can see all logs, including main log, via ssh if you switch to a systemd service setup. I made this a long time ago because I was on your same point already at that time. Getting it to work has still some rough edges because it is not so widely tested, therefore it can't be considered to be easy for anyone, that's why it is not the default approach. But if you would like to try it, just follow this discussion on GitHub https://github.com/papampi/nvOC_by_fullzero_Community_Release/issues/41 and let me know how it goes.

I will, ty Luke

Hi Luke,
yes, the error message is "auto start is no"

But it isnt NO, it is YES!

and on the post from June 06,2019, 06:21:56; I did write which setup (line-numbers on notepad++) changed.


_______________________________________________________________________________ ________

I did reinstall the nvOC and use the same 1bash file like befor.
Now the miner wants start and then send the message....

[LuKePicci]

You clearly have some issues with 1bash file editing. I still think you are editing the wrong file. Please post outputs of "bash ~/NVOC/mining/nvOC report" command.

Notepad++ is a windows file editor, I guess you used it to edit the 1bash file inside the small fat partition from windows. Please note that after first boot of nvOC any further modifications to that file in that position is ignored. If you need to change your setup after first boot you need to edit ~/NVOC/mining/1bash directly instead.

[Bmoop]

I did setup on the 1bash file with Notepad++ befor first start

If I try to edit "1bash" file over the console. then I do open the 1bash-file first with "nano 1bash"
But if I search in open 1bash-file "strg+w" I get no findings, never.

For example:
nano 1bash
strg+w "eth_worker"
finding = nothing



Many thx for your help!

As soon as the miner start, in miner-log, there is its full command line which starts with "screen …". Check that the command line is constructed as expected. From what you shared, ethminer is trying to use your eth address as pool host (weird), this could only happen if something breaks the complete parameter string. Here is the ethminer prototype command line:

Code:

ethminer -P ${!xproto}://${!xaddr}${!xwallet}${!xwork}:$MINER_PWD@${!xpool}:${!xport} -U

From your settings I expect this to become:

Code:

"ethminer -P stratum+tcp://0x____address_____.rig1/xxxxxx@xxxx.com:x@eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -U"

That '@' char inside your workername looks suspicious. According to ethminer documentation that should be passed as special character (https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/blob/master/docs/POOL_EXAMPLES_ETH.md#special-characters-in-variables) Try changing your ETH_WORKER to "$WORKERNAME/xxxxxx%40xxx.com"

This MUST be into your 1bash since the report is capable of reading it correctly.

[Bmoop]

Hi Luke,

I did reinstall again and change the "@" to "%40".

The parameter string is now:
home/m1/NVOC/mining/miners/ETHMINER/latest/ethminer -P stratum+tcp:// 0x____address_____.rig1/xxxxxx%40xxxx.com:x@eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -U –cuda devices 0 1 2 3 4 5


Miner doesnt works. The error is the same like befor.

[LuKePicci]

You also need to change '/' to %2f for the same reason, give a look to the docs. Of course you don't need to reinstall, just edit 1bash from ssh with nano ~/NVOC/mining/1bash or upload the new one from your pc via scp. Please note your first attempt was for sure suffering some problems related to 1bash incorrect editing.

[Bmoop]

which "/" do you  mean? I h ave no "/" inside my setup dates. (okay, you mean between "rig1" and "xxxx". I did)

Yes, I know that I havent to reinstall new :-)
but the reason is, I cant open the 1bash file. Or if I open this file and search anything inside, I dont get a hit. This means, I cant read the 1bash file.
Its the same local on the mining machine and also over network+host.




Hi Luke, mayn thx for you help!

the miner is working. The two change special characters was the  reason. On the old version of the nvoc (V0019-2.0) doesnt make errors 

But i still cant modify the 1bash file local or over ssh. Dont know why didnt work.

Are you sure you use correct path to 1bash?

Code:

nano ~/NVOC/mining/1bash

ethminer developers changed this, it is not something which depends on nvoc, if you plug in an older ethminer version you will be fine with no special escaped character, as in the old 2.0 release.

One of My miner has a new problem: it stops working and is idling instead. Unfortunately i dont know wether it is renooting or if it stops worming all of a sudden.
