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

[scryptr]

UPDATE TO UBUNTU 18.04--

I updated after configuring the release upgrade from the keyboard.  I then connected from remote via SSH, and repeated the steps outlined above.  The update completed without a system hangup, and then rebooted.

On reboot, nvOC did not start the miner.  I issued "nvOC start", and received this response:

       "m1@m1-desktop:~$/home/m1/NVOC/mining/nvOC start
        Restarting nvOC tasks....

        Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
        # Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:
       m1@m1-desktop:~$"

I will go into the miner directory and set up a standalone start script; but I would like to set the system straight so that it can talk to itself.  Any suggestions?       --scryptr

P.S.  -- NOTE:  When towards the end of the update, I was given an ASCII (colored text) command prompt asking what to do with the "grub" script.  I had several choices.  I could keep the original, use the new grub supplied by the package manager, merge the two or three grub scripts, open a window to edit them, and etc.

I chose to keep the original.  The SSH session continued and scrolled through all the actions until it ended.  No big errors popped up.  I rebooted at the final prompt, and the system restarted.       --scryptr

P.P.S. -- I went to the keyboard and noticed that the monitor had no display.  The monitor reported "no signal".  However, via SSH, my miner is running just fine.  Further, if I open up the webpage/API display at the miner LAN address, the information is displayed properly.  The readout reports that I am running UBUNTU 18.04.

Any clues?       --scryptr

Restore xorg with:

Code:

bash /home/m1/NVOC/mining/nvOC restore-xorg

[scryptr]

XORG WAS AT FAULT--

After issuing the command "bash /home/m1/NVOC/mining/nvOC restore-xorg", and running through a couple reboots, the system started properly.  I am able to sit at the keyboard and watch the miner, and able to reach the console via SSH.

I no longer need to issue a manual command to start the miner.  Nvidia-smi properly displays the video cards information.  And, the system is now running Ubuntu 18.04.

Thank you!       --scryptr

I keep getting **rejected 197ms "5 invalid nonce size" on my miner. Anyone encounter this issue and how to fix?

Hello

Please tell me how can I fix the gtx1080 rig crash problem with using ohgodanethlagermentpill-r2 and mining eth.  The rig crashes when running the utility.

1080ti rigs work well

Made some changes so you can use eth-pill flags
Upgrade nvOC
check new 1bash.template
or
Add this line after OhGodAnETHlargementPill="YES"  

Code:

OhGodAnETHlargementPill_OPTS=""    # Variables/Flags for ETH Pill 

And add your variables

restart miner and check ethpill guake terminal


Let me know how it goes...

This did not fix the problem .. I add settings flag "--revA 0,1,2,3,4,5,6". 
And rig crash momently how run ohgodanethlagermentpill-r2


I try run mining eth with nbminer with the memory tweek option (nbminer opt "-mt 2") . The miner don't run and asks to run as administrator rules, how to do this in NVOC?

In nbminer folder open nvoc-mjner.json edit hcd line and add sudo before nbminer command like this:

Code:

"hcd": "sudo nbminer -o ...."

See if it solve your issue

OK
I made a mistake, revert nvoc-miner.json back to its default.
Open 0miner and edit line 216
from:

Code:

  eval $LAUNCH $HCD $OPTS

to

Code:

  eval $LAUNCH sudo $HCD $OPTS

P.S: This will run all your miners with root privilege

Hello,

Just a quick question.
I was restarting the rigs after several months of inactivity and cannot really remember all the configurations.

Which script is launching the miner? (with the parameters from 1bash)
I am trying do diagnose a problem. I used to mine Eth with bminer. Now somehow my rig connects to the pool (ethermine), load the DAG for each card but shows 0 MH/s

Cheers
Luca

Solved my problem,   but still cannot find the script that is launching the miners

  Just a heads up that the Mega site down load of nvOC3.2 is corrupted and is only 2.85gigs while Google Drive is over 10 gigs. Had a long and hard fight as to why it would not boot up normal.

On your search for where the miners are launched, I have zeroed in on the Screen.rc files. As I still have issues with Python code, I have not figured it out either. Papampi is the man of the hour there. As of now, A 10head and a 4 head up and running 3.2 with all upgrades. Viva la Papampi.

And a big thanks to all of you who made NVOC happen and made it better

Hi, Mining newbie here..

I have followed the steps to image nvOC onto a drive however when I boot I get the login screen which show m1 user and guest with required passwords. I'm stuck on what to do next any advice would be greatly appreciated

It looks like a nvidia driver problem, ssh or login to tty and install nvidia-430

[WaveFront]

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade a rig by adding a RTX 3070. The rig is running a mix of GTX 1060 and RTX 1660
For some reasons the RTX 3070 is not recognised by the system.
I am running NVIDIA binary drivers 430.64 but still the RTX 3070 is not recognised

I suspect the problem is related to the diver that I am using. Is there a way to upgrade the driver version? I cannot find a way to install it on nvOC (Ubuntu 16.04)

Please help

Hi. I am trying to look ahead beyond July 2021. What will the impact of eip 1559 and ice age affect the eth mining software in nvOC? Since ice age is a forced fork of the eth blockchain, will we need to update the current miners to support that?
