KopiemTu 3.0 - ethash & equihash - NVIDIA USB linux distro

[oh_pi]

I could swear that I got genoil working on 16.04 by using the PPA for cmake from this post
http://thecryptoworld.org/how-to-compile-ethminer-on-ubuntu-14-04
I know some info is old but I know I have genoil working but I didn't document how...
Figures, I will try again and see what I find/did

Thanks!, will reflash the original Kopiemtu 3.0 image and try again with these instructions, right now it compiles, but it is not linking properly, gives me a ton of undefined crap regarding with json libraries.

will try that tomorrow and post here results, thanks for the data.

UPDATE:
I chated with Genoil and he has no idea about the linkling errors, so we are in the dark here, i am doing my best but, i am a hardware guy  my coding skills are limited hehe.

and I'm a bit busy right now...

one hint regarding monitor page - how to quickly discover that something goes wrong with GPU.
e.g.: low range temperature is zero and system load is high

system restart seems to be the unfailing solution (even syslog message propose that)
- so I'm thinking about automatic detection & restart in such case

WAIT, I think I used only the PPAs, don't do all of it, I should have specified what I tried.
I know I added the PPA for cmake, unsure about the other steps.
I also added the PPAs for ethereum/ethereum, /ethereum-dev, /ethereum-qt, and/or /cpp-ethereum, YMMV, I have it working on Linux Mint (I like the easy installs of codecs, call me lazy), something or other.
I will check to see what PPAs I have added and see if I can replicate it, primarily I want to do this on an install using Ubuntu Server (alternative iso ("mini.iso)) I prefer to install using the netywork installer, Everything is as current that way though installer is slow.
Yadda yadda, I will look to see what I can find for steps via replicating what I can

The major fear here is infinite rolling reboots. But I am also just a hardware guy, more of a hobbyist so I am learning best I can.

Not new to Ubuntu, just busy as are we all and I get where I can.

Of course I would test it some weeks before
and it's not a problem to have it as an option (only ready to activate)


could you check your .bash_history for that etminer compilation details ?

[jekecoin]

this distro will work on a 1050 ti?

[jk_14]

this distro will work on a 1050 ti?

there is no driver described on Nvidia site as supporting 1050ti yet,
eventually - I will simply release version 3.0a, if current driver won't work with 1050

[jk_14]

I made some research for best 16GB pendrive (at least for master rig, instead of SSD)
The irrevocable winner is:

"The SanDisk Extreme achieved a 4K random write speed of 2.1 MB/s which was over three times faster than the best of the rest"

(available for me at ~12$ in discount offer)

I will check by bashrc this weekend on that HDD, been busy (I know you all understand).
I am hoping I didn't compile it with double miner instead of dbundle cudaminer. Will check

I remember 27MH/s on my 1070 at ethminer under old distro.
I made some tests with Claymore 7.2 miner.

eth hashrate is 26MH/s there, and that is unchanged regardless of powerlimit, even with 85W

eth+sia -> 26MH/s + 255MH/s using powerlimit 130W

[induktor]

Hi!
I got 26 MH in ETH using kopiemtu 2.0 mod #4 @ 90W tdp (the lowest TDP possible on the 1070)

haven't had the time to try again to make work kopiemtu 3.0 , will do this weekend.

i used PPA but not all of the oh_pi (thanks for the data btw   ).

jk_14 about automatic restart, i dunno if that is a good idea, i have completely disabled monitor on kopiemtu 2.0 mod #4 because does not work, and i don't have a freeze, or miner unload in weeks!, the only weird thing i got is that some of the cards forget the TPL setting and start using more power, reconfiguring TPL again (nvidia-smi -pl xx) solves it on the fly   but still weird!, and it is always just one of the cards, and it happens after more than a week of operation, but again, more than a week!.

now i remotely reboot the rigs once a week and i have 0 problems.
GTX 1070, love at first sight!, best nvidia cards ever!.

[oh_pi]

K, so what I remember appending to .bashrc

"export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64:
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH"

Dunno if this helps

Think I added these, then ran cmake etc


also:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu xenial main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu xenial main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu xenial main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/george-edison55/cmake-3.x/ubuntu xenial main

plus the ppa's for ethereum (qt, dev)

I observed the same process of using more power, so under old distro you can also create that two files:

Code:

root@kopiemtu:~# cat powerlimit.conf
130
root@kopiemtu:~# cat /etc/cron.hourly/powerlimit
#!/bin/sh

DPL=`head -1 /root/powerlimit.conf`

/usr/bin/nvidia-smi -pl $DPL >/dev/null 2>&1

root@kopiemtu:~# chmod 755 /etc/cron.hourly/powerlimit
root@kopiemtu:~#

and that will adjust the power automatically.


I'm not sure if situation with AMD is different now, but I remember how 6x750Ti rig was maintenance-free versus 3x Radeon 7950 rig.
100 days periods without a system restart were common for 750Ti. Fortunately, 1070 is equally good.

I don't know what happened, but mine boots straight to terminal and I can't get the GUI to work .

[jk_14]

I don't know what happened, but mine boots straight to terminal and I can't get the GUI to work .

That's OK, GUI is not started by default, while is not necessary for mining,
and you may even not notice that, if you have headless rig

but if you have monitor connected, just log into text console (root/live) and type:

Code:

service lightdm start

or

Code:

systemctl enable lightdm.service
service lightdm start

the first will start GUI one time, the second sequence will start and activate it permanently

Code:

root@kopiemtu:~# cat README.txt

One-time graphical interface (as root):
service lightdm start

Permanent graphical interface (as root):
systemctl enable lightdm.service


------------
Quick setup:
------------

cd /etc/kopiemtu; ls -l
nano lbry.conf
...
mine switch|start|stop|status
monitor start|stop|status

tail -f /var/log/syslog
http://your_rig_IP/


=================================
Master setup, on SINGLE RIG ONLY!
=================================

nano /root/.master.conf
mv /root/.master.conf /root/master.conf
init 6

ssh-keygen -q -P "" -f /root/.ssh/id_rsa
scp /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub localhost:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
scp /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub w12:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
scp /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub w21:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
scp /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub w22:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
...
<until your last rig>


Verify your configuration:

mm uptime
mm "nvidia-smi | grep %"
mmnv

mmis
mmos

mmit
mmip
mmih

mmot
mmip

mm ssh

(...)

Code:

systemctl enable lightdm.service

P.S.
of course if you want to play with OC, then GUI should be activated anyway
even for headless rig, with teamviewer - for proper nvidia-settings operation. e.g.:
