PiMP OS is the fastest and easiest way to mine ALL crypto currencies!

Farmview does not work too. And 1.4.2 has connection problems on boot sometimes, slow interface... Have to stick with SMOS till some stable release.

And 1.4.2 ......., slow interface.............

Cause the banner code in status.pl
It pools adv pics from the outsource every time you update the page
Just 'nano' it a bit..

[espressodelisi]

I need to disable the autologin, how can I do that? I do not want a root GUI open all the time. I need the GUI to stay at a login screen. How?


or is there a setting or package to install to lock the desktop right after system starts? xscreensaver or anything?

[kobaya74]

Shall try 1.4.2 on 2-3 miners. Sorted connection problems, found solution on forums. Also after some time pool manager stops to lag and is very reasonable, and farmview is working too. Didn't know problem is in banner, shall delete it when I find time. But question is: why did we receive update for 1.5.5 that says it fix things when it does not? Anyway, I like it on first sight and shall try it, with hope 1.5.5 will be polished in few days. I like thought every miner I had to install manually in SMOS/BAMT, here I receive with simply "pimpupdate". Good work, if I find it usefull after 7-10 days, shall donate to contribute to project.

And why would you need such an option, when PIMP/SMOS/BAMT are made to work best in headless mode? Make good root password, so no one can log to miners remotely and you are good. I am sure you would have serious problems in running miners while logged off.

Have been using PiMP to mine DRK on my little ole Asus 7870 for about a week straight now without incident.

My mining rig is running in a datacenter, away from me and I do not want a curious datacenter personnel to attach a monitor and see an unlocked root desktop. it's a security risk.

anyway, I've solved that problem. The miner needs logged in desktop to run, so I've installed xautolocak and slock packages from debian repos and added these two lines in /root/.fluxbox/startup file:

xautolock –time 1 –locker slock &
su root -c slock

Now the rig boots and immediately locked, when I attach a monitor all I see a blank screen. This is enough security. I need to enter root password from keyboard to see the desktop.

Hi, I hope someone can help,

I've been running PiMP 1.5.5 14.4 for a couple of days now, mining X11, and most things seem great, except for a couple of issues.

I'm seeing a huge number under the "Discarded" value on the pool stats screen, and this number is constantly growing.  I don't know what this means, and it's a bit worrying.  I'm confused though, as everything else seems fine, the pool I'm mining at is registering my hashrate, my balances on my miner stats page there are growing, I got paid this morning, I have no HW errors and my rejects are low.

So what could that number mean, and do I need to worry about it?

Here's the screenshot:



The second issue is relatively minor, my graphs aren't updating, and it's been over 24 hours, are they bugged, or do I need to do anything?

Many thanks!

Thanks @ all Pimp devs, everything is working like a charm !

One question, I have multiple rigs all connected to the same network, but the farm option doesn't show up, if there's something to change in options to manage all rigs within the same page ?

Never noticed that for more than 2 weeks of using PIMP, but its same here. But because everything is OK I think that are stales or work discarded due expire. As for the graphs - I never had this issue, did You try to restart rig? 2 minutes of downtime is not big deal, until You want to make record

Hi guys,

Sling00 here from the pimp dev team..

To answer some of your questions:

1.5.5 & bootmining:

Well, crontab caught us in a catch22, as such we are moving away from crontab for controlling miner startup.

Graphing issue: known issue but does not affect all machines, again 99% related to crontab, this is also moving to a daemon.

Farmview: x11mod miner breaks farmview. so farmview probably will not work properly when using these profiles, and possibly some newer builds of sgminer.

Never fear though, something much better for farm overview is coming soon (~1 week) and a pimpupdate will replace farmview and install the new solution for you

I don't get on here alot and post, however if you have any questions needing a quick response come join us on IRC. Freenode #pimp is the best way to get ahold of most of us.

Thanks for your continued support!

Great work so far. Any chance of adding Blake256?

Yes, coming in the coming point release and will be available via pimpupdate as well

[zyebu]

how upgrade ati driver to 14.6 version?

[kobaya74]

  I put "mine start" in /etc/X11/Xsession.d and it solved my problems with mining autostart. Haven't been able to resolve some substitution for farmview, but since you say new one will be available in 1 week, I shall wait for that solution. Cheers.

[lynxchat1]

in what file you put "mine start"??  i'm trying but not work.

So... PIMP Great for GPU...

BUT put 2 x G-Blades on to test - they are there in #~ lsub

BUT Seedmanager (cgminer-4.3-gridseed) does not detect them - checkconf /opt/ifmi/blah blah.conf returns "ok" but no go.

Running cgminer --benchmark bombs out...

Can anyone post a working blade conf file for me to play with?

PiMP is Copyrighted - Accept No Imitations" (AKA: You cannot release your own clones of PiMP. This is not GPL License. Don't steal our work, contribute to it instead - Thanks!)

The Free Software Foundation says otherwise.  Nice Linux Distro...hey LINUX is GPL.  And you are including more GPL software you didn't write.  You can't slap a copyright on a bunch of GPL code you didn't develop.  I find your stuff useful, but seriously it's open source, you should play by the open source rules.

PIMP Seedmanager (cgminer-4.3-gridseed) - Gridseed Blade Conf File Anyone?

Have played but to no avail - will not see the devices... miner will not start...

I make new file with txt editor, called for example 100x11-mine_start. Into that file write only plain "mine start" (no "" ofc). make file executabile (chmod 755 "file name"). 100 in name is order for command to run (last one is 99x if you look at folder). That means 100x shall be last to execute. Working so far for me. When you try to remote desktop, you will get screen with white terminal. Write "exit" in terminal and you get remote desktop.
