Ubuntu Natty Narwhal 11.04 Mining Guide / HOWTO

[sniper_sniperson]

Did you set your display env variable?

Code:

echo export DISPLAY=:0 >> .bashrc
source .bashrc

[/quote]

Yes.

For sure miner can't be run in this state because there is no gpus in his device list. Only cpu is shown.

Ok, well, I did some testing. It seems the Natty archives are not up to date.

Anyone with a 6xxx card will have problems with this guide.   I'm looking for a fix, but as of yet I haven't found it.

[Inaba]

On ArchLinux (yes, this OS is better, just look how simple it is !) :

1. Install catalyst and amdstream from the AUR.
2. Install python2-pyopencl from the official packages and python2-jsonrpc-svn from the AUR.
3. Run your miner.

And Ubuntu is supposed to be noob-friendly ? I can't believe it ! Never mind the fact that the "Ubuntu-way" is a real pain to keep updated too.

Archlinux is quite a bit harder to install and in fact requires FAR more steps to get to the point where you can install the catalyst drivers, amdstream and python.  You even have to install X manually.

There's a place for Archlinux and it's a good distro... but as a simple to setup mining solution?  It's about as far away as you can get.  I can't believe you even posted this, it's such a complete bag of BS and an outright lie.

I fought with the problems on 5870

Well, people, is it better for the miners to switch to some dependecy free distro like Slackware yes? 

[Inaba]

That's strange, I have installed it on miners with 5870's no problem.  Hmm...

The 6xxx series is giving me a major headache though.  Definitely glad I don't have any of those as miners, they aren't supported very well yet.

Once you have it going I recommend installing AMDOverdriveCtrl and using it to underclock your memory. Down to 300 for 5xxx cards and 320 or 340 for 6xxx cards. You can also have it control your fanspeed.

Making these changes will give you a slight increase in speed AND decrease your power consumption and temperature quite noticeably.

Something is definitely up with the Natty repositories.  I tried an install last night and now I'm getting some linking errors.  I have my personal version scripted, so I know nothing has changed. 

I am going to change the guide to download the appropriate stuff manually I think, instead of installing the repo versions.  It will provide an updated fglrx anyway.

[maxcorrads]

Thank you, i used your guide to configure my miner, this guide is for Ubuntu 64bit, i've installed 32bit and the only thing i had to change was to change "x86_64" to "x86".

Please, how to install AMDOverdriveCtrl package to Ubuntu Narval?

I tried to install it from .deb package provided, but upon running it, it will show my cards (each one with 3 rows) and then will die with Segmentation fault. Prior to show any window.

Is there another Linux tool to underclock the memory?

[dpc]

Code:

sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all
Uninitialised file found, configuring.
Fail to link to fglrx-libglx.so, please check whether driver is installed correctly
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saving back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-1

don't know how to fix this, can someone help me?, have 2x6990's in a non crossfire motherboard, but already achieved in windows to got it working (3 cores bug)

I get the same error. I follow other steps, everything seems fine, but at the end my card is not listed by ./poclbm.py

[Inaba]

Did you reboot after doing aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all

What does aticonfig --lsa return?

What about lspci -v | grep ATI ?

[JorgePasada]

10. sudo tar xvfz icd-registration.tgz -C /

Just finished that step. Couldn't find the file. Searched for it and couldn't find it anywhere on the filesystem. Ideas?

What does this step even do?

Also, I'm running the default 11.04 build, 64 bit from the Ubuntu website.

git and svn aren't installed by default apparently.

. . . and my directory structure is really messed up compared to what I think the commands are meant to run with.

[Inaba]

So just to be sure, I copied the pyopencl-0.92 from a working machine to a newly installed machine that failed to compile and it worked fine.

The packages in the repository for Natty are screwed, plain and simple.  Dunno why yet.  Installing the packages manually  should solve the issue.

Could you take a look in:
ls /etc/OpenCL/vendors
there should be 2 Ati-registration files: atiocl32.icd  and atiocl64.icd
