Topic: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI - page 3. (Read 102903 times)

so has anyone completed the full tutorial yet?

I have this same error and can't solve it.

I'm using Ubuntu Server 10.04 32-bit with a single 5970.

'env' shows: (output trimmed)


I have also added the library path to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/OpenCL.conf (creating a new file), and run 'sudo ldconfig -v' (my own ideas).  Up until I did this CLInfo would give a missing library error.

'ldd CLInfo' shows:


'fglrxinfo' shows:


'strace ./CLInfo' shows a lot of output.  I notice a lot of failed attempts to open something called libGLU.so.1, followed by failed attempts to open libatiocl64.so:


...a 64-bit library on a 32-bit OS?...hmm...

Thanks for any help given.

Edit: Looking further up in the strace output:


It also went for the 64-bit flavor of that file.

I only installed the 32-bit edition by mistake and am getting ready to reinstall using the 64-bit edition, once it finishes downloading.  Hopefully that will solve my issue.

Edit 2: Looking more, I now see that it first opened /etc/OpenCL/vendors/atiocl32.icd, and /opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/lib/x86/libatiocl32.so, followed by /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 and /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1, all successfully.  Then, only after failing to open libGLU.so.1 does it appear to try to "fall back" to the 64-bit stuff...

Thanks for the useful information here.. I'm expecting my 5850 to arrive this week and have a couple of other questions that don't seem to be covered here:

- Is there a performance difference between using the 32 and 64 bit distributions of Ubuntu?
- Any reason this wouldn't work with Ubuntu server edition?
- Do you know of any good tutorials on adjusting the ATI card clock, voltage, memory clock, etc?


thanks!

The other question I have is that if I buy a newer card e.g. a  a 6800, 6900 series will I need to change much? e.g. do I have to uninstall and reinstall the drive and run aticonfig again?

Thanks Mahkul.  Phew I was about to pave the thing and put BackTrack Linux on as I downloaded the Torrent last night. Still might play with it on a new machine though.

The kilohash reading didn't look half as impressive as the megahash readings people give but it looks like you just divide by 1000 or put the decimal place before the last three digits.
Can I get the client program to do this for me?

Also I worked out how to get my gputemp:

aticonfig --odgt

Default Adapter - ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
                  Sensor 0: Temperature - 58.00 C

Shame I didn't try doing all of this last year!

Hm, seems like you're getting 133Mhash/s and 171Mhash/s with switches. What's the problem?

Hi guys,

I am having trouble getting a decent hash rate with my XFX HD5770 850M PCIe/1GB

Should be over 100mhash/s according to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

Does anyone have any ideas or more questions that may help me?

I have tried to include as much information as possible. I am running Kubuntu  x64 11.04 and the other specifics are included below.

Most of this assumes the problem is software. I will include my hardware details if we can rule out software.

Thank you

I wrote a guide on how to get your cards mining via backtrack linux. Would be exactly the same as ubuntu I'll link it here it may help some people out. 

http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/backtrack-howtos/39969-how-gpu-bitcoin-mine-backtrack-4-your-hardware-could-now-pay-rent.html

Its a complete guide with a patch for fglrx for kernels > 2.6.38.

Hope this helps you out and for the recorc v2.4 is fine with bitcoin mining I'm getting 267MH/s using phoenix with AMD APP v2.4 with a xfx 5830

This always looks like that.

Is there a chance some good guy to make an installer script for 2.4 SDK?

I'm running into a small problem running CLInfo on ubuntu 10.10 server with a full desktop using SDK 2.1. When I run ./CLInfo I get


Rather than my GPU which is a mobile 5870.

Make sure that you installed suitable drivers.
Show results of
$ fglrxinfo

yes, with sudo.
/etc/OpenCL/vendors/
with
atiocl32.icd  atiocl64.icd
=(

did you unzip icd-registration.tgz to /?

I put an error in v2.4!
now
is correct.
but
not found again...

now I get this:

yeah...
I will reinstall ubuntu...

UPDATE
Sorry, my configurations:
Ubuntu 10.10
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650

Do you have 5xxx card or 6xxx? If the former, 2.1 is no brainer. If the latter, from what I heard, 2.1 does not work and one must use 2.3 or above. I tested my 5xxx with 2.3 and it works, albeit slower than 2.1 but 2.3 works with these instructions.

It's ./CLInfo not ./clinfo

Unless you were just lazy in your post.

ok, I found clinfo in "/opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/samples/opencl/bin/x86_64", but


did not work too...
I will try v2.1...

The guide was written for SDK 2.1 which is still the best choice for 5xxx cards. I don't have 2.4 but apparently AMD renamed some dirs and moved some programs.

The library path is AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/lib/x86_64 and clinfo (with small letters) is in AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/bin/x86_64

But if you want to continue with SDK 2.4, you are on your own because I didn't test it on this version.

ok, I used sdk 2.4, but
will not link?
because I did not see in "/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.4-lnx64/lib/x86_64/" the folder "CLInfo" or something like this...

UPDATE:
I really need v 2.1? How I delete v 2.4?
