Code:

gcc-4.8: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory

cc1plus is not in the repository. Even tried installing gcc-4.7. Same error. Also looked up the error message. Found some really old posts about adding build-essential and/or just g++. Both are installed.

It seems you have two choices. Change cuda to match th OS or change the OS to match
cuda.

The latter seems preferable to me. If the xubuntu repo has cuda you can be pretty sure
it works.

Regressing CUDA to the native 6.5 found in the Xubuntu 15.10 repo is the preferable course for me since this is a multi-purpose machine that is only minting coins when I'm not sitting in front of it. I'm not too hopeful of it working though. It just makes no sense to me that CUDA 7.5 on a Xubuntu 14.04 machine works where the native CUDA version is 5.5 but won't work on a 15.10 machine where the native version is 6.5. Will give that a try after dinner anyway and see if it makes a difference. Thanks for chiming in.

its g++

and 4.7 is very old... Wink

read the readme about fedora for the last gcc version problem (5+) but the problem is only with cuda 6.5 if i remember right

To use a specific gcc version, find this line in Makefile.am and add the related option:

nvcc_ARCH += --compiler-bindir /usr/bin/gcc-4.7 -gencode=arch=compute_52,code=\"sm_52,compute_52\"

Remember to rerun autogen.sh, configure and then make.

On the 15.10 machine I installed CUDA 7.5 from the nVidia local .deb. On the 14.04 machine I installed CUDA 7.5 from .run. Or was it the other way around? Let me check...........

No, I had it right the first time. Either way, both from nVidia.

which time the ccminer 1.7.1 will be compiled ?

thanks.

at 2:34 and 23 second (it will be available for 5 min ) don't miss it

LOL! That's some funny stuff right there. Grin

I just successfully compiled 1.7.2 on a Xubuntu 14.04 miner with CUDA 7.5 on it and it runs beautifully! I mine the Quark algo. Period. Save the comments. Whereas sp_mod was running about 11% higher hashrate on my GTX 750 Ti's, it was only getting ~70% acceptance when I mined solo. tpruvot, while 11% lower hashrate, kicks ass at 100% acceptance! ~20% ahead of the game mining solo.

Question: I can't seem to compile on a Xubuntu 15.10 box with CUDA 7.5. Getting the "can't deal with >gcc4.9" error. I do seem to have gcc-4.8 installed but it's not being seen when I compile. How do I force it?

Did you install cuda from the distro repo or from nvidia? The distro is more likely to be compatible.

yes, thanks, was using screen... but the lack of scrollback (or to find the right multiple key shortcuts) was a pain...

was about to switch to tmux... so i guess this one will help Wink

byobu can use both tmux and screen as backends ;-)

byobu is much more powerfull than screen and it is compatible.
it's like a textual windows manager.
it's one of those things you can't leave without, as soon as you pass the first 20 minutes of learning (YMMV) ;-)

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Byobu

im 'fiddling' ( ie - learning ) with it now ...

nice - and quite similar ... but it will take a little getting used to ...

seems i wont have to unlearn anything from screen either ...

tanx again pallas ...

why do you even run it in background? just use byobu and hit F6 to exit.
it will go on as normal and you'll get back just by ssh-ing in again.
multiple windows and scrollback buffers as bonus ;-)

i use screen ...

its easy to configure and runs from the command line with the same features you just mentioned ...

which is why i was trying to establish HOW he was doing the 'background' run ...

ill look into byobu - ive never heard of it ...

edit - hehehe ... and its in the fedora 23 repo ... nice ...

I'm trying to run the miner in the background on Ubuntu, but I keep getting the error, :

Code:

Cuda error in func 'skeincoin_init' at line 711 : initialization error.

The function it references is in the cuda_skeincoin.cu file and it reads:

Code:

__host__
void skeincoin_init(int thr_id)
{
                 cuda_get_arch(thr_id);
                 CUDA_SAFE_CALL(cudaMalloc(&d_found[thr_id], 2 * sizeof(uint32_t)));
}

I tried deleting the function, I tried modifying it to follow the format of the groestlcoin file, but it never works in the background. When I run it in the foreground, the program and algo run fine.

Did you try other algos?

It's odd that it would work in the foreground but not in the background but that error sometimes means the
intensity is too high. Try modifying the -i arg, I have no idea what good for skein buut try number between
14 and 24.

that all depends on what he means by foreground and background ...

if by background he means '&' - then the majority of times it will not work ... dont ask me why - i dont know mate ...

and so if by foreground he means directly in console - then of course it will work ... especially if the gui is being used ...

so i just wanted to determine which way the 'background' method is ... as you would be on the nose with the '&' way with the intensities - as the card is using gpu memory for the gui and would crash accordingly when trying to access at a higher intensity ...

so i guess the question i SHOULD be asking is - what is your commandline parameters to run background? ...
