Topic: BAMT - Easy persistent USB key based linux for dedicated miners/mining farms - page 14. (Read 167467 times)

we have several folks testing a 64 bit image already, unfortunately the general consensus was not good on that.
don't really want to add more to that test since i'd really like it to be over and move on to a release.

once the 0.5 image is available, we'll need lots of testers of course.  many new things, many new bugs.

Nice, need any additional testers?

Here are some screenshots of the "gpumon upgrade" that is to be included in 0.5, if we ever do decide how to release that thing.

In a nutshell, it adds basically all the extra stuff that cgminer does to phoenix (all completely optional of course).

Auto fan and GPU clock management, flexible pool failover (multiple strategies and whatnot), lots more stats to stare at, tons of settings to tweak, yadda yadda.

Lock up your machine with style... like never before.












And if that wasn't enough...

but wait, there's more...

The new autoconf tool is sort of like DHCP for entire mining configurations.  At boot the client gathers details about the GPUs it detects and listens on the network for an autoconf server.  If it hears one announce it self (or overhears another client talking to it), it will then submit the GPU details it had collected and ask the server for a configuration.
Provided the server knows enough about those GPU models to provide one, or at least has a minimal set of defaults in place, the new rig begins mining for you without ever needing to be touched by hand.  Further refinements to it's configuration can be done from a central web based console.



See the status of all your rigs in one overview
Change pools farmwide in seconds, just takes a couple clicks
Issue commands and gather responses from groups of miners in one operation (run fixer, reboot, etc)
Add much, much more in this limited time offer.


So.. lets sort this whole 32 bit vs 64 bit thing out so I can release a 0.5 image and get this party started, eh?

I actually haven't thought of that. Thanks! I'll work from the image itself

My advice:  

You also should not do that.

Seriously, there is nothing I could do to fix an ATI library failure anyway.  The best I could do is display some more pretty "Sorry, your GPU won't talk to me anymore" message instead of what you're getting now..  I can't make it actually work, its gone and apparently it doesn't come back.   So.. not going to spend time on that.  Recommend to stop plugging monitors into BAMT machines. 

Had the same problem as above yesterday.

Tracked down that error, it is occurring because the ATI ADL lib is reporting no GPU found.  That's a problem that is normally much more serious than the web interface.  I would expect it to cause mining to die entirely.

My advice: 

Don't do that.

Well.. you are definitely looking at it wrong... that error looks like this:

                     __.....__  
                   .'         ':, 
                  /  __  _  __  \\

   One of the BAMT tools has suffered a fatal error.

Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at /usr/lib/cgi-bin/status.pl line 88.

Defiled: Unable to record this travesty in the deathlog! Why?: Permission denied

Also, is there a way to script a clock/voltage/fan change at specific times?  I manually change the clocks when my roommate and I go to sleep. (out of curtesy)

I normally use SSH, but I'm not 100% in linux yet.  I have the monitor to fix my screwups in the putty.

is all i see

reproduced it twice by unplugging the monitor from a 5970.

Just started and it is working GREAT!!

Does anybody have any tips or best configurations for my 5970's? I have 3 of them.....with BAMT.

No seriously it probably shouldn't do that but why are you using a monitor w/ BAMT?  It is like putting a spoiler on a dump truck.

SSH is all you need for management and for routine monitoring you don't even need that, a web browser works just fine.

Thanks guys, I really LOLed...and everyone in the office gave the WTF lay off the drugs stare.  I didn't even know BAMT had a GUI.  Doesn't it just boot to a console?  That's what my test BAMT VM does.

LOL! WTF is a monitor?

a pastebin or other capture of the exact message would be helpful, can only guess without it.

I haven't hooked a monitor up to a bamt rig in quite some time.

A bug that I've noticed (not sure it it's related to linux)

If you plug in a monitor to a video card while bamt is running everything works fine.  But when you unplug it, the web-status-thingy-ma-jig spits out an error until it's restarted.  it's a bunch of []{}\/ and |'s with a reference to status.pl inside it.

Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks!  There are many ways to help out besides sending btc, and you've done well to take the initiative and find a way to contribute.  If everybody helped according to their own resources, no matter how large or small, we would have a much nicer system than we do today.
