Why does the BAMT web interface show an error when I unplug the GPU from a monitor?

__.....__ .' ':, / __ _ __ \\ | |_)) || |_))|| | | \\ || | || | || _, | status.pl ||.-(_{} | |/ ` | ,_ (;|/) \\| {}_)-,||` \\;/,,;;;;;;;,\\|//, .;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;, ,;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;,// \\;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;,// ,';;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;' 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

I find a good practice is not to have a monitor connected at all. Once you know the IP, format BAMT fresh, then just SSH in. Bamt does wonky things when you unplug the monitor.

well i have to have a monitor to tell the board where to boot to

Set the default in the BIOS.

doesn't work for me

sd card reader for now

Yeah, pick up a 2GB for like $6, it will save you some frustration.

quickly how can i transfer my configuration from one installation to another? (for example, changing usb keys)

copied batm.conf and pools and when the system starts up it just overwrites them with older versions

have your bamt.conf (and/or cgminer.conf) in text files on your computer, then when you ssh into the box,

cd /etc/bamt/
rm bamt.conf
nano bamt.conf
paste your conf into the putty window by right clicking
save

okay trying to do this

when i try rm bamt.conf it says 'Permission denied'

So you recommend just.. just waiting until your server comes back on instead of downloading it from my site?

Yes, that is what I recommend. Of course you may offer any promise you like regarding the files on your site, and that is fine, but that comes from you and not from me or the BAMT project. I can only guarantee the content of the mirrors that have official arrangements with the BAMT project, surely that makes sense. It's not that I don't appreciate you helping some people out, I just cannot take any responsibility here. While you might have only the best intentions, others may offer mirrors that do not.
Also I cannot take responsibility for the security of your website. You may have authentic images there now and some hacker may replace them with something else tonight. Checksums are great but most people ignore them unfortunately. All in all its just a headache to have uncoordinated mirrors out there.

We will move the official site to a more reliable hosting provider so it will not be an issue in the future.

Why not just post an official torrent? Then there will not be doubt of the legitimacy, it will not cost bandwidth once it's seeded, always be up, etc.

Prior to the last version, or maybe the one before, i forget, we did exactly this. Got too many complaints from people who could not (or could not figure out how to) use the torrent.

frankly i don't get paid enough to care very much, but we seem to get less whining with direct downloads and have plenty of mirrors to provide it. FWIW the mirrors were never offline, just bamter.org itself. I'll put the mirror download links in the top post and that should take care of this hopefully.

Any way to view CPU usage in BAMT?

SSH in and type top

for PuTTy what is the login name and pass for default

login user, pass live. You will need to be root to use any BAMT tools. Type sudo su to become root. This is standard linux stuff. Please PM me if you need more help so we don't add more clutter to this thread.

GREAT! jumps from 4 to 17 % usage, saw 70% one time

Your overclocking was too high.

Your GPU locked up.

In order to make the best of the situation, BAMT has disabled O/C on that GPU and rebooted.

This allowed your rig to continue mining in a situation where otherwise it would have sat there locked up. You're welcome.

Now you must reduce overclocking settings, remove the file in /live/image/BAMT/CONTROL/ACTIVE that has suspended o/c, and restart mining.

Thanks, BUT, there are NO files in that folder. Do i need to put USB stick back in another machine to delete? Throught BAMT file explorer there are no files in that folder since I deleted the gpu1noOC file gpu1 was the first core that reverted back to stock

EDIT: for the record i'm only doing a modest overclock
750mhz/250mem/1.06v

does the low memory frequency make overclock harder?

Another thing, unfortunately BAMT doesn't boot using my integrated graphics, only when using one of the GPU's. locks on a white line on the top left, not blinking though

They take payment via BTC, which is why we use them. However, they are very unreliable, even for a cheap virtual hosting place. This means the bamter.org site is sometimes offline.

If anybody knows of a better VPS/hosting solution that takes BTC, lemme know.

http://bitvps.com/ is run by a guy that knows what he is doing and takes bitcoins.

thanks, i will check them out

Web interface working again but now my core speeds are locked

most of my overclock is still set except one core is reverted back to STOCK, (1 out of 6 cores) and my config is still set to overclock

then i change all my overclock cards in bamt.conf, and save, restart mining and THEY'RE ALL locked to what they just were, same overclock and one core back to STOCK

what in tarnation?

EDIT: just restarted, now they're ALL back to stock!!!!

Downloading images from unofficial sources is not recommended. As you found with the corrupt download and 404s, they often just don't work. You also run the risk of tampering or malware infected images if you choose not to use official mirror sites.

So you recommend just.. just waiting until your server comes back on instead of downloading it from my site? We have had 100% uptime since July 2011. Since these are pretty big files, and the upload is of a limited speed, it is plausible that the download could get messed up in transit, but that can happen to any server. If it doesn't make it... Just try again.

I took the liberty to download it from my server once just now and from all your mirrors, and the MD5 hashes were all identical.

Code:

bamt_v0.5c.zip

1 - bitcointrading - 1DA3D70D0C4A1C4F44F6870772AAD26D
2 - backpack ------- 1DA3D70D0C4A1C4F44F6870772AAD26D
3 - biomancer ------ 1DA3D70D0C4A1C4F44F6870772AAD26D
4 - macdonaldbeats - 1DA3D70D0C4A1C4F44F6870772AAD26D

If someone gets a corrupt download, the issue is on their end. If the image was corrupt, you would have seen more than one person say so in the periods of bamter.org downtime. I always test files I upload.

I'm doing you and the community a favour by offering my bandwidth.

If anyone happens to be looking for the other versions of BAMT for whatever reason, here you go:

edit: I added a mirror! This is the murdercapitals server, the one that my text rpg is on, it has lots of extra bandwidth. The bitcointrading server is 1/3 of the speed of the murdercapitals server for big files like this.

http://files.murdercapitals.com/bamt/bamt_v0.4.zip MD5: 4974FAC52C0591244AA95DA237DCC451
http://www.bitcointrading.com/files/bamt_v0.4.zip MD5: 4974FAC52C0591244AA95DA237DCC451

http://files.murdercapitals.com/bamt/bamt64_v05a.zip MD5: 38D9658847F6862471CCF27C9A5CF8A8
http://www.bitcointrading.com/files/bamt64_v05a.zip MD5: 38D9658847F6862471CCF27C9A5CF8A8

I warn you though, don't ask for help for any version other than 0.5c, these images are not supported.
