in the bamt.conf, there are values to set for core and memory, are these ignored when cgminer is at the wheel?

When I was using cgminer, I removed all of those lines from my bamt.conf and did everything in cgminer.conf

I have a tiny suggestion, but would it be possible to have mother ping the first choice in the pool file when mining on a backup? It would be great to have the process automated Cheesy

quick question for ya:

got a 7970, set it up, got bamt working and it's mining right now.

sort of a noobish question, but where is the cgminer.conf file? i can see it hashing in gpumon I just don't know how to change the cgminer settings.

You can put the cgminer.conf anywhere you want.

I put mine in /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf and then put this in /etc/bamt/bamt.conf

Code:

settings:
    cgminer_opts: --config /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf

You can attach to the screen session and do most of the settings from inside cgminer and then save the config to get yourself started

Ah thanks so much! How do I attach to the screen session?

Code:

screen -r

You should read up on screen first.

I actually ended up going back to phoenix instead of cgminer. I get less rejects and a higher hash rate.

yeah I got cgminer working with ubuntu and i was disapointed with the hashrate. this is more-or-less an experiment, but it's coming along nicely!

edit: but yes, the screen -r command does wonders!

having an issue where i set the core frequency to say, 800mhz, and it says "driver reports success but see below" and it's running at 300mhz core. i'm still tinkering with it, did a coldreboot, see how it likes that.

in the bamt.conf, there are values to set for core and memory, are these ignored when cgminer is at the wheel?

Does anyone have the problem where the system keeps going down for reboot every hour or so?

Im not sure what could be causing this.

Thanks

My other rig runs fine, so I not sure whats causing this.

If your rig is spontaneously rebooting, I'd start by backing off on your overclocking a bit. It's most likely a hung GPU and the system is rebooting trying to try fix it.

What error do the logs indicate with the cron job? How are you putting it into cron? You should be using crontab -e

I really dont know wich logs to look at (I'm a linux noob). I used crontab -e.

Anyway, it works just fine to call the script(minus the call to restart) as a pre_oc_cmd in bamt.conf instead. It actually feels like a smoother way to do it.

Items flashing here available at btctrinkets.com

I broke bamt.conf on a headless rig, so I cant get back to editing it the usual way (gpumon, c) what editor can I use trough SSH and wheres the file located ?
[Edit] Found em, incase someone ends off like me:/etc/bamt/bamt.conf and the editor is called nano.

Just moved to 0.5 and now it goes into sleep/hibernate mode and suspends all activity. When I try to 'wake' it back up it freezes. Any ideas?

Hi Zubilica,

I just worked through this issue with my 17 device rig. Follow the instructions below to fix it. I'm sure lodcrappo will have a patch for us soon.

run the command: nano /opt/bamt/mgpumon
press the keys: ctrl+w
type: 4000
press enter
change the value 4000 to 8000
press the keys: ctrl+x and then y (this will leave the editor and save)
back at the command line run: killall mgpumon
then run: mgpumon /etc/bamt/mgpumon.conf &

This will fix your issue.

It works , tnx a lot .

I've scribbled together this script (/etc/bamt/ftest2.sh):

#!/bin/bash
FILE0="/live/image/BAMT/CONTROL/ACTIVE/noOCGPU0"
FILE1="/live/image/BAMT/CONTROL/ACTIVE/noOCGPU1"
FILE2="/live/image/BAMT/CONTROL/ACTIVE/noOCGPU2"
FILE3="/live/image/BAMT/CONTROL/ACTIVE/noOCGPU3"

LOGFILE=$"/etc/bamt/restartlog.log"
DATE=$(date +"%F")
TIME=$(date +"%T")

if [ -f $FILE0 ];
then
echo "File $FILE0 deleted. $DATE $TIME" >> $LOGFILE
rm $FILE0
/etc/init.d/mine restart
fi

wich works exactly as I would like it to work when I execute it manually.
However, I would like crontab to run the script every minute, but I just can't seem to get that to happen... I've looked through numerous pages exlpaining the problems with getting crontab to run bash scripts, but no luck so far. My crontab file looks like this:
...
#
# m h dom mon dow command
SHELL=/bin/bash
* * * * * /etc/bamt/ftest2.sh

Has anybody got an idea of how I can get crontab to accept my script?
Also, is there a way to only restart the specific GPU that has encountered a problem?

Changed the script to not run /etc/init.d/mine restart and call it as a pre_oc_cmd in bamt.conf instead to see how that works. Still interested in any ideas why crontab just will not accept the script though.
