Topic: CryptoSlax Linux Mining Distro - page 2. (Read 27792 times)

Too slow to download cryptoslax from main website. Getting 20 - 50 kb/s. Nice to see some mega.cz uploads alternative or the best is to have torrent file.

official website is down

might have been bios settings , waiting for rig to crash again

I booted up smos and it failed , it may not have been running from last voltage drop fliped back to default bios and booted .. i might try putting on another mining bios tomorrow and trying CS again

fat 32 was slow as hell , trying btrfs this time around

I almost totally agree with you.

+1 for YACminer, it´s a great one.

I would like some reference info about the PXE Boot, this is a killer application for medium / big farms. I found no good info about this on Slax.

PHPminer, while still in development, it´s also a great web interface.

Post your full 290 configuration please.

Linux Mining Distro is such a great idea. I setup a lot of Hyper-V clients for my customers. But we always need some physical hardware to RDP into the Hyper-V client. I like 2X OS for this, as I can set it up on an old used computer and it makes a perfect thin client desktop.

How cool would it be it this mining distro allowed RDP once setup. So I could build a thin client for my customer that gave remote access for his employee and mines coin at the same time. I don't even think the end user would notice the CPU usage as all of the work is done on the Hyper-V client. Or even better mining only starts when a remote connection is not detected.

Something to think about?

Rob

love the OS

can we also have these added ?

anyone get PXEBoot working ?
really would be nice storing configs of miners on network
I have 20+ rigs  and planing on symlinking configs based on their Ip adress / ssh fingerprint



*edit *

another thing would be is it possible to have ATI / Nvidia driver moduals ?

with the GTX  750 TI  being a good card for hashing and all

starting to think phpminer would be better


*another edit*

when ever I up my intensity past 13 the whole thing crashes apart from ssh , any idea ?

R9 290's 2560 shaders 4 gig video memory
wanted 64 bit OS to make use of more RAM

current N factor scrypt mining

cryptoslax 10 khs @ I 10 (can not even get memory clock speed to kick in )
cryptoslax 40 khs @ I 13 ( pretty sure video memory still slow )
cryptoslax ?? @ I 14+

SMOS  120 khs @ I 13
SMOS 160 khs @ I 18

using the exact same settings Intensity 18+ on SMOS fine ?

also assuming the slow speeds are from fat32 partition I will try ext3~4 next time

I'm trying to run a rig proxy from leaserig.net but it says "No such file or directory" even though the file exists. According to its developer it needs libc-dev-i386 for ubuntu. I tried to upgrade glibc on slax but no chance

Anyone can help me to run it?

and after that it will auto start after everyrestart?

You can set it to autostart by
running "chmod +x autostart-session.sh" while in the miner's directory. 
Like this:

cd opt/miners/sgminer
chmod +x autostart-session.sh

when i set pool setting and restart it will mine automatically after restart??
or i should start miner manully??

uray,

Any chance of getting s skein miner on the next version?

Did you happen to save your conf while in the cgminer window (s,w)?  if you save through the cgminer client, it saves cgminer.conf in the root/.cgminer folder or something like that.  That always overrides the mining.conf in the /opt/miner/cgminer folder.


I have my own problem though,  why can't I connect with vnc? I get an error that the connection was actively refused.

Looks as if you need some employees for support

I have R9 290s which are always working with only 1 gpu-thread (never saw someone with another setting on this card) and they never go above 60°C thanks to watercooling. But as we are speaking about temperature right now - this information never showed up with this distro because the miners are here working only with --no-adl parameter.

Thanks, it works as you said
But i also need a way to start and restart vertminer via terminal, is it possible ?
Doing this in normal way - I go login in VNC X session, then press Q on running vertminer terminal, then click on vertminer icon. Too lot actions.

UPD.
I got it how to run simple app on Xscreen, for example
So it will start xterm on xServer, but if i try to run vertminer

UPD2.
I manage to get vertminer and cgminer started from terminal by modifying startup file

But here is one caveat, vertminer/cgminer started in such way don't show GPUs temps and fan speed.

I think I know what the change was.
I removed one GPU from the test rig I was using. So with 2 GPUs I can be up and running just fine, but with 3 GPUs I get a kernel panic upon boot.
How many GPUs are you testing CryptoSlax with?

oh yeah you are right, that start.sh should be :

/opt/miners/sgminer/sgminer -c /opt/miners/sgminer/mining.conf

as for TC, i never optimize it on TC because i always use gpu-threads = 2, what GPU are you using?
some bios on card will auto downclock on higher temp, what is your temperature reading?

no, no change in drivers and linux kernel

somehow you need to run vertminer on terminal that is started inside X session, otherwhise it wont detect GPU or no GPU temperature info available, on 3.1.1 beta there are terminal session that auto executed inside X session, you can attach to this terminal and start your miner, try "screen -x xterminal" or something

Uray,
Thank you for the 0.3-beta1 update!
Did you change any drivers in the OS? Kernel update?

I was unable to run 0.3 on my AMD system to any usable form (even with the IOMMU enabled) but the beta1 solved everything. Booted right up!
I've been wanting to try CryptoSlax for a while; not I can.

Ok, TC is not related to system memory. What else could cause the memory errors at an average TC?

edit: Thx uray for all your efforts. I tried the latest version which is now working with every TC as long as it is not too low.
However, I can configure my cards with various gpu clock, memclock, TC and they ALWAYS get a max of 750kh. It even seems like the config has no impact on the speed as it doesn't matter if I clock something 100mhz higher or lower. The .conf file is loaded right as all my pools are available.

Very odd. Tried also with sgminer and cgminer-kalroth - but same behavior.

Btw: replace last line of start.sh in the sgminer-folder with "./sgminer -c mining.conf".
