Hi, folks. I haven't been mining in a while--long enough that I had to unban myself--but I ran into problems (lots of obscure Java errors) running the older version of DM I had installed. So I upgraded to the latest version (linked at the top of this thread). Now I'm getting complaints about "unparsable JSON" when I try to mine (see below).

Am I doing something obviously wrong?

[4/6/13 10:36:58 AM] ERROR: Cannot connect to bitcoinpool.com: Bitcoin returned unparsable JSON

DM is very flexible with the jSON it accepts. I suspect bitcoinpool.com is sending invalid work. DM does not yet support work without the midstate yet (its on the todo list but I've been busy with other things lately) so that could be the issue.

Use a different pool in the meantime, such as p2pool.

no - I did not meant 13.4 (there was 13.3 beta 3 last time I checked - Mar 26).
I saw somebody else mentioned problems with 12.6 +, so I tried older.
But again - the problem (probably) was that the second GPU was not described in xorg.conf

Not that it matters now - network hash speed was over 79Thash/s today Sad

farewell gpu mining Sad

thanks, I got it working - probably it was not needed to reinstall ati.12.4 driver and try to patch it for kernel 3.6.11.
I think finally the problem was misconfiguration in xorg.conf
Now I am using MATE-DESKTOP and both cards are crunching 935 Mhash/s together.
Unfortunately probably something went wrong - seems like overheating HDD controller causes to remount disks as read-only Sad

Is this OK ?

test@localhost adl3]$ ./atitweak -s
0. AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series (:0.0)
engine clock 1150MHz, memory clock 1000MHz, core voltage 1.25VDC, performance level 3, utilization 99%
fan speed 100% (4251 RPM) (user-defined)

powertune 0%
1. AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series (:0.1)
engine clock 1120MHz, memory clock 970MHz, core voltage 1.21VDC, performance level 2, utilization 98%
fan speed 48% (2122 RPM) (default)

I hope you meant 13.4. Always use the newest version of fglrx.

Hi all, after some successfull 1 GPU mining I tried 2 GPUs setup, but DiabloMiner does not recognize the second GPU.
My primary is Gigabyte 7950 now, but the secondary MSI 7850 can not be started.
I used "-D " from 0 to 21. but only "3" gives me access to my primary GPU.
It may be because I installed IntelOCL and Nvidia drivers before ATI drivers.
(Nvidia's oclDeviceQuery gives me "no nvidia" - defaulting to first platform - intel i5)
How can I force "platform" to AMD ?
How can I enable the second GPU (lspci sees it)
Thanks a lot, happy mining !
----
Fedora Core 18 x64, kernel 3.8.4, amd app 2.8, diablo probably 3 weeks old from git (but compiled on older fedora 16 - can this be a problem ?)

You're using DM wrong. -D is a list, and the default is all devices that can run OCL.

...probably something wrong AMD drivers according to "atitweak" thread.

No, it switches on failure.

I'm sorry to ask what I'm certain has been covered before, but how do I configure Diablo to switch to another pool server if the "main" one fails?
I understand that I can specify multiple pools with commas, but doesn't that mine concurrently?

Figured i'd give it a try, put each one in separately and powered it up, as well as alternating the PCI-E plugs, and always get hardware errors.
I guess this is their way of saying its over for me and GPU mining.

They've been fine during gaming, so ive no reason to believe they've had a significant failure, but clearly something isnt happy in there. Oh well, thanks for the suggestions anyway.

Run DM with -d and see which GPU is giving errors. One might actually have gone faulty. Also, are both fans functioning correctly? And are they both consistently under 85f?

I've recently started getting 100% hardware errors, and ive no idea what to do.
Ive used driver sweeper to remove the AMD drivers and reinstalled them with reboots each time, and the hw errors tally is the only thing moving.

I've been using the same settings for quite some time, but ive removed them and just used the username/password/port and still get the same thing. I have 2x 6870s and mine each individually, and both are doing the same thing.

Can anyone offer any insight as to what the cause may be?

Sounds like theres something radically wrong with your hardware. Take the video cards completely out, clean the heatsinks, and then firmly reinsert them and make the PCI-E power plugs are inserted firmly and correctly.

In case somebody needs overclocking under Linux :

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/amdovdrvctrl/code amdovdrvctrl-code
yum -y install wxGTK-devel
copy ADL(amd adl sdk) headers to ./src
make
./amdovdrvctrl-code/Release/AMDOverdriveCtrl 1050.ovdr # nice - 315Mh/s

... 1120.ovdr nice - 337Mh/s

This is what I was going to suggest to you. Its the only way to really handle this problem. I'm aware cgminer can overclock automatically, but I don't think thats the right solution.

wow - it really is faster

but I can not overclock my 7850 in linux with this miner - can I ?

Update: When I modularized the code, I forgot to readd the code that sends the miner back to the first pool every hour. Now it does.
