I'm wondering if someone can help me.

I'm attempting to install cgminer on a Rasberry pi 4 to ultimately control an GekkoScience NEWPAC or two.

In following the instructions on page 1, when I enter the line "git clone -b r606 https://github.com/vthoang/cgminer.git" and try to execute it I get an error message saying that it dose not exist.

I've looked at that directory on github and I see that ie dose exist so I'm a bit confused as to what I'm doing wrong.

I'm a newbie and started to mine using the GekkoScience NewPac. The most I have used is at 200Mhz via Solo pool.
I run it on its own 2amp power supply USB hub and have a dedicated cooling fan on it. Can I run it at 300Mhz?? On the table on the first page, all frequencies above 200Mhz are greyed out. Huh

Thank you
Abulig.

I run 492mhz and get over 100 gh/s on coiminerz.com just fine but with a good fan 24/7.

Please don't suggest to run cgminer as root. All that's needed is to copy the udev rules across.

See Q&A section from first post:

Q. How to get past "USB init, open device failed" ... "you don't have privilege to access" error.

Code:

cd ~/git/vthoang/cgminer/
sudo usermod -G plugdev -a `whoami`
sudo cp 01-cgminer.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo reboot

Think for yourself

I think you have to put "sudo" in front of the ./cgminer.

Anything over stock freq is not guaranteed and will void and warranty. If you have good active cooling then up the freq as much as you dare. I hit 650m with my 6 sticks and ran for 18months without problems.

If the cgminer binary is not there - and you are in the directory where it has been built when running ./cgminer - it means that the compilation did not succeed.

Check for errors in the output of the build process. You can always re-run make, which should help to pinpoint the issue, as it will bail out at the very same step again. Most probably a needed package is missing.

Im having problems setting up cgminer on Ubuntu 20.10. I want to have it setup to mine pool.

The .10 version may be the issue. Here's a past post on that version

Anyone got this to compile on Ubuntu 20.10? I get errors.

Copied and pasted from 1st post.

I haven't tried 20.10. Others have tried other versions of the .10 beta's and have had trouble. I would probably try the 20.04 LTS. Or switch to a Pi 4, which is what most of us did.

Quote from: sudzbud on February 10, 2021, 11:25:35 PM

Yep, got it to build on 20.04, THANKS for the advice!

Put a space between the the cgminer and -o. So "./cgminer -o".

You said you were mining dogecoin??

P.S. Not sure why the cropped quote I did wasn't right. I only quoted the bit I was referring to Roll Eyes

Im having problems setting up cgminer on Ubuntu 20.10. I want to have it setup to mine pool.

I have gone through the steps as show on the forum:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git autoconf automake libtool pkg-config zlib1g-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev

mkdir -p mining/newpac; cd mining/newpac
git clone -b r606 https://github.com/vthoang/cgminer.git
cd cgminer

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native" ./autogen.sh --enable-gekko
make -j 2

I then put:

Code:

cd ~/mining/newpac/cgminer
./cgminer-o pool - u -p --suggest-diff 32 --gekko-newpac-freq 100

And get the message:

Code:

bash: ./cgminer-o: No such file or directory

Any help is appreciated!

if you have put "haha" in your worker password on the pool then that's what it should be on your .bat file. Try changing that first and see what happens.

Also you are aware that Dogecoin is Scrypt and NOT SHA256. Gekkoscience products only mine SHA256 algos.

Also are you sure it's a NewPac and not a 2Pac?

This is definitely not normal behaviour. But you need to provide more details if you want to get support for your issue.

Windows or Linux?
Using desktop/laptop/RaspberryPi as cgminer host?
Fan pointing at the stick's cooler?

Also please share the the output of

Code:

cgminer -n

And, probably most important, did you follow all the steps as listed in the first post of this thread?

Is the stick being cooled by a fan?
