If the fan was pulling extra juice and also plugged into Port 1 or Port D it might have messed up the power going to the hub chip. Any other ports should be pretty much bulletproof.
If you plug the hub in and run 'lsusb' it should read out a Terminus FE2.1 7-port USB hub on the bus.

I wonder if that was the problem the whole time? Maybe that fan is on the bad side and drawing more current than it should?
Anyway, glad your up and running finally.

***UPDATE*** I was able to get all three miners running on the RPi4. I had to take the Arctic Breeze fan out of the GS hub for everything to work.

The word you are looking for is "power circuits" or "circuitry".
I was thinking inductors but didn't think that was right, I could've put circuit instead lol.
Not in the GS Hub, but they do work individually in the hub that was using.
I would resinstall raspbian direct from the raspberry pi foundation and then follow the instructions on this post:-
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.50968875
That's the only advice I have left to give. If it still doesn't work after that then its out of my knowledge base.

Now I'm totally at a loss. I purchased and installed GekkoScience 7 port hub and none of the miners are recognized... I was able to at least see them with the cheaper hub:
GS Hub with 3 NewPac installed:
I obviously rebooted the RPi and tried plugging the USB cable into each of the 4 USB ports on the RPi with a restart each time. I also tried restarting the RPi with just 1 miner in different ports on the hub to no avail.
Any thoughts?

Try plugging one in and getting it working then plug the other in at the other end of the hub. Try different ports on the hub. Not knowing how the power "things" <--(insert correct terminology here) are laid out then you may well be overloading it, hence they both drop out.
August 18, 2020, 05:42:07 PM
Well, try
The "--gekko-noboost" and "--gekko-lowboost" options.
And the USB 2.0 port on the Pi.
Something to do while you wait on the new GS Hub.

What miner do you have? If your using a NewPac then what Hub do you have? Sounds like your Hub may not be supplying enough power. I would doubt that the Pi would supply enough power for a stick miner. Be careful not to overload it, the Pi that is.
I have a couple of NewPac miners. I'm sorry that I didn't specify because I thought that this was the NewPac support forum and didn't realize that the 606 was also supported here.
1. Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspbian Buster
2. CGMiner 4.11.1 (download from first post)
3. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q3TYF15/
4. Powered hub 12V/4A - USB Hub 3.0
5. USB 3.0
6. Can not get 2 miners to work when placed in hub. Both miners hash fine when only one is attached. I ordered a GekkoScience Hub this past weekend and will try again once I receive it.

I agree. A standard format would be very helpful and speed up things in most cases.
August 18, 2020, 04:50:40 AM
We need a FAQ section on the first page of this thread for the common issues that arise. Or simply a format of questions that get answered so we have a good idea of the system rather than “it doesnt work, whats wrong?”.
Maybe something along the lines of:-
1). What OS are you using? Windows,Linux variant?
2). What version of cgminer are you running? Vh’s or standard?
3). What usb hub is being used?
4). Is the hub mains powered? If so what is the power/amperage rating?
5). How have you connected the hub? Usb2 or 3 port?
6). What is the specific problem you are having?
Just an idea. May help speed up the diagnosis of problems.

I got one stick running in a hub, but can't get two working properly. I was able to get one running on the hub and a second running directly from the USB port on the RPi as a test.

Oh, right. You forgot your dot slash.
./cgminer -o whatever -u whatever
That's what tells the OS that the command you're trying to run is an executable in the current directory rather than a global command.

Did you type a zero instead of a "O" (capital o) in the autogen line and it returned an error and you didn't notice, so when you typed the make line nothing got compiled?
I copied and pasted each line directly from the example given. I do get some strange stuff after the make function. The very bottom of the terminal screen shows a warning:

I'm running a Raspberry PI 4 using Rasbpian 10 (buster):

tbh - no clue but as my edit stated, it is now working fine miners performance is almost 260 gh/s higher on linux vs windows - simply amazing. On Windows the average was 730ish, on Linux it is averaging 990ish.
