thank you very much for sharing this, I checked every commits made on install/upgrade scripts but I cannot find the problem, so I'm thinking about a bad "git pull" or something like that which placed bad chars on them.
Hope it doesn't happen anymore.
thanks
Don't sweat it. Like I said I had hastily deployed minera to a pre-existing system so who knows where the problem came into play.
I duplicated the SD card and edited the sudoers file on the original to remove the offending -e, but then the Pi failed to boot fully. Who knows why - maybe macfuse borked the filesystem. Dupe of the original SD still boots fine.
I didn't have time (and/or was too drunk to code) last night so I didn't build a system from scratch yet - and at this point since it's still happily mining I may just wait until you release img files.
If you're unfamiliar with it, apple pi baker is a great tool for making and deploying properly partitioned img files for the raspberry pi:

Anyway I very much appreciate you looking through old commits - your software is great and even if it had been your error - you wrote free software that helps make me money, what complaint could I possibly have. Expect a donation once I reach ROI in a week or two.
Well, Minera 0.1.8 is out
What's next: I finally have a RPi to start build Minera images (pretty exciting), but I still have to put Json config and start/stop daemon.
One question for you all:
What do you think about you will not be able anymore to "screen -r" into cpuminer from Minera? This is because there is some issues playing with screen sessions and daemontools/supervisor, so if we opt in for one of those daemon tools we have to leave the screen solution.
But before doing this I would like to hear your opinion or may be if you have some solutions to run screen with a daemon tool. (The problem I saw is that you can run the screen session within the minerd command, but you cannot quit it, and this is the main problem).
I didn't try this too much, but looking around the web it seems a common problem, so please let know what do you think about this.
Thanks
I mean, this might be overly basic but you've tried
screen -dmS miner [command]
Im not familiar with daemontools but when I was writing daemons for launchd on the mac this would detach the screen session from the daemon so it would run when the daemon quits. This was a while ago on a different flavor of *nix so, not sure if that helps at all.
Personally, I wouldn't be too busted up about not being able to screen -r into the miner as long as there are some logs to review in the event of troubleshooting.
The entire reason I'm using minera is so that I don't HAVE to screen -r into the miner - which is how I was operating before just using cpuminer-gc3355 and a basic startup script.
If the last 'n' lines of miner output were available in a log file somewhere it would satisfy my needs at least, where 'n' is an arbitrary amount of logging that goes far back enough to enable troubleshooting but doesn't just fill up the disk ad infinitum
FOR BONUS POINTSIt would be really sleek if you could download the available logs, maybe even as a zip file, from somewhere within the minera interface. Far from a requirement, also I feel like the interface might not be working in the hypothetical situation where I need to get at the logs - but still. I think that would be a worthy tradeoff for losing screen TUI access. I just noticed you added a log viewer already, which is basically even better. I can't upgrade till I fix my sudoers issue but when I do I'll let you know if that has the logs i'm referring to.
