I am at my wits end trying to get this to boot. I have managed to get it to boot a couple of times, but each time it does it freezes after failing to connect to EWBF(as I currently do not have a connection set up, I need to make some changes to make my wifi dongle work but cannot do this due to the issues) - following restarting it results in a kernel error. About 95% of the time after reflashing to attempt again it doesn't boot and I just get a blank screen after it attempts to boot into Ubuntu (no loading screen).

This happens with both OC and non-OC. Mostly attempting to get this to work on default settings moving forward.

I am using a MSI z170a SLI and 2x GTX 1060's (6gb) with a DVI monitor. Using a SanDisk Extreme 64GB USB stick.
Above 4G decoding is enabled and BIOS has been flashed to the latest 3.A version (issue occured before the flash too).

Has anyone encountered similar problems?

this could be true.  maybe op will look into it.


I purchased a higher end 32gb stick  will test it soon.

these below have been good

I had a miner stop over night but it has the highest clocks  so I restarted it but I think I will back off on the clocks.

Nvidia cuda update. Up to 15% increase hashrate on 1060s

31MH/S on 1060 !!!

I was able to make it running with 3 cards so far, now waiting for 2nd PSU and add the other 3 missing ones, I read dmsg and it was failing a few times with the error "GPU at 0000:03:00.0 has fallen out of bus", couple of reboots and it worked, I noticed a few errors when mining DCR, I needed to add to oneBash file a couple of exports in order to make some errors disappear:

export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT="100"
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS="1"

but DCR still is having some nonce errors and not actually mining anything

Another thing I notice it's a typo in the DGB (written DBG in one variable) in the oneBash file, didn't try to mine DGB but it might give problems

Anybody managed to make 2 m.2 adapters work on this ?
I have v0016 on a msi 170A gaming M5 and it works fine with 8 GPU (7 pci slots + 1 m.2 adapter ) . If I add the second adapter ... that GPU is not recognized .
Anything else I need to setup in Bios or Linux ?
I updated Bios and enabled encoding .

Thanks!

EDIT : Tried on 2 rigs and same issue . The adapter works as I put 2 from working rigs .
The one that is working is the one nearest to the CPU

Yep

I have more than 10+ rigs
I made some changes in to file oneBash


#!/bin/bash

HOSTNAME=$(cat /etc/hostname)
worker=$(echo ${HOSTNAME:0:2})

# nvOC v0016 by fullzero
#
#==================
#
# set YOUR ADDRESSES, WORKERS, POOL and PORT:
ZEC_WORKER=$worker
#
#==================
#
ZCL_WORKER=$worker
#
#==================
#
ZEN_WORKER=$worker"
#
#==================
#
VTC_WORKER=$worker"
#
#==================
#
NICE_WORKER=$worker
#
#==================
#
LBC_WORKER=$worker"
#

etc

These changes allow to bind hostname to workers.
In order it to work, you need to change 2 files 'hostname' and 'hosts'


/etc/hosts
#
127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       m5-desktop


/etc/hostname
#
m5-desktop



The resulte of this changes, on LBC expamle:

/home/m1/SPccminer/ccminer -a lbry -o stratum+tcp://lbry.suprnova.cc:6256 -u fullzero22.m5 -p x


PS: Fullzero, thanks for your work, it is an amazing project!!!

Thanks for your reply

I'm using 6GB 1060s.

What settings would you suggest?

I'm currently on

Core Clock  - 100
Mem Clock  - 800
Power Limit - 110 Watt

I'm getting
160 MH (20.xx per card) on average (6 hours) 1620 MH for PASC on average (6 hours) for 8 cards (definitely increased from my previous hash rate, thanks for that)

Any suggestions/improvements would be really appreciated.

So that will help me update oneBash on all rigs at once?

go to web site https://pastebin.com/ and create paste

edit "2unix" file on every mining rig    (nano  /home/m1/2unix)
paste this line: (see raw link on your pastebin service)

#!/bin/bash

cd /tmp
wget https://pastebin.com/raw/JkzeVvZS (change_this)
cp JkzeVvZS(change_this) /home/m1/oneBash

sudo dos2unix /home/m1/oneBash
sleep 2
sudo ldconfig /usr/local/cuda/lib64
bash '/home/m1/oneBash'

and reboot your rig

ps: sorry, my english is bad (

For risers you can try this source https://www.banggood.com/USB-3_0-PCI-E-1x-to-16x-Extension-Cable-Powered-Extender-Riser-SATA-Adapter-Card-p-1136556.html, or this model, in stock (not tested): https://www.banggood.com/0_4m-USB-3_0-PCI-E-Express-1x-To-16x-Extension-Cable-Extender-Riser-Card-Adapter-p-1155470.html
Have had no failures but it's advisable to order 1-2 more than needed.

Is there a way to set a rig to automatically reboot if there's a GPU hang? Like the Claymore has the Watchdog option along with a -r command to run a reboot.sh script?

EDIT: Also, is there a way for remote controlling all rigs on nvOC? Like if I update oneBash to update it on all rigs at the same time?

Quite a newbie with Linux

on some rigs mining with the cpu/xmr    the cpu mining drops connection


the gpus are mining zec and continue to work.


so I stopped mining xmr on 3 of four rigs

I have the same issue.

Zero,

Understood with regard to card titles.  Looking through oneBash I saw some logic that appeared predicated upon the title and took a guess without testing it.  I normally use HDMI for everything but have an OOOOOLD VGA/DVI only monitor mounted above my test rack. Will test out with a more current monitor and report back my results.

Looking forward to testing the 375 driver when you're ready to release!

Agreed on Windows vs Linux mining.  I've observed greater stability in Linux.  However, comparing a fresh Ubuntu install to nvOC, I still observe a 3+ MHS difference per card per node.  Using nvOC is like taking a card out of every one of my nodes.  I'm continuing to investigate, b/c this is a great offering.  Only other things I've noticed so far: 1) the xorg.conf on both my test machines lists the cards as 1050s instead of 1060s.  Also, my multi GPU test node seems to have a problem with any windows on the console showing up off monitor.  My working hypothesis is that it's b/c I plugged in a DVI monitor rather than HDMI but that seems pretty thin to me.  Anyone else run into that issue?  Google searches so far have not been fruitful.

Got this error as well once, it was from a bad format of the USB and therefore was not bootable. Try re-imaging the flash drive using HDDRawcopy.

From most data sets you will get slighly better hashrate from Windows still, even some 1070's I have seen pushing 31-33 while on Ubuntu I have only gotten 29-31. The biggest advantage though I will say is stability, Ubuntu has shown more constant and stable hashrate by far then any Windows PC (this is beyond the Win 10 auto update on home edition)

I am trying to start using your operating system. Unfortunately I am not able to properly start it.

Let me begin by joining the chorus of miners praising this effort.  I spent a week working towards the same goal before finding this thread.  I think you've probably saved me a month of evenings developing something similar.  Sending some hashes your way as I test!

I'm using an msi z170a m5 with 4 Asus GTX 1060 6G GPUs on an 850w PSU.  I'm also running a single gtx 1060 on a muuuuch older board Asus p5n-d (yes that old) and nvOC still works like a charm.

One thing I've noticed with nvOC versus my own Linux install is that I can't seem to get the same hashrate in nvOC.  Even if I set the pl to 140 for the card, push memory all the way to 2000 and the GPU clock offset to 130, I can't break 21 MHS in nvOC.  Comparatively, if I just load Ubuntu 16.04 with xorg, gnome and latest drivers with Claymore dual mining ETH and SC, I can sustain 23 MHS for days.  Same if I put a card on my Win10 box and use MSI Afterburner to contro OC there.  I've tried throwing configurations at my nvOC node manually with nvidia-settings -a and it just doesn't seem to get beyond 20 MHS.  I can open the nvidia control panel and verify all the settings took.  The only difference I can find so far between nvOC and my own build is that I was still using 375.66 version of the driver and nvOC appears to be using 378.13.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestion of what else I could try?  I'd love to switch all my gear to this but right now I'm getting better hash rates out of a 1060 in win10 and 1060s on Ubuntu not using nvOC.  And across multiple 8 GPU rigs, the delta adds up.

Thanks!
