Thank you for this! I was pulling my hair out trying to OC on 16.04.
I'm having trouble getting my ethernet to work, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. 16.04 server also didn't connect via ethernet until I tweaked a few things, but unfortunately the same tweaks aren't working for nvOC, and my usbstick is too painfully slow to want to keep troubleshooting. Wifi works no problem though.
As a token of my appreciation, I'll be mining ZEC with the default oneBash until I get a faster usbstick.

Hello, good OC. But could you integrate fan control in the system. Something like this.
You will find an extra Thermal Settings entry has been added where you can adjust GPU fan speed using the slider.

This is all very interesting to me because I currently use Windows 8.1 for my Nvidia Rig but in the past I have mined with my AMD rigs using EthOS and found it much more stable and reliable, and using much lower resources, etc - so a Linux solution for an Nvidia rig sounds great. I was considering trying the PiMP Nvidia version but when I tried that for my AMD rigs it confused the hell out of me.
Anyway, I have one big question because it doesn't seem clear to me from the small amount of info in this thread whether it will suit my rig. Reason being, my rig is currently 2 x Gigabyte gtx1070 G1 Gaming cards and 2 x Galax gtx 1060 6GB cards.
It seems from what I read above that when you set cc & mc overclock and powerlimit - this is one setting to apply to all cards on the rig. This is obviously suitable for the typical situation where people commonly use multiple instances of 1 type of card on a rig, which I understand - people choose a GPU, buy however many of them and populate the rig with them.
What about a situation like mine though, where I have 2 of one GPU and 2 of another, so I need to be able to specify different OC and powerlimits for the different cards.
Currently in Windows 8.1 I just use MSI afterburner and set each card individually, so for example I mine ZEC and the 1070s are powerlimited to around 68%, core OC to +70 and mem OC to +700, while the 1060s are powerlimited to about 75%, core OC to +50 and me OC to +500. Using EWBF this is giving me approximately 1400sol/s using 500W at the wall.
Since the powerlimit in Linux seems to be set in watts rather than percent, one setting in a percentage (70% would probably work) but I would need to be able to set the 1070s to around 125W and the 160s to around 85W. The CC could all conceivably be set to +60 and MC to +500 or +600 but is there a way to set powerlimits individually for each card?

Version v0013 is up with all member requested changes. If you only mine ZEC; unless you want to use individual overclocks for each card this update is not necessary.
Change Log:
v0013 (current release)
dummy plug is no longer required
added ccminer (both tpruvot and sp-hash)
added CUDA 8.0
updated Claymore to 9.0
installed Ubuntu updates
oneBash changes:
moved pool addresses and ports to the top section
added individual card cc and mc OC
added 1050 switch (use if you have 1050's in your rig)
added LBC, DUAL_ETC_PASC DUAL_ETC_LBC DUAL_ETH_PASC DUAL_ETH_LBC

Currently the best monitoring tool for Linux, IMHO.
What to put in the .sh script for power limit adjustment so it sticks on reboot?
When I set the PL in CLI with nvidia-smi -pl it asks for sudo
Would nvidia-settings -pl command work in a script?
And which comand to put in the script?
How did you formulate it in OneBash?
BTW: here goes my vote for xubuntu!

You have to use sudo; that is what I use expect for: to send the root password automatically in oneBash.sh.
this is the relevant section of oneBash.sh:
Quote
# set wattage for powerlimit:
if [ $POWERLIMIT == "YES" ]
then
sleep 4
#change powerlimit by changing the number after -pl to the desired wattage
expect -c 'spawn sudo nvidia-smi -pl 125
expect "*password*:"
send "miner1\r" '
sleep 4
fi

then

edid.bin trick was required for headless setup before nvidia introduced --allow-empty-initial-configuration
i also tried playing with edid.bin to fix issues with VGA resolution on remote VNC connection, no luck
if anybody managed to fix it please share
also, how to set power limit on boot-up, so I do not have to do it manually after every restart?
thanks and have a nice day everybody
edit: mr. fullzero, have you considered using Xubuntu in your next version?
It is much less memory and CPU hungry than vanilla Ubuntu which eats almost 500MB more memory compared to Xubuntu
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/5kdq92/linux_distros_ram_consumption_9_distros_compared/
I am unsing it right now on an machine with 1GB of memory and all important stuff like graphics-drivers PPA and Nvidia overclocking work like a charm.

I used expect; see http://expect.sourceforge.net/
install it; then you can use the same method I did in oneBash to set the powerlimit automatically
I could make an Xubuntu version if there is enough interest.
linux nice.
I will test 1080 and 1080 ti cards on it.
I don't need the headless fix.

Hi,
I haven't seen your modded 16.04 yet but I intend to, meanwhile here is something to replace stupid dummy requirements:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Search on google for edid.bin, I can't remember where I got mine or I've generated it...

Search on google for edid.bin, I can't remember where I got mine or I've generated it...
The only downside is that you will be limited to VGA resolution when using remote VNC connection.
Dummy plug helps with that problem.

Thank you for contributing!
Regarding the need for dummy plugs, have you tried using --allow-empty-initial-configuration in xorg.conf?

This allows me to run headless without the need for plugs of any kind.
Fellow miners,
this is the build I use with my Nvidia 1000 series rigs.
nvOC is a customized Ubuntu 16.04 build with Nvidia individual card OC and individual card powerlimit support, manual fan support, auto launching on boot, and a single easy to configure Bash Script (1bash) which can be configured from a windows pc using wordpad.
nvOC is easy-to-use (with v0017):
partially supported motherboard links:
ASUS B250 MINING EXPERT (13x gpu) Link
fully supported motherboard links:
ASRock H110 PRO BTC+ (13x gpu) Link
BIOSTAR TB250-BTC PRO (12x gpu) Link
ASRock H81 PRO BTC (6x gpu) Link
BIOSTAR TB85 (6x gpu) Link
MSI Z270-A PRO (6x gpu: 7x if you use 1x m2 adapter) Link
GIGABYTE GA-B250M-Gaming 3 (4x gpu) Link
BIOSTAR TB250-BTC (6x gpu) Link
ASUS Z270-F GAMING (7x gpu: 9x if you use 2x m2 adapters) Link
MSI Z170A GAMING M5 (7x gpu) Link
ASUS PRIME Z270-A (7x gpu: 9x if you use 2x m2 adapters) Link
GIGABYTE GA-Z270P-D3 (6x gpu) Link
ASUS PRIME H270-PLUS (6x gpu: 8x if you use 2x m2 adapters) Link
If you are using an ASUS B250 MINING EXPERT ; ensure you enable Launch CSM option in the bios before connecting the nvOC USB.
If you are using an ASRock H110 PRO BTC+ or ASRock H81 PRO BTC or BIOSTAR TB85; no changes to the bios settings are needed.
If you are using a BIOSTAR TB250-BTC PRO; ensure Mining Mode is enabled in the bios. Also ensure Max TOLUD is set to 3.5 GB in the bios.
NOTE: you must first only connect 6x GPUs, boot, make Bios changes, save and reboot, shutdown, add the other 6x GPUs, attach the USB or SSD and boot
If you are using an MSI Z270-A PRO; ensure you enable Above 4G memory option in the bios before connecting the nvOC USB.
If you are using a GIGABYTE GA-B250M-Gaming 3; ensure the Audio Controller is disabled in the bios.
