MPH usually takes 5-15 minutes to show worker and hashrate

You can use this to check your miner command :

Code:
ps ax | grep miner

This was the command I was looking for.
Unfortunately it is showing me that the miner never changes ports to match what the switcher says I am now mining.
It appears to be stuck on port 20570, ZCASH:

Code:
m1@m1-desktop:~$ ps ax | grep miner
  385 ?        Ss     0:00 SCREEN -dmSL miner /home/m1/zec/zm/latest/zm_miner --server us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com --user xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx --pass x --port 20570 --time
  386 pts/27   Ssl+  53:21 /home/m1/zec/zm/latest/zm_miner --server us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com --user xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx --pass x --port 20570 --time
11073 pts/2    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto miner
32670 pts/26   Sl+  34608:17 /home/m1/cpuOPT/cpuminer -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://xmr-us-east1.nanopool.org:14444 -u 47xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx -p x -t 31
m1@m1-desktop:~$

Could the fact I am CPU mining XMR as well be causing some issues?
I also have other rigs that are not yet using the WTM switcher and are still using the MPH_Equihash switcher until my testing is complete.
Could their setup on MPH be forcing this rig to stay on Equihash switching some how? Seems very unlikely.

And this is the print from the miner but not a single coin is showing in the balance other than ZCASH:
Code:
LAST 10 AUTO SWITCHES:
Sun Feb 11 13:56:10 MST 2018 - Mining switched from ZCL to ZEN
Sun Feb 11 14:21:06 MST 2018 - Mining switched from ZEN to ZEC
Sun Feb 11 15:01:36 MST 2018 - Mining switched from ZEC to FTC
Sun Feb 11 15:07:49 MST 2018 - Mining switched from FTC to ZEC
Sun Feb 11 15:38:59 MST 2018 - Mining switched from ZEC to ZEN
Sun Feb 11 16:03:55 MST 2018 - Mining switched from ZEN to ZCL
Sun Feb 11 16:41:19 MST 2018 - Mining switched from ZCL to ZEC
Sun Feb 11 16:54:16 MST 2018 - Mining switched from ZEC to FTC
Sun Feb 11 17:03:37 MST 2018 - Mining switched from FTC to ZEC
Sun Feb 11 17:22:19 MST 2018 - Mining switched from ZEC to ZCL

Any comments on this? At this point I do not believe the switcher is actually switching, just "reporting" correctly some stuff but stuck on one coin.
I see the COIN= getting updated in 1bash when a change occurs. Is some line of code in WTM suppose to restart 1bash when a switch is expected?
Wouldn't you expect to see some balances of random coins on MPH if you were mining them?
Thanks.

I doubt that CPU mining has any impact on it as they are just two different processes running independently.

Ok, I'm just checking the basic things first. I assume you are trying to use 'SALFTER_MPH_PROFIT_SWITCHING' switcher, its logging the switches but the actual switching isn't happening?

So, you see no balance increases at all with other coins? Was it mining a single coin fine??

In the above switches, all the coins except FTC uses equihash, and MPH_SWITCH works in a way that it doesn't switch ports for every single coin, also am not sure that COIN='XXX' value doesn't change in 1bash as MPH switch doesn't bother about the COIN variable at all.

This is my understanding from my experience of using it in past.

I will try to run it with latest version, tell you if its any different from past and update you.

Actually I am trying Papampi's WTM switcher now. That's what my post above is about.
I had SALFTER's version running fine but was seeing no increase in coins vs. straight mining so I decided to try WTM instead.
The list above shows what the nvOC wtm-log shows as it switches.
So, many coin types have been "switched" to, but zero coins of those types have ever shown up in the balance sheet on MPH except for the one that appears locked.
Mining MPH_Equihash and MPH_Ethash both switched fine and mining single coins works fine.
Also, the reason I mention the COIN type changing in 1bash is I have peeked in 1bash after several supposedly coin switch (in the list) and COIN=xxxx has changed to the type now supposedly being mined.
Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me.  Smiley
To run WTM switcher the COIN= entry in 1bash does not need any special coin type, correct?
Thanks for looking at my question.

Ok Make sense now, apologies for misunderstanding.

So, I've seen many people using PAPAMPI_WTM_SWITCH without having problems, so my guess is something wrong with the configuration or some flag not enabled right or something.

I would suggest you to get a fresh 1bash of your version, go through 1 by 1 add the necessary flags and add your address, then start testing it with 3-4 coins and see if it is switching (I know its painful to watch because switching rarely happens!), but for this pick the top 3/4 coins from the WTM list and let us know what happened.

Yes COIN="XXX" variable doesn't matter i believe!

I've noticed recently Verge (Lyra2rev2 algo) XVG coin shooting up to three times the profit of other coins on WTM auto switcher by papampi so i wanted to provide this short guide to add XVG coin to nvOC.  I am using v0019-2.0, so i apologize if it's already included in the latest build.

Firstly, when you setup WTM you must uncheck the "Groestl" algo, as Verge coin allows for multiple algo mining.  WTM will only report out current profits for Groestl algo and not Lyra2rev2, which we want to mine.  If you don't uncheck Groestl algo, XVG coin will always be at the bottom of the WTM profit checking list and will never auto switch.  Once you have your WTM configured correctly, hit calculate, and follow the instructions in 1bash to add it (add in .json after coins).  Then add "XVG" to the list of coins for WTM to profit check.

Add "XVG" to list of coins for WTM to profit check (example below)
Code:
WTM_AUTO_SWITCH_COINS="ZEC;ZEN;ZCL;ETH;ETC;MONA;VTC;ZCOIN;BTG;FTC;XVG;XMR" ### coins to check profit or make the switch with format "ZEC;ETH;ETC;XMR"

Next add the following code to 1bash
Code:
# XVG ## No Need to add stratum+tcp:// to server address
XVG_WORKER="$WORKERNAME"
XVG_ADDRESS="BTC wallet address"        
XVG_POOL="lyra2v2.mine.zpool.ca"      
XVG_PORT="4533"
XVG_INTENSITY="0"

Add "-o $COIN == XVG" to this portion of code if you are using algo specific OC settings (these are my settings for GTX 1070)
Code:
# lyra2vRev2
  if [ $COIN == "MONA" -o $COIN == "VTC" -o $COIN == "XVG" ]
  then
    ALGORITHM="LYRA2REV2"
    POWERLIMIT_WATTS=130
    __CORE_OVERCLOCK=125
    MEMORY_OVERCLOCK=600
  fi

Add the following code to 0miner
Code:
if [ $COIN == "XVG" ]
then
  HCD='/home/m1/ASccminer/ccminer'
  ADDR="$XVG_ADDRESS"
  screen -dmSL miner $HCD -a lyra2v2 -o stratum+tcp://$XVG_POOL:$XVG_PORT -u $ADDR -p c=XVG -i $XVG_INTENSITY
fi

I confirmed this works on Zpool as i was generating BTC (Zpool converts mined coins to BTC).

Thanks for such nice illustration on how to add this coin, I guess it was probably already there but with different algo, am not sure though.

Your presentation is pushing me to ask you if you can write up some tutorials on how to do things on nvOC (only if you up for it)  Smiley

Let me know if you are interested.

You can contact PM me here or on our official discord channel : https://discord.gg/8YDFEvY

Just wondering, could i run nvOC 24/7 ? I tried but the /var/logs gets full.... so made it delete itself but then  / gets full in some cuda dir... only rebooting work with delete on boot.  I am using v0019-2.0. Thanks

Are you using USB? yeah those logs get full, but if they getting full that quick in less than a day then something must be wrong, becaue my RIG runs for a week nothing happens and I don't set it to delete logs on reboot too, it work just same as before the reboot.

We can perhaps set a cron job or as a feature to delete logs older than a day or so (just a thought).

Thank you so much for this.
But when the OS is booted up,
When the F12 for Quake Terminal pops up,
nothing happens.

But its alright.
Thank you so much.
I'll try again.

When i ran into the xorg reboot loop it was because bios was set to boot using integrated video card on motherboard.   I changed that setting to pcie1 and the loop stopped and xorg was restored from backup and miner has run like a champ ever since.

Thanks, I think he already managed to get IN or just my assumption, but it is better to check and try this scenario as well.

Because, it is a must thing to connect the monitor to GPU (16x slot GPU, which is closer to processor) && Make sure in BIOS you are using 'pcie1' option to disable the integrated graphics.

I have two rigs both mining ZCL on Supernova and this has happened twice that both rigs will freeze within a minute of eachother. I saw the first time while being connected via teamviewer that the server "disconnects" briefly within the miner and that watchdog will then re-start the 3main, get hung up and freeze. I assume this is what happened again. I would point to a hardware issue, but both separately going down at the same time with no telegram errors? Too much of a coincidence. I don't have any of the cards overclocked at this point, both systems were up for almost two days before the last freeze.

This keeps happening over and over again. I am going to try a new mining pool, but I've liked SuperNova. I have zero issues with it on my personal desktop with two 1070 Ti's on windows and using Awesome Miner.

Any thoughts would be great.

That's strange, what miner were you using??

If its ZM miner, it had history of issues with its fee, when it tries to mine fee with the pool (zm dev set this up), if the pool is down it crashes. Its something they need to sort.

If its happening with other miners then it is something we could investigate!

I would suggest you to stick with your suprnova pool and just switch the mining software and see how it goes.

Please let us know if you make any progress of it.

Good to know with ZM as that is what I am using! I am switching to EWBF and back to Supernova and will update in a few days. It usually doesn't run longer than that.

I wish Supernova's "Idle Worker" notification actually worked. I tested on MPH and their's actually does work. Won't be mining ZCL for much longer anyways so I'll figure it out then as if it does freeze, a notification is key.

Has anyone connected to supernova with username and password? I am struggling to mine ZEC/ZCL there.

If anyone can paste a template, I'd be really grateful.

Thanks!

No need to enter the password in the 1Bash. I use x as the default password when I created my workers

ZCL_WORKER is your worker name you entered on SuperNova
ZCL_ADDRESS is your SuperNova username

# ZCL
ZCL_WORKER="XXX"
ZCL_ADDRESS="XXX"
ZCL_POOL="zcl.suprnova.cc"
ZCL_PORT="4042"

Thanks @urnzwy.

Yep, that is the right way. Its always best to use 'x' as password and with that password and worker name no one steal anything from you, its the login password you need to keep safe and which you never need to enter any where for mining.

Thank you all for your offers, but nvOC is fully free OS and will stay that way.
There will be No dev fee ever.
You guys happiness and enjoyment is all we are looking for Wink

I just wanted to thank you and all the developers foir eveything you have done. I have been mining for just over a month now and I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate what you have done. THANKS!!!!!!



Thanks for the kind words, we started just like one of you, we will continue to do our best to make nvOC much better.

Happy to help Smiley

Hi there.

you and the team are such a champ!

thank you so much for this and 'll be sure to donate to you.

I keep getting this error on xorg.

Xorg problem detected.

Restoring Xorg.

Rebooting.


and its on loop.


why?

Need your kind help please.


Both your xorg.conf and its backup are corrupted, 3main tries to restore from backup but it fails too.
As soon as your rig started close gnome-terminal, then open guake with f12.

Run the suggested code and reboot see if it fix it or not.
Code:
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration

You can also restore default xorg.conf and xorg.conf.back by this code:

Code:
cd /home/m1/Downloads
wget -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/papampi/nvOC_by_fullzero_Community_Release/19-2.1/restore_xorg.sh
bash /home/m1/Downloads/restore_xorg.sh

You can always find the default xorg.conf Here



thanks a bunch broskis.

okay.

this is where im at.

I am newb to ubuntu/linux distro. so please forgive me.

I just edited 1bash.

Havent even gotten to 3main yet.

Im guessing thats why all these errors pops up.

Question.

Is there a manual or a step by step guidelines I could have a look?

Because Im kinda like doing things and reading and going thru the forums for answers.

lol.

Like atom. I like atom.

So i edited 1bash using atom on windows, then I mount the image using rufus to my usb (for the time being)

And I saved my 1bash (from atom -> save as -> 1bash that is in the usb)

This was a trial and error and I couldnt find any guide I could use!

lols.

anyways.

gotta get to editing 3mains that i've missed earlier from editing 1bash.


Oh, is there a way to know how many of my GPU is active?

As in, amongst 8 that I shoved in the slots, which are active and which probably needs switching slots etc etc

Is there a way to know?



I think you are in the right place and i believe that you don't need to edit 3main at all.

You need to follow the instructions provided by @papampi to get your xorg file back.


Both your xorg.conf and its backup are corrupted, 3main tries to restore from backup but it fails too.

As soon as your rig started close gnome-terminal, then open guake with f12.

Run the suggested code and reboot see if it fix it or not.

Quote
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration

You can also restore default xorg.conf and xorg.conf.back by this code:


Quote
cd /home/m1/Downloads
wget -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/papampi/nvOC_by_fullzero_Community_Release/19-2.1/restore_xorg.sh
bash /home/m1/Downloads/restore_xorg.sh

From his words, once the rig is UP, close the purple terminal (When you see a message on the right top corner stating 'PRESS F12') and then just press F12 for Guake Terminal.

Run the following command
Quote
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration

and do a restart, once the rig is UP, close the purple terminal (When you see a message on the right top corner stating 'PRESS F12') and then just press F12 for Guake Terminal.

type this command (partly answers your last question - show all the active GPU's)

One more option to identify GPU's physically which gpu mapped to which number

Quote
~/nvOC gpumap

It will run the fans to 100%, that way you can identify which GPU is mapped to 0 and which GPU is mapped to 1 etc.

Hope it answers all of your questions. Good Luck.








Thank you so much for this.
But when the OS is booted up,
When the F12 for Quake Terminal pops up,
nothing happens.

But its alright.

I'll try again.

When i ran into the xorg reboot loop it was because bios was set to boot using integrated video card on motherboard.   I changed that setting to pcie1 and the loop stopped and xorg was restored from backup and miner has run like a champ ever since.

Has anyone connected to supernova with username and password? I am struggling to mine ZEC/ZCL there.

If anyone can paste a template, I'd be really grateful.

Thanks!

No need to enter the password in the 1Bash. I use x as the default password when I created my workers

ZCL_WORKER is your worker name you entered on SuperNova
ZCL_ADDRESS is your SuperNova username

# ZCL
ZCL_WORKER="XXX"
ZCL_ADDRESS="XXX"
ZCL_POOL="zcl.suprnova.cc"
ZCL_PORT="4042"

I have two rigs both mining ZCL on Supernova and this has happened twice that both rigs will freeze within a minute of eachother. I saw the first time while being connected via teamviewer that the server "disconnects" briefly within the miner and that watchdog will then re-start the 3main, get hung up and freeze. I assume this is what happened again. I would point to a hardware issue, but both separately going down at the same time with no telegram errors? Too much of a coincidence. I don't have any of the cards overclocked at this point, both systems were up for almost two days before the last freeze.

This keeps happening over and over again. I am going to try a new mining pool, but I've liked SuperNova. I have zero issues with it on my personal desktop with two 1070 Ti's on windows and using Awesome Miner.

Any thoughts would be great.

Thank you all for your offers, but nvOC is fully free OS and will stay that way.
There will be No dev fee ever.
You guys happiness and enjoyment is all we are looking for Wink

I just wanted to thank you and all the developers foir eveything you have done. I have been mining for just over a month now and I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate what you have done. THANKS!!!!!!

MPH usually takes 5-15 minutes to show worker and hashrate

You can use this to check your miner command :

Code:
ps ax | grep miner

This was the command I was looking for.
Unfortunately it is showing me that the miner never changes ports to match what the switcher says I am now mining.
It appears to be stuck on port 20570, ZCASH:

Code:
m1@m1-desktop:~$ ps ax | grep miner
  385 ?        Ss     0:00 SCREEN -dmSL miner /home/m1/zec/zm/latest/zm_miner --server us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com --user xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx --pass x --port 20570 --time
  386 pts/27   Ssl+  53:21 /home/m1/zec/zm/latest/zm_miner --server us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com --user xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx --pass x --port 20570 --time

32670 pts/26   Sl+  34608:17 /home/m1/cpuOPT/cpuminer -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://xmr-us-east1.nanopool.org:14444 -u 47xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx -p x -t 31
m1@m1-desktop:~$

Could the fact I am CPU mining XMR as well be causing some issues?
I also have other rigs that are not yet using the WTM switcher and are still using the MPH_Equihash switcher until my testing is complete.
Could their setup on MPH be forcing this rig to stay on Equihash switching some how? Seems very unlikely.

And this is the print from the miner but not a single coin is showing in the balance other than ZCASH:
Code:
LAST 10 AUTO SWITCHES: 
Sun Feb 11 13:56:10 MST 2018 - Mining switched from ZCL to ZEN
Sun Feb 11 14:21:06 MST 2018 - Mining switched from ZEN to ZEC

Sun Feb 11 15:07:49 MST 2018 - Mining switched from FTC to ZEC
Sun Feb 11 15:38:59 MST 2018 - Mining switched from ZEC to ZEN

Sun Feb 11 17:03:37 MST 2018 - Mining switched from FTC to ZEC
Sun Feb 11 17:22:19 MST 2018 - Mining switched from ZEC to ZCL

Any comments on this? At this point I do not believe the switcher is actually switching, just "reporting" correctly some stuff but stuck on one coin.
I see the COIN= getting updated in 1bash when a change occurs. Is some line of code in WTM suppose to restart 1bash when a switch is expected?
Wouldn't you expect to see some balances of random coins on MPH if you were mining them?
Thanks.

I doubt that CPU mining has any impact on it as they are just two different processes running independently.

Ok, I'm just checking the basic things first. I assume you are trying to use 'SALFTER_MPH_PROFIT_SWITCHING' switcher, its logging the switches but the actual switching isn't happening?

So, you see no balance increases at all with other coins? Was it mining a single coin fine??

In the above switches, all the coins except FTC uses equihash, and MPH_SWITCH works in a way that it doesn't switch ports for every single coin, also am not sure that COIN='XXX' value doesn't change in 1bash as MPH switch doesn't bother about the COIN variable at all.

This is my understanding from my experience of using it in past.

I will try to run it with latest version, tell you if its any different from past and update you.

Actually I am trying Papampi's WTM switcher now. That's what my post above is about.
I had SALFTER's version running fine but was seeing no increase in coins vs. straight mining so I decided to try WTM instead.
The list above shows what the nvOC wtm-log shows as it switches.
So, many coin types have been "switched" to, but zero coins of those types have ever shown up in the balance sheet on MPH except for the one that appears locked.
Mining MPH_Equihash and MPH_Ethash both switched fine and mining single coins works fine.
Also, the reason I mention the COIN type changing in 1bash is I have peeked in 1bash after several supposedly coin switch (in the list) and COIN=xxxx has changed to the type now supposedly being mined.
Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me.  Smiley
To run WTM switcher the COIN= entry in 1bash does not need any special coin type, correct?
Thanks for looking at my question.

Bruv!
Yes yes I was doing too many things at once I thought I have told you I tried all the steps you mentioned.
Yes, again, from a noob perspective, lols,
I tried the cool bits, also wget the conf and bash em, the problem was still there.
I have managed to get it started tho.
Thank you for the links lol.
Sorry man for the trouble you go thru explaining haha.
I really appreciate it.
Thanks bud.

I’ll update more soonest

Hehe, its not just for you bruv, if someone else had similar problem we can use this as tutorial, so I wrote it as from noobs perspective.

Sorry, if i didn't understand it properly (as I was also using my brain in so many things, in fact wrote that at 2:00 AM)

Glad you fixed it finally, mind sharing how you did it?

Don't be sorry, its not at all trouble, we are here to help everyone.

You are welcome Smiley

Thank you so much for this.
But when the OS is booted up,
When the F12 for Quake Terminal pops up,
nothing happens.

But its alright.
Thank you so much.
I'll try again.

Xorg PROBLEM DETECTED

Restoring Xorg

Rebooting in 5



- problem with Xorg still persists -

I think Imma give it another download.
Perhaps there was an error while i was downloading it.


hey damNmad & papampi,
Its possible for me to install the OS in a master SSD/HDD right?
It is very unstable unless you ssh in and edit from there.

I used filezilla to transfer the ready edited 1bash into the miner.
And before i could do anything,
the above happened.

I'll try again.

Bruv, not sure you have tried all the below steps! Please give it a go. (Wrote all these basic instructions from noobs prespective)

I will try to give you the again step by step.

Given you have managed to type 'nvidia-smi' and I can see nothing wrong except the corrupted xorg file issue.

So, two ways to recover the xorg file :

Instead of typing all these commands, open the firefox browser on RIG, there is a bookmark for this page, open it, browse it till this post and simply copy paste the below commands.

Use mouse right click to copy, if you want to use keyboard shortcuts its Ctrl + Shift + C to copy and Ctrl + Shift + C to paste.


STEP 1 :


a)


Once you are on RIG, close the purple terminal and press F12, get on guake, then type the following :

Quote
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration

Then press Enter.

It may ask you for password, which is 'miner1'

b)

Reboot the system and check if it still shows the same xorg issue. You can check by typing 'nvidia-smi' command just like before.

STEP 2 :


If step 1 haven't solved the issue try this

Type this

Quote
cd /home/m1/Downloads

Press Enter


Type this

Quote

Press Enter


Type this

Quote
bash /home/m1/Downloads/restore_xorg.sh

Press Enter

Pardon me if you have already tried the above steps


If both steps failed to fix the issue, please download the file from here :

https://nvoc-mining-os.com/downloads/download-page-nvidea/

verify the check sum  and make a fresh install.


=============================================

Answering to your questions, you can flash this image into your SSD/HDD by using this adapter cable

https://www.amazon.co.uk/USB-SATA-Adapter-Cable-Drives-en-GB-SATA-USB-3-0-converter/dp/B01N2JIQR7

To copy the 1bash file you have many ways :

SSH
Teamviewer
pastebin
filezilla etc.


Hahahha!
