MultiMiner installed and ran, but during the startup wizard, I was informed that neither bfgminer or cgminer could be automatically downloaded for ubuntu and that I should obtain them from the providers website.
The problem is the bfgminer seems to have no downloadable package available that I can unzip into the specified folder. They only provide a ppa.
I installed the ppa and bfgminer using apt, but I don't think MultiMiner can see it (how will I know if it can?), since it's not in the specified directory, it's in /usr/bin/bfgminer.
What should I do? Maybe symbolically link '.../MultiMiner-1.1.16/Miners/bfgminer/' to '/usr/bin/bfgminer'?
Thanks and sorry if I'm the only one with these issues!

Having an issue on a rig I'm just loading 1.16 on... (this one is the first 7950 rig I've tried it on)
Can't set he intensity to 20 or 19. Works fine if I set it to 13, but my 7950s need 19 or 20. Not sure if this was introduced when eliminating the spaces.
It states invalid value passed to set Intensity.
It shouldn't be anything on my side, as it does work if I use 13 in the argument.

So sorry for the confusion! I'll fix the wording. I renamed "Binary Downloads" to just "Downloads". Follow the "Downloads" link to here and then download either the regular .zip file or the Debug .zip file.
Thanks Sir!

But if the API isn't supplying data on those devices, shouldn't the app just remove them from its list automatically?
Possibly - I'll add it to my list to look at after I finish the Android app.
August 11, 2013, 07:48:38 PM
Thanks for the feedback. I actually have a to-do on my list for the next version so that you can swipe to remove old devices (like you currently can for machines). Shouldn't be too long until I get around to that.

but got "No such file or directory" for the last command.
A quick look in the zip file confirms that it's not there. Did I download the correct zip file?
The file I downloaded was from the zip link on http://nwoolls.github.io/MultiMiner/ (because I couldn't find a "Binary Downloads" link above as suggested in the instructions.
Thanks for your hardwork.

I noticed a little annoyance with MobileMinerApp:
When you select a Machine, and then navigate to the Devices, it lists every device that was ever connected to that machine, not just currently running devices. I moved all my ASICs to a different rig, but they still show in the devices window of the original machine. The Hashrates are properly reported though.

Just as a heads up.. CK's website is down, so if you are downloading this and having errors during the install, it's because it can't connect to the CGminer download site. I'm sure it will be back up soon, but just in case someone else has an issue...
Awesome thanks for the head's up. That does explain a couple of errors reported. I appreciate it!

Okay folks I'm going to pull v1.1 out of pre-release status with v1.1.16, which is available now. This includes a few minor changes, thanks to feedback from prometheuss:
Going back to working on the Android version of MobileMiner which is going very well. That should be ready in a couple of days. Happy mining!
- Trim spaces from values entered by users to prevent errors from cgminer/bfgminer
- Show the errors returned by cgminer/bfgminer if MultiMiner is unable to launch mining engine
- Show the coin name in the Process Log window

Is there any way for you to parse out a space like that that gets entered in the dialog? Why not disallow spaces in the server URL text box?
It's already done for the next version
I also have the exact errors from the miners included in the crash dialog if the miner cannot be launched successfully. So covered from both sides. August 10, 2013, 07:38:38 PM

so now after playing around for awhile ive found it ....there was space between the server and the port that cgminer didnt like at all
it seems when i typed in the server name in the host box i put a space after the server name(stratum+tcp://pool.fcpool.com) and multiminer added it to the argument
hope that helps and thanks for the help
it seems when i typed in the server name in the host box i put a space after the server name(stratum+tcp://pool.fcpool.com
Code:
cgminer --scrypt --lookup-gap 2 -I 19 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 21712 --gpu-engine 1050 --gpu-memclock 1400 --gpu-vddc 1.087 --temp-target 79 --auto-fan -T -o stratum+tcp://pool.fcpool.com :3334 -u noob.1 -p nub -d 0 -d 1 --scrypt --api-listen --api-port 4028 --api-allow W:127.0.0.1
and that why one coin was working and the other wasnt hope that helps and thanks for the help
Awesome man you rock - thanks for narrowing that down. I'll figure out the exact output from cgminer/bfgminer when that is the case and show an appropriate dialog for it in MultiMiner.
August 10, 2013, 06:37:16 PM
Regarding the second error, could I ask you to do me one more favor? Can you open a command prompt inside the cgminer folder and run the same command shown in the error? e.g.:

never ask a noob to try to break anything it just comes naturally 
Trust me I'm happy to have the feedback. I want the app to be stable for users.
The first error is not really something I can handle. I mean I guess I could put in some sort of retry logic but basically your Internet connection to the official cgminer website was broken during the download.
Regarding the second error, could I ask you to do me one more favor? Can you open a command prompt inside the cgminer folder and run the same command shown in the error? e.g.:
Code:
cgminer --scrypt etc. etc.
You can actually use CTRL+C when the error is visible to capture all the text, paste it into say Notepad.exe, and then copy out the arguments. Let me know the exact output of cgminer so I can see what is causing it to fail.
I do see that the --scrypt argument is provided twice. You do not need to put that into your settings. MultiMiner automatically provides that.
Does the app work well once you restore your settings back?
Thanks very much for the feedback. I really do appreciate it!

Wow, you're just churning things out, thank you! I loaded one rig with the 1.1.14, but haven't gotten a chance to look closely. It has been stable for a few hours. Will try to get more rigs loaded with it over the weekend.
Much appreciated!
If you are feeling frisky, put the wrong values into the wrong fields. Put in the wrong settings. Try to break it. Use the Debug zip file and CTRL+C & CTRL+V the errors here.
I've tried very much to make v1.1 a "friendlier" version. While MultiMiner was originally meant to be a bit of a power-user application for choosing which coin each-and-every device will mine, now a lot of folks are installing MultiMiner after they find MobileMiner on the iOS App Store. I want to make sure the casual user (as opposed to the computer veterans on the Bitcoin forums
) can get mining without headaches - or at least un-handled crashes. August 09, 2013, 11:14:20 PM
