sudo apt-get install libudev1

This is my error output with that command:

@-Ubuntu1:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get install libudev1
[sudo] password for :

Package libudev1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libudev1' has no installation candidate

I have tried to run this beforehand:

sudo apt-get update

No luck Sad

On another note, ckolivas, I wanted to thank you for the windows version of 3.4.2. I installed it onto my HP N40L Microserver and have a tonne of block erupters running without a hitch. I only had to install Windows 7, then that WinUSB driver utility which didn't take long at all.

It detects and starts mining with the block erupters so quickly and without error. 3.4.0 used to crash every couple of days, but 3.4.2 doesn't seem to have that crash any more.

Thanks so much!

You're welcome. Actually you're on an older ubuntu. That build is for ubuntu13.04, so you'll either have to upgrade ubuntu or build it yourself. The latter option is likely going to be less work.

install ..... libudev

hey mate

Thanks for the advice

But after installing it I still get the same error.

Is there a specific version I need? Sorry, I am a linux noob.

What command should I be using to install it?

I used:

sudo apt-get install libudev-dev

It installed but cgminer still says:

./cgminer: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

sudo apt-get install libudev1

I think its working now. I don't know what I was missing in the shortcut when I first did it since now its open and mining. Just clicking the executable would just close but now that I've got the shortcut running its got 41 shares going at 334 MHashes.

The only thing now I have to find is a way to run cgminer from the taskbar like I've done for GUIMiner and how to control multiple devices when I get more bitcoin miners (one instruction book said to tell it by com ports but that was before WinUSB was the needed).

Someone have any idea why cgminer 3.4.2 closes when I enter pool login information? I think my eurupter is detected since its not giving me the your using the wrong driver error with the winUSB drivers but It just closes. I'm not sure if theres an error log to look at since it hasn't started doing anything yet.

PM me if you can give me a heads up.

I'm currently trying it on windows 7 since windows vista wouldn't let me set the shortcut commands.

Thanks

Run it from a command prompt and the window can't close. You'll get far more useful information that way.

sometimes main pool is "not submitting work fast enough" but as the pool has not failed cgminer will not switch to backup pool?

That's not a pool failure.

If you don't want that to happen then you'll need to have a pool that provides work fast enough as your primary pool.

Failover only goes to the next pool when the primary actually fails for good and for a certain amount of time.

Allright guys, Got a question I cant find an answer too, I am running latest cgminer, set up a back up pool, EEverything is good, But sometimes main pool is "not submitting work fast enough" but as the pool has not failed cgminer will not switch to backup pool?

I shall clarify this a little, When pool is "not submitting work fast enough" there are a trickle of odd shares, this prevents it from switching, and also means I am running at 0.01% of capacity, Is there an to pass work onto backup pool but keeping the first pool as active as poss?
So I am allways at 100% speed no matter what?

Let me know what other info you need. I just input details in cgminer, and went through the options (p) for the pool menu, tryed all the options, none of them seams to run both pools at the same time whilst first pool is in this state.

Can i set the order of the pools directly in the cgminer-command without moving back and forth the pools with user/pass?

java API pools

Edit: though I should have also mentioned the exact command: poolpriority (API-README)

Now i know what you spoke about. This api has to be enabled in cgminer command first. But it looks i still have to install some form of java. JDK? It tells me only that java is unknown. I run cgminer on rpi.

I hoped there is an easy way to change the order directly in commandline since then i would have a clean stat again.

1 - Reinstalled the operating system
2 - Installed all the drivers
3 - Installed any and all software
4 - Created a RESTORE POINT (IMPORTANT: Do not insert a single erupter before this point)

I wonder, would you be able to do this with a virtual machine instead? Create a VM with just Windows 7, cgminer, and the drivers installed, then save the state. Next plug in the miners and do the USB device forwarding. Then, if there's some sort of issue, just reset the virtual machine to the saved state each time. I guess the hard part would just be forwarding 181 USB devices to the virtual machine...

I actually started with VMWare workstation, but there's a small limit on the number of allowed connected USB devices to a VM, and don't even get me started on the stability issues. I can't definitively speak for the MS hypervisor but I don't expect there to be much different results as the underlying hardware support that facilitates virtualization is probably the limiting factor. For mining with many usb erupters, there's really no efficient way to virtualize this process because it does take quite a bit of CPU power and the virtualization overhead and limitations won't let you get too far. Currently without virtualization, I'm running an Intel quad i5 3.2GHz with 2GBs of ram and it's constantly at 45% CPU, and about 1.1 GB of ram, using 3 separate USB buses to run 181 erupters. I expect ~300 erupters to be the capacity for this CPU.. hope to find out in the very near term

Don`t panic! Organize!

On IRC is really nice bot that helps in cases like this, it react on .faq and answer is "READ THE F**N README" Tongue

Sorry about the dumb question but:

I was running 3.3.1 and decided to upgrade to 3.4.2, Running Ubuntu 12.04, I get this error:

./cgminer: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is there an easy way to fix this? Googled around and there were no answers that solved this for me.

Thanks in advance.

TYVM for looking into that. Hrmph. Will disable antivirus on that one system and see if it makes a difference; have AV's running on every other system on the network, so I'll take a risk for troubleshooting.

Cheers !

Got a crash report under Windows while running the 3.4.2 debug build.
cgminer.exe caused a Stack Overflow at location 74946ae6 in module mswsock.dll. Call stack: 74946AE6 mswsock.dll:74946AE6

Thanks very much for doing that. Unfortunately you're not going to like the answer. The crash is in the microsoft DLL provided and not in any of the cgminer code or any DLLs I distribute. It should not be possible for my software to make an operating system provided library crash unless there's a bug in the library. Googling around I can see a few exploits in the past for that particular DLL (so I assume some security update fixed it) and some trojans that have replaced or attached themselves to that DLL. Ironically a stack overflow is precisely the exploit described so the best I can guess is that there is an updated DLL in some software update somewhere.

Any plans to add ASICminer blade support? Brickminer did but only linux at the moment...

i'd love to have that feature for my blade. i wont need the stratum proxy running then. cgminer is running on my pi with 5 usb block errupters and a ztex quad and ztex single anyway. and i dont have to touch brickminer.

I had no idea there was demand for such a feature. I don't code features because other software has it but for my own interest in the code/feature, overwhelming user demand and sponsorship. Given I have no hardware that would use it, and the getwork protocol is not used by anything else and will not be in use by any new hardware, I don't really see a compelling reason to code up what is not a trivial feature to add, I'm afraid.

I think that people are just saying that they know you guys would do it right and would prefer one stop shopping. Right now Slush's Proxy Server is is it and Slush has been markedly missing from his pool and, to my knowledge, hasn't been providing any kind of visible support. Maybe if you guys redid Slush's software people would be happy because they know they can depend on you guys. The blades are going to be an issue for a while yet.

Right on the money... Mining proxy is only one pool and blade has only 2 pools available. But still at current price it is the best miner that you can get and you get it right now. And if you can manage it to show shares and estimated speed not kb it would be even better...

10GH/s at 4BTC and current difficulty ...

Firstly ... a history of difficulty change:

Code:

 Difficulty   Delta
11187257.46	
12153411.70   8.64%
15605632.68  28.41%
19339258.27  23.92%
21335329.11  10.32%
26162875.68  22.63%
31256960.72  19.47%
37392766.13  19.63%
50810339.04  35.88%
65750060.14  29.40%
86933017.77  32.22%

Now ignoring electricity which is far from zero ...

To get your 4BTC back:

Assuming a 20% change each difficulty (last 3 have been ~30%+)
20% = ~ 11.67 days (per diff change)
100days = ~ 3.19740339 BTC
200days = ~ 3.87131435 BTC
300days = ~ 4.01209658 BTC

Assuming a 30% change each difficulty
30% = ~ 10.77 days (per diff change)
100days = ~ 2.46186984 BTC
200days = ~ 2.67882072 BTC
300days = ~ 2.69784551 BTC

So a few things:

1) They are very likely to not break even on BTC i.e. a BTC loss - so I can't see people with blades donating to get a getwork proxy server written
2) So far for all the work I've done with AsicMiner hardware of the past months I've made ... less than 0.15 BTC ... slave labour rates do better than that, so I'm not interested in helping AsicMiner make MILLIONS of dollars by fleecing the Bitcoin community of it's BTC and ensuring almost everyone who buys AsicMiner hardware loses BTC doing that
3) That's my opinion ...
