Try a debug build and give me the debug output of a crash please?

Builds and instructions are here:

FWIW, I've not been able to run a version of CGMiner higher than 3.3.1 for longer than 48 hours driving Erupter USB's on Windows 7 64 bit or Windows 8 64 bit. 3.4.0 just died on me across two rigs.

Any version that uses the new USB drivers eventually crashes on me with mwsock.dll causing the error under Windows Sad

Have there been other reports of this perchance ?

Yeah, same here.. same setup (Win7 64bit).. never really checked the crash/dump though to confirm that dll.

Don`t panic! Organize!
Use cgminer-nogpu for asic/usb/fpga devices and normal one for GPU mining using "-d x -d y -d z --remove disabled" switches.
For GPU you can also use my gpu+scrypt build from my skydrive (no usb/asic/fpga support).
I`m mining this way Smiley

Sometimes man, just sometimes.....
I am typing this at the command line to enumerate devices:

Code:
cgminer -d?

It shows devices with indexes 0 - 5:

Code:
[2013-08-26 17:57:27] Started cgminer 3.4.0
 [2013-08-26 17:57:30] Devices detected:
 [2013-08-26 17:57:30]   0. GPU 0: AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series (driver: opencl)
 [2013-08-26 17:57:30]   1. GPU 1: AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series (driver: opencl)
 [2013-08-26 17:57:30]   2. AMU 0 (driver: Icarus)
 [2013-08-26 17:57:30]   3 .AMU 1 (driver: Icarus)
 [2013-08-26 17:57:30]   4. AMU 2 (driver: Icarus)
 [2013-08-26 17:57:30]   5. AMU 3 (driver: Icarus)
 [2013-08-26 17:57:30] 6 devices listed

I then launch cgminer from the command line with:

Code:
cgminer -d 0 -d 1 etc. etc.

Then, I launch another instance to use the remaining 4 devices:

Code:
cgminer -d 2 -d 3 etc. etc.

When I do that, I get this output from cgminer:

Code:
Command line options set a device that doesn't exist

And this all works as expected with bfgminer.

Can anyone help please

-d command I believe is only for GPUs.  Looks like you want to separate your GPU and block erupter mining instances.  So, per the README....

instance 1: use --usb :0  (this will disable USB devices in this instance and only use your GPUs), then set your normal GPU settings (gpu engine, memclock, etc)

instance 2: use -G (this will disable all GPU devices for this instance and only use your USB devices)

is it possible to compile cgminer for/on a linksys NSLU2?

Yikes, I'm about to look into getting cgminer or something to mine all the coins that CGWatcher supports with it's profitability calculator, sounds like I'll be running into a whole world of pain if some of them require more exotic settings.  Why do I do this to myself?  Ah the fun of tinkering, he he.

Hi!
I am just updating cgminer and i have onli rejects, R=18500 in 3 hours! Working on gpu, solo mining.
Is it normal?
You're solo mining. Only a block solve would get accepted.

But in the earlier version was all good...
The scrypt and GPU mining code is unchanged now for 6 months+. Likely you have changed something else.

Solo mining with GPU?    Shocked  Did someone fall asleep for 2 years?  Huh
Unless something changed far more recent then that mining using scrypt should still be profitable. I don't mine scrypt so I don't know for sure.

I don't know for sure but if your difficulty provided by your alt-coin wallet wasn't detected properly then you would submit shares and they would be less then a block. I wouldn't think you had that many close to a block since the last version was posted. I am guessing as I have dealt with neither. Likely someone knowledgeable will have a better idea.

As far as the facts go though just watch hopefully a block level difficulty share will come up and you can see if its being rejected. Oh and check your CGMiner difficulty against if there is a source for diffictulty like blockchaininfo for bitcoins.

I've been mining alternate coins. Someone will answer my question seriously or is there only one clown?

If I could buy you a Mac to help you test I would, but thanks for this nonetheless!  I built from the latest git and it errored with:

Code:
CCLD     cgminer
ld: library not found for -lrt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [cgminer] Error 1
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
Heh Sad try again.
Perfect, that did it, and thank you!  I just sent you a very tiny bitcoin tip.  Don't even look at the value, seriously, it's so tiny (that's not sarcasm either).  But hey, good work should be recognized.
