I have a question about Linux usage: once you have connected via SSH, how do you get the output of cgminer (or any other running process, for that matter)?

IS there a benefit of using nogpu.exe vs no gpu in config file?
It just doesn't have the gpu code built into it so you don't need opencl installed (opencl.dll required etc). Otherwise it behaves the same.

Sadly it's crashing the 17 lancelot instance every 10 minutes

cgminer.exe caused an Access Violation at location 0045b0b9 in module cgminer.exe Reading from location 1b30d66a.
That's not a debug build so that is useless as well I'm afraid.

About 5-10% better still over 60%
Well I don't think that's the cause then if it's only 5%. We'll investigate further.

I've found a place where a fair amount of cpu usage might be lost. You might want to try the new binaries I uploaded again here that try to kerb that:

Heh, that's more like it Smiley

Yes reliably. Will post tomorrow. It gets tiresome using rdp on my phone.
No rush. We greatly appreciate the debugging but take your time. This is the unfortunate cost of such heavy development, and we're heavily dependent on users testing scenarios we can't reproduce ourselves.
Darn, there's not really anything useful in that debug output.

EDIT: Now I get it. Well I did some testings and I can get about 4% more if I set up to 10 and 12. And that is missing at the moment... As far as I know 8 and 9 were limits in older versions...

There aren't really any limits per version of CGMiner, except where it tops out at which I think is 14.  But the limit is per GPU type.  9 is about the max that gets you the best performance.  But I have 5xxx series GPU's so 8 or 9 is the highest which is best for those.  If you have newer GPU's then maybe you can go higher.  I would recommend keeping an eye on your U: and HW errors though.

Again the FAQ in the top post explains allot of this.

ASIC-README says to use the file 01-cgminer.rules, but this file is not found in the built 64bit Linux archive:  http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-3.2.0-x86_64-built.tar.bz2

I see I can get it from git:  https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/01-cgminer.rules

But, am I missing something obvious (again) or should the file be in that archive?

EDIT: I would like to setup some cards to 10 and some to 12. Is there a limit on total intensity?

If your Bitcoin mining then 8 or 9 is the highest you should go.  Check the top post and the FAQ.

But you should be able to set your intensity individually per GPU since different GPU's work better with different intensities sometimes.
Sam
I don't understand what you are saying in first part of a post and I know about the second. That is why I wrote(in edit) that I would like to set it to 12 and 10... But for now 8 is what I can have. I'm getting 2.5something. So better then guiminer. But I'm not sure why I'm limeted to 8. But 8x8=64. If you start with 0 not 1 it is 111111 binary. Can that be it? And that why I get negative values when going over?

Hi!

I have a question. Why I can't setup intensity in my CGminer. If I add -I 9 into command line all my cores run with about the same speed and is sub 200MH... I have 8 GPU cores and if I setup -I 9 I get only 1.1something GH... If I don't added I get 2.0something GH. It is still not full speed but much beater then with I setting. What I should be seeing is 2.6something...

If I start miner without -I setting and change it later it happens that all others cart get negative intensity setting... When I set them all I get the same as if I use config file.

This happened when I added 5970 and 5770 to my miner. With only 5 cores I didn't have problems. But I do have a mix of cards if that might be a problem. 6790, 6870, 5850, 2x5970, 5770. Running 2.11.4, but the same problem is on 3.2.0(3.x has problems with my pool. I get disconnected all the time).

Win 7 x64... I did notice that CPU is on 100%. With only 5 cores it was less then 30%. Any other data?

Thanks

EDIT: Figure out why I have 100% CPU. CCC problem... Uninstalled it at it is fine...
Interesting... I just figure another thing out. If I set -I 8 everything is ok. If I set it to 9 even on one card doesn't work... Ideas?

EDIT: I would like to setup some cards to 10 and some to 12. Is there a limit on total intensity?

cgminer 3.2.0 crashes my raspberry pi when using 10 black arrow lancelots.

I got it working by recompiling everything and it seems to be fine. It is autodetecting the devices without issue. However, for example, I just ran it and before it started it detected 3 units... I see BLT 0, BLT 1, BLT 2, etc... then after a couple of seconds it auto-detected the other devices but they never show up on the device list. They submit shares just fine but I can't see the per device statistics.

How can I update the display to show the newly detected devices?

One quick answer don't know if thas was already talked about.
For linux cgminer it must be runned xwin on linux. So can I run cgminer from terminal like putty or it must be runned on linux pc stated on xwin terminal?
because I tried all and cgminer finds only CPU no GPUs.
