i'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and there are no ttyUSB* device...
where do i find my USB devices?

You can also
tail -f /var/log/syslog
and watch what happens when you plug it in.

Downgrade to BFGMiner.
It is almost reasonable for you to post in other threads suggesting BFGMiner as a solution.

Posting IN the CGMiner thread is not cool.

I'm using cgminer exactly because of BS posts like this from you Luke.  Stop acting like a 13 year old FFS

Upgrade to BFGMiner.

Fail...
I tried it, but It detects only 1 chip per board (out of 4) on my Cairnsmore1 and it does loads of rejects on p2pool. That's why I have to stay with cgminer. Latest bfgminer just compiled:

I cannot understand why it would be so important to a person to see their software used that they have to try and hijack other people's users. EGOs....geesh.

Did you run the right modprobe command that corresponds with your devices?

Code:
Q: How do I get my BFL/Icarus/Lancelot/Cairnsmore device to auto-recognise?
A: On Linux, if the /dev/ttyUSB* devices don't automatically appear, the only
thing that needs to be done is to load the driver for them:
BFL: sudo modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0x6014
Icarus: sudo modprobe pl2303 vendor=0x067b product=0x230
Lancelot: sudo modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0x6001
Cairnsmore: sudo modprobe ftdi_sio product=0x8350 vendor=0x0403
On windows you must install the pl2303 or ftdi driver required for the device
pl2303: PL-2303H / 2303HX / 2303HXD Drivers | Prolific USA
ftdi: Virtual COM Port Drivers

Got it working!

I went back to cgminer 3.1.1 and used the -S option to tell it where to look.

I'll play with the other settings now and see if I can get it running without root, etc.

Yeah well i got server 2012 free so its nice. I used a mod to get the start button back. Hope these retards bring it back with 8.1.

Windows 8 went back to Windows Defender and it still doesn't work for server 2012 sadly. Guess no av for me.

Ah, well I had not messed with 2012 much.  Tried out an eval of Win 8, which lasted all of 5 minutes after it was installed because I can't stand the Metro interface.  Server 2012 at least goes to a somewhat normal desktop.  Can't see myself using it much either.

So, looks like I'll be mining with cgminer on Win 7 and/or Linux unless Microsoft comes to their senses and goes back to making normal desktop Windows like everyone wants.  Wink

Shouldn't be using a server for anything that would get it infected anyhow. Smiley

FYI -

My ASICMiner USB Block Erupter is now working (XUbuntu).

I believe I only needed:

To be in the dialout group

cgminer 3.1.1 with -S [/dev/ttyUSBx]

I'm not using a udev rule or running as root any more and things are working fine.

What was the other Microsoft av? 8/2012 switched back to the other one
Id love to have av on my 2012, uninstalled sep crap already

As far as I know, there's only MSE: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-download

The only choice really is whether you need 32bit or 64bit.

I know they have some different versions, like Forefront, which is made to run in large enterprise setups (runs in client/server modes only, no standalone client installs).  MSE is purely a standalone client that can be used on any of Microsoft's OS products.  Should work on anything from Windows XP and Server 2003 on up through latest Win 8 and Server 2012 versions.

Ah, just realized they renamed it back to Defender for Win 8/2012.  Same thing, different name.  Only thing is it's already included in Win 8/2012.

So MSE download is for everything back to Win XP, but not for Win 8.  Smiley

I'm not able to get 3.2.0 to work with my USB block erupters either.  It never finds the device.  Like others that have reported the problem, I'm using a USB 3.0 hub.  It's the only one I could find that could reliable power 7 devices.

M

EDIT: And it was a hassle getting it to work again with 3.1.1.  Reinstalling the USB to COM drivers didn't fix it, as it put them on the next 7 ports (according to device manager), and cgminer couldn't see them there.  On a hunch I manually changed them back to the right ports (3 - 9), uninstalled and reinstalled the USB to COM drivers again, then everything started working again.

Uninstall USB/COM drivers, install WinUSB and try 2.0 hub or port.

Can you try one stick in USB 2.0 hub or directly in USB 2.0 port on your computer? Run cgminer with full debug diags.

If I start cgminer with --ndevs it shows the ASICMiner USB:

.USB dev 0: Bus 2 Device [number] ID: [vendor]:[id]

The Product is : "CPU2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller"

This is with the udev rule.

So, it looks like it recognizes it when asked with the command line switch but then doesn't recognize it when it starts up.

What happens if you run it as root... get it working in the simple conditions first then tweak it.
When I run as root, without the udev rule (so the USB is owned by root), I get the same cp210x message as above - that it disconnected ttyUSB0 and then cgminer doesn't detect anything.  Same thing if I put the udev rule back...

Also, FYI - I have removed modemmanager as suggested in another thread.
