Can anybody share a 32-bit binary for Xubuntu 11.10 ? Built the binary many times. Always get Segmentation Fault. Thanks.

I just thought of a problem with the new cgminer and not being able to set devices.
How would I take a few of my 20 lancelots and mine on a different pool/coin?
The --usb command. You can limit how many devices it grabs. cgminer keeps a system wide record of who's got what so 2 instances will not try to grab the same devices. How would I take a few of my 20 lancelots and mine on a different pool/coin?

cgminer 3.2.0 crashes my raspberry pi when using 10 black arrow lancelots.
In addition, I randomly get this when I start it on 3.1.2
[2013-06-01 17:25:57] Icarus Detect: Test failed at /dev/ttyUSB7: get 00000000, should: 000187a2
Sometimes I'll get that on 5 or 6 devices... sometimes just one. Not sure what is causing that but upgrading won't even let me run them, it locks up after starting within 10 seconds.

Hey folks,
is it possible to let cgminer not crash when a USB device (ztex) is removed while mining ?
Currently I got around 10 ztex boards connected to a usb hub which are all recognized without problems by cgminer 3.2.0 but as soon as a device fails or is physically removed from the usb hub, cgminer crashes and I have to restart again.
Would be great if the "missing" device is simply disabled and a note is posted into the log instead of a whole segfault
Thanks,
oc

cgminer's just reporting what your pool is doing. If it changes difficulty often it's not a very stable algorithm they're using to determine your dynamic difficulty. It's harmless, just noisy.Ah, k. Thanks a lot

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.

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.
WinUSB *IS* installed. It's required for 3.1.1. I don't have a 2.0 hub. I might try one on a 2.0 port on a different computer. I spent an hour last night trying to get it working, and then recovering from trying to get it working, on my mining rig. I'm not going there again.

So has anyone got Block Erupter USB sticks working with Raspberry Pi through a powered USB 3.0 hub yet?

Have you seen this? Possible optimization of the scrypt kernel
https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,4082.0/topicseen.html
All those changes are of dubious utility and likely to lead to identical binary kernels being generated.https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,4082.0/topicseen.html
Very sad to hear this, I was wondering about this myself and it seemed promising

Can't find the changelog
May 31, 2013, 10:08:38 PM
If you have stable GPU miners on on older versions (3.0.0 or 3.1.1 for example) is there any performance increase inherent to 3.2 that is worth the upgrade? I see the majority of changes are for ASIC people.
No. There are stratum changes which might help you if you have problems, but otherwise no. May 31, 2013, 10:02:11 PM

Looks like we have a lot of work to do... for windows yet again. With heavy development, the unforeseen problems are likely to be ever present. M

Oh, yeah we fixed that in IRC about an hour ago and I pushed it to the master branch./configure --enable-scrypt --enable-icarus PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/curl/lib/pkgconfig CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall"
sudo make install

I've seen it before, but no one has stayed around in IRC to help me fix it (I don't have OSX)
Thanks to NetRaider in IRC for helping with this.

P2pool changes every few seconds
Yes, but it's quite stable: it only changes noticeably when you add/remove hashrate.
Avoiding making tiny difficulty adjustment when hashrate is stable wouldn't hurt though.
