im trying to mine on a hd6850

its on lubuntu but only have a 512mb ddr2 stick I was wondering if It needs more ram ??
is that why im getting this error

I have a problem with cgminer. I get only 350 on a 7870GHz editon at 1250 core... But with GUIminer I get 453... I think it is a problem with me changing SDK and drivers finding the right combination and don't knowing how to remove openCL from cgminer.

I have deleted file phatk121016Pitcairnv1w256l4.bin from cgminer folder but this doesn't help... What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: And from the file I would say it is using "flegs" -v -w256 -I4" Can I change them to -w128 since I get better results in GUI with them.

For the last day I get maaaany "rejected... " errors. Hashrate down to bottom. What's going on??
Cgminer says :
Connected to mining.eligius.st diff 1 with stratum as user XXXX
Then I have no idea and that's the first time this bug has been reported, and no other pool has such an issue. Since the vast majority of miners use cgminer on most pools, I'd have had a report. Perhaps since the original owner of the pool wrote competing software, he could go to great lengths to find a way to make sure you use it. Knowing our history I wouldn't put it past him. Maybe when time permits I'll investigate but in the meantime you're free to do what you like, be that mine on another pool or use different software. If you desperately want to use cgminer and that pool in combination, you can probably revert to getwork protocol with --fix-protocol.

Can be -fix-Protocol be an Option ?
It is an option.
It means don't change the protocol if the pool offers a different one.
If you don't use it, cgminer may change protocols to something different if it is give the option.
However, if Eligius doesn't have the option to connect directly to stratum, then yes the pool has got it wrong.
You should be able to connect directly to the stratum server and with --fix-protocol that should not change ... like how all the other Stratum pools work.

Kano,
 i know this is the official support thread, and if you need me to move my post here i'll certainly do so. But by any chance can you please take a look @ https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/need-help-building-cgminer-from-git-on-fedora17update-114974 - i thought it's more relevant to my problem. Appreciate.

Upgrade your miner.
my miner is cgminer 3.1.0
Which has this known bug... upgrade to 3.0.1 or BFGMiner.

any solution without downgrading or move to BFGminer?
Use stratum directly if you want to mine there. That pool will redirect you to GBT which is a bullshit mining protocol anyway.

Hello,

I'm using cgminer 3.1.0 to mine bitocins and minerd 2.2.3 to mine litecoins. I have o good problem. Minerd strangle cgminer. All the power of cpu or gpu go to the first.. At the begining this was verified at my laptop and then (after changing litecoin pool becouse I found another one better than the first) at the desktop too. Can anyone help me to use the two programs indipendently from each eather?

Thanks

You can do this, but only with "extra" CPU cores. Never do this with a single-core CPU. I have a six-core on my main rig and use 3 cores for feathercoin CPU mining no problem. The evidence of this is that I am getting 750Khs litecoin mining with both GPUs. Oh, and if you open task manager > Processes > rightclick minerd and set Priority to "Low". Helps to give cgminer first shot & decrease wear on CPU.

notorious shrimp!
hi there,

is it possible to get temperature information about ztex FPGA devices using cgminer?

Think for yourself
The problem is lack of reading the readme.
Well, I just tryed 3.1.0 and it works fine in the same environment. It seems even 3.0.1 works. I guess it really was something with the drivers/sdk, although i didn't change anything.

That sounds great.

We are all very happy that you didn't have to RTFM.  That would have just been too crazy. Smiley

I see that a newer version already up - 3.1.0, but it seems to have mostly BFL support, so I'll leave a message anyway.
I tryed to mine Litecoin on 3.0.1 when it was out, but it just crashed as soon as I launched it, never even generated a .bin file. For a moment I thought that something might be broken because I just installed 13.4 drivers instead of beta ones (considering they are essentially the same, just whql signed), but then I ran good old 2.11.4 and everything worked perfectly, while 3.0.1 still crashed.
Didn't try 3.1 version because all of my cards are hard at work right now, don't want to screw anything.
So the question is - what could be the problem?
System is - 2 x 7950, 13.4 catalyst and was 2.6 app-sdk, but I guess catalyst overwrote it to its internal version even though I unchecked it while installing.

Why don't you use a command prompt so you can capture the error?

Scrypt mining on a cpu is death and you're slowing your gpu as you see

Assuming minerd isn't touching GPUs, since it's presumably pooler's cpuminer, try using one less thread than your i7 has physical cores.  This should leave enough CPU juice for cgminer to handle the GPU efficiently.  That is operating under the assumption that you aren't suffering from some 100% CPU bug running cgminer, in which case you need to change something to fix that regardless of whether or not you scrypt mine.
