i tried getting help in my own thread and mostly got ignored. those that tried to help did in some instances. This thread is much too long to find things. that being said, i'm trying to install cgminer on a virgin Ububtu box. Once i figured out that configure had to be run to compile i've started making progress. I'm now getting the error:
configure: error: Missing required libcurl dev >= 7.18.2
I have libcurl3 installed, but i don't know if that means anything in this instance.
oh, and is there a command that i can run to identify which radian gpu i have? i want to see if the hardware thinks it is what i think it is.

Hey tiktoc,
Nope it runs dual 5870Ms stock speeds the cards should be getting 150mhash each and OCed 185ish mhash.
bump for help.... when i specify to use one card of the other, it seems only the left card gets used as the right side dosnt even get warm.. not sure if its a cgminer glitch, driver issue or hardware problem :-/ still trying to work it out.

If it was a driver issue would both video cards show using the -n switch?
bump for support
wow this CGMiner thread seems to be avoiding me like the black plauge. thanks alot guys

I've left the 3.0.0 built linux tarballs in the top directory just to confuse people so they could come here and ask why there isn't a 3.0.1 build.
You evil bastard you.

New version: 3.0.1, 25th April 2013
Windows and osx hotfix updates only. Linux users need not upgrade and I've left the 3.0.0 built linux tarballs in the top directory just to confuse people so they could come here and ask why there isn't a 3.0.1 build.
Human readable changelog:
- Fix for not being able to mine on a small number of pools with stratum on windows.
- Fix for crashes on any OSX machines with more than 1 GPU.
Full changelog:
- Bypass attempting to read and save binary files on OSX to avoid crashes on >1
GPU.
- Receive failures in recv_line should unconditionally fail.

Try the latest git master version, this should be fixed now. Or you can wait for a new release.
Thanks,
I build the latest Git on W32 and its all ok. :-)

is there any way to "specify share difficulty" in cgminer, in .conf file maybe? i switched to P2Pool on stratum and was wondering if i can change to diff2 shares instead of diff1? or does it even matter?
If you use stratum and make over 1 diff1 share per second it will rise automagically.You can add /n or +n at end of username to get share diff=n
It is useful only on high power or you need lower data stream miner<>pool.

P.S. Cgminer is the best miner out there in my opinion. Con keep up the great work!!!!
Thanks! Much nicer than the same newbie questions over and over again P.S. Cgminer is the best miner out there in my opinion. Con keep up the great work!!!!
Alas it's not up to stratum or cgminer to set difficulty as there is no official way to do so (yet?). Though some pools allow you to specify by the password field instead as you can see from rav3n_pl's response.
i understand some pools have that feature, seeing as ASICS are coming we will have greatly varying hash rates so being able to select difficulty in cgminer or stratum might be needed , I for one think mining should go back to its roots and steer away from pools but i could be wrong though.

Hi,
just started to use cgminer a few days ago. It's amazing! gpu engine and max-temp parameters are just great for me. But I'm looking for a special function, maybe somebody could help: I would like to schedule the setting for max temperature: for example 75 °C at day and 80 °C at night. Would that work - and if, how? My mining computer stands in an office room, so at day (especially in summer) it must have lower temperatures. At night they can be higher, when nobody is there.
Anyone an idea?

I don't think there is a scheduling function in CGMiner, at least I haven't seen any reference to scheduling in the documentation in the top post of this thread.
Unless your changing your engine clocks, your GPU's are generating the same amount of waste heat whether your target temp is 75c or 80c. At 80 your fans will just have to work less as they won't have to spin up to a higher speed. So I would think you would want to have the higher temp during the day so that the fans don't make as much noise.
At any rate I think changing your target temp will have little effect on the temperature in the room.

That's crashing in the driver code that measures temperature. Are you using another app to adjust temperature/fanspeed at the same time? Theoretically they can fight over it. Disabling the other app if that's so might help. Not making cgminer adjust fanspeed/gpuspeed might help, or disabling all control/monitoring entirely with --no-adl should help if all else fails.
No, I don't use any other adjustment software. Your diagnosis is right: if I don't export DISPLAY, just COMPUTE, I get no fanspeed/temperature monitoring, and there is no error on quit. But I'd really like to have these features... summer is coming.What I can't understand is why driver fails when I quit the program, and works perfectly fine while it is still running - it adjusts the fanspeed and engine clock to match my target temperature.
PS. You're great, -ck. Thanks for all your work:)

A: Your driver setup is failing to properly use the accessory GPUs. Your
driver may be configured wrong or you have a driver version that needs a dummy
plug on all the GPUs that aren't connected to a monitor.
Thanks a million zvs! Is that from the 3.0 README? It most definitely is not in the version I have. WTF??? I am running xubuntu 12.04 with cgminer 2.11.4 and I don't know if I have a special case going on here or what. If my drivers are misconfigured, then I am clueless as to what to do next...
As far as I understand, linux doesn't require dummy plugs, correct?

cgminer 2.11.4 and 3.0.0 I get an error GPU1 invalid nonce: HW error on my radeon hd 5870 runs fine under 2.11.3, even looks like it's producing normal hashes on the other 2 versions all the averages look right the 5s and avg values show what both of my cards together produce, it's just reported as HW error instead of accepted on the 5870. Other card is a 7970 if that matters. Running windows 7 x64
I had this issue on p2pool until I set the shares to a specific difficulty. About half were reported as 'hardware errors' on core 1 of a 5970.
Cgminer appears to have shittons of issues with combos of 5xxx and 7xxx cards. I'd use something else.

My GPU is 7790 (Bonaire), AMD SDK version 2.8RC, graphic driver is 12.101.2.1 (the only one that seems to support my graphic card).
Is there anything I can do to prevent this error?
I'll check 3.0 now.

Q: I have multiple GPUs and although many devices show up, it appears to be
working only on one GPU splitting it up.
working only on one GPU splitting it up.
Which version of the README is that in? I searched mine (by copying and pasting to open office and using the search command) and it's not in there.
If you have the answer to the question that you posted, would you be so kind as to paste the answer to it as well?
Thanks again!

Here's an odd one I'm running into today after re-burning my USB stick's linux image from a clean copy, pulling in the latest git, compiling and firing up cgminer...
cgminer's interface ignores all normal menu keystrokes (p, g, and so on), UNLESS I neglect to specify a pool in the config file, in which case it works normally because it had to accept keyboard input to allow me to set the pool credentials. I can use ctl-c to kill it and get back to a prompt, no problem. I just can't adjust settings while cgminer is running.
This is latest git pull as of "Thu Apr 11 13:31:17 2013 +1000".
Found this bug at last and it should be fixed in git master now, thanks.cgminer's interface ignores all normal menu keystrokes (p, g, and so on), UNLESS I neglect to specify a pool in the config file, in which case it works normally because it had to accept keyboard input to allow me to set the pool credentials.

Has this fix made it to cgminer 3.0 yet? I'm experiencing the same problem in Ubuntu -- no menu options displayed and keystrokes ignored after I specify a config file at startup.
