Topic: OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.0 - page 390. (Read 5805537 times)

As documented in the API-README ... the 'summary' command returns that total sum for all pools ...

Yup, that is what I mean't, the total blocks found. How would I go forward, enabling this option? Thanks.

Completely vague question ... I'll take a guess at meaning: "Is there a block counter for each pool?"
The answer is no - only a total blocks found.
People don't usually find many anyway

Hello,
i had my rigs (2 7970 on Win7 Pro 32bit with catalyst 12.8 and cgm 2.8.7) mining btc for months now (with an automatic restart script every day at 4am just to be sure), steady income, no hangers.
I switched to 2.11.3 because after the fork rumours and pools ceasing merged mining, forcing btcd0.8.1 and the increasing btc/usd ratio i felt like it was the time to upgrade and service my rigs.
What an error i did make there....

I have a quite unstable DSL with Dyn IP, but that was never a problem since 2.8.7 came out.
Now, the machines will just mine until "something" happens, then stop, giving windows a finger. It then shows a window "cgminer has stopped working".
I did not change any settings, just updated the exe.
As the error window states some vga related dll (forgot the name, but was AMD related) has ceased working i thought updating catalyst to 13.8 may help, but it doesn't.

CGMiners window shows no hardware errors, all looks like usual, besides it is not moving anymore.
I did not overclock the cards, although i can't recall the actual settings, but they did work since 2.8.7 came out, and temperature is not a problem, we had colder and hotter days there, both were no problem.
Also, i did not change protocols, i was mining stratum with BTCGuild and ozco.in before and after the incident, using getwork mtred as backup, but that almost got no shares.

What did change from 2.8.7 to 2.11.3 that causes this, and what can i do to stop it?

Both of you, remove setting from your config file.

Here is my config.


Does anyone know how to enable this option here?

ckolivas, just a headsup, mining away fantastically, 2 5850's. At first, I pulled my original cfg from my ckolivas-cgminer-43752ee directory, to the cgminer-2.11.3-win32 directory, cgminer kept crashing, so I changed platform to 0 from 1, it was hesitant, then I looked at the example config, seen that platform was not there, so I removed platform from the cfg file, and bam, mining away and plus I went from 384.6 to 386.2 khash/s from ckolivas-cgminer-43752ee to cgminer-2.11.3-win32, fantastic work man! And seems to have less stales or rejects. Thumbs up.

Edit:
2 5850's.
Win7x64
13.2B7 with supplied sdk.
386.2 khash/s on each card.

From 12.6ccc with sdk 2.6 to the 13.2beta7 with supplied sdk, I gained a .4 khash/s, then I went from 384.6 to 386.2 khash/s from ckolivas-cgminer-43752ee to cgminer-2.11.3-win32. SO i got two speed boosts.

so whats my best option even with the newest one flgrx still has install issues it seems

is there a irc channel for support/help

Best drivers for 5000 series were 11.6, but they won't even run on ubuntu 12.10 because of the newer Xorg.

can sombody give me  write up of the commnds they used for 12.10 unbuntu

i need the apt-get thats need for the drivers for flgrx bc it seems to keep failing.
ive done a complete reinstall strting from scratch and goolged the issuse and got the apt-get many other have had luck with but i didn't

im running dual core 6 gigs mem
2 5970 which is were the issuse lies it only sees two decives even after aticconfig =all blah blah
lso what  is the best drivers for the 5000 seires is it still 11.11 or no?

Thanks a lot to everybody.
Now it works.
Great community!

You need to run terminal from command line, so it does not close on you.

windows (shift + right click) open command window here

you need to change your driver with zadig to the new driver.

read FPGA-Readme in cgminer folder.

Thanks.
But the warning/message run so fast I can read it and dont know how to pause it.
Where can I get the new driver?  I'm running BFL FGPA Single.

Try NOT ignoring the big fat warning at startup that says you need to install a new driver?

cgminer-2.11.3-win32

 fpgaonly

not working.

2.10.5 works perfectly.

May be I should modify/change something on my config file.

Any help would be appreciated.

You know that's what happened with earlier versions... are you sure you're on the latest cgminer!?

Thanks for the tips. I'll give it another try tomorrow. Intensity 14+ is not working at all (kills performance), so I'm hoping it's a driver issue.

It shouldn't. You are probably using a compositing window manager and/or some graphical applications using the GPU. If you are using a desktop environment, try to run the simplest window manager you can (twm or fvwm) with no widget. Run your mining program in screen or tmux to avoid any X terminal.

Edit: I don't see any speed difference between the main card and others on my rigs. They all use the standard Xubuntu desktop.

No. Only Nvidia drivers are smart enough to do that.

Is there a way to mine on Linux without running X?  It seems like running a grpahical display cuts around 100kH/sec off your speed on the main card.
