I did, yesterday all 30 odd pages and I did it twice. So, did I miss it?----- is there something particular you are try to draw my attention to?

Can anybody please tell me what it is that I have not right here?
On a USB HDD I have a new install Ubuntu 12.04 amd64, a new install of 12.6 drivers (amd-driver-12-6-x86_64.run) installed with the “run” installer. Installed CGMiner-2.7.5 from the “built” version. Extracted in the directory same way as I have been doing for months.
CGMiner runs as usual on BTC (a truly great piece of work)
However if I try to use “scrypt” for LTC I get these errors. Can somebody please tell me what that means --- in simple terms.

Hi miners (particularly solo) 
I use 2.7.5 from the beginning, no issue, congratulations Ckolivas!
I mine solo (small 7970 rigs farm), without the block (with 2.7.5).
Till now - elapsed digging time - 860% expected time.
Just I have such bad luck with this version CGminer and graphics card mining?
Panda Mouse.
Probably, pools with many more GH/s than you have had luck that bad from time to time. There could be network issues or bitcoind issues involved, but probably not cgminer issues since other people mining on pools are having performance as good or better than ever. I use 2.7.5 from the beginning, no issue, congratulations Ckolivas!

Thank you. Allow worked fine. Not sure why groups didn't but it isn't a group so either way. It works!

Hi, sorry for being stupid – What do I put if I don’t want to touch a rather finicky GPU?
Like 5850/5830/5770 with 5830 being faulty – 750,???,900 core, 250,???,250 memory 100,???,100 fan?
I cannot touch any of those without a forced restart. Setting defaults does not work either. Auto gpu/fan restarts as well.
The card works okay with no modification on any kernel/vectors/aggression setting, the only thing is, I cannot overclock the stable cards on the same machine. Or can i (without afterburner's/etc's manual set up)?
TIA.
Just don't give it any gpu parameters and it won't try to set anything. Or if you want to disable all the gpu monitoring entirely, start it with --no-adlLike 5850/5830/5770 with 5830 being faulty – 750,???,900 core, 250,???,250 memory 100,???,100 fan?

Thank you for a prompt reply.
What i meant is that i need to OC/UC the other two cards through the .bat/autostart without touching the faulty one. (i can only restart, it is difficult for me to manage it remotely with afterburner/etc. on my current soft, and i visit only weekly/less often).
I had tried x, ,x and x,,x and x,stock,x for memory/core and both of those make the faulty card restart (GPU1).
It works fine with no arguments for core/memory as well as with settings from afterburner for GPU0/GPU2. (I had connected the fan from the mobo to eliminate it, so it does not matter now).
Unfortunately the other cards have to be managed otherwise they are causing restarts.
TIA.
I can think of 3 "solutions" to your cannot be managed/must be managed card combo. So here goes in increasing order of difficulty.
1. Get rid the faulty card. Maybe replace it with something that still works.
2. run 2 instances of CGMiner; one with "-d 1" and the other with "-d 0 -d 2 --auto-fan --auto-gpu --your-other-options"
3. Adjust the bios defaults on your cards so they default to what you want them to run at. Don't specify any GPU or fan speeds when you start CGMiner so they all run at their modified defaults and let the driver control the fans.
Good luck.

This is in my cgminer.conf. This isn't enough?

Is the fan working? How many mining threads do you have running? What is the status and the temperature displayed in the main cgminer window?

Thanks for the info. It does sound like miner.php may be a better option but I do have java installed. Sadly I don't think I have ever actually run a java file just compiled and ran using eclipse after I coded them. I should have figured it would be easiest to use java being cross platform and all.
Just short of getting enable and disable working. Will try harder tomorrow.
so far I am using
java API disablepool0
If I add the | it says 0 is an invalid command.
Then you must put it in quotes:Just short of getting enable and disable working. Will try harder tomorrow.

It looks like I can adjust cgminer to fix my problem of ~10% stales. If eclipsemc is working well I can run a scan time of about 90. If I use gpumax to pass work to gpumax I need to have scan time set to 30 or less. it does give me around 8 stales in a row I would assume But I hacked it so that I wouldn't get kicked off gpumax by using eclipsemc's diff10 server prior to remembering this setting. I get 1-2 stales. Granted all the accepted are less frequent too. My average stales on that pool went from `9.8 to 9.5 now that isn't great but my overall submission rate is far lower too so the average would take a while to drop. I really didn't want to restart but it would give me numbers earlier.
For a serious question. Would compliling the API C file just require using minGW? I don't really know how to use the MinGW compiler at all so this would likely be a bad idea.
There are quite a few steps to compiling cgminer on windows ... all documented in windows-build.txt that Sharky wrote that comes with cgminer.For a serious question. Would compliling the API C file just require using minGW? I don't really know how to use the MinGW compiler at all so this would likely be a bad idea.
The api-example.c is one of 4 ways I provided with cgminer to access the API.
It has a comment at the top about how to compile it (that Xiangfu put there)
The 4 are:
1) api-example.c <- this is just a program to send commands to the cgminer API and get replies back in text/json.
2) API.java/API.class <- same as above written in Java (so you just need to have Java on the computer - no compiling needed)
3) api-example.php <- same as above again but written in PHP, so you need PHP on the computer to use it
4) miner.php <- a complete web page (that requires minor or no configuration) to display the status of 1 or more cgminers ... using a web server
Of course on linux there's also
5) Use nc/ncat/netcat to send commands to the API e.g. echo -n summary | nc 127.0.0.1 4028 ; echo
Of those, only miner.php is a complete tool for viewing the API data, while the rest can supply any API data in text dump (or JSON) format that you then need to do something with if you want it to look 'pretty'
To make it simplest for you - use API.class instead of compiling api-example.c - both do exactly the same thing and API.class just needs java installed www.java.com
e.g.
java API summary
java API config 192.168.0.177
java API coin 192.168.0.217 4029

Or if anyone is interested in additions after 2.7.5
The master branch in my git has a rather large number of commits I've worked on in the last 24 hours (and a couple before that)
The list is: debug control in the API, generic HW error handling for all devices except ztex, Diff1 information, BFL identify via a led flash, BFL throttle counter in 'notify' and a few other bit and pieces.
The pull request is here: https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/pull/310 that shows them all.
That is simply my master branch - and each change I've done I keep adding to that pull request.
Anyone interested in any of those additions feel free to compile my master and let me know if you have any problems.
I haven't changed the ztex code coz I don't have any ztex hardware and the original code does some weird shit dealing with HW errors - if someone has a ztex and has time to visit IRC I could add some changes in another branch and get them to test it also.
Thanks for anyone who can test this.
Edit: of course this is what I am running on my 2 rigs - BFL, and ICA+GPU

I built it last night on 32bit Ubuntu 12.04. It's been running for 8hrs and is showing a modest amount of HW errors for my CM1 board.
Looks good

It there a Plan to implemet queue and Threats in the API?
At the moment the socket queue is 100 but a single thread.What are you doing with the API that needs more than that?
Ok i miswrote it.
I dont wont Threat and queue for the API. I want to Set These options over the API like Intensity.
If i Mine with a normal Pool the Standard Setting for these Parameters are ok.
If i Switch to p2pool over the API in an Script, i want to change the Queue And threats too.
(It currently shows ScanTime, but doesn't let you change it - easy enough to do that)
I'll add them to my list of stuff to be done some time in the future ... or you can prompt me to do it sooner ...
Adjusting the number of threads ... not in the near future ... cgminer doesn't let you do that through the screen, so doing it via the API might mean a change in the scanhash thread control code ... I'd have to look closer at it ...
