Do you have a configuration file perhaps that is being loaded without you knowing it? It's in ~/.cgminer and loads it by default AS WELL as any commands you pass to it.

No I don't use a configuration file.

Overnight 3 of my 9 Linux machines quit (all running 2.4.3). My 2 Windows machines have never quit (running 2.4.0 and 2.4.1).

I am now running those three machines with stderr and stdout piped to a file:

Code:

cgminer -o http://gpumax.com:8332  ...  -I 8 2>&1 | tee mine.log

Is there any other diagnostics I can run to help figure out this problem?

I know you don't consciously use a configuration file... but is there one in the default place?

This just started this weekend. I'm running cgminer 2.4.3 on Ubuntu 11.04. I've been running this no problem since it was released. This weekend I rebooted every computer (11 in total) while I measured the power consumption just to make sure everything was OK. Since then all my Linux miners have been spontaneously stopping without any good reason. They arn't too hot. I didn't change any parameters. All I did was turn them off, attach a Kill-a-watt, turn them on, then off, then remove the Kill-a-watt and turn them on again.

Each miner will run from about 1 hour to 6 hours before it just turns off. No crash. Cgminer just ends. I piped the output into a file and found nothing.

Any thing I should know about this version that might cause this?

You probably hit the bandwidth limit for that mobo with the extra GPUs and they're never really working. See if you can increase the PCIE latency in the bios. That usually does the trick.

I recently added two 5970s to a Windows 7 64 rig that was running stable with one 5970 and one 5830. The previous stable configuration was run at 815/170 361MHx2 and 1000/170 315MH for a total average hashrate of 1037 MH. I've always used 11.12 with SDK 2.1 to avoid the CPU bug without issues. With adding the two most recent 5970s to the rig CGminer detects all 7 of the gpus, but none of the cores will hash correctly. Currently the 5970s are set at 805/170 with the 5830 staying at 1000/170. With the additional 5970s I am only averaging 1977-2115 MH, which is far from what I was expecting. I can set all of the clocks with CGminer, but as soon as I adjust the intensity on any core the intensity of all of the others drops. If I continue to adjust the intensity on all of the cores the total hash rate of every one will drop to around half of what it was previously at. In CGminer when adjusting the clocks it will display something to the manner of "GPUs using dynamic intensity, only using one core." The GPU usage hangs around 73-77% load on each core when left on dynamic. Upon changing the intensity and having the cores' hash rate halve the load drops to around 55%.

I've noticed a few things:

1. Upon starting Windows 7 I receive the following error message:

The message displays the following text:

2. Upon starting CGminer it only disables threads with odd numbers: 1, 3, 5... 13 for a total of 7 threads.

3. Adding --gpu-threads|-2 or --intensity|-9 automatically closes the program.

4. Underclocking and undervolting have not affect on the hash rate issue.

5. Removing / reinstalling SDKs, 11.12, and CGminer have no affect.

Rig Parts:
MSI h61m-p21
3x5970
1x5830
Powered risers
G440 Celeron
4GB ram
60GB SSD
ABS 1100 PSU

I thought I finally had everything running correctly, but... The night I got this rig running with the extra 5970s it melted a power adapter in my outlet and shutoff my two left rigs. Thankfully, I caught it a few hours later in the morning as the metal parts of the adapter were melting inside of the outlet. I promptly changed the plugs on my power strips and started searching for some answers to this problem. I found a few instances of this happening, but no one really has a solid answer to what is going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the output of one of my miners quitting without my permission. Can anyone see anything wrong here? I think I might just have to restart my cgminer every half hour.

Reinstalled Ubuntu, installed Catalyst 12.1, installed SDK 2.5 using kano's method and I'm STILL getting a segfault. This is getting ridiculous now.

EDIT: Got it working by wiping out the Catalyst driver and the SDK files and just installing Catalyst. Seriously, how do people get 12.1 installed while still being able to use a decent SDK?

I don't know how reliable auto is. ...kinda looks like it's not.
Better to manually specify each device:
-S -S
etc
Look at the readme.

Yeah you need to add the USB ports:

Try adding: (Example for 2 BLFs, look in /dev and see how many ttyUSBx show up)

Code:

-S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1

Add more -S /dev/ttyUSBx if you have more BFL's plugged in.

Sorry - no idea - other than what I've already said.
However, yes, 12.x installs the SDK also (as alluded to in my script)
But once a single set of everything is installed you will most likely need to recompile cgminer ...

I've never used upgrade coz it depends on every single developer out there knowing how to handle an upgrade to their software and doing it correctly each their own way ...

Damn, so I'll just have to reinstall Ubuntu then...again. So then does 12.1 install the 2.5 SDK also? Or what order should they be installed in?
