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?

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?

OK!!!
It works now.
Took me a while to figure. But i must say. It`s hard to catch simplest facts.

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.

I`m using auto, just auto.
What else should i use ?

What's your command line?
You need a -S for each unit.

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? However, yes, 12.x installs the SDK also (as alluded to in my script)

Did you ever actually install a version of fglrx some other way than apt-get?
At a guess that is most likely the cause.
And my guess would be that the install setup some env variable that points at the wrong directory for a library.
I just did a reinstall of fglrx a couple days ago where I removed the one that was installed in the software center and installed the 12.1 driver. For the SDK, I had originally installed 2.5 using your guide, but when I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04, it updated itself to 2.6 (probably came with the fglrx update that I didn't realize was being installed). If you could tell me how to get rid of all of it so I can start fresh, that'd be great. At a guess that is most likely the cause.

Q: Is this a virus?
A: Cgminer is being packaged with other trojan scripts and some antivirus
software is falsely accusing cgminer.exe as being the actual virus, rather
than whatever it is being packaged with. If you installed cgminer yourself,
then you do not have a virus on your computer. Complain to your antivirus
software company.

Understood. (And I had read the FAQ, but thanks.
)I mentioned it here because I downloaded it from the official pristine location, linked in the topmost post.
If the official version accidentally packaged up a trojan version of a 3rd party library (libpdcurses) it seemed worth mentioning.

At a guess that is most likely the cause.
And my guess would be that the install setup some env variable that points at the wrong directory for a library.
The manual cgminer (mine and ckolivas') SDK procedure puts files in 3 places
/usr/lib/
/etc/OpenCL/
/usr/include/CL/
The installs that people download or follow from other people can also redirects the system to look for those files in other places.
(and I have no idea if there are some weird flavours of linux that do this in strange ways)
My original comment was basically saying that I think you've done something different to the script and that's the problem, thus you'll have to sort out what you did.
You could just manually remove all the drivers and SDK and reinstall it from scratch
Manual removal may cause problems with apt - so you may need to work out how to tell apt stuff is removed also (or use apt to remove it as long as it doesn't try to uninstal half of linux along with whatever you remove)
Aside: a system install of linux is very simple and quick ... I've even written a script on how to do that with xubu 11.04
So unless you have 7xxx cards ... though that can be handled with ... my SDK script

Segfaults at startup are usually mixed sdk files +/- bin files.
I know that, that's why I was telling him. Something's missing from his instructions.EDIT: Now I've tried installing 2.4, 2.6 and 2.7 with those instructions, all resulting in a segfault (or in the case of 2.7, it told me that all devices were disabled).

re: anti-virus declaring a Trojans.
I just downloaded the cgminer-2.4.3-Win2.zip
I use AVG anti-virus, and it said that libpdcurses.dll contained a Key Logger Trojan.
On the one hand, I suspect it is a false positive.
On the other hand I don't mind getting a new copy of a library from a trusted source just to be safe.
