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.

Yeah, I moved it out of the folder before I started cgminer.

Could you please compile cgminer for Atheros Chipset ( Big Endian ) ?
That would be very helpful, then it were possible to run cgminer with dd-wrt on TP-Link devices with Atheros Chipset.

I think many users here would like that

You delete your .bins?

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).

Segfaults at startup are usually mixed sdk files +/- bin files.

Just used these instructions to revert back to SDK 2.5 and once again, I get a segmentation fault when I start up cgminer.

  This forum is like that.  Just add those users to your ignore list.

re: cgminer being a virus
If you cannot compile it yourself from sources use pre-compiled binaries done by Con.
If I were you, I would install the OS on a clean machine and just put cgminer and afterburner on it.  Don't install any AV software.
They are useless on mining rigs.  They only waste network and CPU resources. IMHO

923.1 is probably the problem
Someone else with a 5xxx will probably know for sure ...

Guys what am I doing wrong, i've spent a long time trying to get cgminer to work.

I've just made a fresh install of xubuntu, i've installed fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-dev

fglrxinfo and aticonfig --lsa both show correct information:


andrew@ren:~/cg/cgminer-2.4.3-x86_64-built$ fglrxinfo
display: :0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series

andrew@ren:~/cg/cgminer-2.4.3-x86_64-built$ aticonfig --lsa
* 0. 01:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series

* - Default adapter


I've installed AMD APP 2.4 by doing the following:

 sudo bash
 cd /opt
 cp ~/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64.tgz .
 tar -xvzf /home/ubuntu/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64.tgz
 cd AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/
 cp -pv lib/x86_64/* /usr/lib/
 rsync -avl include/CL/ /usr/include/CL/
 tar -xvzf icd-registration.tgz
 rsync -avl etc/OpenCL/ /etc/OpenCL/
 ldconfig

And installed curl (apt-get install libcurl)

Whenever I run the precompiled binary as in post #1 it segfaults:
./cgminer --verbose --benchmark

Any ideas?

I understand your choice. I was just wondering why.

Keep up the good work !

I don't want to be going nuts creating multiple binaries.

Why 12.04? At every next installation people will find it harder and harder to install old versions as they become less and less maintained and featured, like ANY software. At some stage I have to choose when to move on, and as I did from previously with ubuntu, I decided now was the time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with 12.04 except for the fact that you don't like the AMD drivers that come with it. Choosing the best driver is non-trivial for ANY version of ANY operating system though.

What makes it suck? I just upgraded and haven't seen much of a difference so far.

I think ckolivas should do this himself, not that I don't trust you kano.

What is the point using 12.04 anyway ? It sucks big time and 11.04 is best for miners.

I don't want to be compiling each time ...

For anyone still running ubuntu/xubuntu 11.04 like I do, the latest release binary 2.4.3 will not run on 11.04
(it's built on 12.04)

You can of course compile it yourself ... or:

I've compiled a distro version of 2.4.3 with all devices enabled and placed it my git downloads
What this is built from is the exact source in the 2.4.3 release - cgminer-2.4.3.tar.bz2,
all default options, (including ADL, GPU, curses) and also libudev & libusb,
CFLAGS="-O2 -W -Wall" ./configure --enable-icarus --enable-bitforce --enable-ztex --enable-modminer

So basically the same as the binary in the binary release, except compiled on xubuntu 11.04

It reports itself as cgminer 2.4.3a on the screen and in the version info

If you want it, it's in my git downloads: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/downloads

I'll do this 'all devices' version after each release, so people with 11.04 can get a binary without having to build it, if they don't want to build it.

I'm using it successfully on a rig with one 6950 GPU + one BFL
Edit: and also on my fedora 16 rig with two Icarus

Upgrade to catalyst 11.12.  Do not update the SDK when you install it.

Check the zipfile you downloaded for windows, there is a step by step instruction in there for linux-usb-cgminer...

Docs galore...

my current rig setup

1) 5x sapphire 5850
2) Ati 11.9
3) sdk 2.5 (default from the ati installer package) with 100% CPU bug 

this also happen to mining rig with 4GC but it takes more days before crash !

or anyone please help me to install linux on my rig and run this cgminer on linux please !

I've been looking into this and it may well be a bug so I'll try and fix it next version. Do you have 5970s or 6990s? That's the only scenario I can see this as happening.

Working in data recovery, I'd say your drive is dying. Try disabling swap (well swap is linux. Page file is Windooze).
