Can someone tell me how to setup a fallback pool in this .bat file:
cgminer.exe -o http://173.193.21.69:8337 -u user -p password -v 2 -w 128

You can specify additional pools by repeating the arguments (second, third,... dataset with -o -u -p arguments). Alternatively you can specify these in configuration files and simply add -c 1.cfg -c 2.cfg -c 3.cfg etc.

So, that would be:

cgminer.exe -o http://arsbitcoin.com:8344 -u user -p password -v 2 -w 128
cgminer.exe -o http://mtred.com:8337 -u user -p password -v 2 -w 128

?
I've tried doing it from within the cgminer console, but I'm still unfamiliar with the commands.

Thanks, by the way.

I've been using guiminer, but about three days ago I switched to cgminer. Shocked

Stales percentage dropped significantly. I'm wishing I had done this a long time ago.

Hi,
I have been seeing some crashes both when running cpu only and with cpu+gpu mining.
Here is the output from a cpu-only run that crashed, does it make any sense to anyone?
Most often it takes many hours before they crash.

cgminer v 1.6.1 (1.6.2 also crashes)
The computer is a dual cpu intel quad core
os: RHEL 5.3 (seen similar on CentoOs 5.4)

never mind. That was with default settings. When I started using -I 9 I am getting steady solid speeds.

Thanks again for such an awesome piece of mining software, one donation coming your way!

I upgraded all my rigs to 1.6.2, one thing I am noticing is the m/hash is fluctuating a great deal more than it was. Before it only fluctuated maybe 5-10 mhash at most

now I am seeing fluctuations on some of my cards in the 50+ range

for instance my 5830 is going down to 283 than up to 360
my 5870's dont seem to be fluctuating as much as that but are fluctuating more than usual
same with the 6870's, and 5850's

any ideas?

FYI as I migrated to 1.6.2 from 1.6.1 and 1.6.0, my U went up from 4.0 to 4.2 and 4.4 respectively. Great job ck, I am really impressed highly appreciate your efforts (in spite of the persistent curses bug lol).

There is something I find weird in 1.6.1/2 though. Does this E indicator actually make sense? The total E indicator seems to work properly.

Code:

 [P]ool management [G]PU management [S]ettings [D]isplay options [Q]uit
 GPU 0: [313.7 / 313.8 Mh/s] [Q:2  A:858  R:8  HW:0  E:42900%  U:4.39/m]

Thanks for positive feedback.

Major feature upgrade in the works. Somewhat below the radar and invisible at the moment, but available in the new git branch adl_support till it's complete.

Thanks, I figured it out, it was missing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH which the script seems to need if you want to launch it without starting it from an existing terminal window. As for the script starting 4 instances of AMDOverdriveCtrl, I had to run that script directly instead of via a new terminal, and then apparently it works fine without terminal windows and without exiting. Some fine hours wasted nitpicking, but finally it works, time to move her to the basement and get a good (silent) night sleep.

If it can be of help to anyone, here are my scripts (modify, launch via start.sh and run 'directly', not in a new terminal):

start.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
./oca.sh &
sleep 5
gnome-terminal -x bash -c "./miner1.sh" &
gnome-terminal -x bash -c "./miner2.sh" &

oca.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
AMDOverdriveCtrl -i 0 gpu1.ovdr &
AMDOverdriveCtrl -i 10 gpu2.ovdr &
AMDOverdriveCtrl -i 3 gpu3.ovdr &
AMDOverdriveCtrl -i 4 gpu4.ovdr &

miner1.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH":/path/to/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/lib/x86_64/"
cgminer -d 0 -c cfg.json --submit-stale

miner2.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH":/path/to/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/lib/x86_64/"
cgminer -d 1 -d 2 -d 3 -c cfg.json -I 8 --submit-stale

Linux and Unix os's are build up around a few very easy concepts which makes them quite predictable.
I almost only work with Linux in commercial environments so i do not have any experience with Ubuntu...

Nevertheless its almost impossible to answer the question w/o knowing the output of the doubleclicked .sh file
seeing your script and maybe an "ls -l" of the directory where cgminer is located.

One reason might be that the user you are logged into X with does not have the correct permissions to access cgminer.
At least that is where i could but my 2 bitcents w/o knowing more.

Either use an option to point it to the kernels or add a cd /path/to/cgminer before the line starting the binary.

Use a wrapper utility such as start-stop-daemon, suppress all output with 'really-quiet' flag.

Thanks, however the script already does that, it cd's to the cgminer dir and then ./ starts it with a config file argument, also located in the same directory. I suppose I'm asking in the wrong place, since I also have the same problem with a script that starts 4 instances of AMDOverdriveCtrl. The scripts both work fine when launched from an existing terminal (./script). It just doesn't work when I call the scripts from another script (or start-up script) or when I try to double-click it and select run in terminal. *sigh* Why is linux always such a b*tch, there ought to be a Steve Jobs for the linux community, to simplify these overly complicated, very basic tasks.

I don't know if I could use start-stop daemon, since I have to launch two instances of cgminer each with different parameters. Thanks for the heads-up though.

I wrote a dead-simple shell script to start cgminer, and it works, but the peculiar thing is that it starts up fine from an existing terminal, but it won't start if I just double-click the script and select run in terminal, or when I add it to Ubuntu start-up applications (or try to call it from another script). It didn't work before on Linuxcoin and now I'm still having this problem with Ubuntu. I've looked around everywhere but I can't find a working fix, any hints?
