BFGminer for Debian from source:

Code:

apt-get update && apt-get install make screen mc autoconf libtool libncurses-dev yasm curl libcurl4-openssl-dev libjansson-dev pkg-config libudev-dev uthash-dev libusb-dev htop php5 apache2
wget http://beehost.org/bfgminer-3.1.4.zip
unzip bfgminer-3.1.4.zip
mv bfgminer-3.1.4 bfgminer
cd bfgminer && ./configure
make

Cheers

Thank you very much, but it says failed to open OpenCL drivers. I need it to work with ONLY BlockErupters. How to compile it with ICARUS only? I don´t use GPU. Thanks !

Yeah, there are so many 'monitor' web apps and real apps out there, you will find one that does what you want. I like CGWatcher for windows, as it relaunches CG/BFGminer whenever a card/fpga/asic/spotted kangeroo/etc dies. The web apps, tend not to do that, but they are more portable, and work on mac and linux too. So do the python ones, etc. Just do a search on this very subforum for monitor, and see which one you like the most...

Yes, you can set the window to any size wanted, but is there a way to get BFGMiner to display devices in two columns?

Part of BFGminer's design philosophy is to maximize stability and reliability. The program's user interface is kept deliberately minimal to reduce the chance of issues creeping in to what should be a rock-solid mining controller.

Having said that, there is nothing stopping you or anyone else from creating your own user interface having whatever features you want, simply by calling up the BFGminer API. That is why it is there: to allow people to customize their own user interface, monitoring interface, and control interface to the core core engine. And many have already done just that.

Adding 'bells and whistles' that serve very little practical purpose is not what this program is about. This is just a general statement, not meant as a direct comment to your specific question about dual-column display. I've never run more than 16 mining devices on an instance of BFGminer and I've always found its current GUI to be more than adequate.

right click on that window, choose the last option (I think its properties in english), then go to layout. There you can change window size and position. When you restart bfgminer it will use that new layout.

Hi Luke-Jr,

bfgminer crashes every day, when my internet connection gets a forced disconnect by the provider (the 24h disconnect is normal and is used to assign me a new ip-address. Comes from the "if you want a static ip-address, then pay more" philosophy).

I have a pc in lan, router with builtin dsl-modem, nat. The router reconnects automatically if the provider drops the connection.

This is the crash

-T is text only right? Not test.

What happens when you replace your -S with "-S erupter:all"

more than 90% run linux.... it's just that 90% of the trouble you see posted is from windows users Tongue

I know what -T does its the best way to see a debug output
but hay thanks for nothing.

@Luke-Jr or anyone that can help me.

I hope its ok I post this in here.

I have a usb Block Erupter that I run on my Gentoo-3.7.9 Linux box but I cant get it to run on bfgminer Huh

it runs on cgminer fine so its not a driver problem, I just don't like cgminer

I did a debug with -T -S /dev/bus/usb/001/007

I have looked all over the net for something that could help but like 90% of the ppl out there use usb Block Erupter with windows. Roll Eyes

one more thing I have tried bfgminer from the gentoo package system as well as compiling it on my own.
I also have a d-link DUB-H7 witch the Block Erupter is plugged into but I have also plugged the Block Erupter into usb port of the computer as well and got the same thing.

It looks like the address is resolving to 127.0.0.1 - which is your local machine. It may be that some AV software has blocked the site by adding it to your LMHOSTS file so it resolves to localhost (assuming you are using Windows)?

Sent my buddy a USB Miner to start mining... He's getting an error, "Do not have user privileges required to open //com1"

I'm not familiar with that issue... Any quick suggestions?

I usually get that when the driver failed to initialize the device or whenever I forget to turn on my internet connection.

BFGMINER works without having to install the drivers right? Isn't it plug and play? Been a long time since I set mine up... There also is most definitely an Internet connection.

While I'm on here, can anybody please tell me how to increase the default console size to full screen and show all my miners by scrolling through them. For the life of me, I couldn't figure it out. I'm a BFGMiner as well as a CLI console virgin, BTW.
