Quick update: I just checked dmesg and it says the BE is registering as a GSM MODEM, WHAT THE HELL?
Sounds like maybe a new model BE - although I'm not sure why it'd claim to be a modem.
Can you paste the exact lines from dmesg?
Code:
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for generic
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core

Also here's a debug log I get when I try out my old args.

Seems like I'm missing something to detect the BE, Hmmm.

Disable / remove modemmanager.  Unless of course you use it for some reason.

apt-get / aptitude purge modemmanager on debian/derived systems.  I did this on my ubuntu machine before my Jalapeños arrived.
This is a RT-N16 with ASUSWRT Merlin, I tried disabling the USB Modem feature in the web GUI but it still detects it as a Modem. Ugh. I'm pretty sure I can't remove it as it's part of the firmware package.

Sometimes man, just sometimes.....
Anyone else all of a sudden start having their ESET or other virus program start flagging BFG?  Was alwasy good, never had a problem before (but cgminer would get picked up).  Now here within the last week or so ESET is flagging BFG.
Report a false positive.

IMO, "antivirus" software that takes the easy way out by flagging commonly abused software as more than merely a warning, is itself malware.
They should be looking for the virus/trojan itself, not the common software they use.

True, I couldnt agree with you more.  I have a corporate ESET client and its password protected.  Now that its being flagged, I cant use it anymore.

I forgot to mention that this is a older 3.1.1 build, I'm pretty sure that doesn't work with this older build. I tried it anyways, It doesn't even show anything in putty.

Recently installed asuswrt-merlin on my RT-N16 and installed Entware and installed BFGminer pretty easy, problem is when I run the args
Code:
bfgminer -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u WORKER -p 123 -S all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100
It just blanks out putty and does nothing. Am I missing a step?


Is that for Block Erupter USB's? You don't need the icarus flags for them to run. If the Erupters are the only devices, you can use -S erupter:all and get a few more options, as LJR mentioned previously.

Wait, are you saying I have to be running Gentoo to have cpu mining run by default with bfgminer?

I thought I just used "--enable-cpumining"? Even without it, my miner fires up and mines TRC no problem. (I have other problems withother pools and other alt coins but thats bc of the learning curve for a n00b like me)

It's a fork of cgminer, isn't it?
It began as a fork of cgminer (a CPU/GPU miner), but not to be confused with the current cgminer, which has become a fork of BFGMiner for trolling reasons.

For "trolling reasons"? It couldve just been for teh lulz. It is always so difficult to distinguish
Refusal to collaborate "for teh lulz" is trolling.

Since you have a Mini Rig SC, I was wondering if it has a built in router/Linux like Avalon or you connect the 8 long boards to an internal USB hub and then connect that hub to a PC?
It has a Nexus7 builtin, but you can plug the USB into a Windows system just fine.

Can one PC handle three mini rigs?
If it's powerful enough (which really isn't that much).

ya i had the same problem when i  was only mining with 4, till i added the other 28, seems you can use the arrow keys up and down to scroll the miners list, also the important info stays up top hash rate/error rate /%/etc..

Hope this helps..

WAIT!!! You mean you hit the UP DOWN keys and you go...

UP OR DOWN!!!

I'm an idiot today....

Probably really dumb question here.  I'm running 94 Erupters/bfgminer 3.1.4/acer aspire netbook/ubunto 12.04.

How to list all the miners and their production?  the list truncates at screen length....

...so no way to know if some do not work or have errors...

Luke,

Since you have a Mini Rig SC, I was wondering if it has a built in router/Linux like Avalon or you connect the 8 long boards to an internal USB hub and then connect that hub to a PC?

Just wondering if it is possible to run one bfgminer on Windows to hook up 3 mini rigs.  Or do I need one separate PC per mini rig.
Can one PC handle three mini rigs?

Thanks,

-G -S all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100
You get some more functionality by using -G -S erupter:all

u mean this cmd line or: -G -S erupter:all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100
or only -G -S erupter:all
what is correct now ?

"-G -S erupter:all" works just fine.
