UPDATE TO UBUNTU 18.04--

I updated after configuring the release upgrade from the keyboard.  I then connected from remote via SSH, and repeated the steps outlined above.  The update completed without a system hangup, and then rebooted.

On reboot, nvOC did not start the miner.  I issued "nvOC start", and received this response:

       "m1@m1-desktop:~$/home/m1/NVOC/mining/nvOC start
        Restarting nvOC tasks....

        Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
        # Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:
       m1@m1-desktop:~$"

I will go into the miner directory and set up a standalone start script; but I would like to set the system straight so that it can talk to itself.  Any suggestions?       --scryptr

P.S.  -- NOTE:  When towards the end of the update, I was given an ASCII (colored text) command prompt asking what to do with the "grub" script.  I had several choices.  I could keep the original, use the new grub supplied by the package manager, merge the two or three grub scripts, open a window to edit them, and etc.

I chose to keep the original.  The SSH session continued and scrolled through all the actions until it ended.  No big errors popped up.  I rebooted at the final prompt, and the system restarted.       --scryptr

P.P.S. -- I went to the keyboard and noticed that the monitor had no display.  The monitor reported "no signal".  However, via SSH, my miner is running just fine.  Further, if I open up the webpage/API display at the miner LAN address, the information is displayed properly.  The readout reports that I am running UBUNTU 18.04.

Any clues?       --scryptr

Updates are usually disabled in nvOC,
So you need to open up "Software & Updates"
Check mark the updates in "Ubuntu Software" section and also in "Updates" section check mark them all
Also in "Updates" section , the last part is "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" select "For long term support version"
When you click close it will reload and should notify of new release

UPGRADE STEPS FOR UBUNTU 16.04--

After a quick web search, I pulled up the following steps:

Steps to upgrade Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04

    1) Login to Ubuntu box.
    2) Patch current system by running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade.
    3) After reboot make sure either UFW firewall is temporarily disabled or TCP port 1022 is open.
    4) To upgrade Ubuntu 18.04 LTS from 16.04 LTS run sudo do-release-upgrade.

I'll try this and report my results.       --scryptr

Quick answer: upon updating, upgrading, and rebooting, I issued "sudo do-release-upgrade".  The message in return was "no upgrade found". 

What do you suggest?  Is there a setting that I need to change?       --scryptr

If I remember correctly some older miners needed libcurl3 which is changed to lubcurl4 in Ubuntu 18.04
Other than that there should be no problem.

@PAPAMPI:  IS IT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE FROM 16.04 TO 18.04?  HOW? --

I have two rigs runnning on the last (...v3.2) release with Ubuntu 16.04.  They are very stable, and I have been able to upgrade the miners that I use and tweak 1bash in minor ways.

I'd like to do a system upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 without destroying a stable system.  How should I proceed?

Many thanks in advance...       --scryptr

Stop nvOC mining:


Make sure nvidia repo is enabled in ubuntu software sources.
Install latest from ubuntu software & updates, Additional Drivers section or:


reboot.

How can I upgrade nvidia drivers.
gtx 1660 does not recognize super graphics cards.

Hi,
Is AION still supported on the new version?  I upgraded to 3.2 and I'm getting LAUNCHING: (coin: AION, algo: UNDEFINED)
I added the lines below on 1bash.

COIN="AION" 
EQUIHASH_COINS="AION,.....
EQUIHASH_MINER="EWBF"
 
# AION
AION_ADDRESS="xxxxxxx"
AION_EXTENSION_ARGUMENTS=""
AION_POOL="cluster.aionpool.tech"
AION_PORT="2222"
AION_WORKER="011"
AION_POOL_PROTOCOL="stratum+tcp"

nvOC is working very good and mining what ever you need 24/7 no issues.

Almost everything is working, so not very much to change. Miners get updated when needed but people can easily get new miners running by themselves so no frequent changes to code are needed. There is some little work done in 3.3-dev but nothing big. You (all) are free to push some contributions if you have some good ones in your mind.

Hello everyone
Is the project still active?
I didn't see a lot of activity recently
Cheers

You need to connect through primary gpu, not integrated one. Reinstall from scratch with integrated graphics disabled (check BIOS settings).

Please post the details you currently have for MTP and the pool you want to mine it with, I'll try my best to get it sorted.

If MTP is there already you only need to define  coin settings, eg address, pool and so on.

In the 1bash file I already had the mtp algorithm added, the xzc coin is indicated as the mtp algorithm coin - xzc, the miner for the mtp algorithm is cryptodredge. 
However, mining does not start. 

For mining beam coin, I added BEAM_OPTS="--ssl 1"
And  - -algo beamhash


what needs to be added for mining xzc?

ZXC is not included in the default template, you need to add as usual. Look at previous page about BEAM, it's the same with every coin. Everything is documented in the help text in 1bash, you have examples and explanations for each section you need to touch when adding new coins, algos or miners.

Gpu 1080 and 1080ti the miner at startup writes that the algorithm is not defined, maybe you need to specify some algorithm parameter in addition?

Can you elaborate on the problem that you are facing with it?
Which GPUs are you using to mine XZC?
GPUs need at least 5GB VRAM to mine XZC with MTP algorithm.

Hello.

I can't run mining zcoin (xzc). Cryptodredge (0.18.0) and T-Rex (0.14.6) don't run. Can you help me?

Guys, anyone using nicehash? been on wtm switching for too long, wanted to switch to nicehash but mining doesn't start!
