Have you connected the monitor to the integrated graphics on the mobo?  Do you have an nvidia GPU on your rig?  What components are you using.

Hello anyone can help me im stuck on log in when i try to enter the password screen just blink and back to log in

I will test the newer driver and use it for the next version if it is better.

Hi, fullzero.

First of all - thanks for your work.

You are using 17.10 AMD driver in your build. But latest AMD driver for RX series is 17.30. Does it make sense to use latest version of driver?

try running updates:

Click Ubuntu button on top left and type:

u

Click on software updater

Install updates

Reboot

go to the top left and type


then click on startup applications

unselect boot or mining (I don't remember what I named it off the top of my head)

you can also open 2unix and  comment out the line:


by adding a # to the front of it.

Ensure you have the monitor connected to the primary 16x slot closest to the CPU. 

Thanks for making a guide; saves time everytime.

Hello,
The causes can be many, it is really hard to tell, I wasnt able solve the problem with this OS so I moved to Windows.
From the experience I have, a main diferrence between Windows and Linux is the driver, when linux amd driver cannot load a GPU, it fails and stops booting, Windows, in contrast, boots anyway and it hits you with a error message in the device manager o simply doesnt recognize the card.
I know that the main cause of blank screen when enabling 4G, is due to the amd driver not working properly.
What I think it could happened to me, some risers worked unstably and caused driver failures.
When you try to solve mining related issues, you have to make sure that the risers are working, otherwise you will get some errors that will be problematic to identify.
Probably nvidia drivers work different to amd.

Hi,

Got the same problem here.

I'm using MSI Z270-A PRO, when I enable above 4g memory in BIOS, I get that broken screen as in the link posted by Zucca. All my GPUs are Saphire RX 580.

Interesting enough, I used the same board with nvOC and 6x1080ti and did not have the problem. I'm using the latest BIOS.

Also another problem only in rxOC is that the Ubuntu doesn't recognize the network adapter on the mainboard. Worked fine on nvOC, only broken on rx0C. Any ideas?

Hi.

Have two questions.

1. How I can boot without onebash? In pure linux.

2. Are any debugging mechanisms exist? After 1st boot have clean black screen - need to determine reason.

This is 1st time loading rxOC...

If anyone is interested here is my MiningPoolHub setup for rxOC -
MPH auto adds your workers so you don't even have to go and set them up first...

# MPH (MININGPOOLHUB)
 
COIN="MPH"

MPH_WORKER="$IP_AS_WORKER"
MPH_ADDRESS="WhatEver"
MPH_POOL="us-east.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:12020"  (This is the auto-switching port)


if [ $COIN == "MPH" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/eth/Genoil/ethminer'
ADDR="$MPH_ADDRESS.$MPH_WORKER"
$HCD -S $MPH_POOL -O $ADDR:x -G
fi

You can edit this last part if you want Claymore....
If your using Nvidia and nvOC make sure to see Scott Alfter's awesomeness at https://gitlab.com/salfter/mph_switch

Mining some SIGT on rxOC with 3 AMD R9 390's




Now to do some calcs on whattomine and see if this is even profitable lol...if so take all the other rigs over

Figured it out. For anyone at home playing along here it is -

First blow away any sgminer folder you have

A: sudo rm -rf sgminer
B: Go get the new sgminer with skunk  - sudo git clone https://github.com/tpruvot/sgminer.git
C: Jump in the sgminer folder - cd sgminer
D: sudo git submodule init
E: sudo git submodule update
F: sudo autoreconf -i
G: sudo CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure
H: sudo make

Now go set up 1bash for SIGT and go get some

Guessing based on your errors:

clone or download:


and place the contents in the

directory and try again

Ok thanks...I think this will do it

https://github.com/tpruvot/sgminer

Testing...

Nope failed on make again. I just don't understand enough linux to install this stuff.

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config libtool libncurses5-dev
sudo git clone https://github.com/tpruvot/sgminer.git
cd sgminer
sudo ./autogen.sh
sudo ./configure
sudo make

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

ccminer is for Nvidia GPUs only.

I would use whatever OS works best for you.  If you mod your bios with the windows settings you normally use; in most cases linux will then work better.

@Fullzero -

Can you give some instructions on installing all the flavors of ccminer on the RXoc build? I tired it myself but got errors when running "make" about cuda. Kind of a linux noob here, but I wanna try mining some of the new SIGT coin.

Thank you

Oops sorry was thinking Windows when I wrote that. Claymore  does't support clock speeds on Linux. Although I don't need these tools as I bios modded a million cards I will definitely check out OhGodATool for the future.

I did some quick tests with the numbers I know from Windows 10 that I used in MSI Afterburner. In Ubuntu I got at the beginning almost the same hashrates as in Windows, but unfortunately Claymore hangs after 5 minutes because of OpenCL errors. Next week I finally have some more free time and will experiment a bit more with the bios to get higher hashrates. I'm getting 23,4 Mh/s now and in Windows 10 I got about 28,5 Mh/s so that's a 30 Mh/s difference with a 6 card rig. But Windows is not an option anymore with my AMD cards, it was giving me a lot of headache



That sounds great for future implementation. You are right about Claymore, I tried -cclock and -mclock but it does nothing.
