Linux FOREVER! Resistance is futile!!!
Code:
sudo apt install pip
sudo pip install requests

This should solve the WTM python problem
couldn't install pip: E: Unable to locate package pip
googled and installed python-pip, that was 8.x I upgraded to v10 and seemed to successfully install requests



Sorry, my mistake, it should have been python-pip

Made some changes to WTM_SWITCHER, try the new one from GitHub: WTM_SWITCHER
Then check if this gives any errors:

Code:
python2.7 /home/m1/WTM_SWITCHER /home/m1/WTM.json

Edit 2:
Does rxOC has screen installed?
We can try to run wtm in screen mode

Change oneBash wtm start command from guake to screen and see how it goes:

Code:
screen  -dmS wtm  bash /home/m1/wtm_auto_switch

If screen is not installed in rxOC bt default install with :
Code:
sudo apt install screen
After restart oneBash, run

Code:
screen -r wtm

This shows wtm switcher output, to get out of screen "ctrl a+d" (dont use ctrl+c)

I replaced the guake line in oneBash with your given screen line. I start the oneBash in a "main" screen:

Code:
m1@m1-desktop:~$ bash oneBash

The GPUs get set by rocm-smi as you can see. After that I expect the mining process to show up. I am trying to mine ZEC and switch to ETH. In these days of rxOC ETH/claymore starts up in own screen but ZEC just starts where the whole oneBash does. I also searched with ps-ef but no mining happens. here is wtm screen output:

I found these unary operator expected issues before. When I tried to split the oneBash into a new form of 0miner and 3main I also had these: Seems like somehow the format of oneBash is broken. The lines are blank but deleting them doesnt do anything.

Sorry for late reply

I will try to find the problem on oneBash, in the mean time install python request with:


Code:
sudo apt install python-pip
sudo pip install requests

This should solve the WTM python problem


Edit:
What happens when you run this command:

Code:
guake -n /home/m1/wtm_auto_switch -r WTM_AUTO_SWITCH -e "bash /home/m1/wtm_auto_switch"

Hi papampi,

I just had a try: it seems like there is no wtm_auto_switch running in the background after fireing up oneBash. with ps -ef | grep wtm I can't find any running process. Here is what the output of console is after I fire 'bash oneBash':

Code:

edit: I tried to manually launch 'bash wtm_auto_switch' manually. This seems to work without all those errors in the beginning, however, now I think the problem with this old oneBash starts to come up just like I had on several trys before:

Code:

LAUNCHING:  WTM AUTO SWITCH


workername: _38

rig IP: 192.168.178.38

For my example I start mining zclassic and should switch to ETH. When I start wtm_auto_switch, the mining process also starts in the same screen. After I cancel it:

Code:
ZEC: GPU0 321.837 H/s
Quit signal received...

Current Coin Algo:

My guess is that once someone decided to split the oneBash code into 0mining and 3main for a reason. After a while I can see this:

The AMD beta mining version has LESS support for older cards (not a big deal if you don't mix them with new stuff) than the current 17.50 release, and doesn't support underclock or undervolt at ALL as far as I can tell.
It also has widely reported issues with "doesn't work with VEGA", though there appear to be possible work arounds for those issues in some cases.


rxOC comes with block chain drivers(missed that in first post of this thread) version 17.10-429170.  Not sure there is much hope for older card, I believe on my regular non rxOC install AMDGPU-Pro worked with my older 7850 and R9-270X cards.  Looks like folks have had success getting VEGA working by installing latest kernels. As you know, the state of AMD drivers in Linux is not good.

How to add support for Claymore's ETH miner ver. 11.6 ?

I would to add latest claymores ETH miner in into current version rxOC : v_stopgap

What are the exact steps in order to add it ?

Two options - replace existing claymore miner with new miner or follow my gist above and replace ethcontrol with whatever miner you want. 
  • Download & install miner software
  • Add variables & miner run statement to onebash file

Hello All,

First off, big huge thanks to fullzero for creating this great mining OS.  Check out my recent gist post on how to incorporate EthControl mining control software from EthMonitoring website into rxOC stopgap version below. EthContol is a mining control/monitoring software. EhtControl downloads crypto mining software to your rig based on what configuration you have setup in the EthMonitoring website. You can also use the same steps taken to setup EthControl to incorporate other miners into rxoC oneBash script.  I am going to work on incorporating xmr-stak next. 

Software development is not in my wheelhouse, so please excuse any missteps I have taken.  Maybe we can create a fork of current development , and have the community test and provide vetted commits. I see in the first post that software upgrades have been disabled.  I have not gotten a chance to dig in yet, but how can we enable updates to get us to at Ubuntu Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS.  If anyone is interested in helping please hit me up on DM or Discord chat.

Incorporate EthControl

You HAVE to move to the AMDGPU drivers to use Ubuntu 16.04 or later, as the older fglrx drivers flat out are not supported - they actually got "unsupported" in 14.04.04 but you can "roll back" the XServer in THAT version to make them work again.
You also have to install the ROCm stack for OpenCL support, but oddly enough that seems to work on ANYTHING out of AMD that is GCN based - even the GCN-based APUs that the AMDGPU drivers themselves do NOT support like my A10-7890k and A10-7860 models.
The ROCm stack appears to offer ZERO support for pre-GCN cards at all, so forget about HD 6xxx and older or the early low-7xxx series cards (anything lower than the HD 7750) or the iGPU in AMD APUs that were pre-GCN like the A10-5700.

I'm actually not certain about the status on 14.10 15.04 or 15.10 but as those releases are no longer supported at all by Canonical there's no point in even looking at them.


rxOC is running 16.04.3, it is using amdgpu driver, and I do see shell scripts related to ROCm. We gotta make the move to AMDGPU-Pro Beta Mining Driver version, upgrade all miners installed, update oneBash script to include variables for new mners.

Hi guys, we have new AMD drivers, new Claymore version, new Ubuntu 18.04 coming...any hope of somebody to make a new versione of rxOS?

It's not rxOC (I haven't figured out how to get it working on a USB flash drive yet) but I've got a working XUbuntu 16.04 setup running with AMDGPU drivers.
It does some undervolt and substantial underclock with Polaris cards, but the R9 290 cards I've tried on it have no clock control at all (limitation of the bloody AMDGPU driver stack) and I'm not sure of the BIOS mods on those cards (TheStilt) is letting them undervolt.
I've not tested it on Vega as my only Vega card is in my gaming machine.

It does NOT allow use of an AMD iGPU as video output (MORE AMDGPU limitations, over 2 YEARS since AMD has supported any APU at all under LINUX) but the ROCm stack for OpenCL support DOES work on the iGPU of an A10 (for what that's worth).
It DOES allow fan control on everything I've thrown at it.
It's also not a fancy "one place setup" sort of thing, more of a "minimal install standard XUbuntu" type setup.


The main issue is that the AMDGPU driver stack is still a very poorly done and VERY incomplete "work in progress", to the point I actually recommend using Windows 7 instead of LINUX on Polaris cards BECAUSE of the junk drivers for LINUX.


...undervolt is very interesting, since I tried with mod. bios in polaris but it seems with nosuccess...and what kind of performance are you getting compared to rxOC? Can you share a link to it? TIA

I've never used rxOC so I can't compare to it.
I don't have a link to my "work in progress" at this point, possibly soon.

Optimally the next AMDGPU release will make it obsolete, as AMD has CLAIMED they're going to "add undervolt support" to it.

Hello All,

First off, big huge thanks to fullzero for creating this great mining OS.  Check out my recent gist post on how to incorporate EthControl mining control software from EthMonitoring website into rxOC stopgap version below. EthContol is a mining control/monitoring software. EhtControl downloads crypto mining software to your rig based on what configuration you have setup in the EthMonitoring website. You can also use the same steps taken to setup EthControl to incorporate other miners into rxoC oneBash script.  I am going to work on incorporating xmr-stak next. 

Software development is not in my wheelhouse, so please excuse any missteps I have taken.  Maybe we can create a fork of current development , and have the community test and provide vetted commits. I see in the first post that software upgrades have been disabled.  I have not gotten a chance to dig in yet, but how can we enable updates to get us to at Ubuntu Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS.  If anyone is interested in helping please hit me up on DM or Discord chat.

Incorporate EthControl

You HAVE to move to the AMDGPU drivers to use Ubuntu 16.04 or later, as the older fglrx drivers flat out are not supported - they actually got "unsupported" in 14.04.04 but you can "roll back" the XServer in THAT version to make them work again.
You also have to install the ROCm stack for OpenCL support, but oddly enough that seems to work on ANYTHING out of AMD that is GCN based - even the GCN-based APUs that the AMDGPU drivers themselves do NOT support like my A10-7890k and A10-7860 models.
The ROCm stack appears to offer ZERO support for pre-GCN cards at all, so forget about HD 6xxx and older or the early low-7xxx series cards (anything lower than the HD 7750) or the iGPU in AMD APUs that were pre-GCN like the A10-5700.

I'm actually not certain about the status on 14.10 15.04 or 15.10 but as those releases are no longer supported at all by Canonical there's no point in even looking at them.

can i use this to mine cryptonight for GPU, because i don't see
Code:
# ZEC  NICE  HUSH  ZEN  ZCL  MUSIC  ETC  EXP  ETH  DCR  PASC
# DUAL_ETC_DCR    DUAL_ETC_PASC    DUAL_ETC_LBC    DUAL_ETC_SC
# DUAL_EXP_DCR    DUAL_EXP_PASC    DUAL_EXP_LBC    DUAL_EXP_SC
# DUAL_ETH_DCR    DUAL_ETH_PASC    DUAL_ETH_LBC    DUAL_ETH_SC
# DUAL_MUSIC_DCR  DUAL_MUSIC_PASC  DUAL_MUSIC_LBC  DUAL_MUSIC_SC
only for CPU i think
Code:
# Mine XMR with CPU
plusCPU="NO"                # YES NO

Good afternoon, I set the miner to crontab to reset every day at the same time, the rig goes to retire, but freezes, and then I need to manually run the rig,Can anyone give me advice on this problem?

what do you mean with rig goes to retire? shuts down?

I guess so,  I did with my rx580s and I dont have that loop. What cards are you using?

I use a Sapphire Rx580 Pulse 8GB, now running with rxOS in one rig...I am doing experiments on another USB disk on my main PC, using QEMU...now tried to upgrade but cannot, missing libs and dependencies...which is the correct procedure for upgrading the driver? Step by step?
like:
1) uninstall amdgpu-pro ->reboot
2) enable sources in software update
3) upgrade the system ->reboot
4) install amdgpu-pro 17.50

Huh


not sure but i think i did the following:

sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get update
install amdgpu-pro like described on their website

i use the nitro+
