Hello

I want to configure a computer with linux, for my 4GB gpus (as long as they last) I have tried it with ubuntu 20.04.1 lts (the newest), I installed official drivers, the newest, but the miner does not even start xDD

In the end I used a pendrive with simplemining and it works, but I would like to have access to my own platform, as I have always done with windows.

Could someone give me some tips on what linux to use? And what drivers, I would be very grateful.

The truth is that linux I have used little, it has usually been in virtual machines to test the distribution and it is the first time that I face a serious installation and I am lost.

best regards!!! : )

if you run the miner outside of the root, you need to add the user to the video group:

Code:

sudo useradd USERNAME video

also the following packages must be installed and are sufficient for a headless farm:

Code:

amdgpu-core_20.30-1109583_all.deb
amdgpu-dkms_5.6.5.24-1109583_all.deb
amdgpu-dkms-firmware_5.6.5.24-1109583_all.deb
amdgpu-pro-core_20.30-1109583_all.deb
clinfo-amdgpu-pro_20.30-1109583_amd64.deb
libdrm2-amdgpu_2.4.100-1109583_amd64.deb
libdrm-amdgpu-amdgpu1_2.4.100-1109583_amd64.deb
libdrm-amdgpu-common_1.0.0-1109583_all.deb

Have you tried the good drivers from page 1.

Good drivers. These are versions from 18.12.1.1 to 19.7.5 (inclusive), and from 19.12.2 to 20.8.1 (inclusive). These will allow you to mine until DAG epoch 372-373 and won't need restart of PhoenixMiner on each DAG epoch change.

+1 would appreciate if someone share their setup

ill post this again.... how to provision intel mobos for mining...

set VTd INTEL VIRTUALIZATION to DISABLE.
set ONBOARD AUDIO/SOUND (AZALIA) to DISABLE.
set IEEE1394 to DISABLE.
set PCI-E SUBSYSTEM/LANES to x8/x4/x4
set ONBOARD GRAPHICS to DISABLE.
set PCI-E GENERATION to GEN2.
set CPU FREQUENCY SCALING to DISABLE.
set CPU PERFORMANCE MODE to ENABLE.
set FAST BOOT to DISABLE.
set CSM to ENABLE.

set ONBOARD GRAPHICS to DISABLE... This is wrong! Integrated graphics should be always on, or your first card have to do this job, which means less hashrate.

Why you wasting a monitor on a rig...all of mine are headless...ssh is all i need.

Has anyone received the error Allocating buffers failed with: clCreateBuffer (-61).

Using Ubuntu 20.4 and amdgpu-pro-20.30-1109583-ubuntu-20.04 driver

Thanks

Use 19.30 to have optimized kernels...

Is that going to fix this problem? That sounds more like a hashrate problem? TRM runs fine with full hashrate on this driver however TRM does not have fan controls...

I'm using HiveOS and yesterday PhoenixMiner(or any miner) does not detect any GPUs, but in HiveOS all GPU's(10 RX's) are detected? It was working the day before. anyone encountered this?

happened to me with my 2060 super , maybe i forget was Gen1 not work in bios
go to bios set everything auto , link speed etc.... all auto

Has anyone been able to get Phoenix working on Ubuntu? I have it working however I cannot get the AMD pro driver's installed so it will not recognize any GPUs

I am using ./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=legacy,rocm --headless and it locks up at 96% on Building initial module for 5.4.0-42-generic....any ideas?

I am using Ubuntu 20.04.1 and ive tried the 20.30 and 20.40 drivers

Thanks

You need 4Gb more system RAM (i use 8Gb) for build module. amdgpupro-20.30+ may allocate dag file over 4gb, tested on phoenix -bench 390 on RX580 8Gb (4.15 Gb allocated...), mining without errors but hashrate unstable, TRM more stable with this driver version.

You sure you need that much system memory for Ubuntu? I remember a few years back I was building rigs during the profitable days of 2017 mining and I found myself run out of system ram on my last rig. Basically had everything except 2GB sticks of ram, system only had 2GB. So I tried Claymore and at the time the DAG was maybe 2.5-3.0GB or so and it wouldn't work.

I decided to try out Ubuntu and see if it will work with only 2GB of ram, figured I had nothing to lose. So I tried it and it actually worked. Was able to mine on 2GB of system RAM on a DAG larger than 2GB. So it might be possible to mine with 4GB of ram as long as its Linux instead of Windows.

8Gb system memory need only for build last amdgpu module (20.10, 20.20, 20.30, 20.40), mining working with 2Gb but i have 4Gb modules on other my rig's.

I am not following what the DAG has to do with building the initial module as how would the driver's know you are mining. Many other software suites use opencl/compute besides mining?

I'm just talking about the fact that when assembling the next new amdgpu module on my PC with ubuntu, the build process ended with an error, after looking at the build log, I will see a message that the system memory is not enough, I was surprised, but after increasing the amount of RAM on this PC the module compiled.
About the dag file. the amd drivers had a restriction on creating a buffer in memory of more than 4GB, and since driver version 20.30 there is no such restriction, I checked it personally on version 20.30 and PhoenixMiner-5.1c with the -bench 390 parameter.

Does Phoenixminer plan the same as the Lolminer? So mining will be possible with a reduced speed until February 2021? Btw, WHEN is ETC going to cut the DAG size? Is there any supposed date for this? Thanks!

Around 2nd December 2020, so I guess soon (2-3 epochs from now) 4GB card's owners will need to find another ethash coin to mine until we can mine ETC again. Any recommendations guys? Maybe if we switch together into one coin we can bump up the price a bit
