Hi guys,

Sling00 here from the pimp dev team..

To answer some of your questions:

1.5.5 & bootmining:

Well, crontab caught us in a catch22, as such we are moving away from crontab for controlling miner startup.

Graphing issue: known issue but does not affect all machines, again 99% related to crontab, this is also moving to a daemon.

Farmview: x11mod miner breaks farmview. so farmview probably will not work properly when using these profiles, and possibly some newer builds of sgminer.

Never fear though, something much better for farm overview is coming soon (~1 week) and a pimpupdate will replace farmview and install the new solution for you

I don't get on here alot and post, however if you have any questions needing a quick response come join us on IRC. Freenode #pimp is the best way to get ahold of most of us.

Thanks for your continued support!

Hi, I hope someone can help,

I've been running PiMP 1.5.5 14.4 for a couple of days now, mining X11, and most things seem great, except for a couple of issues.

I'm seeing a huge number under the "Discarded" value on the pool stats screen, and this number is constantly growing. I don't know what this means, and it's a bit worrying. I'm confused though, as everything else seems fine, the pool I'm mining at is registering my hashrate, my balances on my miner stats page there are growing, I got paid this morning, I have no HW errors and my rejects are low.

So what could that number mean, and do I need to worry about it?

Here's the screenshot:

//cutoff

The second issue is relatively minor, my graphs aren't updating, and it's been over 24 hours, are they bugged, or do I need to do anything?

Many thanks!

Never noticed that for more than 2 weeks of using PIMP, but its same here. But because everything is OK I think that are stales or work discarded due expire. As for the graphs - I never had this issue, did You try to restart rig? 2 minutes of downtime is not big deal, until You want to make record Wink

Thanks @ all Pimp devs, everything is working like a charm !

One question, I have multiple rigs all connected to the same network, but the farm option doesn't show up, if there's something to change in options to manage all rigs within the same page ?

I need to disable the autologin, how can I do that? I do not want a root GUI open all the time. I need the GUI to stay at a login screen. How?

or is there a setting or package to install to lock the desktop right after system starts? xscreensaver or anything?

And why would you need such an option, when PIMP/SMOS/BAMT are made to work best in headless mode? Make good root password, so no one can log to miners remotely and you are good. I am sure you would have serious problems in running miners while logged off.

My mining rig is running in a datacenter, away from me and I do not want a curious datacenter personnel to attach a monitor and see an unlocked root desktop. it's a security risk.

anyway, I've solved that problem. The miner needs logged in desktop to run, so I've installed xautolocak and slock packages from debian repos and added these two lines in /root/.fluxbox/startup file:

xautolock –time 1 –locker slock &
su root -c slock

Now the rig boots and immediately locked, when I attach a monitor all I see a blank screen. This is enough security. I need to enter root password from keyboard to see the desktop.

Well hello there!

Have been using PiMP to mine DRK on my little ole Asus 7870 for about a week straight now without incident.

Shall try 1.4.2 on 2-3 miners. Sorted connection problems, found solution on forums. Also after some time pool manager stops to lag and is very reasonable, and farmview is working too. Didn't know problem is in banner, shall delete it when I find time. But question is: why did we receive update for 1.5.5 that says it fix things when it does not? Anyway, I like it on first sight and shall try it, with hope 1.5.5 will be polished in few days. I like thought every miner I had to install manually in SMOS/BAMT, here I receive with simply "pimpupdate". Good work, if I find it usefull after 7-10 days, shall donate to contribute to project.

And 1.4.2 ......., slow interface.............

Cause the banner code in status.pl
It pools adv pics from the outsource every time you update the page
Just 'nano' it a bit..

Farmview does not work too. And 1.4.2 has connection problems on boot sometimes, slow interface... Have to stick with SMOS till some stable release.

Installed pimp 1.5.5 today. Mining won't autostart. Is there some bug I can solve or is autostart broken?

Read the "KNOWN BUGS IN 1.5.5"
http://getpimp.org/changelog.html

Try:
* Auto Mine on Boot is not working reliably. To Fix: chmod a-x /opt/pimp/viewgpu2.sh

but for me it didn't fix the problem..

Release 1.4.2 is better for now

I just downloaded it and had a go, I have to say;-

Nice Job Guys!

I have to say, I have always been afraid to deal with GPU's and ADL because of the licensing/complexity (plus I have limited enough time Wink

) but what you guys have down certainly does the job well.

P.S. is "THERE ARE NO HIDDEN DONATION SCHEMES IN THIS OPERATING SYSTEM" a thinly veiled swipe at me? Tongue

If I were to use a wireless adapter with PiMP (namely a TP-Link adapter, not sure the exact model, but I know it works under Ubuntu right out of the box) is there a good chance it would work? When I tried it with BAMT IIRC it didn't work.

Yes, most adapters work without issue... That brings me back to my last post, I am eager to ditch BAMT because of that reason, I have to reinstall pretty often because of my crappy USB sticks, and I have to manually reinstall my wifi driver every time. PiMP detected it straight away and it took all of 1 minute to get set up and running headless.

Sup fellow PiMPs, I also wrote on the Facebook page as well.. After tons of testing and frustration I have found that I cannot achieve the hashrates on my 79xx's with PiMP that I can on BAMT 1.4 (catalyst 12. Cool

. I've tested all kinds of mining configs and kernels just to be certain, but after a few days of back and forth I am convinced that I won't be able to achieve my previous hashrates unless Catalyst 12.8 drivers are present. I tried installing them myself manually into PiMP, but ended up making more trouble and breaking stuff. I'm sure I could get it right with a lot more experimenting but I just don't have the time. Would anyone be kind enough to throw together a version with 12.8 for us legacy PiMPs? With BAMT 1.4 and the drivers and miner it contains, I'm getting a consistent 40k more per card than I can squeeze out of PiMP, so it's not a hugely significant loss but it does add up!

Thanks for reading!

Not having much luck with PIMP 1.4.2 on an Asrock H81 Pro BTC motherboard with 6 Sapphire 270's using powered PCI-E USB risers. After boot up xorg shoots the CPU up to 100% for about 3 minutes. Then I get the following fault. I can RDP into the desktop.

Code:

Also, when starting any miner they lock up after printing out "Starting miner". A kill -9 will not even kill them. I have to reboot the machine. This machine worked fine using the SMOS distro. Any ideas?

FYI: Pimp 1.5.5-amd-14.4 version fixed the issues with the above box. Now happily mining on Nicehash X11/X13 auto-switching pool.
