The cursor isn't supposed to move.  But don't know what to tell you otherwise.  Have you changed the password of the webgui?  I believe the system-level password (ie ssh) is sync'd with that.

Thank you very much. Yes, I did change the password for the webgui. I think I'm in now. But now what do I do now? Anyone know what command does what? As I've said before, I don't know anything about SSH, or linux for that matter.

Sorry guy for the problems, and the extra posts. Most of you guys are very helpful, so I've gotta ask :-) Thank you all in advance.



Also, now it doesn't seem to be mining. It started off at 38GH/s, then to 23, then to 16, then to 4, now to 2ghs and it all seems to be going to the "other" category on BTCGuild.

Unless you are trying to do something specific at the OS/filesystem level, you really shouldn't be mucking around IMHO.  Only bad things can happen Wink

Can you post a screen shot of the GUI and/or Putty window? Have you updated the firmware to .97 yet ?

somethings up.  I'm fighting with all my machines, someone hates me.
i switched my nonworking machines to eligius, now they work again... .Smiley


What was the pool that makes your miners freak out?
slush...and it was fine before,....huh

Hey Phoenix, I was working fine on Slush but I wanted to try Eligius so I switched. I ran with Eligius for about half a day and noticed I was getting better results with Slush so I switched back. Thats when all hell broke loose. Currently my Saturn will not mine with Slush anymore. I've cleared cache, reinstalled firmwares and nothing. But Eligius works fine, any ideas?
I just had the exact same experience, so...no...im still trying to get this sat up...there is a cold vrm...?...what to do?

Thanks for you input man. It turns out that Slush's pool was down all this time. It is still giving trouble to connect to. I will just stay on Eligius for now

Can't complain about that, we did it lol

Not great reading for Cointerra and Hashfast folks I imagine though.

it's normal for the password not to show as you are typing it..it's a security feature of Unix and Unix-like systems.  Just type "admin" and hit enter when prompted for the password.

As for "why don't they show everything in the interface"...ssh allows full unfettered access to the entire operating system.  It's kind of hard to do that from a web gui.  If you aren't comfortable with the linux cli..I wouldn't recommend you go poking around in there.


I tried both root and admin for username, and admin as password, but nothing works. It just tells me Access Denied. When I start to type the password, the courser doesn't even move. I don't think it's letting me type it in at all.

My Saturn got delivered 3 hours ago at home, and I'm stuck here at work Sad ... I can feel all the BTCBTCBTC walking away from my wallet every minute that passes... d.day (difficulty change) is today (approx. 8 hours from now). This sucks. Hope I don't run into any problems with the miner.

Sudden stomach flu.

must..... rush..... home..... NOW!

You have to enable ssh from the web gui initially

Also it's interesting that you seem to have a six-socket controller board.  I think most of us have been shipped 4-socket boards with the remaining 2 having empty surface mount points.

Well I feel a bit stupid now. I enabled "CGMiner Remote Management Enabled" and thought that would be it. Thank you. Now my other problem is it won't let me type anything in the password field. It asks for login as I put admin, but when it asks for the password, it won't let me type anything.

Ugh. Why don't KnC just show everything on their interface? -_-'

I think it came with FW 0.95. I'll try updating it to 0.97 and see how things go. I'm only getting 132GH/s at the BTC pool, and it's been almost an hour now.

Also though the ssh might not ship with the same username/password combo as the web interface's admin/admin combo, as I could not log into mine using ssh even after enabling ssh...

-MarkM-


The username for the webgui is "admin" and the username for ssh is "root"...both have a default password of "admin"  (it's in the online manual posted in the support section of knc site btw)

I know it's been discussed a few time about Putty, but I don't know ANYTHING about it, or the basics of SSH. I tried to enter the Saturn with Putty, but it's telling me ""Network error: Connection refused"

Anyone can offer some help? Or is there a specific post regarding SHH for KnCMiners?



Also, my Saturn came with the rear two slots populated instead of the front two (right behind the fan), anyone else that? I thought they would be right behind the fans in the front for better cooling.

ps, even at the server it is showing improved hash rate....thanks phoenix1969.

I also, what I noticed the with the increased heat the output current has increased...which is what I suspect as a culprit for some miners, or rather a low output is indicative of a problem.

But now with the temp rise, what has happened, the chip with disabled cores is down to just 1 disabled...

I've been tracking a similar line of evidence for the last couple of days through my experiments with BFGMiner and various firmware levels.  My theory is that on my underperforming board (and probably many others' out there) the issue is cracked solder ball joints due to the shipment of the machines with the heatsinks attached (soy, among others, have surmised the same so I'm not taking full credit on this idea).  All the jostling enroute flexed the boards causing the solder defects.  The higher temperatures allow some thermal expansion of the solder which might temporarily "glue" back together the microfractures allowing better connectivity.  The fact that the solder is also a bit softer at those temperatures may aid in that.  I'm not an industrial electronics engineer so maybe I'm talking out of my ass here, but that's the best explanation I can come up with so far.

That also means that it *might* be possible to repair the boards with the (in)famous cook-the-pcb-in-the-oven trick.



If that's true it's down to KNC badly packing them again, not supporting the heatsinks in transit.
