64-bit Lubuntu based Linux for Nvidia 1000 series cards (370.28 driver)



Most Important Statement:
If you are not familiar with linux - still there is no problem at all, because Midnight Commander
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Commander ) is installed for you.
Become root via "sudo su - ", then type: mc
And edit configuration files in /etc/kopiemtu via F4. And reboot! ('two-minutes" setup, real Plug&Play )

New v3.0 !!! (Long Term Support) ! (7-Zip archive 3.5 GB):

New in v3.0: Cuda 8.0 + 370.28 driver with O/C
"Added the ability to over- and under-clock certain GeForce GPUs in the GeForce GTX 1000 series and later"
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/107408/en-us

and:
- compact size (should fit on all 16GB pendrives)
- Lubuntu 16.04.1 based
- temperature and fan ranges on Master rig
- many small improvements


       


Pendrive creation (16GB is necessary) - you can use for example:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
(or 'dd' command in Linux for using all your USB ports simultaneously)

If you have DHCP server in your network and headless PC - use any ssh client to connect (check your router logs for new assigned IP):
login: root
password: live

From GUI - just open LXTerminal and type:
sudo su -


Quick Guide:

Configuration files: /etc/kopiemtu/
Set your pools, workers, passwords properly here - and whole hashrate mines for you only and forever.
(do not edit miner.conf - edit other files and use 'mine switch' )

mine switch|start|stop|status
monitor start|stop|status

(read: /root/README.txt)



Master rig only commands:

mmit - master mine start
mmip - master mine stop
mmis - master mine status
mmih - master mine switch

mmot - master monitor start
mmop - master monitor stop
mmos - master monitor status

To convert normal rig into master rig, edit /root/.master.conf, and:
mv /root/.master.conf /root/master.conf

Then reboot and read: /root/README.txt
