I didn't change any IPv6 settings with nvOC.  I'm not sure what the problem might be.  If you figure it out let me know, so I can apply it for the next version.

The cmd:

Code:
sudo dhclient -v -r

(might help solve the problem, but probably not)

As you guessed, it didn't help.

there is a website:

test-ipv6.com

it attempts to help you identify the source of IPv6 problems; it might help, but probably will only tell you what you already know.

I tried bringing this up in Links, but it needs JavaScript to work.  I'd need to move the rig closer to where I can plug in a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to see what SJWfox says...maybe tomorrow, as I also want to move nvOC off of an SD card in a USB reader stick to the mining rig's M.2 SATA SSD.

In the meantime, I've gotten enough of a workaround set up that (1) apt-get upgrade works and (2) I have an auto-switcher up and running, as mentioned in my previous post.

It will be nice when there is no more NAT to deal with; although there will need to be better parameter security.

This afternoon, I knocked together a simple profitability auto-switcher that works with nvOC and NiceHash:

https://gitlab.com/salfter/nvoc-nicehash-switcher

It might also work if you're mining elsewhere, though profitability is determined by NiceHash (as exposed through their API).  It's a Python script that gathers information about what's profitable and calls shell scripts to reconfigure overclocking settings and launch miners on a per-algorithm basis.  It replaces oneBash for normal operation; oneBash is only needed for initial setup or to add/remove GPUs (it manages /etc/X11/xorg.conf).

Nice work  Smiley

I will integrate this into the next oneBash / v0018. 

I will keep your default BTC address and ensure it is clear you implemented the instantaneous profit switching algorithm.

I do think with when using different algos in makes sense to have different clocks; however I don't think the settings for those should be spread out over a bunch of different bash files.

I will bring all the settings inside oneBash and make a:

SALFTER_NICEHASH_PROFIT_SWITCHING="YES"    YES / NO switch

Using your implementation; it should only require a few modifications to implement other targets such as 'lowest difficulty out of a given set of coins' and more. 

Thanks for providing another tool to the community,  Smiley

This is an AWESOME idea! I was curious though, do you really make more it being converted to BTC right away or mining the coins directly? Anyone with some feedback would be greatly appreciated.
