Re: Ubuntu Natty Narwhal 11.04 Mining Guide / HOWTO

darkpandora,

Try using the GUI to re-edit and save your 6990 config. Seems like it might be exploding when it tries to load it - maybe a stray > or some other character somewhere?

Also - can you set the values you want for your 6990 with aticonfig? If the values are a bit wonky, I'd imagine AMDOverDriveCtrl might take a dive trying to set them.

SchizophreniX,

Double check your arguments. poclbm and phoenix have *VERY* different ways of defining username, password and host. Did you possibly fat finger the phoenix line? It should be something along the lines of -u http://username:password@thepooladdress.com:8332

poclbm lets you use the --user, --pass, --server, --port method.

i cannot re edit in the GUI because the 4870x2 is on pci-e slot 1 and 6990 is on pci-e slot 4. when i run amdoverdriverctrl gui i can only see and edit 4870x2 profile.

Try opening two new guis for for the 6990 gpus from cli. In your case, this is:

Code:

AMDOverdriveCtrl -i 4
AMDOverdriveCtrl -i 9

Each command opens a new gui for each gpu on the 6990. You can then edit the profile/s via the gui and save it/them. I keep two profiles for mine since one gpu runs hotter than the other.

i think i have 32bit, it dont say that its 64.. my ubuntu is 64bit.. but when i try to download amdoverdrivectrl 64bit i get some kind of error from the site. do you know where i can download amdoverdrivectrl from a legit site?
thanks.
