Gents,
Thanks for excellent work. This distro looks very promising. I am trying to migrate my rig from Windows to nvOC and I have couple of questions in this regard. Below is my rig's configuration.
7xGTX 1080 (GIGABYTE) (Suppose to work with nvOC)
1xRX580 (XFX) (Will I be able to make RX580 work along with my nVidia cards?)
ASRock H110 BTC+
2x PSUs = Cougar 1200w and Corsair 850w
Monitor: HP Envision 17"
I am using a DVI-D to VGA converter to connect monitor with GTX 1080 card.
Challenge 1: I tried several versions and community builds but none works and Rig keeps rebooting after giving X Org error. It states my monitor is connected with onboard VGA which is not the case I am connecting the monitor with GTX 1080 and right now that is the only external card connected with my Rig. I tried different settings in BIOS but nothing works and nvOC keeps rebooting. Could someone help me out here. I downloaded "nvOC 19-2.0" and prepared the USB with it but I am still facing this XOrg issue and rig reboots, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Challenge 2: I want to use SSD instead of a USB drive. Could someone guide me on that. I tried burning the image on SSD and booting with it but rig goes into reboot loop because of XOrg and miner never launches.
Thanks all.
Cant you connect directly with HDMI?
Hi Papampi,
I can't use HDMI as my monitor is an old VGA monitor and I have a DVI-D to VGA converter which I am using. Do you think an HDMI to VGA converter will solve this problem? Not sure if I can procure one right away.
Cant say for sure you should try and see how it goes
May be other users has more experience with these converters...
Unplug RX580, amd cards are not supported with nvOC. In bios disable the on-board video (iGPU). Connect the monitor to GPU0 - the card that is connected to x16 PCIe slot (the long one) and give it a try.
Hi leenoox,
RX580 is unplugged, the only plugged card is GTX 1080. The 1080 is connected with the first slot next to CPU/Fan. I will move the connection to the long slot. I will try to disable the internal GPU tonight and will update.
On the other hand please share your thoughts on configuring the system in headless mode, for example, enable Teamviewer in 1Bash, login into the system remotely using SSH and configure teamviewer via command line and login to system via teamviewer and get the GUI and run the miner and never connect the system to an external monitor. . Is that supported with nvOC?
