Hello guys.
I was using nvOC_v0019 for a couple of months and then I switched to nvOC v0019-2.0.
I like all the new features of nvOC v0019-2.0 but I have problems with stability.
The nvOC_v0019 lasted around 10 days without freezes but nvOC v0019-2.0 lasts only a day or two and then freezes. I went back to nvOC_v0019 and stability improved.
I use SSH to access the miner.
I have two questions:
1) Can you help me with a command that will copy 1bash from 8MB windows partition to the right place, that it will be used on startup (nvOC_v0019 has a problem that it doesn't copy 1bash on first start with HDD)
2) I suspect that the problem with nvOC v0019-2.0 is in newer drivers. Fullzero also wrote that vBASIC uses an older Nvidia Driver. Can anybody give me some instructions that will uninstall nvidia drivers in nvOC v0019-2.0 and then install older drivers?
I would use the vBASIC, but it really lacks a lot of features ...
Fullzero, can you please tell me which driver version do you use in vBASIC and which version in nvOC_v0019?
Whitch command can I use to get Nvidia driver version?
Sorry to hear that you have problems with 19-2.0. It is generally more stable but it is possible that it might perform worse on certain configurations. If you could provide more details we might be able to troubleshoot and help.
1) I don't remember the structure of v0019. I don't even remember if the small FAT partition was mounted correctly. It's quite an old version and won't be easy to guide you without installing v0019 on a rig just to see the structure. Basicly, you would need to copy 1bash from FAT partition to your /home folder then run it through dos2unix to convert it.
2) Although it is quite easy to upgrade to the latest version of the driver, it is not easy to downgrade since PPA repo keeps the latest driver only. If you can find the .deb package of an older driver you can install it manually with dpkg
You can get the driver version with this:
nvidia-smi -i 0 -q|grep "Driver Version"|cut -f 2 -d ":"|cut -f 2 -d " "
I think we can mount the small fat partition on v19 SSD installs and copy 1bash with following :
