I just installed SmartCoin today and after playing with it, I have to say that it looks really great. You've really put a lot of polish on it.

Unfortunately I'm not having any luck getting my lockups detected. There's no relevant information in the SmartCoin logs, and the SmartCoin console just seems to stop running altogether. However, I can disconnect from screen and issue other commands so I know the machine isn't completely unresponsive. I can also run ./lockup.sh manually and it works fine.

What should I look at? Is there any troubleshooting information I can provide? Thanks!

A lot depends on what revision you are running. There have been several fixes and improvements in the last few revisions. If I were you, I would first switch to the experimental branch (4) Edit Settings->Development Branch to Follow. Then run an update (11) Update Smartcoin). Then reboot smartcoin by first killing smartcoin (2) Kill smartcoin) then restarting it. That will bring you to the most current revision (r495e at this time)

Ok, once we know you are current, lets review what a lockup is so that we are on the same page. A lockup almost always is caused by either loss of Internet, or stability problems from an over aggressive overclock. A locked GPU in this case still reports aticonfig commands, but you will notice that the miner will just hang without ever changing (you can view the miners individually if you want by typing

Code:

screen -r miner

. Another thing to point out is that at default settings, it can take 5-10 minutes before the lockup is detected. You can accelerate your testing by giong to Edi Settings, and edit the Lockup Threshold value to something lower (a value of 10 will take about a minute or two)

Let me know how things work out for you
