Hello
I want to configure a computer with linux, for my 4GB gpus (as long as they last) I have tried it with ubuntu 20.04.1 lts (the newest), I installed official drivers, the newest, but the miner does not even start xDD
In the end I used a pendrive with simplemining and it works, but I would like to have access to my own platform, as I have always done with windows.
Could someone give me some tips on what linux to use? And what drivers, I would be very grateful.
The truth is that linux I have used little, it has usually been in virtual machines to test the distribution and it is the first time that I face a serious installation and I am lost.
best regards!!! : )
Have you tried the good drivers from page 1.
Good drivers. These are versions from 18.12.1.1 to 19.7.5 (inclusive), and from 19.12.2 to 20.8.1 (inclusive). These will allow you to mine until DAG epoch 372-373 and won't need restart of PhoenixMiner on each DAG epoch change.
+1 would appreciate if someone share their setup
Those are windows drivers, you need the linux drivers. Use latest Ubuntu then use:
wget
https://drivers.amd.com/drivers/linux/amdgpu-pro-20.30-1109583-ubuntu-20.04.tar.xz --referer
https://support.amd.comThis gets the amd linux driver, then:
tar -Jxvf amdgpu-pro-20.30-1109583-ubuntu-20.04.tar.xz
cd amdgpu-pro-20.30-1109583-ubuntu-20.04/
./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=legacy,rocm --headless
This extracts it, switches directory and installs it(2 commands)
You will wait forever for it to build the initial module and it will appear to lockup.
The big thing is you cannot run it off of 'try' Ubuntu, you have to install Ubuntu
With 20.30 you will not have the kernel gfx1010... and Hashrate will be very variable...
