Hey Guys,

i´m using minera for weeks now without problems (thanks again michelem), but now suddenly minera makes a cycle boot.
i´ve got only a few seconds to access the PI Console before i get the "System is going down for reboot" Message.
Thats not time enough to change any setting on the Website. I can open the settingspage but if i change something and try to save it, the webserver is already away for rebooting.

Does anyone have a hint for me, what to do? I would prefer not to lose my stored frequency settings.

Cheers
Alex

Do you have the scheduled reboot option turned on? If it's a problem with that you should connect the rpi to a keyboard and a monitor and login as fast as you can, then remove the Minera cron job with:

Code:

sudo rm /etc/cron.d/minera

You will able to reinstall it without any effort, but you need to to login and rm it in less then a minute.

If you can't do so, you need to enter in rescue/safe mode (https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch08s07.html.en) after the boot and you should be able to have a console to do the "rm" without reboot issue.

After that please PM me I would like to investigate with you this issue.
Thanks

@khornate yes you can upgrade any packages but it's important you don't run the "dist-upgrade" command, so you can use:

Code:

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
