Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining v0019-1.4

There is error in 3main file (seems to be present long time).
If you are using P106-100 cards only then it is not possible to use individual overclock settings (which is my case since one card probably has Hynix memory).
You should modify 3main file:


Code:
if [ $P106_100_FULL_HEADLESS_MODE == "YES" ]
  then
    if grep -q "XORG_UPDATED" /home/m1/xorg_flag;
    then
      sleep 2
      UPDATE="NO"
    fi
    if [ $UPDATE == "YES" ]
    then
      sudo nvidia-xconfig --enable-all-gpus --cool-bits=12
      cd /home/m1
      echo XORG_UPDATED > '/home/m1/xorg_flag'
      sleep 4
      echo "XORG UPDATED"
      echo ''
      echo "Rebooting in 5"
      echo ''
      echo "disconnect monitor if connected"
      sleep 5
      sudo reboot
    fi
    sleep 4
    ${NVD} -a GPUGraphicsClockOffset[2]=${__CORE_OVERCLOCK}
    ${NVD} -a GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[2]=${MEMORY_OVERCLOCK}
fi

Instead of
Code:
    ${NVD} -a GPUGraphicsClockOffset[2]=${__CORE_OVERCLOCK}
    ${NVD} -a GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[2]=${MEMORY_OVERCLOCK}
You can use
Code:
    gpu=0
    while [ $gpu -lt $GPUS ]
    do
      for j in $TI
      do
        CORE=${__CORE_OVERCLOCK[${gpu}]}
        MEM=${MEMORY_OVERCLOCK[${gpu}]}
        ${NVD} -a [gpu:$gpu]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[${j}]=$CORE
        ${NVD} -a [gpu:$gpu]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[${j}]=$MEM
      done
      gpu=$(($gpu+1))

One more, tried to use v0019-2.0. But claymore consistently crashed. Had to revert to v0019 (not 1.4). Maybe some driver issue.

80w/-200/+1200 - looks stable, ~70C temp, 24,3 Mhs.
Can you check - is it Samsung memory?
I'm using Linux. Not sure if it is possible to know this info there.

I added logic based on Avarets experience with P106-100 (I don't have any of these so I am going on your report Avarets; let me know if these changes work)

Please let me know if there are any issues with these updates.

The script doesn't seem to start automatically.
If I run it manually there are some errors but mining process starts:

Code:
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyFailed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run `nvidia-settings --help` for usage information.


My guess is X isn't running; or isn't running properly.  
You've probably changed hostname? You have to add the new name to Xorg. If so, see http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/06/change-hostname-ubuntu-16-04-without-restart/

No, I didn't.
I reverted previous version of script with my desribed changes and it works again.

Also I can confirm that with updated script overclocking parameters for P106-100 are applied properly.

My configuration:
v0018
Biostar TB250-BTC PRO + 12 Zotac P106-100 cards (without output).
When I run it with LOCAL (GT 730 for monitor + 7 P106-100 cards) I see it works.
But when I remove GT 730 adapter and monitor and attach all 12 P106-100 cards and use REMOTE and connect by SSH it doesn't seem to be working.
I tried to run it manually but the OS was rebooted with Xorg error.
Any ideas how to fix it?

P.S. I tried new 1bash - still the same issue.

Code:
m1@m1-desktop:~$ pkill -e miner
m1@m1-desktop:~$ export DISPLAY=:0
m1@m1-desktop:~$ screen -r miner
There is no screen to be resumed matching miner.
m1@m1-desktop:~$ bash /home/m1/1bash

Xorg PROBLEM DETECTED

Restoring Xorg

Rebooting in 5

FIrst: ensure you have made the 2x bios changes as indicated in the OP for this mobo; and saved / restarted as directed.  If you have made additional bios changes then you should restore the default settings and perform the procedure in the OP. 

Second while troubleshooting I recommend attaching the GPU with output to the primary 16x slot and using 11 of the mining GPUs in the other slots.  Run in local mode.

If you have significantly changed the GPU configuration; especially in regard to the the primary GPU it is likely the system will need to restore the xorg and reboot.  If it does this once it is expected; if it does this in a loop (ie multiple times in a row there is a problem).

Let me know how this goes.

PS: I highly recommend using the ASRock 13x mobo to get out the box; easy setup.  If I was having a lot of trouble with this mobo, I would get one of the ASRock and then return the Biostar when I had the rig running with 13x.




I figured out this was because of wrong xorg.conf.
Used this command:
Code:
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration
Also commented out this part and forced XORG to be OK:
Code:
XORG="OK"

#if grep -q "28800" /etc/X11/xorg.conf;
#then
#XORG="OK"
#fi
Now the script starts fine.

One more thing. The script doesn't support P106-100 overclokling because of this part:
Code:
___1050_or_1050ti="NO"

NORMAL="NO"

nvidia-smi -L > /tmp/tempa

if grep -q "1050" /tmp/tempa;
then
___1050_or_1050ti="YES"
fi

if grep -q "1060" /tmp/tempa;
then
NORMAL="YES"
fi

"nvidia-smi -L > /tmp/tempa" in case of P106-100 is like this:
Code:
m1@m1-desktop:~$ cat /tmp/tempa
GPU 0: P106-100 (UUID: GPU-afea0b93-e083-bde7-f6dd-fb5b9f55ae98)
GPU 1: P106-100 (UUID: GPU-191d50dc-d599-de1d-fa4b-54493a9035c6)
GPU 2: P106-100 (UUID: GPU-2ae0b358-33bb-8438-f47b-2a2ce8088f88)
GPU 3: P106-100 (UUID: GPU-66bce3b8-51aa-9f9d-f3c5-fce4e667f994)
GPU 4: P106-100 (UUID: GPU-bae124b9-96ad-5086-20f4-32bdb6d2663f)
GPU 5: P106-100 (UUID: GPU-a9664776-7549-499a-6cfa-3b74a6c6c843)
GPU 6: P106-100 (UUID: GPU-4b57123b-20b9-20c6-ffb9-0203a51cf009)
GPU 7: P106-100 (UUID: GPU-f851be56-15e7-adf2-5a65-7508a25e6e66)
GPU 8: P106-100 (UUID: GPU-1249a132-7df6-a1d3-4794-947cd1e1887a)
GPU 9: P106-100 (UUID: GPU-f31fca46-13ad-4eee-5024-177de21d36f9)
GPU 10: P106-100 (UUID: GPU-4161850e-1f6a-7c6b-fda6-03d58826f758)
GPU 11: P106-100 (UUID: GPU-af9286f8-e0c5-2139-87f1-7019b8a1ccca)


So I manually set "TI=2" and now overcloking values are applied.

Code:
TI="2"

if [ $___1050_or_1050ti == "YES" ]
then
    TI="2"
if [ $NORMAL == "YES" ]
then
    TI="2 3"
fi

does SMOS supports gtx 1060 P106-100 MINER 6G cards ? with OC?

thanks

same question, have 12 such cards + Biostar TB250-BTC PRO.
I wonder how it would work.

I've just started, so, no overcloking yet.
By default it gives ~20MHs for ethereum.
Windows drivers don't support >8 cards. So I'm trying to use nvOC which is based on Ubuntu (remote configuration not working for me currently).

Got mine 12 pcs recently.
Trying to use with nvOC and Biostar TB250-BTC PRO.
What's your optimal overclocking parameters?

However; v0018 will support any storage type; USB key, SSD, HDD, m2 SSD ect. So, I would recommend waiting to download v0018 if you don't have your components yet and plan on using a HDD or SSD.

Thanks for v00018!. Could you please add guide for hdd installation.

Waiting for Biostar tb250 pro and 12 Zotac P106-100 to start mining using this OS.
Is it possible to quickly update to the latest version if it is installed on hdd/ssd?
