Yes , I have added the user group accordingly as shown in the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1ok9wLc3dE
and as soon as i restart i stuck at the login loop .

You have just mentioned 16.04 Ubuntu server  and I am using 16.04.1 desktop version
does it make the difference

Should I try to use Server Version ?

But according to mention in the video

Command I use to in the video group - sudo gpasswd -a $(whoami) video
and then reboot and stuck in login loop


are you using 16.04 Ubuntu Server or 16.04.1 Ubuntu server

downloaded ubuntu from here -http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/  64 bit version


Does changing from desktop to Server will work ?

does it work with RX 480 * 6 GPU

Hello Everyone ,

I tried searching through the forum didn't find the better result on this Driver for AMDGPU - Pro

Motherboard - Asrock H81 R2.0
RAM - 4 GB
Graphic Card - 6 x 480 Sapphire 8 GB
PCIe - 1x 16x Riser card


OS - Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS


I tried using win 7 64 bit ,all 6 cards were visible but working only 4 and 2 with ( exclamation mark ) . With error 43
tried restarting and plug in and plug out . Checked with the drivers all working fine and even the cards are fine too then somebody suggested on #monero channel the cryptomined youtube channel   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1ok9wLc3dE  running 6 GPU with ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Xenial/ Xerus linux

As soon as I install the drivers AMDGPU-PRO and restart it and i stuck at login login loop . I type the password correct but still isn't working
I followed all the steps whatever is mentioned here - http://www.linuxslaves.com/2016/05/3-ways-fix-ubuntu-gets-stuck-login-loop.html

Still unable to login . I am not using multi-boot only one OS that's it .
Went through all the troubleshooting steps and the process to fix the stupid issue but still the same .
Wanted to mine Monero/Zcash .


Any help appreciated . Please

thanks , you really helped a lot

dehradhun sir

what about you ?

and i do find some bugs where people are complaining about the OS getting crashed twice or thrice and unable to identify the cars in windows as there OS .

Did you face these problems as well ?

and can you recommend some tweaks to fix it or drivers to be used !

I am up for whichever is the best and get the best output and consumes less power though .

After successfully implementing 1 complete rig up and running . I can afford to go for 2 more rigs and that's my limit there .

and about mining . I am not interested in ether mining at all and rather go for zcash , DASH , verticoin i believe

so , you recommend asrock 81 pro btc motherboard over z97 msi gaming 5 ?

and about the graphic card - Rx 480 8 GB OR RX 470 , which will be best ?

Thanks a ton sir ,

The video you just shared , the author of the video using 16 GB of RAM and i7 processor . He said he wanted to do CPU mining as well .
Did you tried CPU mining and is it worth to give it a try ?

and after connecting and making the setup do we have to use proper driver which supports 7 graphic card altogether or something different to run ?

and about Asrock motherboard , the both recommended version aren't available in the market because i guess i am too late in the mining process
i have been looking for these 2 model Asrock H81 Pro btc and H97 Anniversary and I did find it on amazon but way to high priced .

Is there any other alternative of Z97 Gaming 5 ,  I just want to have options available for me . If I go to market and try to find it and if ' its not available , I should start with another one .

and How can I get riser cable , do you have trusted vendor from aliexpress ?

thanks for your reply

can you let me know , what kind of motherboard i can use in this , which will be easily available in the market for the purchase !

and about the RX 470 4 GB graphic cards ---- are you talking on the basis of ZEC / Eth because I am not interested mining in Ether at all .
They have been hacked twice , which cause the birth of Ether classic and Hard fork ( Ether was the first one I believe to get to the point of hard fork )


So , I will prefer Dash , Zcash or any other .

suggestion for the motherboard plz . I tried finding H81 btc pro motherboard in the market but unable to find it ( as it says it better for mining)

and about the setup which I am trying to complete will have 3 fans on them in cabinet and the GPU itself have (2 fans) on them each .

Hi ,

I am new in the mining zone for altcoins . I am interested in mining zcash / XMR / DASh or any other

I tried finding the Asrock motherboard and other Riser Cable to attach maximum of 6 GPU's but , unable to find any and when I did find it's overpriced
and it's a scrap based parts so , I really don't think wasting my time in that more in that and go look for somebody in china .

So , below is the configuration I was thinking to invest in . My perspective isn't mining , it's gaming too .

Based on my research throughout the market , I was able to find a better motherboard to hold 4 GPU at once ( without riser cable )

Motherboard - Gigabyte SOC force
RAM - 32 GB   
4 GPU - Sapphire RX 480 8 GB
Processor - i7 6850 k
SSD - 500 GB

The motherboard is best for overclocking . Need your suggestions whether it's wrong or right !

Hi ,

I am interested in building my own rig . I have a hard time finding the GPU riser cable and I am not sure about the Asrock motherboard as well . It's not easily available , I have to do a lot of research on that though .

I was thinking of building with 2 perspective mining / gaming . So , I come to an conclusion . I don't know whether I am doing it right or wrong please suggest .

Motherboard - Gigabyte ZOC force
RAM - 32 GB
4 Graphic card -  Sapphire RX 480 8 GB ( I am using 4 cards because It allow me to use that " no's " only )
CPU - i7 6850 k
psu - 1200 i
ssd - 500 GB

the cost have gone beyond the normal and with corsair cabinet and I don't know if i am able to get ROI on this or not . My main motive is to mine altcoins no specifics but i am not interested in ether as well ( because of hard fork and . I find zcash more interesting

What kind of motherboard you are using and what do you suggest on my setup

 
 

and from there he took us in the office after few hours of conversation .
The office was very small . He said all the administration department is here as I cannot get the miners from here . The factory is in shenzhen in gangdong only staff have access to it . So , If I pay right then .... I will get my miners after a week at my home.

Which obviously didn't happened ever.

Below is the mail in which sharif said - " we will fully support you all are offices are closed now . lu chen left our company 2 months ago "
Now if you look at the mail of xiaorliu that tracking mail was send to me on 24 december 2015 and Sharif said on 4 th feb 2016 that lu chen / michael chen left the company 2 months ago "

The difference is 1 month 9 days . Isn't that gives a doubt he/she ( xiaorui.liu@bitmain.com ) might be part of this ?

Below is the my phone screenshot as i saved lu chen/ Michael chan number as " Lu chen antminer S7"

and here is mail in which xiaorui.liu@bitmain.com cc'd lu.chen@bitmain giving my first miner DHL tracking address
http://imgur.com/MW03aT2

I doubt on her/his and include her as part of lu chen scam scheme because when i Received my first miner lu chen was in cc when she/he mailed .
If Michael chan / Lu chen wasn't part of company why did she added him in mail ?


and How did Michael Chan / lu chen get to know that my miner is stuck in custom department ?

after sharif ask me to gave all the information.  I gave it to them and  also all these without redacting all my information as it is as they asked me to do
