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

Hi guys,

I have been using nvOC for many months, it is absolutely rock solid, thank you to all the dev team.
I am looking for some help with hopefully a basic request.
I have solar on my roof and would like to be able to schedule the mining to run only between sunrise and sunset, or alternatively between times I specify (say 7am to 7PM). The idea is free energy during the day of course.

I've had a look through 1bash but could not see anything to that effect. Of course, most people will want to run the rigs non stops, so probably not useful for most.

Perhaps ideally the rig would go into sleep mode while not mining to really cut it to the bone, but just pausing the mining would be good enough.

Can someone recommend an approach?

Thanks!

Will try to add it to next release,
In the mean time you can check this github pull request to get some ideas if you want to add it yourself

That would be absolutely amazing, thank you for all your hard work!

Thank you so much for your help - greatly appreciated!
I have run the script:

Code:
cd ~/NVOC/mining
git pull

And it looks like it has run the update.
I had to rename 1bash, 3main and another file in the www directory for the update to generate the 1bash.template and run smoothly.

However, I am still unable to run the miner, I get the following error message:

Code:
/home/m1/NVOC/mining/2unix: line 48: 3572 Terminated
/home/m1/NVOC/mining/2unix: line 31: /home/m1/NVOC/mining/1bash.template: No such file or directory

I then copied 1bash and renamed it 1bash.template, so that I have both a 1bash and 1bash.template, but I still get the issue:

Code:
/home/m1/NVOC/mining/2unix: line 48: 3572 Terminated

Not sure if it matters, but the number before Terminated (above 3572) changes and goes in an increasing pattern.

It actually seems to be an issue I face with the beta version even before I run the script to upgrade to the latest.
I have tried a couple coins, but it has no impact.

Any insight into how to address this?
I am in way above my head here Smiley
Thanks guys!


P.S: Also wondering about something: when I look into the miner folder, for some reason I cannot locate a EWBF folder - Not sure if this is normal? I had a look to see if it was perhaps burried into another subfolded in the miner folder but no luck.

Avoid running 'git pull' manually, always use nvOC upgrade command which automatically handle removing conflicts like those you had in some files.
So you have to do:
Code:
cd ~/NVOC/mining
bash nvOC upgrade
Let's say that the previous command updated nvOC to a version which requires a miner update, like the latest changes for Zhash. Then at this point after the command has been executed you have the minimum required version of miners packages ready to be installed.

You can do it by running (from the same directory):
Code:
bash nvOC miners-upgrade

This last command will also check again for further miners updates, it may pull additional miners updates released after the nvOC version you updated to with the first 'nvOC upgrade' command, and it will install all of them and eventually ask you if you intend to compile some of them. If you don't do it no miners update will be applied. Maybe in future revisions the nvOC upgrade command will ask you if you also intend to upgrade miners. At the moment you have to to both.

You can always install miners updates only without updating main nvOC files by just doing 'bash nvOC miners-upgrade' from your nvOC installation path.




Guys, thank you both for the support, I greatly appreciate it.
There must be something basic I am missing.
When I run the command:

Code:
cd ~/NVOC/mining
bash nvOC upgrade

I get a usage list like this:

Any guidance you guys can provide?

Thanks again for all the help!  Smiley

I have also just tried on the new beta version as I was under the impression that the new v0_3 version EWBF would be on there, but it does not look like it is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers


You should update the beta image to latest

Update beta image to latest and it has ewbf v0.3:

Code:
bash ~/NVOC/mining/nvOC upgrade

Or:

Code:
cd ~/NVOC/mining
git pull

Remember, latest default 1bash is changed to 1bash.template
Edit and save it as 1bash, reboot.

Thank you so much for your help - greatly appreciated!

Hi guys,

First a huge thank you to the dev team and everyone who has contributed here - amazing result!
I have been running NVOC for a few months and it has been mega stable.
I went on a 4months streak without a reboot or anything.

I am running version 2.0 and am trying to add EWBF v0_3 to mine BTG on their new algo.
I am a linux newbie and struggling to get this done.

Would anyone be able to share some tips/a resolution as to how to get the new EWBF miner on so I can mine?

Thanks a lot guys.

Cheers
