Dear jpade,
I understand what I did wrong now. But by now I tried to do some debugging myself, I tried:
Code:
crontab -e
And it showed me a different file then the one I edited. I'm guessing you pointed me to a more general file and "crontab -e" gives a user specific crontab file. I ended up thinking why not just use the GUI for "startup applications", press "add", browse to cgmon.tcl location, add description and some comment, and what do you know, works like a charm. Starts right after unity boots every time. I don't know the implications of me running like this, do you think your method better handles things?

I added:
Code:
# start
after 60000
check_status
So the wireless network adapter will have enough time to reconnect.

Dear jpade,
I guess I'm doing something wrong... Followed your instrusions in the TCL file, configured everything but still it doesn't work. I tried to run it manually by using:
Yes, I'm on gmail...
I guess I don't have SASL installed or some link to it is not there... I'm usually able to figure these small things by myself but I'm kinda stuck on this one
I have installed SASL using:

Code:
sudo apt-get install postfix sasl2-bin
Trying to configure postfix to the best of my abilities, will update soon...
Just saw I needed to do:
Code:
# Ubuntu: apt-get install tcllib tcl-tls
Solved this one...


I put the line in crontab and it looks like that:
Code:
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# m h dom mon dow user command
2  * * * * root /home/dogger/Downloads/cgmon.tcl >/dev/null 2>&1
17 * * * * root    cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )
#
But, when I reboot the script doesn't work, any solution? It starts automatically but it takes it 3-70 minutes to start after my OS has completely booted, it sometimes starts only one GPU and sometimes it starts both, any insites on these matters?  
I'm on Ubuntu 13.10, 2X290X with cgminer.

Also, if my account is password protected (I disabled it for the time being), will the reboot work or will it get stuck on the enter password to login screen?

Thank you for all your work Smiley

Hey. I'm also a long time cryptocurrency investor (since 2010) and I really want to be allowed to post outside the newb garden!


Just wait a bit and show some activity as written in the newbie readme pinned in the begginers forum.

Multi GPU + Intel HD graphics configuration

on 29/01/2014, 10:42:21 UTC
Hello all,
Been mining for a while on a single 290X. Since then I bought a second 290X and still everything was running smoothly. I don't know why I decided to install the driver for the Intel HD 4400 onboard graphics chip but since then I'm having trouble. I don't have a temp and fan speed reading, no fan control and my hash rate went down to 650KH/s per card. I'm trying to configure everything to work with cgminer but so far with no luck.

here is my .bat file:
Code:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://MyPool.com:correctPort -u My.worker -p MyPass -I 20,20 -g 1 -w 256,256 --thread-concurrency 22528,22528 --gpu-fan 20-75,20-55 --auto-fan --gpu-engine 947,947 --gpu-memclock 1400,1400  --gpu-vddc 1.100,1.100

When I run cgminer -n I get:
Code:

Any thoughts? What am I missing to point cgminer in the right direction?

I'm new to bitcoin mining (not to bitcoin nor to economics), I've been following and learning the ins and outs of the mining business and decided recently to take the plunge. I pre ordered 12 second batch neptunes, I hope I did my homework well.
Cheers
