Linux GUI freeze when running miner #179

Closed pascalwacker closed 6 years ago

pascalwacker commented 6 years ago

Hi

I've compiled the xmr-stak-nvidia miner on a Ubuntu 17.04 laptop, using clang-3.8

export CC=/usr/bin/clang-3.8
export CXX=/usr/bin/clang++-3.9

as both 3.9 and 4.0 had the unsupported issue. The Videocard is a Nvidia GeForce 740M

I've set verbose_level to 4 and configured an output file.

When running from pure CLI mode (Ctrl+Alt+F1), it works but when I run it from the GUI mode (Ctrl+Alt+F7), note: the GUI mode is the default mode, the screen freezes and I can't do anything except for shuting down the laptop by long pressing the power button.

Is there a config option to not use 100% of the GPU power?

btw. thanks for your work! it's much appreciated.
