setting the multiminer to mint #337

Closed pavel996 closed 6 years ago

pavel996 commented 6 years ago

I set up the miner on windows- 15 minutes and everything works. But there were problems with installing on mint. My algorithm of actions: 1) I read the instruction: Linux Installation (Debian-Based) Install the latest version of Mono

sudo apt-get install mono-complete Install your chosen mining engine

sudo add-apt-repository ppa: unit3 / bfgminer sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install bfgminer Download and extract the .zip file at the GitHub Releases page

Run MultiMiner.Win.exe using mono:

mono MultiMiner.Win.exe 2) Install the latest version of Mono - did it, it turned out 3) Install your chosen mining engine - did it, it turned out 4) Download and extract the .zip file at the GitHub Releases page - did, it turned out 5) Run MultiMiner.Win.exe using mono - miner started, but there is one problem: miner does not determine the video card, there is an assumption that scan hardware does not start.

Run BFGMiner with the -h argument and ensure it is compiled with the opencl driver as seen below:

./bfgminer -h
bfgminer 5.5.0-unknown
  Lowlevel: ftdi hid pci pci:uio spi usb vcom
  Drivers: antminer avalon avalonmm bfx bifury bigpic bitforce bitforce:pci bitfury cairnsmore cointerra compac drillbit dualminer erupter gridseed hashbuster hashbusterusb hashfast icarus klondike littlefury modminer nanofury opencl proxy proxy:getwork proxy:stratum rockminer twinfury x6500 zeusminer ztex
  Algorithms: Keccak SHA256d scrypt
  Options: ncurses

If you do not see the OpenCL driver you will need to install (or compile) a version of BFGMiner with the opencl driver enabled.

If the opencl driver is enabled, run the following command. It should list your OpenCL devices. If not, check with the BFGMiner author / support in their respective thread / issue tracker.

./bfgminer -S auto -d?
