Can't enter desktop after boot for install OS #2

Open maximum733 opened 7 years ago

maximum733 commented 7 years ago

After i write ISO image into usb and do the first boot my monitor blinking (flash) at terminal (TTY mode) that ask me to login. I dont know how to get back to normal GUI desktop screen for continue install the OS. My rig using 6 GPUS P106-100 mining edition (VGA dont have I/O port), for display im using my onboard Intel VGA.

Im thinking, for now, you will be best served using the legacy install method (Ignore the primary gpu part, that doesnt really matter anymore with my new install) documented in the README. I have not tested with the P106, as I havent had access to a rig with them. You likely arent getting an X desktop in the built in vga because the nvidia driver is being loaded for the primary display. You could play with disabling the nvidia driver when booting the iso, but that would honestly be more complicated than the legacy install method, which consists of a standard Ubuntu install (should work fine on onboard vga) then installing git, followed by my scripts. You can actually do everything remotely after the ubuntu install - thats why Im keeping the legacy install directions around.

So for now all i can do is LEGACY INSTALL? But if i install with fresh ubuntu i need to install nvidia driver, and i've try before, its not work, coz after nvidia driver installed it will remove nouveau driver and sure after first reboot i can't enter x desktop.

With the legacy install method, it shouldnt matter that you dont get an X desktop from the onboard after the scri[pt runs that installs the nvidia drivers as the entire install can be done via cli interface. Although it is the older method of performing the install, the end result is still the same, it still gets you to the latest version it's just a bit longer install process.

Oh so im gonna install this and tell you the result after that!

Sounds good, let me know how it goes, I'd like to document this for other people who may use the P106 mining cards.

The legacy installation is working. I can enter rig management by website. But i think the nvidia driver version doesn’t recognize my p106-100 vga. Coz i see no card on GPU Monitoring at the miner’s control site

Ah I didnt think of that :( Ill put together some instructions for you to try installing a newer driver - Ill post them up in the morning.

Ok here we go :) Sorry for the delay, I was extremely exhausted yesterday and decided to sleep for about 10 hours. I want to preface this by first saying, I've got some reports that the nvidia drivers will not work with the GP106, and that you must use the manufacturer supplied drivers. If this is the case, Im not sure if it's possible to get it working with my OS, as I'm only seeing Windows drivers on the Asus site, but you are welcome to try this process to update to the lastest nvidia driver.

First you'll need to ssh into the system, I recommend using putty available here - https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html

Once you connect to the miner via ssh, you will need to login with the username/pw you setup during OS install, then run the following commands...

  1. sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
  2. sudo shutdown -r now (this will restart the system)

After the reboot, ssh back into the system.

  1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers (may get an error it already exists, if so, no big deal)
  2. sudo apt-get update
  3. sudo apt-get -y install nvidia-384 (this will install the latest nvidia beta driver)
  4. sudo shutdown -r now (again reboot)

Now after reboot, go into the WebUI and execute the fix gpu script linked on the right side of the overclocking page. This should execute one more reboot (and create a proper xorg.conf) - after this final reboot, we should now see the GPU's listed - if they still aren't it sounds like we'll be waiting on a new Linux driver :(
