[Solved] CGminer-neoscrypt 3.7.7.7b : Ubuntu 14.04 will not run with AMD catalyst 13.12
-
Hi All,
Well I guess I will not be mining feathercoin when the switch-over occurs. :(
It seems my ubuntu 14.04 system will not run with catalyst 13.12. Even after patching (x3!) the 13.12 driver so that it built and installed, it was crashing my gpu cards on startup. Despite lots of playing I’m not able to resolve the issues (maybe later AMD cards are not compatible with 13.12?) so I’ve gone back to catalyst 14.
Are there any plans to make the miner compatible with catalyst 14? As time goes on I suspect this will become a problem for more and more miners.
Cheers
Dave

Have Ubuntu 14, catalyst 14 and shitload of problems :(
Even thinking about reinstaling old ubuntu 12 and catalyst 13 from scratch.

I thought of this too. Unfortunately my mining machine is also a bit of a testbed and I need 14.04 for it, so I can’t downgrade - (hmm - unless I boot off of USB I guess).
From what I understand it is cgminer that doesn’t play well with catalyst 14.
So would a solution be to port neoscypt to sgminer? I’m not sure what changes to the .cl code would be needed for this. I suspect everyone is busy at the moment with the changeover.
Cheers

Hi,
Done - Issue #6 - cgminer does not work with catalyst 14.xx drivers (and 13.12 drivers broken for ubuntu 14.04)
Cheers

The best solution is not to use Ubuntu 14 at all.
Go for 12 and older catalyst to avoid the problems.
