Is it working?

Specifically around anything talking about OCL or GPU like

Can you screenshot your miner settings panel too please?

Mark Bober

There is nothing about OCL or GPU, though I'm not sure why.  Perhaps that happens after the USB stuff if there were no error.

Screenshot:

FabulousPanda

I think it'll work if you delete 500 from CPU Threads - you'll need to check use scrypt for Litecoin mining too!

Mark Bober

Nope.  :-(

FabulousPanda

Really odd. Try unchecking dynamic intensity? What speed did it run at when it did run?

Mark Bober

No luck.  I unchecked Dynamic Intensity and set Intensity to 12.  It was around 30MH/s yesterday.

FabulousPanda

if not working best to set it at something low like 2 just to get it working - did you add -d 0 to manual flags? Turn off debug output too or set the log length really high in preferences!

Mark Bober

I set the log length to 99999, set the intensity to 2, and added the -d 0 flag and it's still not working.  Note that the original config I sent you was working yesterday.

Mark Bober

This is odd and frustrating..

FabulousPanda

Try running 

/Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer/bin/bfgminer -o http://pool.address.com:1234 -u username -p pass

in Terminal, maybe it'll give you some more information!

Mark Bober

Hmm... not so much:

/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer/bin/bfgminer -o http://stratum.triplemining.com:3334 -u *** -p *** -D

 [2014-02-13 13:45:04] Started bfgminer 3.10.0

Not showing anything in my mining pool account.  bfgminer process is running with 0 CPU%, 3 threads.

FabulousPanda

do you see a hash rate or GPU in the text user interface that opens up?

Mark Bober

No, there's nothing.  I also double checked my mining pool account and still nothing there.

Mark Bober

Just tried bfg with P2Pool for LTC and it does the same thing.. just hangs there.

FabulousPanda

ah sorry that one's my bad you need to add 

-S opencl:auto

to the launch command, if it still doesn't show an OCL/GPU device then we're back to looking at why that device is not enabled in the system like maybe the energy saver setting was for the battery not power cable or something

Mark Bober

Still doesn't work.  Energy saver setting unchecked for both battery and power adapter...  :-(

FabulousPanda

does it open the text user interface at all? 

Mark Bober

It does not..

Mark Bober

It seems like it effectively stops at bfgminer version 3.10.0 and then doesn't print anything else afterward.

Btw, I appreciate your working through this with me.

Mark Bober

Interesting... I tried moving the bfgminder dir into /usr/local and re-running.  This is what I see now:

dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../../curl/lib/libcurl.4.dylib

  Referenced from: /usr/local/bfgminer/bin/bfgminer

  Reason: Incompatible library version: bfgminer requires version 8.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 7.0.0

Trace/BPT trap: 5

FabulousPanda

No problem, I want to know what's going on here too! It should says bfgminer 3.10, then flash a blank screen for a couple of seconds before opening the TUI. Does it just hang before the the blank screen? You could try replacing the bfgminer folder in MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources with the 3.9 version from http://fabulouspanda.co.uk/commandline/bfgminer/ and see if that helps things

I'm trying to test this in a VM but it's broken on me!

it's linked to libraries inside MacMiner.app so it won't work without those, you could symlink though

Mark Bober

Well, the blank screen seems to show up as a bunch of blank lines before the last line.  It looks like this.

FabulousPanda

Please try the replace with bfg 3.9 as I mentioned above - I can't seem to recreate this unfortunately.

Have you messed around much with homebrew or macports at all?

If you run this it should output what GPU it finds then quit:

/Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer/bin/bfgminer -S opencl:auto -d?

Mark Bober

Well, interestingly, it's working this morning after installing 3.10 via homebrew...  I'll keep you posted!

FabulousPanda

Strange how it stops and starts like that. I'll redo the bfgminer in the next version whether that's updated or not!

crash on start up,
after constant earlier restarts as unable to find a config file?
now nothing. i have latest version 1.5.16b and am an absolute beginner. trying to work with rocket pool
10.9.1 hackintosh, nvidia gtx 660

helps?
xx

FabulousPanda

unable to find a config file is usually a problem where the pool hasn't been set up yet - it's in the preferences under MacMiner menu in the latest version

I'm investigating it failing to launch a second time with the latest version, for the meantime I think deleting the file at 

/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.fabulouspanda.macminer 

then opening the app again should fix it, please let me know how you get on? Will be updating ASAP
