Creepminer illegal instruction
-
Hey guys,
I am trying to run creepminer on linux but whenever I run it (./run.sh) then it just outputs "Illegal Instruction"
Anyone know why it does this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

@Creepsky may help you out.

What exactly is it outputting? Can you copy and paste it?
Normally an illegal instruction in Linux is because the software isn't compatible with your hardware if you're using the pre compiled file. Try compiling it from scratch and see if that works instead.
-
@captinkid It literally just outputs "Illegal Instruction" So to install it I need to install MySQL and ODBC? In order to install POCO complete edition it says I need that, but I just want to make sure I actually need those just to compile creepminer.
-
@Xander52 illegal instruction means error while execution in assembled code. Like others said, better compile it by yourself.
Just executeinstall_poco.sh, that will automatically setup poco for you.
Here is a little instruction: https://github.com/Creepsky/creepMiner/wiki/Compilation-&-Installation.

@Creepsky45 Okay so I compiled it, it is running now, I just have to wait and see if I submit any deadlines. Just to make sure, normal operation will just output last block winner, and how long it takes to read plotfiles until it finds a deadline right?
-
@Xander52 as they told you you have to compile it by your self.
reading plots speed depends on your hard drive reading speed. and connection usb 2.. usb 3.. sata.. and many other factors.. finding a deadline is not a must on each block .. some blocks you may not find a deadline at all, thats normal.happy mining :).
-
@zack Cool. After letting it run for a while it found some deadlines. I only have 3tb at the moment so I don't find the most deadlines right now. I have sata drives and it reads them in about 15.5 sec (1tb drive takes 9.9 sec, 2tb drive takes 15.5 sec)
-
@Xander52 Sounds good enough for now .. make sure to upgrade for better deadlines. ;)
-
@zack Yeah I think the computer could be a limiting factor (it has only a dual core athlon 64 and 3gb ram) Also the sata may be sata 1 or 2 so that could be slowing it down
-
@Xander52 i can see that you hard reading speed .. is more than perfect ..
mining doesn't require a great cpu .. a dual core would be more than enough.you only need to upgrade capacity for more and more deadlines :)
-
@zack Ahh okay I thought you meant my read speed needed to be upgraded. I have another 1tb plotting right now, and I got 2 more tb yesterday so I should be able to double my capacity.
-
@Xander52 wishing you best luck .. i know plotting is the worst part.. but remember its a one time process.
happy mining ;)
-
@zack @Creepsky45 Now after I added the third drive, when it scans the drives it scans the second one instantly and says that there are no plotfiles on it, why is this? I can browse to the plots folder and see that there is a plot there, so I do not know why it does not see it.
-
@Xander52 what does it say? should be something like read dir ... (1 file, x tb) in ... seconds.
Do you get a message on start that say that a plot file was skipped because it is invalid? (in red letters)
-
@Creepsky45 It says "Dir /home/xander52/BurstDrives/2/Plots read (0 files, 0.00 MB total) in 0.000s (~0.00 MB/s)"
-
@Xander52 And on start of the miner, does it say something like Found an invalid plotfile, skipping it?
-
@Creepsky45 It says "Plot file/dir does not exist '/home/xander52/BurstDrives/2/Plots' "
-
@Xander52 is the dir mounted properly? seems like there is a problem with it.
-
@Creepsky45 Yeah I have a bash script that does all my startup tasks for me(like mounting those drives where I need them), and I have not changed it. That drive was working and mining, and now with the third drive added that seems to have changed something somehow
