I got a hold of a raspberry pi, i'm going to try a get it running on there

I believe the latest versions of PHP come with a tiny webserver specifically for development of code. Haven't tried it though.

EDIT: http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php

And that's the problem...

Indeed there is only SO MUCH I can put in a readme, link, warning, information, documentation, blah blah blah. Seriously does ANY other bitcoin app have anything like the documentation that cgminer has???

Understood, it just seems that everyone has some other issue they deem vital as well.

I got a question and I seriously tried to find the answer to it by both googling and searching the forums.

I'm mining with a Diamond 7970 on a Win 7 x64 setup using 12.3 driver package using CGMiner 2.4.3.  The miner will lock up sometime between 10 minutes and 3 hours and it seems to get stuck with the last line in the CMD prompt being Long Poll Detected.  This is my only 7970 and I'm not familiar if it may be something with the driver version (all my other rigs are 6870s and 6950s).  The only thing I think might be contributing to the lockups is the rig is extremely slow as far as response time since I'm running off an old 30GB IDE drive. I dropped the swap file size from auto to 512MB and that made it a little more snappy with less disk thrashing and turned off all the Win7 eye candy.

The card mines fine around 1000core/150mem but when I bump it to even 1025/1050/1075 or 1100 it gets the above mentioned lockup on CGMiner.  The ASIC is 78.7 for the GPU and I'm using stock voltage so I'm pretty sure there's more OC headroom.  The rest of the system runs fine during these lockups - I just notice I stop submitting shares and it gets stuck at the longpoll.  Any ideas?

I've been looking into this and it may well be a bug so I'll try and fix it next version. Do you have 5970s or 6990s? That's the only scenario I can see this as happening.

Check the zipfile you downloaded for windows, there is a step by step instruction in there for linux-usb-cgminer...

Docs galore...

For anyone still running ubuntu/xubuntu 11.04 like I do, the latest release binary 2.4.3 will not run on 11.04
(it's built on 12.04)

You can of course compile it yourself ... or:

I've compiled a distro version of 2.4.3 with all devices enabled and placed it my git downloads
What this is built from is the exact source in the 2.4.3 release - cgminer-2.4.3.tar.bz2,
all default options, (including ADL, GPU, curses) and also libudev & libusb,
CFLAGS="-O2 -W -Wall" ./configure --enable-icarus --enable-bitforce --enable-ztex --enable-modminer

So basically the same as the binary in the binary release, except compiled on xubuntu 11.04

It reports itself as cgminer 2.4.3a on the screen and in the version info

If you want it, it's in my git downloads: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/downloads

I'll do this 'all devices' version after each release, so people with 11.04 can get a binary without having to build it, if they don't want to build it.

I'm using it successfully on a rig with one 6950 GPU + one BFL
Edit: and also on my fedora 16 rig with two Icarus
