Hello everybody,
I'm new to the mining and Linux/raspberry topic, but i'm pretty know in computers in general.
My problem is, that the cgMinier 4.11.1 dosen't recognize my USB Miner "bitshopper GekkoScience NewPac",
or let me acess it.
I hope, that someone here can help me. I'm really frustrated and desperate.
I installed, i don't know for sure, rasbian (i guess) on the raspberry Pi
Everything's working fine so far.
I used the terminal with these commands in the following order:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
wget http://gekkoscience.com/misc/cgminer-gekko.tar.gz
tar -xvzf cgminer-gekko.tar.gz
cd cgminer-gekko-rev2 (thats how the folder is called, don't know why)
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool
./autogen.sh
./configure -enable-gekko
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl3-dev libudev-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config libncurses5-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev and libudev-dev
make [nothing happend]
I start cgminer with this command:
cd ~/mining/newpac/cgminer
./cgminer -o Stratum+tpc://stratum.slushpool.com:3333 -u (workername) -p (password) --suggest -diff 32 --gekko-newpac-freq 120
Tried it with sudo too.
Programm is starting, but doesn't start minning!
I recieve this error everytime:
USB init, open device failed, err -3, you don't have privilege to acess -GSH device 1:7
I used
sudo apt-get install input-utils
sudo lsinput
to look for the miner, but there are just 8 inputs by the mouse and the keyboard
I used
cd ~/git/vthoang/cgminer/
sudo usermod -G plugdev -a `whoami`
sudo cp 01-cgminer.rulesetc/udev/rules.d/
sudo reboot
after that the error is gone, but no USB device ist detected
I used the miner and the Orico USb 2.0 HUB, to which the stick is connected, on my windows PC.
No problem at all works just fine.
That's where i'am right now, don't have any ideas anymore, that's why i'm here.
Pls help!
Greetings Ricardo
