Mining LOKI with RX 480 Nitro 8GB Cards on Ubuntu 18.04

Quick How-To Guide

This guide assumes that you have Ubuntu 18.04 setup fresh.

On another computer, download the AMD drivers from the vendor’s website

Use winscp and move them to the computer

On the Mining Rig, login, and from the command line you will want to navigate to the directory you copied your AMD Drivers to….most likely it will be your home directory (/home/username/)

sudo bash

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

ls

Look for those AMD Drivers

tar -xJvf amdgpu-pro-18.50-756341-ubuntu-18.04.tar.xz

cd amdgpu-pro-18.50-756341-ubuntu-18.04/

sudo dpkg –add-architecture i386

./amdgpu-pro-install -y –opencl=legacy

mkdir /miner && cd /miner

apt install clinfo -y

apt-get install git build-essential cmake libuv1-dev libmicrohttpd-dev

apt-get install libssl-dev

git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-amd.git

mkdir xmrig-amd/build

cd xmrig-amd/build

cmake ..

make

apt install mesa-opencl-icd -y

nano loki.sh

@echo off
./xmrig-amd -a cryptonight-ultralite –donate-level 1 -o loki.miner.rocks:4005 -u LChtjHqr29p5FojLdMtcUW5ApLWyQHH5j4366V78YECEjUkgK99Y7uLDVLpHjXpYM3UcZ39FFL5Gvd4debF95mcJHbnx5ke -p w=rx480 -k -o ca.loki.miner.rocks:4005 -u LChtjHqr29p5FojLdMtcUW5ApLWyQHH5j4366V78YECEjUkgK99Y7uLDVLpHjXpYM3UcZ39FFL5Gvd4debF95mcJHbnx5ke -p w=rx480 -k
pause

Save the file and Exit

chmod +x loki.sh

./loki.sh

And your rig will begin to mine

ERROR Installing AMDGPU-PRO Drivers on Ubuntu 18.04

Easy way to fix the following errors

Installing AMD Drivers on Ubuntu 18.04 has been a pain…until now. To fix the following errors you have to simply do the following

ERRORS:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

amdgpu-pro : Depends: libvdpau-amdgpu-pro but it is not going to be installed

              Depends: clinfo-amdgpu-pro but it is not going to be installed

amdgpu-pro-dkms : Depends: dkms (>= 1.95) but it is not going to be installed

amdgpu-pro-lib32 : Depends: libdrm-amdgpu-pro-amdgpu1:i386

                    Depends: libgbm1-amdgpu-pro:i386

                    Depends: libgl1-amdgpu-pro-glx:i386

Etc, etc, etc………

To fix it, at the command line, type the following:

sudo dpkg –add-architecture i386

Now try the install again:

sudo ./amdgpu-pro-install -y

AND IT FINALLY WORKS!

Installing Teamviewer 13 on Ubuntu 18.04

How to Install Teamviewer on a Headless Server

Teamviewer Installation has changed in the recent version, and the prior directions will not work.  You will continue to receive an error after you insert the password saying there was a connectivity time out.  The new way to install teamviewer is as follows:

Login 

sudo bash

add-apt-repository “deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) universe”

apt-get update

apt-get install gdebi-core

mkdir /home/miner/teamviewer

cd /home/miner/teamviewer

wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer-host_amd64.deb

dpkg -i teamviewer-host_amd64.deb

It will fail and that’s ok because we will fix it here

apt-get -f install

y

After it installs then type

teamviewer info

Take a note of your Teamviewer ID, you will need it later

teamviewer passwd YOURPASSWORDHERE

Now open teamviewer on another computer that you are logged into.  Add the computer using the menu “Add Computer“, enter in your Teamviewer ID and the Password you used in YOURPASSWORDHERE, and you can now connect
