Installing Teamviewer on Ubuntu Server
How-To guide for installing and running Teamviewer on your Ubuntu Mining Rig
This is the quick and dirty to get it up and running. I find that running Teamviewer on my Ubuntu Mining Rigs helps me manage them on the fly. For this guide you will replace the home directory named tacticalware with the name of your home directory. The rest of the commands will work as they are listed.
From a command prompt run the following commands:
sudo bash
mkdir /home/tacticalware/teamviewer
cd /home/tacticalware/teamviewer
wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer-host_amd64.deb
dpkg -i teamviewer-host_amd64.deb
The installation will fail
Now run:
apt-get -f install
y
After it installs then run
teamviewer setup
Enter your username
Enter your password
Log into your email, and find the Teamviewer email
Allow/Add the device
And now you can log into your server using Teamviewer
Installing XMR-STAK on Ubuntu with NVidia 1080TI
How-To guide for installing XMR-STAK on Ubuntu 16.04.04 for Mining LOKI
I prefer linux (more specifically Ubuntu) for mining, and have preferred linux since I began mining in 2012/2013. I was finally fed up with Windows 10 mining of Loki after the most recent set of Windows updates broke several of my rigs. So I used a small ubuntu rig that I used for testing, and was able to install the XMR-STAK app onto it. As happy as ever to be able to mine Loki now with Ubuntu, I thought I should put together this quick guide and hope that it may be beneficial to others. Some of the steps are from github, some are from other sites, some I had found myself. This is a central place to get you up and running without having to look too far.
For this guide I am assuming you already have a mining rig built with the following:
Ubuntu 16.04.04
NVidia 1080TI Cards
Loki Wallet already downloaded, installed, and the wallet address ready
I am going to run the commands logged in as sudo to make this quick and easy
Now, onto the guide:
sudo bash
apt-get install libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev cmake build-essential libhwloc-dev screen
mkdir /miner && mkdir /miner/drivers
git clone https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak.git
mkdir xmr-stak/build
cd xmr-stak/build
cmake ..
make install
cd /miner/drivers/xmr-stak/build/bin/
./xmr-stak
You will need to insert a port for monitoring the progress. I use port 30131 and press Enter
Next type in cryptonight_heavy and press Enter
For the pool address, I use loki.ingest.cryptoknight.cc:7733 press Enter
Your username will be your wallet address, for example
LChtjHqr29p5FojLdMtcUW5ApLWyQHH5j4366V78YECEjUkgK99Y7uLDVLpHjXpYM3UcZ39FFL5Gvd4debF95mcJHbnx5ke
The password will be your worker name. For example mine is Miner23
Your Rig Identifier can be empty, so just press Enter
Input N for TLS and press Enter
Insert N for Nicehash and press Enter
Input N for multiple pools and press Enter
Select Yes when prompted
Mining will begin!
Once you see it mining properly, hit CTRL + C to cancel the mining. You will want to run it in screen, so you can disconnect from the terminal and the miner will continue to run. To do that run:
screen ./xmr-stak
It will run and you can now disconnect from your putty session or whatever way you are logged in. If you want to reconnect to your terminal at any time, run the following and you can see your miner running
screen -r
That’s it! Thanks for reading!

Mining with the Z270X Ultra-Gaming Motherboard
How-To Enable all 6 GPUs with the Z270X Ultra-Gaming Motherboard
I use a fair amount of the Gigabyte Z270X motherboards in my rigs, and have run into an issue where only 5 of the 6 GPUs will be seen by Microsoft Windows 10. To get the 6th one to display there are a few steps, that I can list below. The good news is your system will see the GPUs…Windows just doesnt know how to allow the OS to access them all.
First thing….install the latest BIOS for the motherboard. You can get this from the Gigabyte manufacturer site.
Next, configure the bios by performing the following:
Reboot
Press DEL
Enter Setup
On the M.I.T Tab, navigate to Miscellaneous Settings and select it.
Then select Max Link Speed
Scroll down to Gen 2 and select that option
Next you want to Navigate to the BIOS tab
Scroll down to Windows 8/10 Features and select that option
Make sure Windows 8/10 is selected, not Other OS
Scroll down to CSM Support and select that option
Set it to Disabled
You can now Save and Exit your Bios, reboot your rig, and all of your video cards will be functional. If you find that you cannot boot your Windows installation, it may be that you need to install the OS using UEFI support. If that is the case and you do not want rebuild at this time, simply undo the changes above and you are back to where you began.

XMR-STAK Error using NVidia 1080TI Cards
How-To fix NVidia 1080TI – XMR-STAK Thread Error
I have been seeing the following error pop-up when you run XMR-STAK for the first time while using NVidia 1080TI cards
[CUDA] Error gpu 1: <C:/xmr-stak/xmrstak/backend/nvidia/nvcc_code/cuda_extra.cu>:312
**suggestion: Try to reduce the value of the attribute ‘threads’ in the NVIDIA config file.**
There is a simple way to resolve this error. Open up the directory that you used to launch xmr-stak.exe
if you are mining with NVidia cards, open up the nvidia.txt file.
[AMD steps are similar to this. You would just open the amd.txt file instead]
For each of the GPUs listed within the txt file, you will need to Lower the number of Threads on this line:
“threads” : 26, “blocks” : 84,
I would recommend lowering them in half for all of your GPUs
“threads” : 13, “blocks” : 84,
Save the file
Re-Launch xmr-stak.exe and try to mine with it.
If it works you will then incrementally raise the threads to the level which your mining rig can support.
That’s it! Thanks for reading

VCRUNTIME140.DLL Error When Running XMR-STAK
How-To fix the VCRUNTIME140.DLL error
The VCRUNTIME140.DLL error seems all too common when mining on Windows 10 computers. I recently came across it on a system that I manage. I was trying to install, configure, and run XMR-STAK so we could mine LOKI with it and figured that if it is affecting me, it is probably affecting others.
So here is the fix….
Download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package from here :
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
And you can now run and install XMR-STAK
Mining using AMD RX480 Nitro & RX580 Nitro on Ubuntu
How-To Guide for mining with the AMD Series cards on Ubuntu Server 16.04.04
This guide assumes you already have the Rig built, and Ubuntu Server 16.04.04 installed on it. Once the rig boots to the terminal, this guide begins. I am going to install everything as root, yes there are reasons why you should and should not do it that way. I just prefer to get it up and running as quickly as possible. I do not store anything on my miners, and you should not either. Keep your wallets off your mining rig. Keep your coins secure. Keep your miners with limited data on them, so you can wipe and reinstall on the fly if you need.
Once Install Ubuntu 16.04 Server is installed type the following in bold as they appear
sudo bash
ifconfig
apt-get install openssh-server
Now you can use your laptop/desktop and log into the server. Download putty, and connect to the server via it’s IP or Server Name. My Username Name is tacticalware, so you can change everywhere you see tacticalware listed, you will change that to the username of the account you are logged in as
sudo bash
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt install git screen nmap ncdu busybox inxi clinfo links unzip python xorg xserver-xorg-legacy xserver-xorg-video-dummy libcurl3
systemctl disable lightdm.service
mkdir /miner && mkdir /miner/drivers && mkdir /miner/drivers/amd && cd /miner/drivers/amd
Download the drivers from on a laptop
Now use Winscp on the laptop to copy the drivers to the Ubuntu Server
cd /home/tacticalware/ && cp ./* /miner/drivers/amd/ && cd /miner/drivers/amd/
The version I downloaded and used was amdgpu-pro-17.30-458935.tar.xz … you will need to change that part of the name to the version you have
tar -Jxvf amdgpu-pro-17.30-458935.tar.xz && cd amdgpu-pro-17.30-458935 && ./amdgpu-pro-install -y
usermod -a -G video $LOGNAME
Download the SDK from here to your laptop
Winscp it to the server
Move the SDK from your home directory to /miner/drivers/amd
tar xf AMD-APP-SDKInstaller-v3.0.130.136-GA-linux64.tar.bz2 && ./AMD-APP-SDK-v3.0.130.136-GA-linux64.sh
reboot
Log back into the server now
sudo bash
clinfo
clinfo | grep compute
nano /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
delete the last line:
allowed_users=console
insert at end of file:
allowed_users=anybody
needs_root_rights=yes
Create a new file for operating without a monitor:

Save the file and exit
cd /home/tacticalware/
nano .bashrc
Add the following at end of .bashrc
export DISPLAY=:0
Save the file and exit
nano /etc/profile
Add the following at end of /etc/profile:
export XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority
Save the file and exit
nano .xinitrc
#!/bin/bash
DISPLAY=:0 && xterm -geometry +1+1 -n login
Save the file and exit
cd /miner/drivers/ && mkdir claymore && cd /miner/drivers/claymore
On your laptop download Claymore from
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B69wv2iqszefdmJickl5MF9BOEE
Winscp it to the mining rig
Move it to /miner/drivers/claymore
tar zxvf the file
nano zec.sh
#!/bin/sh
xinit &
sleep 5
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
./zecminer64 -zpool us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -zwal t1QYSbLrnbECDu76KDcvoyjBbbhsuWxZXWm.miner20 -zpsw x
Save the file and exit
chmod +x zec.sh
Update config.txt file, also modify epool and dpool with your wallet info and remove default dev info
Save the files
screen ./zec.sh
Now you will want to watch for issues
You can close putty whenever, it does not need to be open for your miner to work, and if you want to reattach a screen, log back in using putty and type
screen -r
