Re-image note:
To update the PIMP IMAGE you must re-image your SSD with the new .img file and re-configure. pimpup only can update miner.farm agent, pimp software, and miners at this time.
Download links are on your miner.farm account page: https://miner.farm/account
Thanks team for your support and diligent testing!
Hello, sorry for the late reply, but this is how you set up the motherboard: https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/5076/asus-b250-mining-expert-bios-settings-pimp-os-v2-6
@Mal -
Thanks again. I have followed the steps as prescribed and I also had a friend of mine burn it with his Linux setup. It appears it is a motherboard issue for me because it still won't boot.
Thank you to everyone that has helped and now that I know what the proper image should look like (both of my new burns look exactly like what Mal posted) I can see that I have a MB issue to tackle. Might be time for a new one.
Thank you again.
Regards,

Some mobos will enable iGPU by "Fallback" if it detects a "Fault" (riser connected without GEN2/GEN1 settings) or hardware issue... Can try simplifying rig down to 1 GPU in first x16 slot and verify proper operation/mining then build up from there.
@melt @Ryushie
From a few threads I've found it says you need to have an x-display running on each GPU for nvidia-settings to work.
but im no master linux operator and am not sure how to go about fixing this
MacOS Catalina user here: perfect install following this procedure:
download image to iMac
unpack
plug in Wavlink USB-C connected cloning dock (SSD in "Target" slot)
Initialise disk when MacOS recognised it was plugged in (disk was already formatted for ubuntu previous install 18.04)
Start up balenaEtcher imaging tool
drag .img pimp image to the Image side of the balenaEtcher tool
select the SSD, USB-C connected disk
Click "Image"
Wait for it to finish
turn off dock
unplug SSD
plug SSD into AMD GPU rig
Startup
connect from iMac via ssh to the rig once started.
paste the key at the prompt
hit "Enter"
boom.
You get Max agents added to key? Clear key rig count in Miner.farm Account page. Quick Video: https://youtu.be/awuWbLqT4Pk Still problems? re-write SSD, clean eject, and SSH key in: https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/268/can-not-validate-license-key/7 and https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/14/entering-the-key-for-the-first-boot
With ethminer, You get more settings to pick from, but you have to set them! Make sure you use your troubleshooting skills and the pimp --test and pimp --debug commands as well as the healthy amount of example pools.
Or you can try another miner that is easier to use out of the box.
Friends dont let friends use safari. Install ANY other browser and try again, perhaps. Or install discord. Or try on a phone. Or try one of these helpful videos: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+discord+on+mac
Set what you can and see if you can boot, validate, and ssh in. If that doesnt work we can look at your manual and suggest further. Also, we have folks in discord chat to help you live anytime.
PiMP Install Re-explained by Broomey from the PIMP Support Team - Thank you Broomey!
Do you have a Windows pc or laptop handy? Coz you usually use that.. plug your soon to be pimp ssd onto that.. use DMDE (it comes with the download of the pimp os) to copy sector's from the 2.25.2 image to your ssd.
When it's done, it will tell you it's successfully complete, you then close all those windows and make sure you eject your ssd properly like you do a usb stick. Once you do this.. you put your ssd in your mining rig and fire it up. 👍
If you have a screen connected to your rig.. you will get to a screen that asks for your activation key. To avoid any typos, best to use PUTTY from your windows pc or laptop to control your rig.. copy and paste will be your friend. 👌
Here's a little cheat sheet I made to help get ppl going. 👍🍻
