This could be a very long post and I apologize because I'm new to Linux, ignorant of the command line syntax for it and just switched from windows.
I am trying to get 5 gridseed 5 chip miners working in dual mode ( sha256 and scrypt) with Linux because I found out after 3 weeks of failed attempts that windows has incomplete and non standard drivers for usb.
I installed Ubuntu ver. 16.4.4 and followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTPJmPxr2Qk
showing how to install cgminer (dmaxl version for gridseed support).
Going line by line using pause on video, I made sure every line of text flashing across the the screen in video matched what I was seeing on my computer and everything went well except for one command -
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-conf libudev-dev libcurl14 - openssl-dev git. This command kept giving errors about missing package until I left out ( pkg-config) then everything worked.
after it installed I tried to run it with the command
./cgminer -o webaddressofpool.com:3333 -u myworker -p mypassword and it errored saying I had to specify specify sha256 or scrypt.
so I retyped ./cgminer --sha256 -o webaddressofpool.com:3333 -u myworker -p mypassword several times. each time it errored stating it could not find servers to log into and suggested a faulty webaddress or misstype and would disconnect.
I started to notice that every time cgminer started the heading would say
now starting cgminer version 4.3.5 dmaxl scrypt
even after using the switch for sha256 and I was trying to use a sha256 mining pool.
So then I tried running it on a scrypt mining pool and everything ran like a champ. all gridseeds detected and accepting shares.
I believe that following the video as I did, cgminer installed with scrypt only ability and would really appreciate help to fix this problem.
Is there a way to uninstall cgminer, reaquire the get files, rebuild the program and get it to run in both sha256 and scrypt without wiping the hard drive and starting all over again from a blank ?
if anyone can help, please be patient and remember that i'm new to Linux and would need step by step command line instructions ( just getting cgminer to install was a huge problem at first because of syntax errors due to left out spaces at certain places) so yes I am VERRY noob at command line.
Thank you in advance for any help someone can hopefully give me.
