Question

I've tried to install Minergate console version on Ubuntu and when I want to open it but the Terminal give me this error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'spdlog::spdlog_ex' what(): logger with name 'core' already exists Aborted (core dumped).

Answer 1

Having searched further for the answer I found that the issue resides with version 1.6 and later of the minergate software.

Uninstall* the version you currently have:

sudo apt-get --purge remove minergate

Now download and install version 1.5 using the following commands:

curl -o minergate-cli.deb https://download.minergate.com/xfast-ubuntu-cli/1.5 && sudo dpkg -i minergate-cli.deb

Then run the software using the command:

minergate-cli --user <minergate user email here> --xmr 6

Note that the 6 should be changed to however many threads you want to run at the same time which will depend on what hardware you are running.

[edit] added the uninstall command
