Title: headless ubuntu
Post by: optimator on August 24, 2012, 05:02:26 PM
I have Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop installed. I've successfully started the machine and mined with a terminal attached to a card.

I've no taken the terminal off and rebooted. I want to create a headless solution, but I'm not sure where to start.

I see X is running. I try to do:
Code:
xhost+
but I get:

Code:
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
xhost:  unable to open display ":0"

Code:
sudo aticonfig --lsa
shows


Code:
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
* 0. 01:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series
  1. 02:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series

* - Default adapter

Where do I start?

Hey Optimator! RTFM (again) - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gw7YPYgMgNNU42skibULbJJUx_suP_CpjSEdSi8_z9U/edit?pli=1

Pay particular attention to the
Code:
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf 
and
Code:
apt-get install byobu

The launch byobu, start your cgminer script, and press F6 to disconnect from byobu, leaving cgminer running - Just like it says!
