Title: Linux newbie needs help installing APP SDK Post by: RHWN on May 10, 2013, 01:23:37 PM Hello dear members!
I just got a 2nd rig dedicated for mining and i thought using Ubuntu (no experience with Linux what so ever). I have follow this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=189499.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=189499.0)) and having problems. Im right at this step: Code: sudo -s The exact line that the problems occur are: Code: tar xf /home/miner/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-lnx64.tgz "Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now" I have downloaded the APP SDK v2.8 Inx64.tgz and have tried both letting the .tgz be located where it is placed after downloading and it also tried to make a folder named miner in the home location ( /home/miner/ ) I get the same error with both methods, so i would need some help from someone familiar with Linux (Ubuntu 12-04 > XUbuntu). Would really appreciate if someone could help me out! Cheers!

You should change "miner" to your login in this line: tar xf /home/miner/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-lnx64.tgz in case your name is not "miner".

Did try this line: tar xf /home/RHWN/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-lnx64.tgz Unfortunately i still end up getting the same error as i did with .../miner/... Should i let the .tgz be where its located in downloads or should i move it somewhere special? Appreciate the post!

Creds to you for taking the time to post that guide! Now i have unfortanly followed the stolen guide and have xubuntu on the machine. I guess i will just need to secure erase the ssd and restart over and make a bootable usb with the right OS! Thanks!

I've found Centos to be a solid choice for mining multi-multi-gpu cards.

I've found Centos to be a solid choice for mining multi-multi-gpu cards. Yeah i read that, downloading CentOS 6.0 iso atm. The setup ill try this on is a 6950 x2 and a 6870. If it works i might change the os on the main rig (580x3 & 6870). |
