Title: Help? Get Mining Again on Ubuntu Precise Pangolin 12.04 Post by: akston on April 30, 2012, 07:42:59 PM I've been looking over the various guides for mining on Ubuntu 10.10, 11,04, 11.10 now that I've upgraded my system
AMD users installing Ubuntu 12.04 get a variant of the Catalyst 12.4 drivers, which IIRC already has the AMD SDK included or some variety of baked-in OpenCL support that previous versions haven't. That sounds like a significant enough difference to break all previous how-to guides. So are there any suggestions for getting up and running on the new Ubuntu LTS? I was using phoenix on Ubuntu 10.10 before thanks to this howto... how much of it is still applicable? What do most people install for mining now? I have a Radeon 5850 http://foreverrising.wordpress.com/2011/04/16/bitcoin-mining-and-ubuntu-10-10-ati-radeon-5xxx/ Thanks! Title: Re: Help?

bitcoind compiling was easy. I just had to use a newer version of libdb Code: (https://gist.github.com/2503687) sudo apt-get update |
