Title: having serious issues Bitcoin mining, please help! Post by: cal.97 on May 21, 2011, 12:16:14 AM hey there guys, i installed the python miner using this bash script:
Code: sudo apt-get install python-pyopencl subversion however, when attempting to run, via Code: poclbm.py -d1 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=c*****@live.co.uk --pass=***##* Code: poclbm.py: command not found how to fix? Many thanks! and ill be sure to donate some bit coin to the one who fixes my problem! (as soon as i mine it of course) *edit* if one is more inclined to help, will donate my first 6 hours of earnings to them. (gtx 570 ;) ) furthermore, with the lack of replies to this thread im starting to wonder weather i have made a stupid mistake! Much obliged, gentlemen!

Title: Re: having serious issues Bitcoin mining, please help! Post by: allinvain on May 21, 2011, 12:25:14 AM Try: python ./poclbm.py -d1 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=c*****@live.co.uk --pass=***##*

Post by: CydeWeys on May 21, 2011, 12:28:30 AM ... it sounds like your issue is general command-line knowledge, which is definitely a prerequisite to doing something like GPU mining against the OpenCL API.

Title: Re: having serious issues Bitcoin mining, please help! Post by: cal.97 on May 21, 2011, 12:44:13 AM Well you might start here: http://tinyurl.com/3zeaywo seems fairly a lengthy and drawn out process, would much rather somebody kindly give me the correct commands to fix the problem, in return for bitcoins i then make. Title: Re: having serious issues Bitcoin mining, please help! Post by: mewantsbitcoins on May 21, 2011, 12:47:17 AM Ok, let's try.
I haven't tried this miner before and generally it's a pain in the ass to get everything installed on linux, so let's just try simple commands and see - maybe if you installed it via apt-get it also installed all dependencies and we get lucky. Otherwise I recommend you try LinuxCoin http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=7374.0 Now, go into the directory you installed your miner and type Code: python poclbm.py -d1 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=c*****@live.co.uk --pass=***##* Title: Re: having serious issues Bitcoin mining, please help!

Post by: mewantsbitcoins on May 21, 2011, 12:52:38 AM Well, linux distribution at the moment is not the problem. The problem is that you try running that command, but you are not in the miner directory
Title: Re: having serious issues Bitcoin mining, please help! Post by: cal.97 on May 21, 2011, 12:56:45 AM Well, linux distribution at the moment is not the problem. The problem is that you try running that command, but you are not in the miner directory i realise this, however how can i get to the correct directory, after not specifying one? ??? Title: Re: having serious issues Bitcoin mining, please help! Post by: mewantsbitcoins on May 21, 2011, 01:01:45 AM Ok, I see that we won't get far this way. I recommend you download that LinuxCoin distro and then if you have problems starting your miner, come back here or feel free to pm me and we'll sort it out ;)

Post by: mewantsbitcoins on May 21, 2011, 01:28:18 AM how adding execute permissions to nonexistent file is going to help?

Post by: mewantsbitcoins on May 21, 2011, 01:36:42 AM cal.97 if you really determined to try and make this work try
Code: sudo updatedb Code: locate poclbm.py then you should see the path where your poclbm.py resides. or just post the output and we'll see where it's at edit: are you downloading LinuxCoin? Title: Re: having serious issues Bitcoin mining, please help! Post by: cal.97 on May 21, 2011, 01:44:36 AM cal.97 if you really determined to try and make this work try yes i am downloading linuxcoin :)Code: sudo updatedb Code: locate poclbm.py then you should see the path where your poclbm.py resides. or just post the output and we'll see where it's at edit: are you downloading LinuxCoin? also i will try this, thanks. Title: Re: having serious issues Bitcoin mining, please help! Post by: allinvain on May 21, 2011, 02:00:29 AM yeah you're not even in the right directory I bet...
try typing "ls" and then "pwd" to see where you are once you find the folder where you have the phoenix miner type "cd <insert folder name>" and press enter. then try that whole python command.. Title: Re: having serious issues Bitcoin mining, please help! Post by: cal.97 on May 21, 2011, 02:02:23 AM cal.97 if you really determined to try and make this work try currently installing linuxcoin on a usb stick, or attempting, and those commands return nothing :/Code: sudo updatedb Code: locate poclbm.py then you should see the path where your poclbm.py resides. or just post the output and we'll see where it's at edit: are you downloading LinuxCoin? Code: callam@wejwdfijsfhjnfhndlvjnvanldsndvnsvn:~$ sudo updatedb & Code: callam@wejwdfijsfhjnfhndlvjnvanldsndvnsvn:~$ locate poclbm.py Title: Re: having serious issues Bitcoin mining, please help! Post by: mewantsbitcoins on May 21, 2011, 02:03:27 AM that means your script did not install the miner for whatever reason. let me know how it goes with linuxcoin
Title: Re: having serious issues Bitcoin mining, please help! Post by: cal.97 on May 21, 2011, 02:09:15 AM yeah you're not even in the right directory I bet... try typing "ls" and then "pwd" to see where you are once you find the folder where you have the phoenix miner type "cd <insert folder name>" and press enter. then try that whole python command.. taking iwantbitcoins advice ran the script again, and using your commands managed to locate bitminere0.something or other.. Code: callam@wejwdfijsfhjnfhndlvjnvanldsndvnsvn:~/bitcoin-0.3.19$ python poclbm.py -d1 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=**** pass=**** Title: Re: having serious issues Bitcoin mining, please help! Post by: mewantsbitcoins on May 21, 2011, 02:10:58 AM I think that error is related to sdk not being present. In short - get linuxcoin running ;)
