Title: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: Mahkul on February 11, 2011, 05:05:24 PM I will give 50 BTC to the person who will write a comprehensive tutorial on starting to mine using ATI GPUs on Ubuntu. The tutorial should include installation of relevant ATI drivers,
Cheers. PS. I will send Bitcoins only after I test it myself and confirm this is working on a fresh Ubuntu install. Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: dingus on February 11, 2011, 05:06:55 PM which version of ubuntu?

Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: davout on February 11, 2011, 06:02:02 PM Never got 2.2 to work ...
Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: Mahkul on February 11, 2011, 06:03:39 PM I can write it. But why SDK 2.2 when 2.1 is faster? Sorry, I meant 2.1. Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: Raulo on February 11, 2011, 06:16:52 PM This should be a complete tutorial. Ask if you have some problems, as I might have had a different hardware/software configuration or forgot about a required package. that I installed before.
------ Make sure all the cards are visible $ lspci -v should have a line (lines) with "Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device" Open terminal and write the following command $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates # the following line added after moa comment later in the thread $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install fglrx $ sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle $ sudo apt-get install fglrx-modaliases This should install Proprietary ATI Catalyst drivers. Create xorg.conf by issuing: $ sudo aticonfig --initial If you have more than one card, do $ sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all Reboot to load the kernel modules. The X should run. To check if the correct driver is installed: $ fglrxinfo Download ATI SDK from AMD webpage http://developer.amd.com/gpu/AMDAPPSDK/downloads/pages/AMDAPPSDKDownloadArchive.aspx 2.1 is recommended. For 64-bit systems, it will be http://developer.amd.com/Downloads/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64.tgz Unpack it to, e.g. /opt $ cd /opt $ sudo mv Downloadlocation/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64.tgz /opt $ sudo tar xfzv ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64.tgz Download http://developer.amd.com/Downloads/icd-registration.tgz and unpack it into root directory. $ cd / $ sudo mv Downloadlocation/icd-registration.tgz / $ tar zxfv icd-registration.tgz You should have /etc/OpenCL/vendors/ with atiocl32.icd atiocl64.icd Add library location (you may want to add it to your .bashrc) (for 64-bit version) $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/lib/x86_64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH And you can test openCL support: $ cd /opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/samples/opencl/bin/x86_64 $ ./CLInfo |grep CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU It should lits all your GPUs (in case of 5970s, two for each card). If only one is shown, issue $ export DISPLAY=:0 In some cases, you'll need to disable CrossFire for 5970. $ aticonfig --list-adapters $ aticonfig --crossfire=off --adapter=all You may need to restart X and/or repeat aticinfig --initial step If you have correct ./CLInfo, you can proceed to installing miners. Download PyOpenCL $ wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pyopencl/pyopencl-0.92.tar.gz Unpack $ tar zxfv pyopencl-0.92.tar.gz Compile and install Prerequisites: $ sudo apt-get install g++ libboost-all-dev subversion git-core python-numpy $ cd pyopencl-0.92 $ ./configure.py --cl-inc-dir=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/include/ --cl-lib-dir=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/lib/x86_64 $ make $ sudo make install Download python-jsonrpc $ svn checkout http://svn.json-rpc.org/trunk/python-jsonrpc $ cd python-jsonrpc $ sudo python setup.py install Download m0mchil poclbm $ git clone git://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm poclbm $ cd poclbm $ chmod +x poclbm.py Run ./poclbm.py to see if all devices are detected. If only one GPU is visible (on multi-GPU system), do $ export DISPLAY=:0 $ ./poclbm.py -u user --pass=pass -o host -p 8332 -d 1 And the same for other GPUs (-d 2, -d3, etc.) If it fails during kernel compilation, try: $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/lib/x86_64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH You may play with "-v", "-w" and "-f" options. See, poclbm thread http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1334.0 Useful utilities: $ aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all shows GPU temperature $ aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all shows clock and load. $ aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0" shows fan speed If you have multiple cards, before checking the fan for each one, you need for first GPU $ export DISPLAY=:0.0; aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0" for second GPU, etc. $ export DISPLAY=:0.1 ; aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0" edit: apt-get update added Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: Mahkul on February 11, 2011, 07:30:09 PM I am testing it using 32-bit version, just replaced 64 with 32 or omitted it wherever necessary. Everything has been going great until I got to: $ cd /opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/samples/opencl/bin/x86 $ ./CLInfo |grep CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU I get: mahkul@mahkul:/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/samples/opencl/bin/x86$ ./CLInfo |grep CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU ./CLInfo: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenCL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory mahkul@mahkul:/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/samples/opencl/bin/x86$ Any thoughts? Sorry, my bad. Made a typo in the LIBRARY PATH. Getting back to testing. Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: Mahkul on February 11, 2011, 07:52:10 PM @Raulo:
When I get to: Code: $ ./configure --cl-inc-dir=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/include/ --cl-lib-dir=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/lib/x86_64 This is what I get: (I assume you meant the user to use ./configure.py and not just ./configure as there is no such file in that directory?) Code:
Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: kiba on February 11, 2011, 07:53:34 PM You need to install numpy, Mahkul.
Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: Mahkul on February 11, 2011, 07:56:46 PM You need to install numpy, Mahkul. Yes, that's what I think too. I briefly looked at how to do it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=566456 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=566456) Seems to be a little bit problematic. I will better let Raulo earn his Bitcoins. Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: Raulo on February 11, 2011, 08:04:03 PM To install numpy
Code: $ sudo apt-get install python-numpy Apt should do all the rest of the magic. And of course, it was ./configure.py I'll correct the post. Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: Raulo on February 11, 2011, 08:04:48 PM By the way, have you already checked CLInfo and it was OK? If so, you are close to finish. Getting drivers and SDK was the hardest part.

I managed to test it with my Radeon 4670 here and i works flawlessly. I am getting ~9 more khash/s than I was getting on Windows XP. I am really impressed. I am a linux noobie, so perhaps what you wrote isn't very complicated for people who are more experienced. But still - impressive. Should I use the Bitcoin address in your signature? I am going to test this with a 2x5850 setup soon. If you don't mind, I may get back to you later if I run into problems with that?

On the machine that has two cards after intalling the drivers I am getting this: Code:
This may have something to do with the fact that the drivers were installed using: System->Administration->Aditional Drivers (I did this before you wrote the tutorial). However, when I do the four steps: Code: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates it always says that everything is already installed. Any thoughts?

I am a linux noobie, so perhaps what you wrote isn't very complicated for people who are more experienced. But still - impressive. I'm quite experienced with Linux and it took me anyway a few hours to make it work. The worst part is that ATI drivers work by magic. If it doesn't work, you have no idea why. That's a problem with proprietary binary only drivers. Quote Should I use the Bitcoin address in your signature? Yes, I'll appreciate it. Quote I am going to test this with a 2x5850 setup soon.

If you have some weird problems, you may try to uninstall the ones from System->Administration->Additional drivers and install the ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates. The latter ones are 10.12 and are recommended (10.11 are as good as 10.12 and better for some but I had no problems with 10.12 while I had problems with multi-card set-up with older drivers). But if you don't have any problems, it's better not to touch it.

I think someone should add a link to this thread in the main m0mchil's miner's thread (like there is one there for doing it with nVidia). Cheers for your help! Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: gwern on February 18, 2011, 08:48:20 PM I just went through this tutorial to get GPU mining working on my Dell studio 17 laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5600/5700 & running Ubuntu 10.10. Tutorial basically works (pocl is giving me between 44-49 megahashes), but it has some rough edges.
1. The final instruction assumes you already have 'bitcoind -server' running. I hadn't realized that the RPC was not optional (and had been assuming the RPC stuff was there for people who were parts of a pool) until someone mentioned the '-server' option and I saw there was no such option in the poclbm code. 2. the 'export' library path stuff seems incomplete. I kept getting a libOpenCL.so.1 error with poclbm (which I knew I had installed as part of the tutorial's directions), and eventually slocate told me where it was and I did another export command which went like `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/nvidia-current/:/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.2-lnx32/lib/x86/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH` 3. hardwiring the paths is a little annoying because I had to rewrite all the filepaths (I'm on i386). Maybe this could be turned into a genuine pastable script 4. the tutorial advised me to the 2.1 SDK, but this seemed to lead to odd problems which went away with 2.2. On the other hand, I hadn't rebooted so I'm not entirely sure what was going on there.

This is more miner related thing, you should have checked m0mchil's miner thread for general instructions. The tutorial was written specifically for me and I did not ask for explaining that. Its only purpose was to get me going with my ATI cards. Quote 2. the 'export' library path stuff seems incomplete.

Quote 3. hardwiring the paths is a little annoying because I had to rewrite all the filepaths (I'm on i386). Maybe this could be turned into a genuine pastable script Good idea. Quote 4. the tutorial advised me to the 2.1 SDK, but this seemed to lead to odd problems which went away with 2.2. On the other hand, I hadn't rebooted so I'm not entirely sure what was going on there. Apparently the 2.1 SDK is the most efficient one (for mining purposes) on Linux.

Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: marcus_of_augustus on March 14, 2011, 08:49:10 PM There is an omission in this tutorial that will send linux noobs astray on the driver install ...
at this point here Quote Open terminal and write the following command $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates $ sudo apt-get install fglrx $ sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle $ sudo apt-get install fglrx-modaliases This should install Proprietary ATI Catalyst drivers. Assuming a starting position as new clean ubuntu install, between setting your repository to ppa:ubuntu-x-swat and getting the drivers you'll need to issue a command to update the repository list in the machine else you will just go ahead and install the current fglrx drivers referred to in the default repository. (10.10) which is exactly what Mahkul got. So it should read $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates $ sudo apt-get update ### or alternately here you can open Synaptic and hit the "Reload" button, check ppa:ubuntu-x-swat is ticked as a repository in Settings->Repositories->Other Software ... also beware an "apt-get update will update your whole system which may take a while depending .... and now it will get the drivers from ubuntu-xswat (if that is what you really want, I didn't use them) $ sudo apt-get install fglrx $ sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle $ sudo apt-get install fglrx-modaliases Also here at the repository it recommends you completely uninstall all traces of any installed fglrx before trying to put another on the system ... and you can install a tool to do that (sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates), so I guess they really mean it. https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates?field.series_filter=maverick (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates?field.series_filter=maverick) http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Maverick_Installation_Guide#Removing_Catalyst.2Ffglrx (http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Maverick_Installation_Guide#Removing_Catalyst.2Ffglrx) Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: mintymark on March 25, 2011, 08:48:45 AM I have followed a lot of this and have
1 off NVIDIA GTX 470 2 off ATI HD5850 After messing with the NVIDIA Cuda libraries (which I did in fact get working) , I gave up on this and decided to concentrate on getting the ATI cards working. So far both the ATI cards work and give the expected hashrate, but if I run 2 threads then the combined hashrate is lower than with one card. If both threads are started with the same -f parameter then its pretty much that the 2nd one to start has a hashrate similar to the cpu and the other one falls to about half what it was. Otherwise it seems that the one with the lower -f parameter "wins" and the gets about half the expected hashrate, and the other does very much much worse than that. podclm.py with no parameters gives 3 devices, the cpu, and the 2 ati cards. Other data: Ubuntu 10.04. poclm version: poclbm/201103.beta1 ATI Stream SDK 2.3 Can anyone suggest what I might do to fix this?

Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: Raulo on March 25, 2011, 09:36:19 PM So far both the ATI cards work and give the expected hashrate, but if I run 2 threads then the combined hashrate is lower than with one card. Do you run poclbm with different device numbers, e.g. "-d 1" for the first GPU and "-d 2" for the other (adjust the numbers according to the list printed by poclbm with no options)? It looks like you don't and if you run it with the same device, they will compete for the graphics card. By the way (but do it after you solve the above issue), SDK 2.1 is faster. Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: mintymark on March 25, 2011, 10:06:25 PM Yes thats what I did.
Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: Raulo on March 25, 2011, 10:22:33 PM Yes thats what I did. Well, let's check what you did because it should work. Could you write the output of ./poclbm.py without any options and your command line options for poclbm.py (obviously without user and pass)? Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: mintymark on March 25, 2011, 10:42:03 PM Thank you! Obviously I HAVE made some error because it SHOULD work. Here goes:
export DISPLAY=:0 mark@bigdaddy:~$ ./poclbm.py No device specified or device not found, use -d to specify one of the following [ 0] Cypress [1] Cypress [2] Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz ./poclbm.py -f 100 --verbose -w 128 -r 60 -v -d1 --user ... --pass ... -d0 works exactly the same way so far as I can see. I use -f 100 because it makes only a small difference to the hash rate but increases display responsiveness a lot. Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: Raulo on March 25, 2011, 10:55:13 PM ./poclbm.py -f 100 --verbose -w 128 -r 60 -v -d1 --user ... --pass ... If you run the above in one window and Code: ./poclbm.py -f 100 --verbose -w 128 -r 60 -v -d0 --user ... --pass ... Code: aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all Both cards should have close to 100% usage. You may also try SDK 2.1 because SDK 2.3 may be broken and SDK 2.1 is faster so it's best to use it anyway. Notice that the device numbers change with SDK 2.1. Quote I use -f 100 because it makes only a small difference to the hash rate but increases display responsiveness a lot. If by "small difference" you mean about 10% then I agree (in my opinion 10% is quite a lot if you don't care about responsiveness).

Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: caston on May 03, 2011, 12:51:33 AM Thanks Mahkul. Phew I was about to pave the thing and put BackTrack Linux on as I downloaded the Torrent last night. Still might play with it on a new machine though.
The kilohash reading didn't look half as impressive as the megahash readings people give but it looks like you just divide by 1000 or put the decimal place before the last three digits. Can I get the client program to do this for me? Also I worked out how to get my gputemp: aticonfig --odgt Default Adapter - ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series Sensor 0: Temperature - 58.00 C Shame I didn't try doing all of this last year!

- Is there a performance difference between using the 32 and 64 bit distributions of Ubuntu? - Any reason this wouldn't work with Ubuntu server edition? - Do you know of any good tutorials on adjusting the ATI card clock, voltage, memory clock, etc? thanks! Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: Bogart on May 04, 2011, 05:19:46 PM Code: $ ./CLInfo I'm struggling to get pass this error. Help, anyone? - I have 64-bit system - ATI Radeon 5850 - LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set - DISPLAY is set I have this same error and can't solve it. I'm using Ubuntu Server 10.04 32-bit with a single 5970. 'env' shows: (output trimmed) Code: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/lib/x86/ I have also added the library path to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/OpenCL.conf (creating a new file), and run 'sudo ldconfig -v' (my own ideas). Up until I did this CLInfo would give a missing library error. 'ldd CLInfo' shows: Code:
'fglrxinfo' shows: Code: display: 0:0.0 screen: 0 'strace ./CLInfo' shows a lot of output. I notice a lot of failed attempts to open something called libGLU.so.1, followed by failed attempts to open libatiocl64.so: Code: open("/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/lib/x86/libatiocl64.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)...a 64-bit library on a 32-bit OS?...hmm... Thanks for any help given. Edit: Looking further up in the strace output: Code: open("/etc/OpenCL/vendors/atiocl64.icd", O_RDONLY) = 4It also went for the 64-bit flavor of that file. I only installed the 32-bit edition by mistake and am getting ready to reinstall using the 64-bit edition, once it finishes downloading. Hopefully that will solve my issue. Edit 2: Looking more, I now see that it first opened /etc/OpenCL/vendors/atiocl32.icd, and /opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/lib/x86/libatiocl32.so, followed by /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 and /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1, all successfully. Then, only after failing to open libGLU.so.1 does it appear to try to "fall back" to the 64-bit stuff...

I installed the propriety driver and the AMD APP SDK 2.4 just like I did on the other machine.
I used most of this post (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7514.0) and poclbm. Now when I mine from that machine I am getting a much lower Mhash rating that on my other machine. e.g. its showing between 110 and 120 Mhash with switches whereas I was getting between 150 and 170 mhash on the other machine using the same card. I am wondering what the bottlenecks are and how to track them down or if it is just that overall this machine is a slower machine e.g. only pcie 2.0 and not pcie 2.1, slower RAM, slower FSB etc. The reason I ask is because its probably better to optimise your setup and software as much as possible before you try other things like overclocking. I will probably also try it with a linux coin boot cd tomorrow. Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: Bogart on May 11, 2011, 06:40:36 PM I finally got mining working on linux by following this guide (roughly), and I thought I'd share a few pitfalls I discovered, to help others to avoid the same fate.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.2 64-bit on a Phenom II X6, using a single 5970, Stream SDK 2.1, and poclbm. Tip #1: Start with Ubuntu Desktop. If you start with Ubuntu Server you'll just make things harder for yourself. Running the "full stack" GUI is essential for mining to work at all. (I ended up "converting" Server using 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'.) Tip #2: The drivers from ati.com (10.11 and 11.4) did not work at all for me for OpenCL using the GPUs. They would drive the display fine, but I was never able to make the GPUs available for OpenCL (OpenCL apps would show the CPU only. Using the drivers from the ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates repo solved that problem for me. Tip #3: The whole business of setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems really clunky to me, and it didn't work either. Instead I added the path to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/OpenCL.conf (creating a new file), and then ran sudo ldconfig. After that everything was able to link dynamically to the Stream SDK just fine. Tip #4: If you have limited internet bandwidth like me, there are a couple ways you can make the install easier. One is to get the Ubuntu 10.04.2 install DVD and add it to /etc/apt/sources.list. This will allow many of the needed packages to be installed from there instead of being downloaded. For a physical disc, you can use 'apt-cdrom' to access it. For the iso, you can mount it using 'mount -o loop ubuntu_dvd.iso /mnt/ubuntu-install-dvdrom', and then add a line to /etc/apt/sources.list like "deb file:/ubuntu-install-dvdrom/ lucid main restricted". Another bandwidth saver is to use squid to cache any downloaded packages and indexes. See http://itkia.com/using-squid-to-cache-apt-updates-for-debian-and-ubuntu/ Pitfall #1: If the GUI (Xorg) is not running, mining and any other OpenCL operations will fail. Pitfall #2: If the GUI is running, BUT is not currently trying to display the GUI (i. e. you use ctrl-alt-F1 to switch to text mode display), any OpenCL programs such as CLInfo and poclbm will hang when you try to execute them. Pitfall #3: If the GUI is running AND displaying, BUT the user is not logged into the GUI (It's sitting at the login screen), the user will not be able to use the GPUs with OpenCL apps (logging in via ssh). You must then use sudo in order for CLInfo or poclbm to be able to see the GPU(s). Pitfall #4: If the GUI is running AND displaying AND the user is logged into a GUI session, then you will able to run OpenCL processes as the user and use the GPUS, HOWEVER you must export DISPLAY=:0 in order to see both GPUs. If you fail to do this, only one GPU will show up. Pitfall #5: If the GUI is running AND attempting to display BUT a display is not connected to the video card, most functions will work, but you will be unable to use "aticonfig --odgt" to query the GPU temperature until you connect a display. The program will just hang instead. Using a dummy display adapter may help with this problem. I hope this information is useful.

Welcome to the world of Bitcoin mining 84C is a little high, i keep mine going between 74C - 79C, play around with aticonfig: aticonfig -h (ati help) aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all (GPU temperature), aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all (shows clock speed), aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0" (shows fan speed) or try AMDOverDriveCtrl: http://sourceforge.net/projects/amdovdrvctrl/ The phoenix error is because you haven't set a valid pool account.

Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: sagefool1975 on May 20, 2011, 01:02:31 AM Tip from the pros, don't install python cl with apt-get install python-pyopencl or it will render the instructions useless as the /etc/ati dir magically goes away never to return. Instead follow the instructions and compile it yourself.

OpenCL is supported on HD4xxx, HD5xxx, and HD6xxx only. http://developer.amd.com/gpu/AMDAPPSDK/pages/DriverCompatibility.aspx HD3850 will not work with OpenCL miners neither in Linux nor Windows.

It seems misinterpreted the opencl-capability of the driver as a support for all cards you can actually use the driver for.

I can login when i reset X to the default driver, but no login with the ATI 11.3. I have tried this guide on 10.10 and 11.04, with ati 11.3/11.4 and both give the same result: fglrxinfo segmentation fault. Catalyst drivers are a major pain in the neck. They are frequently completely broken. I've written this guide with Catalyst 10.12 and SDK 2.1 and I recommend against any other versions unless one really has to (e.g. 6990). I used Ubuntu 10.04 but 10.10 worked for many as well. I finally got it working I kept getting this segmentation fault afther the catalyst install on 11.04, 10.10 and 10.04, then i thought i must be the hardware so i changed the monitor, but the same segmentation fault kept showing up again on 10.04 10.10 and 11.04 even gave a error ./default policy.sh does not support version. Oke they were nameless monitor brands that someone gave to me, but that shouldn't matter. Finally i switched to the monitor of my main computer and YES, this time no segmentation fault. i have used the install procedure from all around the forum and beyond and it went smoothly first time install, from catalyst to SDK/OpenCL up to poclbm.

Title: Re: 50 BTC if you write a complete guide on GPU mining on Ubuntu using ATI Post by: Yeti on June 12, 2011, 11:47:19 PM Raulo, thanks a lot for your detailed guide! It helped me a lot setting up my miner. Phoenix or pobclm did not work for me, however I finally got DiabloMiner running.
I have tipped you the "change" from my first mining payout!

To check if the correct driver is installed: $ fglrxinfo Hi if I do this I get this: ------------------------ Speicherzugriffsfehler ----------------------- in OpenSuse 11.4 and ----------------------- aticonfig --initial=check Check: Found fglrx section. ----------------------- seems to be ok any hints?
