If it's not used in your client for some ssh or telnet weirdness, freeze/uninstall it, then see what happens.

Easy to control remotely through ssh since you don't need to forward X - all the config is in a text file which you can edit in a CLI text editor such as nano.
Title: Re: Cant start mining - X problem - 3 BTC OF REWARD Post by: kjj on August 12, 2011, 04:00:08 AM Use "sudo su" to become root, or just start the Root Terminal instead of LXTerminal.
If you are connecting remotely, you need a startup script to store the DISPLAY environment variable in a file so that you can "export DISPLAY=`cat /home/usr/.display`" when you SSH in. Or, you have a very good chance of getting it with "export DISPLAY=:0" This is all covered in the linuxcoin thread, but it is buried deep.

What im missing ? 3 BTC WHO DARE ME SOLVE THIS did you do the "persistent way" or the "live way"? did you check the box to enable X11 forwarding in putty?

Title: Re: Cant start mining - X problem - 3 BTC OF REWARD Post by: broken on August 12, 2011, 11:06:25 AM I had the same problem when trying to run aticonfig from a remote shell.
aticonfig needs to be run from an active X Session, meaning you need to run it from withing gnome or kde. You should try if this works. There is a workaround to run aticonfig from a remote shell by using a screen session. Install screen: apt-get install screen Login to your GUI (gnome) and open a screen via terminal: screen -dmS ati (creates a new screen in detached mode with name "ati") Open a remote connection (ssh, with same user as above) and run: screen -r ati (attaches to screen) from within this screen you should be able to run aticonfig. I added a startup script for gnome which automatically starts a screen on startup, so i dont need a monitor for that computer. UPDATE: Iīm using ubuntu 10.04 for mining and not LinuxCoin. I dont know if LinuxCoin comes with gnome or kde. I couldnīt find a way to run aticonfig without gnome or kde. If you need a startup script, i will post one. |
