You are using it with SDK2.1 or SDK2.2 - (unfortunately) they are not compatible.

SDK 2.3

very nice work,
Did a clean install 64bits ubuntu 11.04/ati 11.4/sdk2.3 and hashkill worked direct without problems and i've got a few Mhashes increase

Alright, to anyone that reported degraded performance: I think I identified the potential root cause and it is related to host-device transfers.

I created a 64-bit build that implements the "usual" way to read GPU buffers from host. Hopefully that would address this issue. If everything is according to my estimations, I will make this configurable via a command-line switch.

Here is the "tryout" build:

http://www.gat3way.eu/poc/hashkill-0.2.4-x86_64-exp.tgz

Note that on systems that do not have that issue, this would be kinda slower. Also please make sure you try that with -G2 -D command-line options.

I had several runs of a few hours and i get about 10% stale rate on all the runs with the old version. the stales won't matter on deepbit, but other pools are not so gentle.
gonna try this new version now

My tryout-machine is a MSI 770-c45/Mobo with Athlon X2 at 3.00 Ghz with ATti 5570 going from 67Mhash to 71Mhash

I tried to follow your ubuntu 10.10 install guide on a mobo msi 770 c-45/ graphics ati 5870, clean install, but i keep getting the problem that after the ATI 11.3 installation, i can't login to ubuntu, the screen stays black. 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 on a clean 10.10 install with Catalyst 11.04 and SDK 2.1 and poclbm
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.

Edit:

Not sure how much lucky you really are Smiley - this block is invalid Sad. Hash has been found faster than bitcoind distributed information about new bitcoin block on p2p network.

ah no, you must be kiddin' right, really unvalid?

Damned, edit: guess you are right, http://blockexplorer.com/block/000000000000588509fa5396e087475431a0b35bfc244a54c25d527c17dcdc06

i'd go hit the casino or the blackjack table right now if I was you, what's the chances ... lol!

I remember a 1 second block that had 8 shares on slush's pool. I was happy to be one of those 8 shares.

Did you go to the casino that day? Wink

I didn't try those lower versions yet, 11.04/10.10 installing/configuring have cost me a lot of hours up till now, i wanted to know if it was possible to mine on the newest ubuntu. But this is something for comming weeks/months to find out.
Thanks

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.  

$ 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.

hello guys,

I am new to this and i have read the guide on mining on windows on mining.bitcoin.cz, but i cant find a guide to mining on ubuntu.
What are the dependencies for making ubuntu run mining software? I have a 5870 graphics card and want to mine on ubuntu 11.04/10.10.
Could anybody point me into the right direction?
Welcome to Bitcoin. See Ubuntu ATI mining guide.

Wow, thanks Holy-fire, this looks like a good starting point, i am going to try it out right away
