Anyone knows how to overclock these on Linux? I have ATI Catalyst on Ubuntu, but it's missing the overdrive section that windoze has...

I received a message "accepted" a couple of hours ago. Does that mean I found a block? Nothing has appeared in my wallet, though. Unfortunately I rebooted the PC by now, so I can't remember the value associated with the message - unless it is in some log file?
You will receive the 50 BTC once the block has been confirmed 100 times. Less than a day usually. I think it's 120 times, isn't it? |

@Raulo just so you know I reinstalled Ubuntu and followed your guide again. The cards are working perfectly now. Thanks again!
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!

Well, something is broken with the fglrx driver installation. I told you not to touch it if it worked  What is the result of? This: mahkul@mahkul:~$ dpkg -l |grep fglrx
ii fglrx 2:8.801-0ubuntu1~xup~maverick Video driver for the ATI graphics accelerators
ii fglrx-amdcccle 2:8.801-0ubuntu1~xup~maverick Catalyst Control Center for the ATI graphics accelerators
ii fglrx-modaliases 2:8.801-0ubuntu1~xup~maverick Identifiers supported by the ATI graphics driver
Also, what happens if you try to install fglrx driver again? $ sudo apt-get install fglrx
This: mahkul@mahkul:~$ sudo apt-get install fglrx
[sudo] password for mahkul:

fglrx is already the newest version.

There are several people on this forum who could break the prodnet tomorrow by flooding it with hundreds of small transactions that use up the networks CPU capacity and make it take forever to download the chain (so that many users just give up waiting).
Not true. There are fees for tiny amounts transactions and there is a maximum size limit for blocks. Yes, but after exceeding the "free of charge" size of the blockchain wouldn't all transactions (also the genuine ones) have to pay the transaction fee? Such an attack could affect everyone resulting in only the attacker's transactions being included into the current block. Correct me if I am wrong. |

aticonfig should be in the fglrx package. xorg-driver-fglrx is an old package. But these drivers work (or not) by magic and there are millions of possibilities of conflicts between version so something might have got broken. What is the result of $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/aticonfig
I have a symlink to /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/aticonfig Try running $ sudo /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/aticonfig --initial
I tried both: mahkul@mahkul:~$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/aticonfig
ls: cannot access /etc/alternatives/aticonfig: No such file or directory
mahkul@mahkul:~$ sudo /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/aticonfig --initial
[sudo] password for mahkul:
Unable to open /etc/ati/control, please reinstall the driver.
/usr/lib/fglrx/bin/aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
mahkul@mahkul:~$

On a side note, is there any easy way to upgrade those drivers that I installed via the system->administration thing? I have no VNC access to that machine, only SSH. Thanks in advance for any help with that.
You can always login with X support via and runs the System->Administration->Hardware Drivers thingy. Probably a better option to update is to remove those drivers altogether $ sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* xorg-driver-fglrx
and install the ones from the ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-update. I removed the old drivers using the remove command there and I installed the ones from ppa by performing this: $ 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
However, now when I try to use aticonfig: mahkul@mahkul:~/Downloads/poclbm$ sudo aticonfig --initial
sudo: aticonfig: command not found
Where did it disappear? Or is this a path issue or a missing package? EDIT: I read somewhere that this could be due to the xorg driver missing. I tried to install it, but this is what I got: mahkul@mahkul:~$ sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[sudo] password for mahkul:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xorg-driver-fglrx : Depends: fglrx but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
Any thoughts? |

Darn! That'll teach me for staring at bitcoincharts.com all day ;-) Mine is better... much shorter. I may use your services next time. Currently I am struggling with installing my audio interface (TASCAM US-144) on Ubuntu. Would you know much about that? |

I am logged in via two ssh tunnels as the same user at the same time. On one of them this returns PASSED! On the other one: mahkul@mahkul:/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/samples/opencl/bin/x86$ ./CLInfo
./CLInfo: /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so: no version information available (required by ./CLInfo)
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cl::Error'
what(): clGetPlatformIDs
Aborted
It has to work first before getting into poclbm.py. Why does it look for /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so? Do you even have /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so? Do you have LD_LIBRARY_PATH correct? Also, set DISPLAY=:0 to make sure it is correct. If it does not help, give output of $ ldd ./CLInfo I think I have had too much of alcohol this evening. Of course I didn't export the Library path on that console window... Thank you so much for this again! Bitcoins sent, as you know. On a side note, is there any easy way to upgrade those drivers that I installed via the system->administration thing? I have no VNC access to that machine, only SSH. Thanks in advance for any help with that. |

On the two-card system I get: mahkul@mahkul:~/Downloads/poclbm$ ./poclbm.py --user=user --pass=pass

I am getting that too. Was that ever resolved?
This is an OpenCL problem. Is $ cd /opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/samples/opencl/bin/x86_64 $ ./CLInfo working correctly? It's my fault. I had too many miners running. I think this comes up when the device is in use by another miner! I wonder was that the case with the other person that had that error message? EDIT: Actually, no... this is weird. I am logged in as the same user via two SSH tunnels. On one of them the miner is working, on the other I get this message (even if the other one is not running). Any explanation for this? |

Hi,
I try to install the GPU miner under Ubuntu and I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "poclbm.py", line 23, in <module>
platform = cl.get_platforms()[0]
pyopencl.LogicError: clGetPlatformIDs failed: invalid/unknown error code
I would appreciate some help.
I'm using an 5850 and Ubuntu 10.4.
Thank you.

@Raulo On the machine that has two cards after intalling the drivers I am getting this:
mahkul@mahkul:~$ fglrxinfo
Error: unable to open display (null)
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: $ 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
it always says that everything is already installed. Any thoughts? Sorted: just added -display :0 switch |

samples/opencl/bin/x86_64/CLInfo: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenCL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Either incorrectly installed SDK or unset or incorrectly set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. See, the tutorial I've just written: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3359.msg47174#msg47174I was getting that when I didn't specify the LIBRARY PATH. Just double check it for typos. |

..why should BitLex pay for steven's mistakes? Wasn't it BetLex's mistake to lend to stevenbucks in the first place? If you borrow, you should give back. I don't think BitLex knew that steven was using those bitcoins for gambling. Don't get me wrong, I am pity for steven and I happen to gamble as well, but never with borrowed money. Still, he needs to pay it back - he's already doing it by offering his services for bitcoins that will be sent to BitLex directly, so what's wrong with that? I think it's fair. |
