i have a question im a complete newbie to mining i have an asic bit fountian but when i run bfgminer my computer doesnt read or mine using the miner it uses the cpu on the comp. I always have to make bfgminer search for devices when i do command ./dev/ttyusb# it says no device found then i run auto and it recognizes the cpu and starts mining rather than the miner.

OS:ubuntu 64
miner:asic bitfountain (336mh/s)
command used to open bfgminer: bfgminer -o http://pit.deepbit.net:8332 -u crashpapaya@gmail.com -p password -S all

can someone please help ive been mining over a week at 1.6mh/s   

hi guys newbie here (i know im late to the game)

so i just recently started mining and just recieved my first low end miner (icarus) but i have had an issue with my miner green light stays on so i know its in idle meaning i know that the computer or bfgminer is not communicating with my miner....i know im missing something here (OS is ubuntu)

cammand line:

bfgminer -S all:auto -o http://pit.deepbit.net:8332 -u crashpapaya@gmail.com -p password -I 9


so when i start the miner i have to make bfgminer search for devices even when icarus is connected the led stays on so i know its not recognizing the miner

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated oh plus i am somewhat a newbie on ubuntu software also
