OK I got them to work ..here my  2 gekko dust miners at work set at default 150mh (no idea what a good GH speed is) here is my Eligius address below for anyone interested
they are running on Unbuntu 12.04 using the fixes (which I added to the list for Novak's help) he can post this someplace so folk can use it for probably unbuntu but at least
my version for sure of 12.04 LTC version on some older laptops (not the latest unbuntu but still supported with upgrades FYI) ..again prob will work with newer versions too.

anyway my Eligius Address to watch them mine below

http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1PbhCD56EE1ur45UvTca5wEUkAPpTi25oq

below is a pic of them mining (no idea if these are good speeds at 150mh or what but anyway its a pic)



here is my full imgur album to look at my knc shrine to titan(s) etc notice the KNC Jupiter 550gh used now as a gravity assist device to keep the miner bench grounded


Here is the modified list to be used for the above with Novak's additions from the previous post


REVISED FIXED STEPS FOR UNBUNTU 12.04 LTC (and probably will work with newer versions)

If you want to run the sticks on linux, you'll need either bfgminer or cgminer.  Either way you are probably going to have to compile them, but I've had little trouble with this so it's probably just a matter of running a few simple commands.

Here's what you'd do to get cgminer on linux going:
1. Open a terminal.
2. wget http://gekkoscience.com/misc/cgminer-gekko.tar.gz            

This downloads the file- you can save it from your browser instead, it's the same thing.

3. tar -xvzf cgminer-gekko.tar.gz

This extracts the files. which are compressed (like a zip file for linux)

4. cd cgminer-gekko
 
Enters the cgminer-gekko folder you just extracted.

5. sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool

You need to install the dependencies for cgminer.

6. ./autogen.sh

This will generate a configure script for you which will set up compiling for your system.

7. ./configure --enable-gekko

7.1 ADDED FIX (#1) (See below) just run this

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl3-dev libudev-dev

7.2 ADDED FIX (#2) just run this

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config libncurses5-dev and libudev-dev

This will configure the build.  This is the most likely place to have anything go wrong, if it does, let me know exactly what's up.  Odds are it would be some package that you should have installed.

8. make

Performs the build.  If you get an error there- again, let me know details.

You are ready to run cgminer.  This should look something like:

./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr --compac-freq 150

Although if you don't have permissions setup you may have to become root or use sudo, eg,

sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr --compac-freq 150

cgminer should now detect any compacs plugged in while it is running.  Obviously you'll use a slightly different command to launch cgminer, if you use that one you'll be mining for us!  Most pools even post example commands, let me know if you need help figuring it out.

ok works just fine ...anyone can tell me if the speeds are ok etc at 150mh and I can also tweak that later as I wish...but chugging away just fine (pretty lcd lights)

i also have a orico 10 port hub here that says windows and mac but works plug and play just fine with unbuntu 12.04 LTC w/o issue

here is a previous bitcointalk post with pic

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1126705.msg12348793#msg12348793


so all is well ...anyway the above listing (revised) works fine for anyone in need

thanks for the help Novak and Sidehack like the toys and appreciate the help (man prob should get more .....the grin of getting them up was worth the ROI)

but for use as a laugh on my 2 old no longer able to be used compaq evo N800V laptops on my Titan to monitor my Titan(s) this will be some pretty slick "bling"
for them to run too LOL

anyway later I'll prob be asking how to rev them up some ZOOM ZOOM

again thanks all for the help


additional: er by the way it says 54 MONTHS before I make enough to payout....er maybe I don't want to use Eligius huh?  lol

anyway other way to do this on a pool and at least get paid out in dust once every 2 months or some such? (or i guess i can just solo/lotto mine them
or NOVAK would be  like BUY MORE USB'S from them lol

just got a laugh off my page above with the 54 months to payout (edit: now it shows 17 months...progress)

hopefully i get my 4 Gekko Sticks on Sunday ...
is it possible to jump in?

Nö komme aus Bayern

It depends on the miner and version you're using.

Minera is just a User Interface, not a mining SW.

Ich habe zwar keinen Stick, kann Dir aber die Weihnachts-Aktion von MrLehmann an's Herz legen.
Wenn Du die Sticks über Ihn bei Amazon bestellst, bekommst Du die für "günstige" 39,95 € also .

Gruß Carsten.

Tante Edit: Sehe gerade bei Amazon kosten die jetzt inkl. Versand 59,95 €; dann macht es mit Rabatt natürlich ~48 € bzw. .
