Can you tell how and where you got the old version from? And then how did you install it? Well if you can write a guide that will be much appreciated  I also got that screen with 8 connections, but no blocks - but it's been only 20 minutes. I'll leave it for the night and check tomorrow. |

nope, not gonna put windows on it since i would need a huge flash drive for that. if i'm gonna go the flash drive route, i'll be putting linux on it. but my main question was if it's possible to get a linux mining machine in a 1gb flash drive footprint.
It is probably possible with some very small stripped out distro, but why would you want to do that? Just get a 8GB drive and put Ubuntu on it. |

Yeah, my hope was to use the x1 extenders and possibly use all 6 slots (the 5 x16 and 1 x1 slot) for 6 cards/machine.
Pretty risky. Look at Gigabyte GA-770T-D3L - I personally use it with 4x 1x extenders. |

OCZ and Patriot are a safe bet also And don't buy just the cheapest from each brand - get one from the middle of their product line. And I still wouldn't recommend putting Windows on a USB flash drive - I even thought it's not possible. |

The latest new entries: Watts Mhps Watts/Mhps Mhps/Watt 1135 563 0.496 2.016 800 1760 0.455 2.2 This makes my claim of 2.41 MH/J more plausible and I still get to be an anomylous result! Good work guys . You got exactly the same figures as me = 1760 What is the configuration? |

800W for what is in the signature

Any power supply loaded to the max will always use around 10% more electricity from the wall.

I have 3x Kingston 4gb drives that came as "FREE" from newegg purchases before, and they are nothing but trouble.
Same here. Bough Kingston 8GB DataTraveler G3 and got boot and file system problems all the time. So I just bought a Seagate Baracuda 80GB HHD from ebay for £11 and will reinstall soon.
there are just so many flash drives. how is "quality" measured, and how can i tell which one is a "quality" one for a main OS usage? flash drives are not reviewed as much as SSD, so i almost know nothing about flash drive specs.
I would recommend to get this one - http://www.corsair.com/usb-drives/flash-voyager/flash-voyager-gt.htmlAnd if using Linux use ext2 as ext4 uses journal which just kills the drive (too many reads/writes which can also happen in Windows) |

800W for 1760Mh/s = 2.2Mh/s for every Watt (the bigger the better) I believe that is pretty good |

With the last command before reboot, I'm getting: user@box:~$ sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=allUnable to open /etc/ati/control, please reinstall the driver.
aticonfig: No supported adapters detected If I use Ubuntu's Additional Drivers utility, it will see the adapter but the platform needs to be specified and attempting to mine sends it into a frenzy of errors. Any suggestions? Instead of sudo apt-get install fglrx try this: |

this will then replace line 15 of guide correct?
thank you very much for your help
Jenette
Commands 1 and 2 replaces line 15 from the guide Command 3 is equal to Line 27 from the guide Command 4 is equal to Line 28 from the guide So you do Commands 1 and 2 instead of line 15, then follow the guide to the end. |

There's always a chance of anything corrupting your flash drive if you use shitty flash drives. Same goes for hard drives. Use quality materials and you're less likely to run into problems.
I've been running OS's from flash drives for a couple years now and I have yet to have a single corrupted flash drive.
Does Kingston 8GB Datatraveler G3 sounds shitty to you? Also do you use ext2 or ext4 with yours that are running fine for a couple of years? Because ext2 doesn't use journalling, thus much better suited for flash drives. While ext4, which is the default Ubuntu 11.04 file system is much more damaging to the drive. |

2011-07-07 was the best for me so far and with 2011-07-17 I see no improvements - the speed is 1758-1760 as before with the same fluctuations.
4x XFX 5870 @ 960Mhz Core & 300Mhz Memory
Ubuntu 32bit
SDK 2.1

So the reason behind all my troubles was the flash drive got corrupted and I can only speculate that Ubuntu did it.
So don't get surprised if your flash drive dies.
I think the author should put that as a warning in the original post.

since X isn't running then i think you need to have it start xterm, which is `autoOpenXterm="1"` in common.lib.
I tried, but that is not the problem. Any other suggestions? Btw I also tried: export DISPLAY=:0 sudo DISPLAY=:0 ./startmining.sh But it didn't work too. |

are you serious to your second question?
Haha, forgive me, I'm trying to get a solution from a couple of places and did not think about what this topic was |

I suppose it's possible, but I've been running for at least a month with a Patriot RAGE XT 8 GB USB stick in a couple systems with no problems.
Do you have a Swap partition? And is it Ubuntu you are using? |
