mining GPU on ubuntu

[electronicash]

Not sure if I can mine though but my computer is installed with ubuntu with 2gb of gpu. I wanna mine coins but i just don't know which coin and mining software to use. any recommendation please.

Which card is it exactly? It will be pointless if you have a Nvidia card.

Ethereum could be the coin for you to mine, everything else will definitely not be profitable.
It also depends on how much you pay for electricity and if you are willing to possibly damage your hardware for not much gain.

qtminer (can get it from ethermine pool site) has 2 Ubuntu-specific packages available, one for 14.04 (which I'm currently using on one of my 2 multi-GTX rigs) and one for 15.10 I think (might be for 15.04, I forget offhand as I couldn't find a good place to download Xubuntu anywhere other than 14.04 and the current 16.4 THAT BREAKS PROPRIATARY DRIVERS NEEDED TO MINE WITH).

 Ethereum isn't pointless on NVidia cards - my GTX950s are actually pretty competative with AMD comparable cards, though the GTX960s aren't as much so - but it's still profitable on them for the time being.

 If your electric is VERY cheap, X11 can still be mined for a profit on an efficient setup.

Do you can show your gpu because your information about your hardware is little.
