LinuxCoin OpenCL Kernel Error - Fix

[aggietallboy]

Good Evening all,

I too was hit by the strange OpenCL kernel error for LinuxCoin.: see here https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7374.msg219317#msg219317.

I found what appears to be the fix...

It's too simple...


run your script from the root command prompt

voila.

worked for me

(Please move this into that section/thread... i've been lurking, and hadn't felt the need to post until now )

Same problem here, only the fix listed on your link did not do anything for me.  Kinda of a Linux newbie, but I did get everything to work (persistence included) except I cannot get the GPU to mine.  I can mine w/ CPU OK on BTCGuild, my 6950 get recognized by aticonfig, when I start the phoenix miner, it connects and it just sits at 0 MHash/sec - poclbm just gives me a empty terminal window.  Tried Hashkill, I can log into the pool, I'm getting new blocks, but the speed is listed as 0 MHash/sec.  It looks like there's a missing piece - card is a brand new Sapphire 6950.  Ideas?

Thx!!!

Damnit im getting this same error now and cant seem to fix it...
And it used to work fine for a while...

The proposed fixes have not worked for my yet. Anyone have another fix?

I noted just now that after I rebooted, I could finally use the script I'd saved on my desktop, without having to run it as root.

I've added in a TeamViewer install with package manager.


I'd love to edit the startup config, so that I can launch these automatically, but I'm having a hard time finding it... Anyone able to post over on the main LinuxCoin thread and ask about this?

Thanks!
