Can any one tell how to install 11.6 in Ubuntu 11.04. With Inaba guide i am able to install & mine with Ubuntu 11.04. It has catalyst version 11.5.
Rebuild the box. That's what I did last night, it only takes 30 minutes of so. Use the same guide you used to build it the first time, only this time, instead of downloading Catalyst "11.5", download Catalyst "11.6". Just change the 5 to a 6 in the instructions. Works great. I just reinstalled with 11.6 directly on top of 11.5 and it worked fine, I'm not sure what the risk is doing it that way is normally (I assume the recommendation is to uninstall), might b worth a test since it's only a couple of minutes. Or you can just do this. http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=22855.msg287536#msg287536There is NO instruction to download 11.5 in Inaba guide. He wrote to download AMD APP, not catalyst 11.5. Besides, catalyst 11.5 comes with Ubuntu 11.04 synaptic packages. You are not downloading or installing separately catalyst 11.5. |

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

My bad, didn't really pay attention to it being "Inaba guide". I used a different guide, it had me download Catalyst 11.5. When I saw 11.6 was out, I just changed the numbers and grabbed 11.6 at the same URL. |

Guys can you help :O On that guide, when I go to the Synaptic viewer, only the first two fglrx's have green boxes in front of them. dev and moda are not installed. I try uninstalling the first two, and running the 11.6. After it finishes, i can't sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all, i just gives me errors. Rebooting locks up my computer at the Ubuntu loading screen  That happened the first time when I tried this. I was using Inaba's guide before, so I had SDK 2.4 already. I tried a fresh install, but the same things happened. I can't get 11.6 to work. How did you guys install 11.6? |

How did you guys install 11.6? \ Have you tried booting into recovery mode in the grub menu, then booting into Ubuntu with on of the graphics options then installing 11.6 and rebooting |

In Ubuntu you don't need to convert run file to deb file. Make it executable by issuing chmod +x & then run with root access chmod +x ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run
sudo sh ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run
sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all
sudo reboot

Guess you should point that out to the original OP. I'll test that the next time I build a box. However, it creates like 3 .deb packages, I suppose that may make it easier to uninstall them in the future? Not sure what just running it directly would do from an installation standpoint. |

yes creating .deb package creates 3 files. I tired to install that when i tried in the beginning, but i can't. i am still newbie in Linux. Inaba Ubuntu guide & my above posted method me to mine. so just let it mine for now. Still i want to go back to windows only, as it gives lots of tweaking options & software control & i don't have to remember commands.

Of course under Windows people will steal your wallet.dat for clicking on a link on a web page, but to each their own.  |

Catalyst 11.6 in Linux allows you to bypass the BIOS limits now. 11.5 didn't. Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
Core (MHz) Memory (MHz)
Current Clocks : 975 300
Current Peak : 975 300
Configurable Peak Range : [600-875] [900-1200]
GPU load : 99% I've tested it on both Sapphire and Gigabyte 5830 cards. Cheers, Kermee Interestingly, glakkeclock (which is an excellent program BTW) can't overclock my 5830, which aticonfig can. I ran into this with my throttling script where I use glakkeclock to read the card temperature and adjust the core clock to keep the temp at a preset limit. On my 5830, glakkeclock can't get the gpu above 900 MHz but when I substitute aticonfig I can go as high as I like. I need the auto-throttling because I keep my miner in the garage and it goes above 40C in there in the summer. I reckon it's better to lose a little performance than pay to air condition my 80C cards. |
