xhost: unable to open display ":0" Paying .2 BTC to whoever can help me.

[insanehero]

Hey guys, so I've been setting up my first bitcoin miners the last few days, however, after finally getting everything installed and getting SSH running on the machine, I'm now running into these errors.

I'm using x3 Radeon 7950 GPU's on Xubuntu on a headless setup and connecting via SSH.

Code:

root@Miner-2:~# sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt
No protocol specified
ERROR - X needs to be running to perform AMD Overdrive(TM) commands

I keep getting this error when I run this command in SSH, but when I hook up the monitor and try the commands directly it runs the commands just fine. So I'm thinking it might have something to do with my SSH setup....



I looked around online and it said I should do the following..

Code:

root@Miner-2:~# export DISPLAY=:0
root@Miner-2:~# xhost +
No protocol specified
xhost:  unable to open display ":0"

However, this didn't seem to work either since it's also giving an error.



Please help! Any help is much appreciated!

Oizopower respons (stuck in newbie jail):
Try "DISPLAY=:0.0 aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt" without the ""
or maybe add sudo if you are not root.

Still getting errors about X, yet it clearly shows its running

Try this:

rm ~/.Xauthority*

Try this:

rm ~/.Xauthority*

jason@Miner-2:~$ rm ~/.Xauthority*

I also tried relogging into SSh after removing it, same error

[ledmaniak]

Have you tried restarting after removing it first?

[Blaater]

Try:
 
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
 
sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt

Try this:

rm ~/.Xauthority*

This seems to be doing the trick, however it's only doing it for one session. Then I have to remove and reboot again

[ledmaniak]

OK.

Have you tried something like this:

sudo su
chmod uog+rw /dev/ati/card*
xauth merge /home/user/.Xauthority
export DISPLAY=:0
aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all

[insanehero]

OK.

Have you tried something like this:

sudo su
chmod uog+rw /dev/ati/card*
xauth merge /home/user/.Xauthority
export DISPLAY=:0
aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all

Yea, it still only lasts for one session though. Thanks for the help btw
