as far as i understand, your not going to be "updating" sgminer 4.
your going to be not using it and using the new sgminer.
so, once more
, you need to download it first. either with the built in browser or the terminal.
i did a search for you and found some instructions here.
http://tabletuser.blogspot.com/2014/06/nicehash-mining-using-bamt.html1. create "sgminer5" folder using terminal "mkdir /home/user/sgminer5" or ctrl+n in File Manager from target folder (home/user).
2. download sgminer-5.0-pre-release-2014-06-22-linux-i386.zip from Nicehash software page
https://nicehash.com/software/ LINKor terminal
"wget
https://nicehash.com/software/sgminer-5.0-pre-release-2014-06-22-linux-i386.zip"
using file manager copy to new folder you just created (sgminer5)
3. from File Manager, while in sgminer5 folder, open terminal (F4) and enter "unzip *.zip"
4. from terminal "export DISPLAY=:0 && export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1 && export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100" or remove the && and do one at a time.
5. from terminal "aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt" should see all your cards, if not rerun #4, #5, reboot, #4, #5, give up.
6. test sgminer from terminal "./sgminer -n" should run a good report.
7. In terminal "wget
https://www.nicehash.com/multialgo/sgminer-multi-7950.conf" then "leafpad *.conf" or from browser
https://www.nicehash.com/multialgo/sgminer-multi-7950.conf LINK
8. Your sgminer.conf is located in /root/.sgminer/ so make sure you "Show Hidden" or ctrl+h for File Manager to see it or in terminal "leafpad /root/.sgminer/sgminer.conf" Copy paste contents into your sgminer.conf. I bookmark sgminer.conf location to make it easier.
9. Edit and add your BTC address to each pool address. I changed my password to "d=0.08" for X11 and X13. I also deleted the last pool entry (remove that last comma). After making changes use the JSON validator to find errors, saved me lots of wasted time.
http://jsonlint.com/ LINK i.e., "password" : ""x"" in download conf is invalid so change to "x"
You can start mining by running "./sgminer" from "/home/user/sgminer5" takes about a minute for screen to appear.
-optional
10. You can create a bash script and label it "x11.sh", make sure you terminal "chmod a+x x11.sh" so it will execute the commands below or use File Manager to change permissions and check the execute button.
added this for clarity: You created and empty file and name it "x11.sh"? and made it executable? No then with File Manager in the /home/user/ folder using mouse: "right click - New- Blank File"
then "right click - leafpad" and add content below. If leafpad option doesn't appear, do F4 "leafpad x11.sh" or whatever name you just gave that new file.
#!/bin/bash
sudo /etc/init.d/mine stop
sleep 30
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
cd /home/user/sgminer5
screen ./sgminer
Now from terminal you can "./x11.sh" just have to be in the user/home folder, thats the default location for lxterminal to open.
I was able to use this guide for PIMP OS and get it working, but I had to "sudo apt-get install pcmanfm" and "sudo apt-get install lxterminal" I launched pcmanfm and lxterminal from Tux Commander, look for box with "root@pimp" beside it. I found the include file manager and terminal annoying to use.
Hit the like button, or something like that. Leave me a note if you found this guide helpful. Should I include screen shot, pictures in future guides?
