First, just try to start the software without using a config file... pass the parameters in manually.  Also, just start the thing with the most basic options, don't bother with all of that stuff you've got in your config file for now.  For example:

Code:

./sgminer -k x13mod -o stratum+tcp://launch2.suchpool.pw:3362 -u beki.begi -p xxx

If that works, then the problem is in your config file.

Also, in your config file... why are some of your parameters quoted and others not?  Example:

"intensity": "17",
"failover-only" : true,

Is it supposed to be that the boolean values are not quoted?

Of course, you should probably do what the error says and start it again with -T to get more details...

I did what you said but I got this after typing sgminer -T. What does that mean?

litecoin@litecoinpc:~$ cd Downloads/
litecoin@litecoinpc:~/Downloads$ cd sgminer/

I DID exactly what you said used just manually vonfig file when typed sh. sgminer.sh  this came out. what does it mean?

[13:30:32] ./sgminer: -k: Invalid parameter to set_kernel

Dunno if you still have trouble with this but these two commands in terminal:

export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1

Should fix you right up.
