I keep getting "cl.enqueue_write_buffer(queue, output_buffer, output)" and "cl.enqueue_read_buffer(queue, output_buffer, output)" in guiminer using opencl, it just says "starting..." it isn't mining at all, but it is connected to the pool however.
Is there anyway to fix it, I have 0.2-final with the bugfix.
Also tried using phoenix, I specified the location of phoenix.py, yet it says its not found.

I got it working. I logged in over ssh as "root" (you must have set a root password before you can log in) then I did:

Code:

ssh -X user@<yourip>
password: live
sudo su
chmod uog+rw /dev/ati/card*
xauth merge /home/user/.Xauthority
export DISPLAY=:0
aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all

From then on it workes for me as "root" and also as "user"

Code:

root@linuxcoin:~# chmod uog+rw /dev/ati/card*
root@linuxcoin:~# xauth merge /home/user/.Xauthority
root@linuxcoin:~# export DISPLAY=:0
root@linuxcoin:~# atitweak -l
Segmentation fault
root@linuxcoin:~# atitweak -s
Bus error

It works but I have to redo this procedure every time I open a new SSH connection, if I want to access aticonfig or atitweak.

On a side note if anyone is looking for a freelance computer technician with lots of experience in bitcoin / linux hit me up. I would really appreciate the work

What state do you live in drgr33n?

Lets hope the bitcoin price rockets so I can sell what little I have and start turning pennies into pounds

Solarpower, it sounds like he's in the UK if he's talking about pounds...

I'm in the UK bud. Sorry should of said. On a plus note I might release the work I've already done as an alpha version if people want to use it. it's a lot more smarter than the last version and has grsec with linux-3.0.

Im trying to use the phoenix miner and its nonexistant.. GUIMiner is looking for it at opt/miners/guiminer/phoenix.exe   

Where should it be looking for? I can't get it to work using the "start_mining" script either..

exe? This is linux.

[Clarithium]

I know, thats why im questioning why GUIMiner is looking for it there. But when I point it to phoenix.py, it just says "Connecting.." when my windows machine connects right away.

For those who need another keyboard setting, type:

Code:

...# dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

Then select your keyboard and on the next page select "Other" for other language then the US.

@ drgr33n

Can you add this to your wiki Setup (http://www.linuxcoin.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Category:Setup) I couldn't find a way to do it at my own.

I'm receiving consistent segmentation faults with CGMiner, and GUIminer can't connect. I have to be doing something wrong. I am using Final installed to a HD with all the bugfixes and I think I've killed 6 hours hammering away at this problem to avoid having to load another instance of Windows 7.

Did you update cgminer? I used the files from the Ubuntu binary archive file. Do a wget http:... and then untar the files and move cgminer and the .cl files to /usr/bin.

I cannotn seem to do things as root. Whenever I am asked to enter authentication as root, I press enter, bacause there is no password set correct?

There is no password, but to correct this it's simple enough:

Code:

sudo passwd root
<some password>
<confirm said password>

You will have to set a root password if you need. Most root things you can do using the "Root Terminal" instead of the "LXTerminal". Using the "Root Terminal" you can act as root but does not need to enter a password. To change the root PW enter "passwd" in the "Root Terminal" and enter your new PW twice.

I did update cgminer to 1.5.8, and built it from the git source. It finds the opencl files but it then bombs out. I'll try disecting the Ubuntu Binary next.

Did as you said at it worked fine, thanks mate.

I'm having trouble with persistence. Having followed the headless persistent install instructions the os boots up and runs after I've written all the startup scripts and changed passwd etc. however none of the settings or files is recorded over a reboot. Here is the output of mount:
 
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,size=5242880,mode=755,size=5242880,mode=755)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=755,size=10%,mode=755)

This suggests that the os is mounted on a ram drive. I have live-rw on the drive as per the instructions. Any help would be much appreciated.

You are using the latest version of Linuxcoin?

Trying to get bitHopper to work on Linixcoin 0.2-final, but I can't get the base upgraded. BitHopper requires Python 2.7+ with setuptools and greenlet. After some fiddling I managed to get the python2.7 package installed and I renamed the python binary in /usr/bin to python-old and the new python2.7 to python. After this, it appears that setuptools installs as well, but it install 0.6.16. Then when I try to proceed to install greenlet, it fails, complaining that it needs distribution 0.6.19 (I'm assuming this is the setuptools). Ideas on fixing this one, anyone? Thanks.

Ok guys had a little think about things and I've decided to carry on my work with linuxcoin. But there are going to be some changes. I will be releasing linuxcoin for free to the general public, but support will not be free. You will be able to buy support for linuxcoin with bitcoins. I'm planning of having three levels of support.

bronze = bugfixing, general support, live support.
silver = bronze + offline storage, personal support & remote desktop support.
gold = silver + access to VPS for secure browsing, Corsair USB 2.0 Flash Padlock 2 16GB 256-bit AES Hardware Encrypted USB Flash Drive with linuxcoin preinstalled.

Everythings a bit ruff ATM but this is the way it's going to have to be as I find myself working 1000's of hours for free. If you are enjoying linuxcoin for free please consider making a donation to keep this project alive.

LinuxCoin 1.0 is just about complete. It has a shinny new kernel and features that will blow your mind Like ;

A very sexy new bootsplash
Compressed persistent space
PnP cluster mining with persistent booting
Turbo boot (Now boots into your OS in around 3 to 5 seconds)
Sandboxed HTTPD server for extra security while running munin.
32bit version

I have really put some work into this version and I'm not going to rush this and get it wrong So expect nothing soon
