Without persistence, yes, 1 GB is enough.  With persistence, I'm not sure.

If you want to try it, make the first partition a bit bigger than the ISO image, but leave as much space as you can for the second partition.  Or, just get a 2 GB drive, so that you can work with round numbers and save yourself some hassle.

so i've got autostart working nicely now.  Thanks.

Apparently I do not understand screen so I am going to avoid that for now.  once I ssh into the box and changed dir to home/user/ and did screen -ls I could see a session (connected)
then i ran the command to disconnect, and it would show disconnected.  but then I couldn't get connected to it.  just said "connect from inside screen?"
so i'm definately doing something wrong.
on the actual machine it works fine, just can't do it through ssh for somereason.

so i tried install xrdp and I can connect to it from windows RDP client.  but then it gives me some another login screen for xrdp.  i change it to sesman-x11rdp and use user/live and it says connected but then crashes.

i can't figure out vnc either, i thought it was already loaded.  do i need to configure it or launch the server somehow?

thanks in advance

hugolp,

can you share how you installed catalyst 11.6 on a linuxcoin 0.2a?

TIA

spiccioli

I didnt. I got 11.6 in my regular linux HD install. Im playing around with LinuxCoin but I am still not using it. When LinuxCoin includes 11.6 Ill give it another try.

[organofcorti]

LinuxCoin 0.2b wont be shipped with 11.6. You can install the latest catalyst manually yourself or wait for the update to take place in a few weeks. Now uploading the ISO guys

Where is this 'ISO' of which you speak? Where can I find it?

(have to love it when a movie quote finally gets some use)

lol it's on its way I stopped the download yesterday due to one of my friends spotting a new bug while I was uploading.

Just posted a video on how to install linuxcoin to your HDD. Its on the OP of this thread but I'll link it again here . Please excuse my voice but I have a stinking cold and the sound quality was crap anyway

Thanks for the video tutorial very useful... Just have a small question about installing on HD, what If I want to reboot remotely at the grub loader screen do you always need to select a operating system? ofcause this is not possible remotely, but im sure there is a way to edit the grub loader to auto boot Linuxcoin??

It will boot linuxcoin after it times out. Think its set to 20 seconds but after you've installed linuxcoin you can play with the grub.cfg config file located in /boot. Here's a great guide

Sorry for the delay guys. Just discovered a major bug in the user setup config and about 30% of the time I'm getting the gdm boot screen with no valid user account. Working on it now

[evlew]

Can you post instruction on running/configuring vnc server?  you say it comes installed? 

[drgr33n]

It's autoconfigured just tick the box and connect.

[evlew]

It's autoconfigured just tick the box and connect.

in synaptic package manager?

[drgr33n]

Nope you just enable this in system settings.

why can't i find that?  i must be losing it....

[drgr33n]

Oh sorry I thought you meant 0.2b you can install it via synaptic umm I can't remember the name of the package just search remote desktop in synaptic for 0.2a.

Hey can anyone tell me how to run the phoenix miner with linuxcoin.  I can't seem to get it to work.. I figure I'm either doing the flags wrong or the kernel wrong or both.

The polcbm miner works fine, but I want to see if the phoenix miner works better.

I"m talking about using it from the start_mining command

I'm not too familiar with terminal yet so not sure how to get to the file and run it that way, although I do know DOS.  I'll learn in due time.

cd ..
cd ..
cd /opt/miners

then use this
https://www.btcguild.com/how_to_connect.php

just keep in mind that is specific for BTCguild, if you are using a different pool or solo mining(which i highly doubt) then switch url for appropriate one
don't forget your paramaters at the end.

also instead of -k poclbm you can try -k phatk
sometimes it works a little better, thats what i use

i've tried xrdp and tightvncserver

can't get them to work though

never had so much trouble using vnc or rdp before

EDIT:  Bah!! figured it out.  have to put ipaddress:1

however.... this shows me a completely new desktop session.  welcome message/agreement, etc.
when i try to launch my start script all the miners launch, then close before displaying anything and then in the console that i launched from it says...

Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display 1.0


EDIT2:  looks like x11rdp is what I want.  says I can connect to display0.  
will report back after testing

update:  x11vnc works great.  the best part is it doesn't really disturb the performance of the miner like i thought it might, but it uses all cpu which is fine by me.

Thats linux commands?

I screwed up actually cd /opt/miners/pheonix otherwise you'll get file not found or something


./phoenix.py -u http://worker_name:worker_pass@useast.btcguild.com:8332/ -k poclbm DEVICE=1

Thanks man, didn't realize how similiar dos and linux can be.  As for my problem from linuxcoins start mining command, I didn't realize that the URL is different when mining with phoenix.  My stupid mistake.

Thanks for your help.

[evlew]

i believe the point of start_mining was suppose to make things easier, by requiring less input.
ie: url was stumping me because I would enter the whole url http://btcguild.com:8332/  when really i just needed to enter btcguild.com

if that helps
