If you deleted a data partition on your HDD and then re-formatted it with a different filesystem type you're pretty thoroughly @$^#ed.
Newbie mistake. I guess I have to reinstall windows again.

Thanks guys for the donations even though I messed up a bit !! Don't worry when the ISO is rereleased all issues will be addressed. Not much work really I should have something by tonight. Instead of pictures as back ground, i understand, you want to show a difference instead of plain solid color, still just use black as default back ground & let users select what back ground they want. Also disable screen savers. Having a picture as background will take some memory & screen saver take GPU cycle or CPU.

I'm with Dishwara on the screen-issues: Black background, no screen saver. Getting back the ability to adjust screen resolution from the start menu (as in v0.2a) would be great. KISS I'd say.

Here's what I currently have going: Everything updates live (once per second) thanks to the power of javascript! At the minute, only requires you to install php5 on top of LinuxCoin, and use a custom version of phoenix. I would like to add some database logging with either sqlite or mysql for history stats... Still WIP! Oh, and I borrowed the style from http://bitval.dorphern.dk/ ! I will make my own when the time comes OMG, i've been waiting to be able to post as a non-newbie!! @nzbtc, You should get with smartcoin dev jondecker76 and leverage his db schema to put a web frontend over it! That would be uber hotness.

Hey guys !! Back now lol I managed to keep my flat by the skin of my teeth last nite had to party a bit I'm working on things today so I'll fix up the iso and reupload. For those that don't want a background. It's pretty easy to change same as windows just right click an empty space in the desktop and choose desktop preferences. My friend is making me a abstract background image so it won't be so busy and in your face . Anything else you want sorting post now and I'll include it within reason. And yes smartcoin will be included Ps: I will work through my pm's tonight. I'm out and in my phone ATM and I hate this bloody phone for typing

But... we like the background w/ the Benjies, it's inspiring :-) Jokes aside, happy to hear you're fine and thanks for all your hard work!!

Could we get a non-transparent term default somewhere? grey-on-white is hard on the eyes. Also, firmware-iwlwifi will cover a number of intel wireless chipsets so that would be a nice package to add in. Finally, this is a custom kernel right? If so can you change CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8 from a module to a built-in? This will give most of us on-demand CPU frequency scaling rather than performance by default (which given that we're GPU mining is a good thing) and help a little on temp/power usage. Thanks! EDIT: Strike the last request after noticing that lost me 3MHash/s due I assume to all the real work of feeding the load to the GPU, sigh.

I had to install the package firmware-atheros to get networking working on my WiFi card, but that's not a big deal, and I wonder how many other people are going to be mining on WiFi cards with this similar chipset. As long as I'm using persistence I'm not worried about something I only have to do once. The major thing is to just get the latest version out there so I can overclock my cards beyond the limits that the Catalyst 11.5 drivers allow!

Until then, what would the command be that's needed to update 11.5 to 11.6 drivers? Is there a purge command, and simple apt-get or gui installer for 11.6? I would rather just install 0.2b with smartcoin, though. Glad it's all working out for you.

What would be the best/easiest way to issue a hard reboot if the kernel appears to be having I/O errors or other issue?

Can't wait till the newest version is finished being uploaded. Sorta excited to see SmartCoin implemented into this project.
It's so exciting, and all that's holding us back is waiting for you to upload.

A networked UPS or power strip is the best way, but not the easiest.

I've heard of some really hacked up solutions that involve wiring up the servo motor on one server's CD-ROM tray to the momentary reset switch on another server's motherboard. And then do it vice-versa. So long as both servers aren't down, you can always log into one to reset the other.

Or you could use the powers of zeus to instantiate an earthquake, which if big enough would be sure to cause the power grid considerable harm. In a week or so, the power comes back on and viola, you're mining for bits again.

Could you edit the title of the thread when you update the version, it's easier to tell than to load the first comment and scroll through it. Also, if you're worried about restarting the system, you could try getting ESXi up and building an image for that and then connecting to the VM server and restart that. It's a bit more work, but it's not too hard.

So, I'm running 0.2b now. When the next version comes out, can I just overwrite the 1st partition with the new iso and keep my persistent partition and my stuff with stay? or do I have to start over with each upgrade?

Reset switch
fine work there detective. explain to me how to do that remotely via ssh? I like the power strip idea, but that involves money. and with my timing on becoming a miner i need to save every cost i can. ESXi seems just as likely to lockup if the cards are what causes the lock but i'm not sure. I'm not ESXi expert but i do know that involves a lot of reconfiguring. I would like to avoid that as well, but thanks for the suggestion. The CD-ROM thing.... WTF? lol... that is the craziest thing i've ever heard. these miners don't even have cd-roms anyways this is more what I was refering to http://smshaker.wordpress.com/2009/03/02/linux-force-rebootshutdown/ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
however when I try to do the first line it returns a permission denied error. I don't really want to mess with the permissions of that file without knowing what i'm doing. can someone explain to me what to do?
