i believe ive tried both
but i don't think the problem lies with the USB stick or how i used the iso, but with the PC since it does work on my main PC
il just fiddle some more with the BIOS, maybe il find something...

anyway, this really sounds more and more as a random, unsolvable problem (or solvable by a solution *way* too easy)

ive been thinking, is there a way to make the linuxcoin USB stick recognized as a HDD isntead of removable media? it just feels like the problem is there becouse a W7 installation works, but thats recognized as an HDD

hi there,

can anybody post me a working install script to hdd, i want to use a usb stick.
but i dont want use a unetbootin stick.

the hdd installer method doesnt work for me, i got many errors @ first boot.

i try this, but i didnt have some luck.

Code:

Gparted /dev/sda1 ext2, /dev/sda2 swap

mkdir /mnt/hdd
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/hdd

rsync -avH --exclude=/proc/* --exclude=/dev/* \
--exclude=/sys/* --exclude=/tmp/* --exclude=/lost+found \
--exclude=/var/tmp/* --exclude=/boot/grub/* \
--exclude=/media/* --exclude=/live/  \
--exclude=/mnt/* / /mnt/hdd

sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/hdd/dev
sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/hdd/proc
sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/hdd/sys
sudo mount -t devpts devpts /mnt/hdd/dev/pts
sudo chroot /mnt/hdd /bin/bash

apt-get install grub2

nano /etc/fstab

Nope I'm afraid not I'd guess the board just don't like the sticks. I will look into this in a while to see if I can help you out more.

That script is incomplete or been copied wrong ? What are the errors your getting ?

well, that would make sense if it wouldnt install windows from USB, wich it does
a windows USB stick gets recognized as an HDD, and the linuxcoin (or ubuntu) as removable media
and the latter wont work :S

Some stuff to try in that thread. Also does the configuration file exist on the USB stick ?

total size is 2319160468  speedup is 1.00
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous error3) at main.c(1070) [sender=3.0.8]

on first boot i got some inode errors, i fix it with fsck.
on sec boot i got this:

1. /script/local-premount/libsplashy not found
2. /etc/init.d/rc Pidof: permission denied
3. /etc/init.d/udev Pidof: permission denied (~15 times)
4. /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh Pidof: permission denied

i change the root password before i start the copy with rsync, its that the problem ?

Edit:
I cant test it for now, but its maybe possible to byte copy the squashfs image with?
dd if=/live/image/filesystem.squashfs of=/dev/sda1

rsync is failing and files are being skipped. You checked the MD5sum of your ISO ? I do know of a small problem with 0.2.1 where some image files are corrupt within the filesystem. But haven't caused me any problems when installing to the local HDD.

what errors are you getting when following my tutorial ? I will be adding a installer to 0.2-final. It's due for release this week

Hi,

After I ssh or vnc to my linuxcoin rig, I run aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all or any aticonfig command, the system say:

No protocol specified
ERROR - X needs to be running to perform ATI Overdrive(TM) commands

Can anyone help me?

You can try setting your DISPLAY environment variable.  You can check it by starting a terminal in the GUI and running

Code:

echo $DISPLAY

My scripts write it into a file for use in non-GUI stuff.

Are you "enabling" aticonfig first?

Code:

sudo -s

aticonfig --od-enable

Then any other aticonfig commands you want to invoke.

I'm about to make the leap to Linuxcoin. I have 3 dedicated miner computers that I can simply use USB thumb drives for.

My question is this....

I have a Windows 7 computer that I use for gaming. It has a Nvidia card that I use for games, and an ATI/AMD card that I use for mining.

Can I use Vmware on that Windows 7 computer to run Linuxcoin and mine on the AMD/ATI card using Smartcoin?

Would like to get some feedback before I go wasting a bunch of time trying it. Better to learn from others successes or failures first before investing the time.

Let me preface my folowing comment: I am a total Linux noob! That said I have not been successful in implementing a LinuxCoin VirtualBox setup on my Win7 gaming machine. Although this would be ideal, it just doesn't work for me. My fallback strategy is to mine overnight on the Win7 machine the same way I do on the dedicated miner: boot from a USB stick--works fine that way, I just don't have access to the machine with Win7.

Code:

echo $DISPLAY

My scripts write it into a file for use in non-GUI stuff.

I get that error all the time, it is the DISPLAY variable.  Put DISPLAY=:0 before any aticonfig or AMDOverdriveCtrl commands over ssh or vnc.  It should it should look like this

Code:

DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all

This will solve segmentation fault errors with miners also when using remote access.  May be a better way of setting it, but I'm not great with linux and this works well for me.

You have to type it correctly. You left out the =

You can't echo $DISPLAY from a SSH session, you have to do it from inside the GUI.

Yes you can you just need to set it up
