Indeed brilliant, I have added it to the WiKi though I think I created a few garbage pages trying to work out the catagory thing, and I have not been through and fixed all the formatting yet.

No credit to me, all credit to gopher!

@gopher  very nice - would have saved me days of work a few weeks ago. Since I use almost the exact same configuration but remotely, let me just add you can start each of your miners in a screen session that you can attach to remotely by adding

Code:

screen -d -m -S <screen name> <miner start>

so your script would look something like this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

sudo aticonfig --od-enable

sudo AMDOverdriveCtrl -i0 &
sudo AMDOverdriveCtrl -i4 &
sudo AMDOverdriveCtrl -i8 &
sudo AMDOverdriveCtrl -i12 &

cd /opt/miners/phoenix/

screen -d -m -S one ./phoenix.py -u http://user1:pass1@bitcoins.lc:8080 -k poclbm DEVICE=0 BFI_INT VECTORS AGGRESSION=5 &

sleep 2

screen -d -m -S two ./phoenix.py -u http:// user2:pass2@bitcoins.lc:8080 -k poclbm DEVICE=1 BFI_INT VECTORS AGGRESSION=5 &

Then you can ssh into the machine and use screen -r <screen name> to view and "Ctrl+a","d" to detach.
I don't know how to do a web dashboard so this is my simple way of viewing my miner windows remotely.

Your on to something there !! the 3.0 kernel was nothing special and didn't really make any performance increases so I'm going to revert back to my original one and add grsecurity and PaX

Trip, thanks for putting it on the wiki - great work, I could do not have done the formatting better!

[drgr33n]

Great news !! the grsecurity patch was a success after a bit of patching here and there So we are rocking Debian hardened linux-2.6.29 with grsecurity, PaX, ck optimizations & my own little pepper !! Also included is tor / privoxy / firestarter !!

I need people to test this out ? I'm looking for five people with 0 to lots of experience that can trial for a few days and report back to me with your likes / dislikes and suggestions. Also looking for bugs. If you would like to trial linuxcoin please send me a PM sharpish and I'll be giving out the copy of the ISO tomorrow.

PS we just hit 1000 replies

Just built & tested a rig for a friend. here's the figures I'd say were pretty good.  ? I know its a bit overkill on the hardware bit he's planning to use it as a gaming machine if he ever gets bored of mining

New distro?

Please?

[drgr33n]

New distro?

Please?

lol keep ya pants on do you realize how much work it is to rip out the stock kernel and basically change the way it works ? It's not easy stuff and I've only just been exposed to grsecurity so working through the small things that have come up after the upgrade.

It's getting there I'm not going to put a deadline to this anymore as I can't keep up with the ones I set myself hehehe so trust me it's on its way and it will be worth the wait

The only problem I see with this is that going from beta to release means you fix the bugs and release. If you are adding new stuff it will still be beta. IMO you should have squashed bugs in the beta and released then any new features should have been re-released as a beta.

The way you are doing it, we will always have beta and no release versions.

Don't get me wrong, I like that you are adding to and refining it.

[Jessi]

I would like to be part of the beta test, too. Why not make it "open beta"? 

[Reckman]

How is everyone keeping their miners running? im having trouble with a miner restart script.

Thanks for the help

Looks like my Bitcoin client is corrupt. I get a some sort of "Error: Debian Exception..." shortly after it opens then it automatically closes the client :-/

Running 0.2.1b persistent. How do I repair and/or extract my bitcoins from it?

please say "and i *did* back it up"

copy the wallet.dat file somewhere safe, delete directory and reinstall new bitcoin client. copy wallet.dat file over to new directory. had to do this a few times my self.

Copied the Wallet.dat file to a safe place and deleted directory. What's the best way for thix linux noob to install a new Bitcoin client?

[organofcorti]

download here: http://www.bitcoin.org/

unpack it, and the instructions for installation are in the README.

[drgr33n]

Chill most of the changes are trivial the kernel will be released as a beta and there will be a standard kernel option. After this release I promise not to change much else I just thought grsecurity was a no brainer
