LinuxCoin A lightweight Debian based OS with everything ready to go.

[drgr33n]

You could setup a nfs and mount that apon boot or send everything via ssh after booting ? I am looking into this but doing this properly is going to be a big job. I was thinking of some sort of watchdog that sends the files and starts up mining on the nodes once the server detects a reboot.

Sorry to bump my thread but thought this was worth bumping !! LinuxCoin now has it's own debian repository. Now you can update your system without re downloading your ISO !! For now if you are running prefinal you can do the following.

Code:

rm /etc/apt/sources.list
nano /etc/apt/sources.list

and paste the following into that file

Code:

deb http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ sid  main non-free contrib
deb-src http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ sid  main non-free contrib
deb http://www.linuxcoin.co.uk/apt sensi main

Save that file and continue with the following steps.

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install bitcoin cgminer diablominer guiminer hashkill phoenix poclbm

Did the above today -- took about 30 minutes to download, unpack and install it all. However, when I booted the updated, upgraded 0.2-final it got all the way to the final desktop and seemed to be running (I inserted another USB flash drive and the filemanager popped up) but my keyboard and mouse weren't seen.  :-/

Ops you've upgraded to the latest kernel aswell I forgot about them being in there. I'll fix that up tomorrow. Hold on two secs I'll upload some files for you to replace.

EDIT:

Go over and download the initrd and vmlinuz files here And replace the ones located in /live on your usb stick. next time you boot you will have full functionality again.

Nope, that didn't work. USB Keyboard and mouse still not seen.
[/quote]

What version are you running ? It sounds like you've managed to upgrade your kernel from somewhere. when I tried the following steps on 0.2.1b I had no problems which is strange.

If you boot without persistence then mount your persistence space. If your using a persistent file this will be located in /live/image. so you can mount like so.

Code:

mkdir filesys
mount /live/image/live-rw filesys

Then copy your boot files across.

Code:

rm /live/image/{vmlinuz,initrd.img}
cp --preserve filesys/boot/{vmlinuz,initrd.img} /live/image

And reboot. If this works post back and I'll give you the rest of the instructions on how to upgrade to the latest kernel.

Today I installed the pre-final. During installation I followed this instructions: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7374.msg286940#msg286940

First it seemed that everything was fine, but there where some little things I am wondering about.
Sometimes when linuxcoin is starting, it is asking me for a password, which I can bypass, by pressing enter. Because I normally do not have a keyboard attached to this machine, it would be better, if this would not happen. Does anyone know how I can stop this screen from appearing?

If I try to shutdown the computer by using the red button in the right bottom corner, I always ending up in a black screen with a blinking white cursor on the upper left. Because I would sometimes shutdon the computer remote, I need to know why this is happening and how I can stop this.

The third is more a question:
can anyone tell me, how can I make the "Remote Desktop" autostarting with correct settings?

The Idea behind all of the above is, to control the machine completely remotly, but the actual behavior makes it impossible for me, to shutdown or restart the machine without having a hand on it.

Thank you for your help. ;-)

Both of the first bugs you pointed out have been fixed in the final version and I will be updating the repository to reflect this soon. I really need to spend some time packing up the final version so may not bee untill sunday I'm afraid.

You last question the information is on the wiki. Take a look at

http://www.linuxcoin.co.uk/wiki/index.php/SSH_X11forwarding and http://www.linuxcoin.co.uk/wiki/index.php/SettingupVNCremotely

If I understood the repository-thing correctly, than I do not need to make a complete new persistance usb, I can update then over internet, right?

Thank you for your help. I tried to setup ssh_x11, but during the connect from windows, putty is prompting me for a password, which I do not know... 
Is there a standard-password?

[mikeo]

Mounting live-rw from within non-persistent boot of 0.2-prefinal didn't work, seems to be write protected. I did the update, upgrade from within 0.2-prefinal persistent. I think I'll just re-image the 0.2-prefinal and start over. Maybe boot into non-persistent before updating, upgrading?

BitCoin Client Selection Suggestions.

PASSWORD
Being that you mentioned you were re-doing the Password issues of the secure bitcoin selection I did not bother to test as I had planned but will offer this set of suggestions:

I strongly suggest that you do *not* have a secure and non secure bitcoin client options. This will invariably lead to supreme confusion with average users.

Just have one bitcoin selection which asks for a password (none of that silly mount dev stuff please). The password can be <Enter> (I would suggest this on fresh startup). Upon successful entry of existing password user should be allowed option to change password or continue directly to bitcoin client.

BACKUP
It would be extremely helpful if there was an easy (GUI) way for the user to email the encrypted wallet.dat file (with the same password used for entry to bitcoin). It would be best if this file could be unencrypted in both windows and Linux, but if only Linuxcoin that will suffice.

BOOTUP
Please get something on screen quicker and leave the splash screen, or at least text saying one moment please. Those long black screens make one feel like nothing is happening.

SHUTDOWN
Seems to take forever and that black screen of death sucks. Do something as soon as I click shutdown and let me know when to take out the usb like the last version did. I seem to wait an eternity and when I do yank the usb it freaks out and vomits text all over the screen

BROWSER
The new browser is ugly and seems incredibly slow. I would prefer a return to chromium. It would be *really* nice if java was installed.

I have been frustrated at my attempts to make it work with nvidia or cpu with both guiminer and bitminter.com. I know they suck but wanted to be able to at least demo something to those without good gear.

Hmm, trying to use Linuxcoin, but having a problem

Followed the guide here to the letter.

When I reboot, it looks like it's going to start up, but then shuts down AMDOverdriveCtrl windows and nothing happens.

And, it won't run at all with the auto.sh script, same as before, starts up the terminal and the two instances of AMDOverdriveCtrl, then shuts everything down.

*Edit*

Hmm, seems if I type this in the phoenix directory, it starts up just fine:

Code:

./phoenix.py -u http://USERNAME.WORKERNAME:PASSWORD@mining.bitcoin.cz:8332/ -k poclbm DEVICE=0 VECTORS AGGRESSION=3

so Phoenix works, just not via the scripts. Guess I try and figure out where they are going wrong

[CyberPhunk]

'k, got both cards working, had to do it manually though.

Wish I knew what the problems with the scripts were. 

[stryker]

one thought, in the wiki in the section for creating the startminers.sh shell script there should be added:
aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 70"

That way you can be sure those who are new to this or not so savvy at the time will at least be running their gpu fan at 70%.... just a thought.... those casual miners are likely using a gfx card in their closed desktop pc.

The Idea behind all of the above is, to control the machine completely remotly, but the actual behavior makes it impossible for me, to shutdown or restart the machine without having a hand on it.

Thank you for your help. ;-)

All these bugs have been fixed in the final version. I'll update the repository today bud. Stand by for more info.

Mounting live-rw from within non-persistent boot of 0.2-prefinal didn't work, seems to be write protected. I did the update, upgrade from within 0.2-prefinal persistent. I think I'll just re-image the 0.2-prefinal and start over. Maybe boot into non-persistent before updating, upgrading?

Sorry bud this was my fault. i should of named the kernel something else so apt-get doesn't get confused and install the debian kernel over the top of linuxcoins. If you have anything you want to keep on there contact me via PM and I'll send you my skype address and talk you though recovery.

LinuxCoin will work on nearly every GC you can think of. Its not just for mining hence the security beef up and things. It has most drivers and for everything else there's vesa.

cpumining works fine on phoenix / poclbm / cgminer try one of them. Alo the latest kernel has been patched for lightning speed CPU mining

Help?

Here's a script that will work.

#time to start mining
#setup cards

sudo aticonfig --odsc="$CCLOCK,$MCLOCK" --adapter=all
sudo aticonfig --odcc --adapter=all
#lets go
cd /opt/miners/phoenix/
for i in 0 1; do # More cards ? just add more numbers. for eg 4 cards would be 0 1 2 3
  DISPLAY=0.$i sudo aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 $FANSPEED"
  python ./phoenix.py -u http://$USERNAME:$PASSWORD@$URL:$PASSWORD -k phatk \
  WORKSIZE=$WORKSIZE AGGRESSION=9 VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOPS=false DEVICE=$i &

done

PS guys linuxcoin final will come shipped with catalyst 11.7 sounds like a good idea right ?

@ CyberPhunk:

I ran my own guide to the letter and surprise-surprise I've got exactly the same issue.

So, quick run trough the lines of the scripts revealed the culprit - there is an extra "&" that you may want to remove, in the startminers.sh, the one that is listed at the end of the last phoenix.py execution.

It should run fine then.

Sorry for the mistake, I've no idea how that got there

@stryker

the way it is now enables automatic fan control, which in my opinion much better than 70%, at the levels we load these cards anyway.

But if one wants to experiment with the thermal/noise management, by all means, that is pretty good way of starting.

keep them miners working guys! :-)

And don't forget that all credit should go to drgr33n, the creator of LinuxCoin, without which none of this would have been possible.

Thanks again, chap!

awww thanks man !! i haven't got a clue how many users their are but I would say theres alot PS guys 11.7 is fooking awesome in the initial tests !!

PPS: Linuxcoin prefinal has been removed to make way for the working final version I would suggest everybody upgrades to the final version because it's uber sexy and works lol

I don't know about the initial test results with 11.7, but from what I've heard, sticking with 11.6 sounds like a better idea.
Higher Mhash rates with 11.6 than 11.7 so far is what i've heard.

When is the new version of cgminer going to be updated in your repository? It looks like a big improvement with being able to bring dead workers back.

Hey guys,

I've just added a sapphire 5830 to my rig which also has a HIS HD 5770.... dmesg shows the new 5800 series card but none of the ati utils seem to show it.... AMDOverdriveCtrl -i0 only shows the 5770..... any thoughts? I could swear i read something about this in this thread but cant think where.....

cheers

reset your configuration.

Code:

rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all

and reboot

I'll do that in about 30 mins

Totally the opposite I'm getting slightly higher MH/s ? AMD APP SDK v2.5 should be out in a few days too so will be interesting
