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

[Jessi]

I followed now this two tutorials, which where working for me:
http://www.linuxcoin.co.uk/wiki/index.php/SSH_X11forwarding
http://www.linuxcoin.co.uk/wiki/index.php/SettingupVNCremotely

But my initial question was another:
I do not want to start always over putty a remote session and I do not want to start remotely vnc.
My Question was, how to make vnc autostarting?
Is there no way to make it starting always after restart with the same settings like in the second tutorial?

[Jessi]

Has anyone the same problems adding icons to the desktop with right mouse click on startmenu item and then on "add to desktop"?

It seem that I do not have any write permissions to the desktop?! I tried to write a text-file directly there, too, but it does not work either. I tried to set more write permissions, but that is not working, too.

Well I am extremely disapointed. The bitcoin client password tool does not work at all.

It does not matter what I pick, secured or unsecured I get the same wallet

In secured it does not matter what I type in or don't type as a password I see the same wallet

EDIT: yes it seems as if the latest bitcoin client deletes symlinks ? strange !! I'll ask about this now. but have you also noticed the client has the option aswell

add @vino-preferences to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

Yhe Desktop permissions error is a weird one I didn't anticipate that. I'll add a fix but if you want to quickly fix yours

Code:

sudo chmod 777 /home/user/Desktop

Thank you very much, both are now working for me.

drgr33n, does your youtube video HDD install tutorial work on the final?

[drgr33n]

drgr33n, does your youtube video HDD install tutorial work on the final?

Alrighty, I had problems with the tut and prefinal, read up after words, to find out, to wait for final, just double checking before I go through the long haul.

And that is definitely awesome about the installer!

Ok downloaded the new final and switched over 2 of my miners from the old betas of linuxcoin.
(did a full format of usb and full reinstall of new linuxcoin)
First few things I noticed ...

I still cannot save to the desktop even after doing
apt-get update
apt-get install linuxcoin-bugfix-020811 smartcoin bitcoin

then did a full reboot

I thought that was one of the bugfixes that was fixed...

specifically what i did was save my miner info to a file and gmail it to myself ... opened gmail and downloaded the file and could not save it to the desktop.

Noticed hashkill is still just a tar file under miners.  If i want to try it i need to uncompress it, but when i tried to using any programs listed (in file manager) it would not do anything.  Probably a rights issue ...

Other then that currently working ok ... when i rebooted the first time i got a error that flashed quickly by saying do a restart -t or something similar ...
went by very fast then rebooted
 have not rebooted again on that machine and it is happily mining so i dont want to mess with it but thought i should mention it.

thanks for all your hard work on this release ..

Just tried the final version i got this error when i used Phoenix manually (either default kernel or phatk)

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./phoenix.py", line 123, in <module>
    miner.start(options)
  File "/opt/miners/phoenix/Miner.py", line 77, in start
    self.kernel = self.options.makeKernel(KernelInterface(self))
  File "./phoenix.py", line 112, in makeKernel
    self.kernel = kernelModule.MiningKernel(requester)
  File "kernels/poclbm/__init__.py", line 132, in __init__
    platforms = cl.get_platforms()
pyopencl.LogicError: clGetPlatformIDs failed: platform not found khr

What does it mean?

Thnks


ps. This is my phoenix command which worked fine with the previous version of Linuxcoin:

Code:

./phoenix.py -u http://yanz_1:pass@uswest.btcguild.com:8332/ -q 7 -k phatk BFI_INT VECTORS FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=11 DEVICE=0 WORKSIZE=256

Well hell I don't know anything but i would ask did you remember to goto system tools --> then sdk license ...and accept it?

it looks like a error you might get if you had not accepted the SDK license

There are fixes for the permissions error for the Desktop folder. Sorry it slipped my radar Just open up a terminal and type

Code:

sudo chmod 777 /home/user/Desktop

Hashkill has been precompiled and installed on the system. Just open up a terminal and type

Code:

hashkill

I left the source files there for anyone that wanted to recompile with custom CFLAGS etc.

It means you have not accepted the license or your running from the user account. if you look in system there's an icon called accept license. Click it and try again

thanks a bunch, i really missed that.

Also do we need dummy plugs for our current linux drivers?

I remember from reading on http://blog.zorinaq.com, that we dont need dummy plugs now for linux.

However, i got a trouble booting linuxcoin with 4 x 5850s. After the boot screen, it just hang at the blank screen. It has a "_" on the top right corner. Upon tinkering with it, i found that it had something to do with X server.

While pulling my hairs out, i figured why not plugging my monitors to the cards. One monitor has VGA and DVI plug so i used all 3 monitors and it booted to desktop. Also, it switched to a different monitor for the desktop screen, not the original monitor when the computer booted from bios.

Does it mean i need dummy plugs ?

Or can someone explain/help me what i'm missing?

Thank you very much

I just accepted the lincense, But now i got this error (both with default kernel and phatk)

Code:

[02/08/2011 17:22:17] FATAL kernel error: Failed to load OpenCL kernel!

[Jessi]

Maybe it is a silly question, but maybe it is also easy answered... ;-)
I tried to get smartcoin working for me, but any of the lists where I should add/edit/delete something does not contain any predefined server or something else.
Also it seems that if I try to add something and call the list again to edit my entry it does not appear also.

What is going wrong here?

Type sudo in before you run your phoenix line, only have to do it once, unless you change the kernel.

i downloaded LinuxCoin 0.2b-final and cant figure out how to start smartcoin with this version .   does anybody know the commands to start smartcoin ?

Yea, I'll wait for the installer as I am receiving

Code:

root@linuxcoin: cp --preserve -R {bin,boot,etc,home,initrd,img,lib,lib32,lib64,opt,root,run,sbin,selinux,srv,usr,var,vmlinuz} /home/user/linuxcoin

cp:cannot copy a directory, 'home', into itself, '/home/user/linuxcoin/home'
cp:cannot stat 'initrd': No such file or directory
cp:cannot stat 'img' : No such file or directory

Thats strange that in the previous version, i didnt have to su root

cp:cannot copy a directory, 'home', into itself, '/home/user/linuxcoin/home'
cp:cannot stat 'initrd': No such file or directory
cp:cannot stat 'img' : No such file or directory

Its because you've put a comma instead of a dot

cp --preserve -R {bin,boot,etc,home,initrd,img,lib,lib32,lib64,opt,root,run,sbin,selinux,srv,usr,var,vmlinuz} /home/user/linuxcoin

should be

cp --preserve -R {bin,boot,etc,home,initrd.img,lib,lib32,lib64,opt,root,run,sbin,selinux,srv,usr,var,vmlinuz} /home/user/linuxcoin

You have to install it first.

Code:

cd /opt/smartcoin
./smartcoin_install.sh
smartcoin

It's because of the heightened security
