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

[drgr33n]

You guy's ready for 1.0-alpha ? Auto secure memory wiping even if you don't shut down and just pull out the media ? irqbalancing ? TCP/IP load balancing for clusters ? Using LinuxCoin as an VPS to store coins ? Stand by for more info lol

Just FYI, the UNetBootin download in the first post doesn't work at the moment - server gives a 404.

Sorry I'll refresh the link.

I should be rolling out the HDD installer with a nice QT interface over the weekend

How far did you come?

Hi,

very nice one! I am using it some days now and its great. Actually i only use it as a safe wallet, but maybe i will give it a try on my mining rig when i have the time.

I would have some questions.

I was able to change the clock for my timezone. But how can i change the keyboard to german layout? And i also tried to use tor, but when i but it on in browser it says that proxy test was not succesful and i cannot browse any site... what am i making wrong?

thanks and regards
happy LinuxCoin User

You might have to restart the services

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/tor restart

Hi,

tried it, but doesnt work... i get following error

root@linuxcoin:/home/user# sudo /etc/init.d/tor restart
ABORTED: Tor configuration invalid:
Aug 08 20:39:12.616 [notice] Tor v0.2.1.30. This is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity. (Running on Linux x86_64)

Aug 08 20:39:12.619 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.
root@linuxcoin:/home/user#

So whats wrong

Sorry for missing signs, but its hard to find on en keyboard....
changing to german keyboard would help a lot.

Installer is now live !! Still very experimental so expect bugs

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install linuxcoin-installer

Looks like a corrupt install ? can you try

Code:

dpkg-reconfigure tor

Patched version of UNetbootin for windows that has linuxcoin included in the drop down menu and will create a persistent USB install.

Downloaded this right after it was posted. Seemed to build a good v0.2-Final persistent flash drive and it booted into Linuxcoin just fine. However, persistence did not work.

I went back to the standard UNetbootin f/Windows and this is working great for me.

Sometime this week I'm going to be releasing linuxcoin-1.0. There have been some pretty major changes to the kernel etc so I'm afraid its another ISO. More changes to come but here are some of the initial changes made.

VPN support via network manager
OpenVPN startup sctipt for running a local VPS
gzip filesystem compression dropped for xz ISO is now under 700MB !!
AMD SDK 2.5
32 bit support !!

This is very strange persistence was working when I tested ? I will take it offline and see what I can do bud

Installer is now live !! Still very experimental so expect bugs

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install linuxcoin-installer

The installer does ... nothing!?! It asks for the HDD to install linuxcoin to, I select HDD then sda (an unallocated Partition) and OK, then it asks me if I would like the program format this partition and I click Yes. Then the window closes. End, and nothing happened.

It's because you didn't choose a partition you chose your whole HDD lol you need to setup your partitions with gparted. The select a partition ie: sda1

Thanks.
OK, now I get on reboot:

Code:

GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!

error: file not found.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue> _

Any idea?

bah sounds like it's not working for everyone. I'll take a look now. If you like and you have time can you mount your partition and check the grub cfg.

Code:

mkdir mount
mount /dev/sda1 mount
chroot mount
cd /boot/grub
ls | grep cfg

[deti]

If you like and you have time can you mount your partition and check the grub cfg.

Code:

...
root@linuxcoin:/# cd /boot/grub
bash: cd: /boot/grub: No such file or directory
root@linuxcoin:/# ls boot/
config-2.6.39-3-amd64 System.map-2.6.39-3-amd64 initrd.img-2.6.39-3-amd64 vmlinuz-2.6.39-3-amd64

!?!

Can your program output a debug file?

What Catalyst version will this release have? 11.6 or even 11.7?

11.7 & sdk 2.5 Its a shame about the cpu bug because I'm getting 325MH/s of my 5830 and 455MH/s of my 5870 with phoenix Lets hope they fix this real soon !!

Grub has not been installed ? Just checking but you did install with an internet connection right ? If not grub will fail to install because it cannot be downloaded.

[deti]

Grub has not been installed ?

Looks like the same problem as before using your video guide.

Just checking but you did install with an internet connection right ?

Right, the PC is connected to the internet, I used the final iso plus apt-get updates and installs.

PS: I will go to bed now. In five hours I have to get up for work ...

Guy im trying to change my Internet setting but its asking me to authenticate. I cant find a password anywhere.

It's in the first post

user=user

pw=live

I think, best for you to go check.

I tried using live as the password and it doesnt work. I also tried logging out and back in as user with password live but it doesnt work. So please take your sarcasm elsewhere.

You must of saved a keyring password ? To reset

Code:

sudo killall gnome-keyring-daemon 
sudo rm -r ~/.gnome2/keyrings

And reboot.

Just a head's up guys here's a little mock up of what I'm trying to get working with an easy setup. Most of you guys are running mining rigs at home ? Why not put them to good use The openvpn server will be run from a chrooted jail or sandbox ? and then communicate with bitcoin via the daemon. Thoughts ?

Comon guys if you want to argue amongst yourselves then do it through PM. I have enough crap to sift though on this post without you adding more.

So do you know why even though i can login with the password user/live it wont let me change basic settings like internet or looking at the file system.
