The page should have <code> surrounding the new text for the syslinux.cfg ! I copy/pasted it as it is and now I have to fill the USB key again because with the contents of syslinux.cfg as shown, it gives Initial menu has no LABEL entries!  

I would have changed it myself if I could  

Edit: Actually I could edit the file, it is in the root of the USB key :-)

I got it working on a laptop with a new driver update.

What is the absolute CURRENT latest version now? I'm a little confused with the version naming - and does the
final version include tor portable browser on the bootable usb?

[deti]

LinuxCoin 1.0 is just about complete. It has a shinny new kernel and features that will blow your mind Like ;

A very sexy new bootsplash
Compressed persistent space
PnP cluster mining with persistent booting
Turbo boot (Now boots into your OS in around 3 to 5 seconds)
Sandboxed HTTPD server for extra security while running munin.
32bit version

I have really put some work into this version and I'm not going to rush this and get it wrong So expect nothing soon

How far did you come drgr33n? Will it ever be released?

You have quite a bit running ? I can see iceweasel, several instances of AMDOverdriveCtl, a java application and phoenix. I would suggest you first reboot your PC and start applications one by one. Once you see the usage go up then let me know whats pushing it up that high and I will help more.

Iceweasel was to post the screenshot.
AMDOverdriveCtl is open to control the fans
a java application is for the hopper
pheonix is for the...phoenix.

is it possible to use fanctrl in AMDOverdriveCtl any other way? Without keeping it open? My system has 7 gpu.

If your just using AMDOverdriveCtl just for your fans I would just use the standard AMD tools. Didn't I help you out on a bash script the other day ? If you want a small bash script to start your fans and overclock your cards use this little script to set your fans and overclock your cards. It's been setup for four cards if you have more or less add / remove from the loop.

3 cards would be

Code:

for i in 0 1 2; do

6 cards would be

Code:

for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5; do

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#globals

FANSPEED=80 #fanspeed as percentage
CCLOCK=990 # Core clock speed
MCLOCK=300 # Memory clock speed

#Meat & Potatoes
aticonfig --od-enable
for i in 0 1 2 3; do
  DISPLAY=:0.$i sudo aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 $FANSPEED"
  sudo aticonfig --odsc="$CCLOCK,$MCLOCK" --adapter=$i
done

is there some sort of command to see whast your clocks are set at?

[kjj]

Code:

aticonfig --odgc --adapter=$i

LinuxCoin says it has cgminer.... my opt/miners folder doesn't have cgminer? 

I am an experience windows developer but a complete Linux noob.

Shouldn't cgminer be in the /opt/miners folder?

I think the included version is out of date and the pre-compiled ubuntu version will work.  Try this:

Code:

cd /op/miners/
sudo wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-2.0.5-x86_64-built.tar.bz2
sudo tar xfvs cgminer-2.0.5-x86_64-built.tar.bz2
cd cgminer-2.0.5/
./cgminer <options>

[DeathAndTaxes]

Thanks gnarltas

So I got cgminer worker and got 1 GPU running.

I shutdown, installed other two GPU, and power on.

Everything has been "lost".  It seems persistance isn't working.  Recheck instructions for persistance (I have the 2048 file in root of usb drive).  Still that isn't that big of a deal.

I re-agree to the sdk.  reinstall cgminer.  start it up.
cgminer only sees my CPU (no GPUs).

1x 5970 installed - cgminer works fine
3x 5970 installed - cgminer only sees GPU



Man and this is suppose to be the "easy route"?

[DeathAndTaxes]

Ok so figured out how to "initialize" drivers using  aticonfig:

Code:

user@linuxcoin:/opt/miners/cgminer-2.0.5$ sudo aticonfig --initialFound fglrx primary device section
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saving back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-1
user@linuxcoin:/opt/miners/cgminer-2.0.5$ aticonfig --list-adapters* 0. 13:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
  1. 12:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
  2. 0b:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
  3. 0a:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
  4. 07:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
  5. 06:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series

* - Default adapter

So at hardware level my cards are seen.

I try to use Catalyst Control Center - no AMD video card card installed.
Try to use cgminer - only CPU is seen

Also looks like linux coin website hacked?

The main wiki page has this:

Not sure why but the instructions on changing boot menu seem incorrect:

per wiki:

Code:

default menu.c32 prompt 0 menu title Welcome to LinuxCoin timeout 100

label linuxcoin menu label LinuxCoin Persistent (Changes are Saved) kernel /live/vmlinuz append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live config quiet splash persistent rw vga=791

label ubnentry0 menu label LinuxCoin Transient (Private Browsing, Nothing is Saved) kernel /live/vmlinuz append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live config quiet splash rw vga=791

When I change syslinux.cfg to the above and attempt to boot I get

Code:

SYSLINUX 4.03 ....
Initial menu has no LABEL entries!
boot: <cursor>

I am afraid that this isn't plug & play for non-Linux user.

[DeathAndTaxes]

Ok I got everything working.

Is 0.2 final the latest version?  If so then that is the weirdest version convention I have ever seen.

0.2
0.2.1a
0.2.1b
then 0.2 final is latest?

Anyways got it working.  Great little distro once working but kinda painful (for Linux noob) to get setup.

[gnar1ta$]

Well that was a bit of work, glad it worked for you.  So to summarize for others having similar issues, if you add/remove cards its a good idea to rebuild your xorg.conf with:

Code:

sudo aticonfig -f --initial --adapter=all

Then reboot.

For the persistent boot leave the first section and the persistent boot section and delete the rest, then change the prompt to match in syslinux.cfg.

Anyone new to linux not using cgminer for clock/fan control give atitweak a try, saved me a lot of time and trouble, and works great in linuxcoin.

Any updates as to when 1.0 will be released?

[DeathAndTaxes]

Is source for image creation available anywhere?  Seems author is no longer developing this.

I would like to take this project add cgminer, bring it to current version of debian and some other improvements.    Would rather not reinvent the wheel.

Seems that it does not support 32 bit

[runeks]

I tried removing all fglrx-realted packages and re-installing them, but this time the DKMS module compilation part failed with some odd error in firegl.c that I couldn't find a solution to anywhere. Seems like upgrading via apt-get doesn't work currently, *and* that it breaks the system.

[rockofages152]

Sorry for bumping this after a month of no posts, but does anyone know if it's possible to install Bittorrent or uTorrent on this OS? I've tried, but either it's not possible or I don't know what I'm doing (probably the latter).

Any advice?
