System stabilized, using vectors, 395MH / 89.00 ºC on both cores, now I want to do overclock but: I run: sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all but: root@garimpeiro-2:~# aticonfig --od-enable ATI Overdrive(TM) enabled
root@garimpeiro-2:~# aticonfig --od-setclocks=900,1000 --adapter=all ERROR - Set clocks failed for Adapter 0 - AMD Radeon HD 6990 Please check that input values were valid ERROR - Set clocks failed for Adapter 1 - AMD Radeon HD 6990 Please check that input values were valid
What can I do?! Is there some setup that I can manually include within xorg.conf? Thanks! Thiago

Thiago run aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all you know what is the range of values u can input and from there there is the art of OC where I don't have any luck because keep freezen on me! but with some cards and some right set works awesome good luck

Do you think Ubuntu 11.04 can destroy a flash drive because of too many reads/writes?
I was using 8GB Kingston DTIG3/8GB USB DataTraveller for like 2 weeks and then I needed to re-install Ubuntu, which led to more than 5 failed attempts with a different problem each time: If it managed to install successfully I got Grub problems after a restart. or overlapping patitions or I had 2 Installer crashes almost at the end of the installation and my last attempt to install was successful, but then the usual Grub problem and File system checking and fixing after restart
I'm just installing it again, but this time on an USB drive with a mini HDD inside, but I somehow feel that this one will fail too - how can I find what is the problem? Yep, it failed again with Installer crashed.
Now I'll leave just one video card connected to the system, will reinsert the RAM module, will load Safe Defaults in the BIOS and try again. I can't think of anything else.
Please help.

I suppose it's possible, but I've been running for at least a month with a Patriot RAGE XT 8 GB USB stick in a couple systems with no problems.

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it. There was never anything there in the first place.

Do you have a Swap partition? And is it Ubuntu you are using?

Yes to your first question and are you serious to your second question?

after the initial reboot, I login from SSH and get this: user@beast:~$ cd poclbm/ user@beast:~/poclbm$ ./poclbm.py No protocol specified No device specified or device not found, use -d to specify one of the following
[0] AMD Sempron(tm) 140 Processor
But if I login to unity desktop, then my cards get initialized. Now I run the same command from SSH again... user@beast:~/poclbm$ ./poclbm.py No device specified or device not found, use -d to specify one of the following
[0] AMD Sempron(tm) 140 Processor [1] Cypress [2] Cypress [3] Cypress [4] Cypress [5] Cypress [6] Cypress
Any way to get this to work without having to login to unity desktop? EDIT: noticed this. user@beast:~$ aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all No protocol specified aticonfig: This program must be run as root when no X server is active
running sudo ./poclbm.py yields the expected output. Is this the desired mode of operation? Or is there a better way?

Flappy: For your first question - you have to have X running to initialize the drivers unfortunately. Unity specifically doesn't have to be running, but some form of X does, even if it's a basic X session.
For your second question, I've not yet been able to figure out exactly why some installs require root and some don't. For all my installs, I do not need to be su root to get the odgc data... other people have different experiences, but I know that following my guide to the letter, I don't have to do it on any of my hardware, which varies quite a bit in types of cards, motherboards and CPUs (both intel and AMD).

Haha, forgive me, I'm trying to get a solution from a couple of places and did not think about what this topic was

Do what? Run X? Yeah. You can run it locally or forward your X session... I'm not sure what would happen if you were running a purely forwarded X Session, though I don't see any reason it wouldn't work unless it doesn't activate the fglrx module. Hmm...

I've only been using the X11 forwarding option in putty for months and haven't had an issue yet.

So the reason behind all my troubles was the flash drive got corrupted and I can only speculate that Ubuntu did it. So don't get surprised if your flash drive dies.
I think the author should put that as a warning in the original post.

I'm gpu-mining ok with these advices in Debian testing.
But I have a problem: when I switch to other tty (CTRL-ALT-Fn), mining stops. The process still stands but miner lost connection with gpu.
In this forum I read about starting the miner even with ssh-terminal! But I don't see how... every recipe fails (i.e putting "DISPLAY :0" at the beginning).
Any clues? TIA

There's always a chance of anything corrupting your flash drive if you use shitty flash drives. Same goes for hard drives. Use quality materials and you're less likely to run into problems. I've been running OS's from flash drives for a couple years now and I have yet to have a single corrupted flash drive. I'm gpu-mining ok with these advices in Debian testing.

Read through this thread, all the clues are in here. I mean, the clue(s) are even in the guide itself. Come on, man.

I just ordered a Kingston 8GB flash drive so I could make a secure wallet. Is Kingston quality enough?

Does Kingston 8GB Datatraveler G3 sounds shitty to you? Also do you use ext2 or ext4 with yours that are running fine for a couple of years? Because ext2 doesn't use journalling, thus much better suited for flash drives. While ext4, which is the default Ubuntu 11.04 file system is much more damaging to the drive.

Read through this thread, all the clues are in here. I mean, the clue(s) are even in the guide itself. Come on, man. I've tried everything: there's no way to activate gpu's from terminals out of the current X-display. Order, gives only CPU as mining device when launched in, say, tty0. No matter if I launch a "screen" instance, or if I insist about "DISPLAY=:0" at the beginning. I suspect, a fundamental difference between Debian and Ubuntu is the key. But I have no expertize on this.
