Well I have spent the last day trying to get an old PC running with Xubuntu and the X13 mod and figured I would share how I got it going as it is most likely to work on all machines. Now bare in mind that X11 and X13 do not surrently work(properly) on anything lower than a 7xxx series card, which if you are already mining it then you already know, besides the point... Below is the list of commands and instructions on how to get X13 and sgminer up and running in what I would imagine any Ubuntu distro.
Now all of this is assuming you are running a brand new install.sudo apt-get update
sudo reboot
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
-Download latest AMD Catalyst drivers here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux%20x86#amd-catalyst-packages
-Open a terminal
-For Ubuntu 64-bit:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs dh-make dkms execstack dh-modaliases linux-headers-generic fakeroot libqtgui4 lib32gcc1
-For Ubuntu 32-bit:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs dh-make dkms execstack dh-modaliases linux-headers-generic fakeroot libqtgui4
sudo apt-get install autoconf opencl-headers libcurl4-openssl-dev libtool libncurses5-dev
cd Downloads
unzip amd-catalyst-14-4-rev2-linux-x86-x86-64-may6.zip
cd fglrx-14.10.1006.1001
sudo sh *.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/raring
sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all
-This will set your GUI to use the new AMD Radeon graphic cards, it will work for
single and multi graphic cards but if you don’t use “–adapter=all”, your Ubuntu
may only use 1 or 2 graphic cards for mining even though you have 3 to 6.
(Do not use –adapter=all setting for Crossfire, also MAKE SURE YOUR NOT USING
CROSSFIRE in the first place!!! For Litecoin mining, you do not need crossfire,
you get much better performance without it. So, unplug the crossfire cable!!!)
sudo reboot
-Next download the lasybear x11 and x13 repo here: https://github.com/lasybear/sph-sgminer_x11mod (Download ZIP is in bottom left)
-Extract that to downloads and name the folder sgminer
-Next download the ADL files Here: http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/graphics-development/display-library-adl-sdk/
-Extarct to Downloads
-Copy files from inside of "include" folder and paste them inside the ADL_SDK folder inside sgminer
-Open a new terminal
cd Downloads
cd sgminer
sudo apt-get install libtool
libtoolize
autoreconf -ivf
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure
sudo make install
-To check that it is working: sgminer -n
-Now open a text editor and paste the following:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
./sgminer -k x13mod -o
: -u -p -I 15 -g 2 -w 128
-Adjust the stettings according to your GPU(s)
-Now save that file as "sgminer.sh" in your sgminer folder
Open a terminal and type the following:
cd Downloads
cd sgminer
sh sgminer.shAnd you are off to the races! Now I am completely new to Ubuntu/Linux so if someone more experienced can maybe give it a look over, i'd love to know it is actually correct.
Enjoy and I hope it helps some people, and if you wanna donate BOST - BERZ8Ehse6A4A4ior3VsaLiqrRgpzCmsbm
