uray,
Thanks for recent update, autostart feature works great.
I got two questions:
1. How may i run vertminer (GPU) when connected via SSH ? Direct run just don't detects any GPU.
2. I saw that vertminer link points to /opt/miners/vertminer/start-session.sh, but it works only if run it inside X session not ssh, why so ?

Also it is good to add some gpumon/viewgpu stat as BAMT has, so it will be easy to parse miners state via terminal.

Hi,

I tried to run Cryptoslax on my own today but have some trouble with segementation faults.

First, until now I run BAMT which is 32Bit and therefore only 2GB of my 8GB were available.

With Cryptoslax I hoped to be able to increase thread concurrency  from 24550 to 32765 which should be best for R9 290.

However, even with TC=24550 I get errors from cgminer-opencl and also with the self-compiled sgminer 4.0.0:
Code:
[11:55:13] Failed to init GPU thread 0, disabling device 0                   
[11:55:13] Restarting the GPU from the menu will not fix this.                   
[11:55:13] Try restarting sgminer.                   
[11:55:13] Maximum buffer memory device 1 supports says 1073741824                   
[11:55:13] Your scrypt settings come to 1608908800                   
[11:55:13] Error -61: clCreateBuffer (padbuffer8), decrease TC or increase LG

This is my config:
Code:
"intensity" : "21,21,21",
"worksize" : "256,256,256",
"thread-concurrency" : "24550,24550,24550",
"gpu-engine" : "1075,1075,1020",
"gpu-memclock" : "1470,1375,1465",
"gpu-powertune" : "20,20,20",
"gpu-threads" : "1,1,1",
"lookup-gap" : "2,2,2",

Any ideas?

TC is "GPU thread concurrency" i doubt it has anything to do with your system memory, TC mostly are number of GPU execution thread to be spawn to run on your GPU and use your GPU memory

Cryptoslax64 0.3.1-beta1 is available to download from http://www.cryptoslax.web.id

new :
 * sgminer (untested)
 * heavycoin cpu miner (for 1gh.com : tested)
 * cgminermonitor.com client
    as .sb module, simply download, place it into [FLASHDRIVE:]/slax/modules
    or on running slax, download with wget, and execute "slax activate /path/to/file.sb"
 * fix some gnu screen issues
 * better autostart system, simply chmod +x autostart-session.sh inside miner directory, to make it autorun after boot
 * added apache+php+mysql for local web serving, for futher development of rig monitoring and control
 * added google chrome browser

this is beta version, you know what it means, even on non-beta version i can't guarantee everything will work

Why if start vertminer GPU from terminal getting error that GPU not available ? But if i start from Slax menu it working and mining ?
I tried also run /opt/miners/vertminer/start-sessions.sh and /opt/miners/vertminer/start.sh -  same error.
How actually may I run vertminer in terminal and detach screen as in BAMT ?

Dude, go back to BAMT. Open Utilities => GParted  and create new partition with leftover space and enjoy Smiley

My Mouse/KB are not found and i don't have IOMMU option in BIOS? MB is Gigabyte B75-D3V.
Also network drivers are not found... I think i need to install ALX network drivers?
Can someone please help me?

Please help?
You need to add the mentioned option into the boot command line of the bootloader.
Maybe this will help you:
http://old.slax.org/forum.php?action=view&parentID=85537

Sorry...
I'm newbie for Linux. Sad
Why no one can just say go edit that file and add line: "iommu=soft" on that place?
That will help allot! Smiley

My ethernet connection doesn't work after booting cyrptoslax,

lspci  gives

07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Device 10a1 (rev 10)



Anyone have any ideas?  BTW thanks for the distro uray.

I had the same thing happen. You will need to download the development version off the cryptoslax website and compile the Ethernet drivers yourself.
Dev, please add native support for AR8161 Ethernet drivers (I had to compile from source from this https://www.dropbox.com/s/q9nthtvx3gk5gnt/compat-drivers-2013-03-04-u.tar.bz2).

Dev, please also add veox sgminer (http://github.com/veox/sgminer) and Zuikkis sgminer (http://github.com/Zuikkis/sgminer). The latter is sgminer with nfactor support.

Also, +1 to embedded phpminer and cgmon.

As a noob to slax, how the hell do I get the wicd module to work? I tried dropping the module into usb/slax/modules and it doesn't work...?

Thanks Strider i'll try that.

Finally a 64Bit distro!  Grin
Will give it a shot once I find some spare time.

Is there any monitoring with auto-mining-restart or autoreboot implemented like cgmon?

Hey! NICE WORK!!
For anyone having issues with iommu or keyboard/devices not recognized I had to add:
iommu=soft
in the boot option list.

I need to use a static ip for every rig but I see you did some care-free-script to take care of everything in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet that prevent the rc.inet1.conf from loading.
What can I do?
How do you boot automatically the miner? Using the .kde/Autostart folder files?

Adapter 0: AMD Radeon R9 290 Series
[192.168.1.7~]

I installed two graphics cards,why od6config only detect one graphics card? Huh

I think od6 is only for 290 , for all other "aticonfig --list-adapters"
