Here's the guide I followed for installing on Ubuntu and Xubuntu. As already stated, it should work on Mint since Mint is based off of Ubuntu and it should be compatible.

Complete Guide To Mine Bitcoin on Xubuntu 12.04:

I used ATI drivers 11.11 and AMD SDK 2.7.

Unfortunately, the Mint version referenced is not based on Ubuntu 12.04, but on the latest Ubuntu.

I thought Mint was based off Ubuntu, so shouldn't all the same install procedures still work?

I'm trying to get cgminer working with AMD drivers on Linux Mint (Olivia) Mate 15. So far, no luck. The closest I've got is everything appears to work, but no shares are accepted. Card is a 5850. If you have been successful, which version of AMD driver did you use and which guide did you follow?

Thanks.

P.S. I'm normally a Ubuntu guy, but I'm trying to get into Mint now that they support encrypted root installs.
