try this:

Code:

apt-get install libdev-dev libusb-dev -y

then run it again, mine gives that error when I've switched from bfgminer to cgminer or vice versa so I have to reboot.

if that's no good we'll try a cgminer build

Didn't work. Those dependencies were already installed. Still getting the "All devices disabled, cannot mine!" error.

This is so frustrating! Yes, I did that and tried running bfgminer only to get the usual: All devices disabled, cannot mine!

did you unplug the usb and reset the modminer then reconnect it again?

That means its ready for the new firmware which is good.

What was the output from:

Code:

wget modminerquadstore.com/files/firmware/modminer092612-TLM.bin

And then:

Code:

mcopy -i /dev/disk/by-id/usb-NXP_LPC134X_IFLASH_ISP000000000-0:0 modminer092612-TLM.bin ::/firmware.bin

It's showing up after the RESET as "CRP DISABLD" ...

How did you get on?

Still no luck. Sad

It just immediately gives me an error and doesn't seem to detect the MMQ no matter what. Sad

K, you're firmware is borked.

Code:

sudo apt-get install mtools -y

wget modminerquadstore.com/files/firmware/modminer092612-TLM.bin

From modminer instructions:

Orient the board so these are facing you

You will need two pieces of copper wire or something similar.
Take one piece of copper wire and connect the first two contact points next to RESET and HOLD IT THERE the LED on the backplane should dim
While holding that piece take the other piece of copper wire and connect the first two contact points next to ISP and HOLD IT THERE the LED on the backplane should still be dim, if it gets bright - try it again
Release first the left wire RESET and then the right wire - ISP if you did this correctly the light will still be dim
Unplug USB and plug it back in, the board will now show up as a mass storage device (note it may take a minute to show up!)

Use mtools to replace the firmware now:

Code:

mcopy -i /dev/disk/by-id/usb-NXP_LPC134X_IFLASH_ISP000000000-0:0 modminer092612-TLM.bin ::/firmware.bin

Ensure the data is flushed to the USB: sync
Unplug USB, hit the Reset button, and plug USB back in

Try running bfgminer again

I didn't check if you use nano, apologies for that. Just in case you don't its CTRL-X to quit then press enter to save.

Thank you! I will try that here right now and let you know if I make any further progress!

Try this JonSnow:

Do a clean install of Ubuntu

make a file called install-bfgminer.sh in /usr/local/bin like so:

Code:

nano /usr/local/bin/install-bfgminer.sh

Then copy and paste this into it:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# update & upgrade #
sudo apt-get update;
sudo apt-get upgrade -y;

################user mod change YourUsername to the user you'll run the miner with
usermod -G dialout -a YourUsername;

# Install dependencies
apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-gnutls-dev libncurses5-dev -y;
apt-get install automake autoconf libtool wget -y;

# get jansson
cd ~;
wget http://www.digip.org/jansson/releases/jansson-2.4.tar.gz;
tar zxvf jansson-2.4.tar.gz;
cd jansson-2.4;
./configure;
make;
make install;
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libjansson* /usr/lib/;
ldconfig;

# get bfgminer
cd ~;
wget http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/3.0.2/bfgminer-3.0.2.tbz2;
tar xjvpf bfgminer-3.0.2.tbz2;
cd bfgminer-3.0.2;
./configure --enable-modminer;
make;
make install;

Where it says "YourUsername" near the top change that to your username and then run:

Code:

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/install-bfgminer.sh

And finally:

Code:

install-bfgminer.sh

That should get you up and running on Ubuntu, haven't tried it on any other systems.

You just need to run bfgminer then with the usual pool and other settings.

I've been waiting for him to SSH into my computer to see if he can figure out what's wrong. He emails me to ask for the SSH info and then disappears for days with no response. Then he tells me to text message him, so I do, but, again, no response.

I don't have a raspberry pi - just using Ubuntu 12.04. Thank you though for the offer!
