Installer is now live !! Still very experimental so expect bugs Cheesy

Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install linuxcoin-installer

The installer does ... nothing!?! It asks for the HDD to install linuxcoin to, I select HDD then sda (an unallocated Partition) and OK, then it asks me if I would like the program format this partition and I click Yes. Then the window closes. End, and nothing happened.

It's because you didn't choose a partition you chose your whole HDD lol you need to setup your partitions with gparted. The select a partition ie: sda1

Sometime this week I'm going to be releasing linuxcoin-1.0. There have been some pretty major changes to the kernel etc so I'm afraid its another ISO. More changes to come but here are some of the initial changes made.

VPN support via network manager
OpenVPN startup sctipt for running a local VPS
gzip filesystem compression dropped for xz ISO is now under 700MB !!
AMD SDK 2.5
32 bit support !!

Patched version of UNetbootin for windows that has linuxcoin included in the drop down menu and will create a persistent USB install.

Downloaded this right after it was posted. Seemed to build a good v0.2-Final persistent flash drive and it booted into Linuxcoin just fine. However, persistence did not work.

I went back to the standard UNetbootin f/Windows and this is working great for me.

This is very strange persistence was working when I tested ? I will take it offline and see what I can do bud Wink

Hi,

very nice one! I am using it some days now and its great. Actually i only use it as a safe wallet, but maybe i will give it a try on my mining rig when i have the time.

I would have some questions.

I was able to change the clock for my timezone. But how can i change the keyboard to german layout? And i also tried to use tor, but when i but it on in browser it says that proxy test was not succesful and i cannot browse any site... what am i making wrong?

thanks and regards

You might have to restart the services

Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/tor restart



Hi,

tried it, but doesnt work... i get following error

root@linuxcoin:/home/user# sudo /etc/init.d/tor restart
ABORTED: Tor configuration invalid:
Aug 08 20:39:12.616 [notice] Tor v0.2.1.30. This is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity. (Running on Linux x86_64)

Aug 08 20:39:12.619 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.
root@linuxcoin:/home/user#

Sorry for missing signs, but its hard to find on en keyboard....
changing to german keyboard would help a lot.


Looks like a corrupt install ? can you try

Code:
dpkg-reconfigure tor

You guy's ready for 1.0-alpha ? Cheesy Auto secure memory wiping even if you don't shut down and just pull out the media ? irqbalancing ? TCP/IP load balancing for clusters ? Using LinuxCoin as an VPS to store coins ? Stand by for more info lol

Just FYI, the UNetBootin download in the first post doesn't work at the moment - server gives a 404.

Sorry I'll refresh the link.

After drgreen pointed out to me for my problem I was missing a period. After solving that problem, the next step I could not mount anything [could not be mounted, location does not exist error, as I checked, the location did exist ]. I gave up trying to install it to hdd and will wait for the installer.

Sounds really exciting as described how tight the security is, I cannot wait, in excitement to use  Smiley.

For the guys struggling with my HDD install video. Its due to the hightened security PaX will not let grub probe anything lol. heres a fix.

Code:
for i in $(ls /usr/sbin | grep grub); do
  paxctl -C /usr/sbin/$i
  paxctl -cE /usr/sbin/$i
done
grub-install /dev/sdX
update-grub

I should be rolling out the HDD installer with a nice QT interface over the weekend Wink

I will wait for the HD installer then, i tried the above code. It still does not work. It wasn able to install Grub (something about Blocklist of the HD and hence Grub does not install)

I put the loop code in a script, then ran it. Then i manual called grub-install and update grub.

Just a thought would you guys like to see CUDA support in 1.0-alpha ?

@drgr33n,

Using the new UNetbootin to install 0.2-Final with 2000MB persistence on 4GB flash drive. On my Gaming/Miner with 2x 5830 CrossFired, which has been working fine under the old UNetbootin build, I get his red star error after the Linuxcoin splash screen and halts with CLI:

Code:
Startpar: service(s) returned failure: isc-dhcp-server
Last login: Sun Aug 7 18:13:19 UTC 2011 on tty3
Linux linuxcoin 2.6.39-3-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 25 11:22:19 UTC 2011 x86_64

I assume linuxcoin is not able to get an IP address through DHCP. This machine boots into Win7-64 just fine and obtains an IP address.

You sis format your USB drive before starting right ? It looks like you might have some persistent space loaded from your last install if it's prompting Last login: Sun Aug 7 18:13:19 UTC 2011 on tty3 ? Just a thought. If not send me your dmesg output.
@drgr33n,

Yep, did a format (FAT32) of the 4GB flash drive prior to using the new UNetbootin. Pardon this dumb linux-noob question, but do I type "dmesg" at the CLI when it halts?

Yes if you type

Code:
dmesg > dmesg.log

and you can upload the file somewhere if you like.

Now If I would put my miners on this how would I overclock?
I assume linux has no msi after burner like porgram,

Personly im not a big fan of linux but something like this is quite smart, and a good use for linux.....


Also could I just install this to the hard drive of the miners, as I have goten hard drives for my miners, even if they are 15-40 gigs,

Now that said, Is it worth my time to migrate my miners from windows xp and windows 7 just to mine with linux? Would I get better Mhash? like 10-15 is great

Does the miner in linux have a gui like guiminer?

I hate comand line,


I"m sorry if that has been aswered before but I just can not sit thouhg and surf for stuff
