You updated your bios ? Please people if I've said a hundred times if you have a problem can you post as much information about your system as possible. I will be rolling out a debug tool that will generate all the required information for me to debug soon.

Mikeo. Did you try regenerating the configuration file for your cards ?



I would suggest you update bud. The previous version were alpha so can be buggy and I'm not supporting them. But hash out these two lines in /etc/init.d/live-boot

They show fine in Device Manager, but Linuxcoin 0.2-Final doesn't see the second GPU and it doesn't make any difference if it is XFired or not. I'm exhausted, drunk, and giving up and going to bed.

Thank you for your answer. I have done the update and the version is now 607s but the error is still there. I will post to your other thread also, therefore no need to answer here. ;-) Thank you.

Right, final version do not have this problem, I have not updated since I installed it

Its caused from multiple entries being present in the database (this was from a bug, there should have only been one entry in the database). It is fixed in latest experimental releases, and I'd recommend that you update by:
1) Go to the control screen -> Edit Settings then change the development branch from 'stable' to 'experimental'
2) Use the Update function from the control screen - this should take give you a partial update to r607.  Restart smartcoin and run the  update again to go from r607 to the latest release.  There are many many new features and improvements (including a completely revamped settings engine, multi-machine support, poclbm support and a lot more).  Not only will you have the latest code, but your multiple database entries will be fixed in the process!


Feel free to post any smartcoin related questions in the smartcoin thread as I monitor it closely for support issues!

have everything up and running since some days and I am very happy with LinuxCoin. Really good work. Thank you for that!!

Anyway I still have some little questions.

One is regarding a little error which seem not to affect the mining process, but anyway I would like to know if this is normal behavior or if I can do anything to fix it.
During mining with smartcoin failover sometimes appearing this:

What does that mean?

I was going down the PaX route next, once again your response is AWESOME!

Maybe i missed this, but where are the PXE setup instructions for your implementation?

Cannot wait to see the installer, I will confirm the above shortly and report back.

Have a great day Dr.Gr33n AND THANK YOU!

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.


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

What version ? this has been removed from 0.2b-final

35.   Wait for the message that says you need to remove the USB flash-drive (DON'T DO THAT!), then just press "Enter"

This is a problem: Some times I need to remotely login and shutdown/reboot the machine, but this message will interupt the process since I'm not physically beside the machine and the ssh session has already closed

Is there a way to bypass this message?

I too can confirm the v0.2b-final hdd install directions not working.
I made several attempts, but grub is the issue and i believe its to do with /dev/pts.

After "mount -o bind /dev linuxcoin/dev/" look in /dev/pts and you will find nothing.
I attempted "mount devpts /dev/pts -t devpts" which populates /dev/pts with "ptmx" and "0" and "1".
Comparing /dev/pts contents from v0.2b i only see "ptmx" and "0".

might i be on to something? I am only guessing on these /dev/pts options, but when actually running dpkg on grub-pc i am only offered to install to /dev/sda1, rather than /dev/sda and /dev/sda1. despite this, choosing to install to /dev/sda1 fails similar to the following.

# update-grub

the above was transcribed, i sure would love to have the vmware tools installed on this, as I plan to run my master linuxcoin from within esx, doing pxe out on a seperate lan!

Where are the pxe directions?

i attempted doing several other items such as apt-get updating before the bugfix or after, none made much difference, its update-grub which is failing to detect my new hard drive i believe.

drgr33n: sent you a pm

I don't understand what you mean.
You can view the checksums of the files right before you download to verify (in-case over the course of a week/month/year they were to get corrupted some how).
After you download, you are more than welcome to re-verify.

[Edit]:
I think I understand what you mean.
Use the official MD5/SHA1 and check my MD5/SHA1's and see if they match before download?

[Edit2]:
Okay, I've fixed the page so it verifies.
http://mirrors.tgservers.com/linuxcoin.co.uk/linuxcoin-v0.2-final.iso.checksum.php
If drgr33n wouldn't mind pushing the MD5/SHA1 via JSON, I would be more than happy to do live verification from his site on mine.

Hmm, I used a slightly different approach to make a persistant install.

Instead of adding the 2GB file to the usb stick, I installed the iso and then just made a new ext4 partition with the rest of the space, and named it "live-rw".

Seems to be working okay, though I can't seem to get smartcoin to work. I downloaded it via apt-get install and installed it with "./smartcoin_install.sh" in the /opt/smartcoin/smartcoin/ directory. I still get "unknown command" when I type "smartcoin" in the terminal.

Any suggestions?

Hey guys !! thanks for all the links !! I'll be updating the site tomorrow with a better template / layout so I'll add them all once complete !!


That's strange ? If you can post the exact output I will be able to help you more. like I said there is an installer about 80% complete but unfortunately real life has bit me in the ass again lol.


I can take a look. Can you send me a link ?

Any chance you'd be adding a bithopper package to the repo?
I can't get it to work on LinuxCoin

Trying to install linuxcoin to hd, following the youtube guide. But when coming to the final step, installing grub it doesnt work. I get mount error, its something with /dev ... pst or something. Been trying lots of diffrent ways but still cant get it to work.

I wonder is there any other way to install to hd? using dd?

I've got my mirror setup with LIVE* checksums.
