Two things about linuxcoin-v0.2-prefinal.iso:

1. "Install LinuxCoin onto a HDD"-YouTube manual doesn't work any more. Grub can't be installed ... How can I do it now? I had to move back to linuxcoin-v0.2.1b.iso.

2. Why is /opt/miners/phoenix/phoenix.py not executable by default now? In the previous version it was!

1) Don't install this version to your HDD it's only out for a few more days then you can have the final version. What errors you getting with grub ?
2) Probably forgot to set the permissions on that file. I'll fix it up for the final version.

When I do

# apt-get install grub

I get the 1st OK but not the 2nd and not the 3rd page with the device select option. In the 4th (my 2nd) I can select Yes or No. If I do No the 2nd page appears but it leads me directly to the 4th when I do OK ...

Here the Terminal output of the entire HDD procedure

Code:

@ drgr33n

Can you add an easy and quick way (graphical/non terminal) into the "System Tools" Menu to change the monitor resolution and the keyboard settings for non US keyboards? Thanks!

Just updated to the 0.2-prefinal and unfortunately I'm getting some weird errors.

When I run atitweak it lists my card (5770) and I can overclock it just fine, but when I try to load phoenix (both with and without smartcoin) or if i try and do a "aticonfig --initial --adapter=all" I get "No supported adapters detected" and phoenix shows an error about OpenCL. But atitweak works fine...

I've accepted the SDK license, that doesn't help either Sad

This worked fine in 0.2b!
Any ideas? Sad

PS I've also noticed it takes a LONG time to start up now too.

Yes working on this now. Hold back on the testing guys. I'm tired now so going to hit the sack but most of this is fixed now and I've debianized most of the miners and the latest bitcoin client that now includes a wallet encryption feature in house Cheesy

Also you can have a choice of the grsecurity / standard kernel.

This added bonus with this way is all you guys with prefinal will need to do to is update the packages from my repository and be up to date. I'll get the repository finalized tomorrow.

Thankyou everyone that's tested !!

Sorry if this has been posted already but if I want to "roll my own" version of Linux coin with a few changes are there some instructions?

Not for linuxcoin but if you would like to make some modifications send them over to me and I'll take a look. If they are local changes then you can add them via persistence. Or you could extract the filesystem and make your changes then pack it all back up and remaster the ISO ? or even debanize your changes ?

Thank you. I remember there being guides for "roll your own" for Knoppix and Morphix so it would probably be similar.

I was thinking of making a live cd for a new currency e.g. with multicoin.

Another question I have does it make much difference to your hashrate if you run headless?

Yea it's the same bud check out debian-live for more info on how to compile a live debian system. If you was going to branch off and make your own changes and you want to use linuxcoin I would suggest you make your own repo and debianize the packages unless you want to change lots of core files ? then I would create your own debian live cd and add the extra's.

Oh right, I should have said that.

It was something along the lines of 'No Valid Adapters' even though I did --adapters=all.

So I guess it cannot see my video cards even though I can mine??

I get a segmentation fault when I run cgminer. Probably an issue with that miner though, and not linuxcoin.

Can you post what was happening at the time and the actual error ?

I just ran it from the command line, with nothing else running. It goes to the main screen and seg faults immediately.

When I run it -n (I think that is the option) it does see my GPU's though.

Also... aticonfig does not work on my system, even if the first thing I do is accept the licence. It worked perfectly with .2a.

POCLBM is mining on my PC no problem right now though (but if I don't run it with sudo it says I cannot access some .elf file).

aticonfig should work without you extracting the license ? I'm looking into cgminer as we speak, I'll look at poclbm after. Whats the error output of aticonfig ?

Thanks guys I've now fixed most of the bugs here. also setup a repository with upload support Wink

I will be transferring all of linuxcoin over to there eventually and maybe start work on a 32bit version after this is out.

EDIT:

cgminer fixed !! just add

Code:

deb http://www.linuxcoin.co.uk/apt sid main non-free contrib

and

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install cgminer

I've just checked poclbm using the user and the admin account and everything seems fine ?

@drg33n

On a positive note: with 0.2pre-final I'm getting faster hashrates on my 5830s & 5850s to the tune of 8 - 12 MH/s increase at same OC settings as version 0.2.1b!

Great news !! I was worried about this due to the supposed performance decrease when rolling with grsecurity. I've got to say apart from the initial booting stage I haven't found no difference what so ever. Also with readahead and preload linuxcoin should run a bit faster.

You will have to excuse me but I don't quite get you ? Does aticonfig work with one card and catalyst says there's no drivers or it works with the one card one but doesn't ? I have come across the odd troubles down to a bug with acpi routing. You could try appending the boot line and adding

Code:

pci=noacpi

It's solved a load of weird troubles my end Cheesy

That's odd: if I disable ACPI support in the BIOS I can't even boot, but you're saying to disable it at boot.

This doesn't disable ACPI this just disables the use of ACPI routing information during the PCI configuration stages. I think pci=nobios will work too.

Got full downloads this time. Slightly smaller than previous version. Boots up! New splash no where as nice as previous. Nice not have all the text on boot, but it takes a full 50 seconds to get to desktop.

Did not copy live-rw file yet, only booted to default.

Only managed to fiddle with "secure client" for about 1/2 hour...extremly confusing password issues...will test thoroughly soon, but at this point I think it needs more work to be ready for the average user.

Thanks for testing Smalleyster !! Can you elaborate more on what you found confusing ? I wouldn't test the secure bitcoin client yet. I've found the troubles with the script and have fixed them up. Its hard for a smoker like me to keep track of everything I do Cheesy

I'm a very scatty person and I'm fiddling with one thing then over to the next without looking at what I done previously Cheesy

I am full retard when it comes down to organizational skills lol

And you don't like the new boot screen Cheesy

!! lol Ok I'll make it look a lot more slick on the final version. I was thinking of a spinning bitcoin that fills up with color as the system loads ? I wanted to move from the old splashy to plymouth because it's alot more powerful !!

Two things about linuxcoin-v0.2-prefinal.iso:

1. "Install LinuxCoin onto a HDD"-YouTube manual doesn't work any more. Grub can't be installed ... How can I do it now? I had to move back to linuxcoin-v0.2.1b.iso.

2. Why is /opt/miners/phoenix/phoenix.py not executable by default now? In the previous version it was!

1) Don't install this version to your HDD it's only out for a few more days then you can have the final version. What errors you getting with grub ?
2) Probably forgot to set the permissions on that file. I'll fix it up for the final version.

Wondering if anyone has any ideas to help me with this, I got linuxcoin installed with two 6970s and works fine, it is mining away. I put together another rig with two 6950s, and x server won't load. I used a generic PCI-e card to boot up with x server and left one 6950 card in, and was able to boot up, and I can see the one 6950 with aticonfig, catalyst won't come up says drivers not installed, and poclbm only recognizes the CPU.

Any help or insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
