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.

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!

Glad you said something I was going to attempt to move my install to HD but I am waiting on the 0.2-final

Using 0.2prefinal in persistent mode. I'm having some difficulty with the Secure Bitcoin Client. First time I set it up it seemed to work fine. It issued a passphrase and all seemed well for that session. However, in subsequent sessions when the secure bitcoin client is launched and the passphrase is entered it opens with an entirely different coin key shown. I tried to create a new key and the secure client locked up.
What is the correct procedure for establishing a persistent, secure bitcoin client?

Got to the bottom of this one
Seems as if I was having one of my special moments when I wrote this. Of course your key changes because the script starts the bitcoin client then does the wallet transfer lol. Can you do me a favor and try this version .EDIT: two secs

1) Yes I have noticed this and I think it has something to do with plymouth. I'm looking into it now ;.)
2) Could do ? Not really considered this but it sounds like a good idea !!
3) May be due to the added security features of linuxcoin ? I will take a look later.
4) Umm it was tested ? What exactly is happening your end ?
Thanks for reporting these issues guys. I'll keep you updated as usual
1) thank you
2) just a thought
3) no worries I can adjust
4) I have spoken with the SmartCoin Author an it appears that there is a specific process to set it up
a) sudo su
b) svn update
c) bash ./smartcoin_install.sh
d) smartcoin needs to be run as rot due to added security ( so far I have only been able to get it to work by launching it from xwindows )

...make persistent mode the default.
Please!
With transient as second option
I was never able to figure out what all the other options are for and/or they did nothing, and have been deleting them so as not to confuse people.

Hey again guys !! I've had no feedback what so ever lol I don't know if this is a good thing or bad lol ??
!! I've had no feedback what so ever lol I don't know if this is a good thing or bad lol ??I have some feed back and this may be directly related to me since I use smartcoin
-1) I noticed that the prefinal version of linuxcoin does not cleanly reboot ( could be an issue for remote administration
-2) may want to make the final default persistent boot option
-3) for some reason I have to run my aticonfig commands as root now where that wasn't needed on the .2b version ( causes issues with smartcoin)
-4) the packaged install of smartcoin does not work ( may be easier to just include a install script that will install the latest version if the end user would like to utilize it )
+5) it does boot faster
+6) I like the secure bitcoin client ( even though I dont use a local wallet )
This is just what I have noticed when playing with it in the last 30 min may have more later
-2) I agree, make persistent mode the default.
-3) I've always used root for aticonfig.
-4) Haven't tried smartcoin yet, but my first cursery attempt to use guiminer failed and not tried it again.
-5) agreed.
-6) See my previous post, having some problems with sercure bitcoin client.
GUIminer has a small bug atm because it cannot find the phatk kernel using poclbm. You can just setup a new miner using phoenix for now. I've already fixed this for the final version. I sort of expected a few issues due to the amount of changes. Thats why I didn't really want to ask the guys hosting to upload this version and wait for the final version.

Sounds like a bug. I'll take a look later this evening bud. Ty for reporting !!
Hey again guys !! I've had no feedback what so ever lol I don't know if this is a good thing or bad lol ??
!! I've had no feedback what so ever lol I don't know if this is a good thing or bad lol ??Something appears dramatically wrong. I downloaded it two seperate times to two seperate computers and both of the old iso files are 799mb, but both of the new ones are only 84mb.
I re-formatted a known newish working usb and installed the iso. It installed way too quickly (which is what made me take note of the file size). The only option in the boot menu was default. It did not boot and only gave an error message;
"Invalid or corrupt kernel image"
sounds like a corrupt download ? Try redownloading using the links provided in the first post. I did have another file on the server for a brief time maybe you got that ?

"Invalid or corrupt kernel image"
EDIT
Did a Quick format on the usb, re-copied the previous iso and menu is back, boots normally, I did not take the time to copu a live-rw file this time.
EDIT 2
I dl'ed from the link a few posts up. will re-try from front page in a bit when "life" gives me a chance. 8^)
EDIT 3
Something is definitely off. I just tried to download it from the link on the first page and it was only 300mb or so. I just deleted it and am trying again.

Quick question: When I install the latest version of LinuxCoin on a USB stick and boot from it, will it affect my Windows install on the Hard disk? Does it do any writing to the hard disk or totally zero?
Don't want my Windows install to go to waste...

lol LinuxCoin has been designed to be your personal wallet. You can take it anywhere and use it on most newish computers and spend bitcoins etc without a trace on the local machine. The whole point of this OS is to work without touching your HDD's or anything else on your computer. LinuxCoin will not write to your local HDD's unless you tell it to

To create it directly on the LinuxCoin drive,
boot from usb
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/live-rw bs=1M count=600
mkfs.ext3 -F /mnt/live-rw
In this example the 600 represents a 600MB file and /dev/sda1 is the name of the usb key
Hope that helps

i'd love to have a release not dependant on x86_64
i've got a handful of boxes that could produce a little if not for that.

Great project.
I'd like to propose either an extension to the project, a completely new distro or ideally both.
The reason I say a completely new distro for offline backup is to keep things simple and secure.
The mockup would be like this.
Things to include would be:
- saned (for recovering a wallet.dat backed up as a printed imaged)
- cups
I would suggest a minimal ncurses based menu at first, with options to backup to a file on USB but also to create a .png image and print it, checking that the printer works first.
You could base the distro from http://tiny.slitaz.org/ or http://mirror.slitaz.org/pizza/
