Sorry about the delayed release of 0.2-final but I can assure you guys it will be worth the wait Wink Further optimizations in progress !! Also slimming down the ISO and trying to get it down to CD size again.

lots of other improvements like more wireless support, Lots more hardware support, faster system and tweaked custom kernel Wink I'm hoping for a very fast system with lightning speed mining Cheesy

Also if anyone got any weird PM's or anything from my account here on saturday night my apologies. Someone gained access to my account and posted some abuse on this post. I don't know if anything else was done ? Serves me right for leaving my forum password the same as my password on mtgox Sad


if anyone is useing linuxcoin with persistence and smartcoin please send me a PM with a guide on how you made it work in detail please.   so far for me i cant make it work even though its installed ,  when you type in smartcoin it doesnt start just says command unknown or something to the effect

Did the svn update thing on a completely new install and get the same error as before:

Code:
root@linuxcoin:/opt/miners/phoenix# ./phoenix.py -u http://mylogin:[email protected]:8332 -k phatk DEVICE=0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./phoenix.py", line 123, in

  File "./phoenix.py", line 112, in makeKernel
    self.kernel = kernelModule.MiningKernel(requester)
  File "kernels/phatk/__init__.py", line 132, in __init__
    platforms = cl.get_platforms()
pyopencl.LogicError: clGetPlatformIDs failed: platform not found khr

Tried out DiabloMiner as well:

Code:

Also, once I get this actually working.... you will definitely be getting a donation for the help.

Also:
Code:

Get that out.

On the latest image I get this whenever I try and run an aticonfig command :

ERROR - X needs to be running to perform ATI Overdrive(TM) commands.

What are the boot options for a failsafe persistent boot Huh

Final testing / benchmarking in progress Wink better late than never hey !! Once complete just got to add the HDD installer and it looks like we are good to go !! Stand by for more info.


Got it working....  had to do the stuff listed in section 2.2 here.  Didn't see any of the env variables set before hand.

Lol no you didn't you needed to accept the license agreement again Cheesy



It was the env variables that seemed to fix it up for me.  That install stopped working after a bit too, I'll just try it out at a later release I think.

Delete /etc/init.d/fglrx and do it again if your persistent and reboot. I'm looking into the current bug you reported earlier and should have it fixed in the final version.

Code:
rm /etc/init.d/fglrx
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all
init 6

Also I've noticed that using the -f flag on some machines screws with the cards too. If this doesn't work you could retry these steps but drop the -f flag

Well I went with a fresh install of it then updated Python, Twisted, and PyOpenCL as the phoenix miner post says they are required and ran into some different issues... I think it was with installing PyOpenCL that some nvidia packages got loaded on, then my computer didn't recognize any AMD cards.  I did "AMDOverdriveCTRL -h | grep active" and it did not show any cards.  After a reboot it went back to just CLI (because of no display cards) and I just cleared out the USB stick.  I'm going to try it again and fool around with some of the code you listed.

Thanks for all the help with this, and sorry for the trouble... but better to run into it now rather than later I guess?

Linuxcoin has all the latest requirements for all miners preinstalled. You don't need to do anything except load linuxcoin cd over to /opt/miners/phoenix run svn update for the latest version and go. I would say your troubles have more to do with all the extra crap that comes with pyopencl from the debian repo.

Everything seems to be in order ? Um have you tried reconfiguring xorg and restarting ? There is a small bug in xorg I'm looking into that causes OpenCL to bug out sometimes. Try removing and reconfiguring your devices and restarting Xorg.

Code:
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all
/etc/init.d/gdm restart

Also make sure your running as root.

Tried that and now I am booting to only CLI... messed around with it some and nothing new.

So I installed Linuxcoin on my new rig (first dedicated one) and I get the above error when trying to run my miners.... any ideas?

You need to accept the SDK license agreement. Just click the icon in settings.


Now I get

Code:
[16/07/2011 03:26:45] FATAL kernel error: Failed to load OpenCL kernel!

Thanks for the quick response!

Jen get me on msn at maxinmontreal at hotmail dot com and I will walk you through it. It sounds like your setup is not persistant. I too did not like the size of the fonts or the lighter colours, but all is fixed now. I can even leave notes on my desktop exactly like you are asking.

biggest problem for me is 2 things

fonts are to small ,  and to light .  i have poor eyesight .   is there a way of fixing this so its larger fonts and more darker?

another problem is i am useing 58xx cards and with version 2.4 sdk i see lower hash rate than i would with 2.1 sdk is there a way of changing this?

is there a way of having a note pad on desktop that will stay so i can read notes and making changes?

would like to be able to use this instead of useing hard drives as i am now but am unsure what can be done
