I heard there was a limit GPU OpenCL can support depend on OS.

OS can detect as many as I plug in. But on Windows, I'm sure 100% I can only mine with 4 GPU.

But with Linux, someone said 6, someone said 10 (Ubuntu).



Like I said I've never looked into this I will have a bit of a read up later.

Are you still coming out with a release version this week? If you say no, guess I will just have to use 0.2.1b and live with the bugs.




Should be ready by mid / end of the week.

Just updated the wiki to include a tested way of setting up X11 forwarding + how to enable VNC via SSH Wink enjoy !!

In Ubuntu 11.04, i mined with 8 cards on MSI big bang marshal mother board. 4 * 5870 & 4 * 6970.
So, i am sure In Linux you can mine with 8 cards that too different series.
Many says 11.6 catalyst allows Windows to mine with 8 cards, but it didn't work for me. May be if you use same series & cards, it may mine.

Thank drgr33n

I'll try it and report here.

But how about my other question: How many GPU LinuxCoin can support? (The maximum GPUs can mine in one Linuxcoin machine?)
6 or 8 or 10?

Not sure never tried top overload but I would of thought as many as you can cram into one machine.

xhost didn't allow you to take control of the screens. I'll look into this now. If your using persistence Just add

Code:
xhost +
chmod uog+rw /dev/ati/card*

to /etc/init.d/gdm just before the exit 0; so it looks like this

Code:

  ;;
  *)
        echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/gdm {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload|st$
        exit 1
  ;;
esac
chmod uog+rw /dev/ati/card*
xhost +
exit 0

and reboot for now. I will look into this in a while.

Did I miss something? I'm using Linux Coin 0.2.1b

//BTW: How many GPU LinuxCoin can support? I'm going to plug 7 5850s, now only 5 is ok.

echo $DISPLAY: the system print an empty line

anyhelp, pleases



You can't echo $DISPLAY from a SSH session, you have to do it from inside the GUI.

Yes you can you just need to set it up Wink

Hi,

After I ssh or vnc to my linuxcoin rig, I run aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all or any aticonfig command, the system say:

No protocol specified
ERROR - X needs to be running to perform ATI Overdrive(TM) commands

Can anyone help me?

You can try setting your DISPLAY environment variable.  You can check it by starting a terminal in the GUI and running
Code:
echo $DISPLAY
My scripts write it into a file for use in non-GUI stuff.

I get that error all the time, it is the DISPLAY variable.  Put DISPLAY=:0 before any aticonfig or AMDOverdriveCtrl commands over ssh or vnc.  It should it should look like this
Code:
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all
This will solve segmentation fault errors with miners also when using remote access.  May be a better way of setting it, but I'm not great with linux and this works well for me.

I'm about to make the leap to Linuxcoin. I have 3 dedicated miner computers that I can simply use USB thumb drives for.

My question is this....

I have a Windows 7 computer that I use for gaming. It has a Nvidia card that I use for games, and an ATI/AMD card that I use for mining.

Can I use Vmware on that Windows 7 computer to run Linuxcoin and mine on the AMD/ATI card using Smartcoin?

Would like to get some feedback before I go wasting a bunch of time trying it. Better to learn from others successes or failures first before investing the time.


Let me preface my folowing comment: I am a total Linux noob! That said I have not been successful in implementing a LinuxCoin VirtualBox setup on my Win7 gaming machine. Although this would be ideal, it just doesn't work for me. My fallback strategy is to mine overnight on the Win7 machine the same way I do on the dedicated miner: boot from a USB stick--works fine that way, I just don't have access to the machine with Win7.

Are you "enabling" aticonfig first?

Code:
sudo -s

aticonfig --od-enable

Then any other aticonfig commands you want to invoke.

thats from narnia right?

anyway, this really sounds more and more as a random, unsolvable problem Angry (or solvable by a solution *way* too easy)

ive been thinking, is there a way to make the linuxcoin USB stick recognized as a HDD isntead of removable media? it just feels like the problem is there becouse a W7 installation works, but thats recognized as an HDD

Nope I'm afraid not I'd guess the board just don't like the sticks. I will look into this in a while to see if I can help you out more.

hi there,

can anybody post me a working install script to hdd, i want to use a usb stick.
but i dont want use a unetbootin stick.

the hdd installer method doesnt work for me, i got many errors @ first boot.

i try this, but i didnt have some luck.

Code:
Gparted /dev/sda1 ext2, /dev/sda2 swap

mkdir /mnt/hdd
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/hdd

rsync -avH --exclude=/proc/* --exclude=/dev/* \
--exclude=/sys/* --exclude=/tmp/* --exclude=/lost+found \
--exclude=/var/tmp/* --exclude=/boot/grub/* \
--exclude=/media/* --exclude=/live/  \
--exclude=/mnt/* / /mnt/hdd

sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/hdd/dev
sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/hdd/proc
sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/hdd/sys
sudo mount -t devpts devpts /mnt/hdd/dev/pts
sudo chroot /mnt/hdd /bin/bash

apt-get install grub2

nano /etc/fstab

none         /dev/pts      devpts    defaults      0 0
proc         /proc         proc      defaults      0 0
/dev/sda1    /             ext2      defaults      0 1
/dev/sda2    none          swap      sw            0 0


That script is incomplete or been copied wrong ? What are the errors your getting ?
@ rsync copy i got
sent 2324225093 bytes  received 1227751 bytes  1463009.02 bytes/sec
total size is 2319160468  speedup is 1.00
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous error3) at main.c(1070) [sender=3.0.8]

on first boot i got some inode errors, i fix it with fsck.
on sec boot i got this:

1. /script/local-premount/libsplashy not found
2. /etc/init.d/rc Pidof: permission denied
3. /etc/init.d/udev Pidof: permission denied (~15 times)
4. /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh Pidof: permission denied

i change the root password before i start the copy with rsync, its that the problem ?

Edit:
I cant test it for now, but its maybe possible to byte copy the squashfs image with?
dd if=/live/image/filesystem.squashfs of=/dev/sda1

rsync is failing and files are being skipped. You checked the MD5sum of your ISO ? I do know of a small problem with 0.2.1 where some image files are corrupt within the filesystem. But haven't caused me any problems when installing to the local HDD.

what errors are you getting when following my tutorial ? I will be adding a installer to 0.2-final. It's due for release this week Wink
