But no in fact I see mine stabilize when sleeping.

http://94.197.185.117/monitor/bitcoinminer-1/bitcoinminer-1/phoenix_stats.html

Check out the hour I was away not working on the machine. A steady line on both GPU's as soon as I wake you see the wobbly lines at the end lol

That's some fancy graphs! I look forward to using them in 0.2 final. But if you disable the sleeping of the monitor, and leave the computer alone, do you get the same rates and stability? Or was the instability caused by your use of the computer? Maybe waking up the screen by moving the mouse causes a temporary drop in hashes causing the rate to be displayed lower than normal, but if the screen didnt wake up maybe it was going along at the fast rate?

Also is there something I can use to analyze and generate some fancy graphs like this before using 0.2? Thanks.

Your probably spot on there. Your more than likely seeing your hashrate decrease from your monitor waking up rather than loosing MH/s while sleeping. If anything it should improve stability.

And yes you can install and configure munin from the package manager but I'd wait because the GPU and mining stuff is native to linuxcoin Wink

How can I disable the screen from turning off when Im not at the miner? Im perfectly happy using the power button on the monitor, and I feel like the rates go down while the screen is sleeping, has anyone else noticed this or maybe a rise in hash rates? Thanks.

Code:

xset -dpms

in a terminal type

this will bring up the usual gui.

Well I guess when you post the next build I will re-format the USB and start over.

No need to give up yet !! Click on the bitcoin located on the bottom left of your screen and go

Accessories > Root terminal

Next type

Code:

passwd user

I did that, created new PW. Shut down, reboot, was not challenged for new PW and was able to get right into bitcoin.

Oh finally got the payment that I sent to the USB last night almost 24 hrs later *with* "speed it up" payment. YAY! took forever to upload the blockchain.

Now if I can only get this PW issue resolved then I think we have a bird that can fly.

root terminal in windows terms Cheesy

start > accessories > root terminal

but after your last input it looks as if you may have managed to change something if sudo su is asking you for a password.

Wiki is on it's way Cheesy

I've managed to get persistence to work and go to termial and used:

sudo passwd user

to create a new password, BUT when I shutdown and reboot I am not asked for a password?

How do I create a pasword that is required upon boot?

From the first post in this thread:

If you want to disable autologin edit /etc/inittab and

replace this

Code:
1:12345:respawn:/bin/login -f user /dev/tty1 2>&1

for this

Code:
1:12345:respawn:/bin/bash /dev/tty1 2>&1

and reboot

user@linuxcoin:~$ edit /etc/inittab
Warning: unknown mime-type for "/etc/inittab" -- using "application/octet-stream"
Error: no write permission for file "/etc/inittab"

hi,

first become root via "su" and then type the password "live" in, you won't see anything, hit enter.
Now you type "nano /etc/inittab" and you can change it.

Hit ctrl-x, y, enter to save it.

regards, talpan

user@linuxcoin:~$ su
Password:
su: Authentication failure
user@linuxcoin:~$ su
Password:
su: Authentication failure

First one is "live" . Second is the pw that I supposedly set a while ago.

I've tried it a number of times to be sure I typed it in corectly.

Or just run a root terminal Cheesy

PS: Final PXE test @

http://94.197.185.117/monitor/

I have no idea how to " just run a root terminal "

If you are still looking for ideas on your next build I request the ability to reset the PW inside the GUI.

Oikos.cash | Decentralized Finance on Tron

Thought I'd setup LinuxCoin 0.2.1b on a VM in my Win7-64 gaming machine that could be launched to mine overnight. The build went OK, however, when I run Bitcoin the first time to populate blocks it eventually will give the following error and close:

"Warning: disk space is low"

I set the VM disk to 8GB and dynamic. If I re-launch Bitcoin it will populate a few more blocks and then give the same error, eventually it immediately errors out without finding all the blocks.

Any fix?

Be careful using /etc/rc.local you scripts might be executed before the WDM can start your cards Cheesy

drgr33n,

you're right, I have a

Code:

sleep 20

before /home/user/mining.sh to give it time to start X (this is on an USB key with a sempron CPU).

spiccioli.

Odd. Why don't you just do it the right way?

kjj,

because I don't want it running in a terminal on X, I'm headless.

spiccioli

ps. maybe I could just use it to start /home/user/mining.sh and then go my route... I'll try it

Your headless but your still running your terminals using X ATI GPGPU's need X to access the hardware CUDA does not. If there was a way to access these resources without X I would of released another livecd with no WDM Cheesy

PS: LinuxCoin 0.2 final is imminent. I've really cleaned things up in this version and made sude EVERYTHING works.
1) I've added munin and wrote plugins to monitor everything via the nice little graphs I posted a link to the other day. All the plugin's auto detect your GPU's
2) PXE is now working great and very stable.
3) Added more hardware support
4) Optimized pyopencl
5) Made small changes posted by user do disable asking for user input on reboot.
6) Updated software and security updates
7) Fixed permissions error with screen
Cool

Updated smartcoin and working with the developer to get things running smoothly in linuxcoin.
9) Fixed bug with aticonfig not configuring the GPU's properly. Well fixed my error what caused aticonfig to bug out

If you would like anything added or see something changed / fixed please let me know ASAP as this release will be the last till I finish switching distributions.
