I have been using linuxcoin for about a week, i think its great. I followed a tut on youtube to install it on an hdd, instead i just used a usb flash drive, worked out the same and no persistance file issues at all. I wrote a small script to start poclbm mining on all hardware at once and to set my fans to 85% also keeps everything in one terminal window. I wrote another script to install to hdd with just a few command, will post that in a couple day. Just run this from /opt/miners/poclbm
Code:
#! /bin/bash # This script will guide you started mining.

echo "This will get you mining in a few seconds!"

echo "How many devices do you want to start mining on?:"

read deviceAmount

echo "What is the domain or ip of the mining server? EX. pit.deepbit.net :"

read miningServer

echo "What is the port your want to connect to? Ex. 8332 :"

read miningServerPort

echo "What is the username?:"

read userName

echo "What is the password?:"

read password

echo "What flags do you want to pass? Ex. -v -w128 :"

read -e flags

for ((i=0; i < $deviceAmount; i++))
do
sudo ./poclbm.py -d$i --host=$miningServer --port=$miningServerPort --user=$userName --pass=$password $flags &
export DISPLAY=:0.$i
aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 85" &
done

Poor impulse control.

setting to DISPALY to 0 or 0.1 didnt help.

sorry, i will just use windows for now, maybe next version will work for me better ...

ssh works  but i cant start anything gpu-related from it. I tried DISPLY=:0, 0.1, it doesnt work.


Hi,  I noticed in both posts you spelled DISPLAY wrong. Could it be that? I'm not being an arse - i find typos are a big reason for my bash mistakes since I can't touch type.

Good luck - I've had no problems using remote desktop on OSX and chicken of VNC (built-in OSX vnc wont work).

Hi, i am pretty bad at configuring linux, how do i get 0.2.1b to work without physical display? ssh works  but i cant start anything gpu-related from it. I tried DISPLY=:0, 0.1, it doesnt work.
Currently i am running 0.2a, it workes fine there and i use x11vnc to monitor stuff(everything on one screen and keeping ssh open caused 30% stales (i dont know why...)). Cant get x11vnc to work on 0.2.1b too.

Remote desktop is pre setup you just need to tick the box to say you want to allow connections. Check out system in linuxcoin's menu. If you want to run ssh to monitor your cards there are a couple of things you need to do.

After some beating on trying to get persistence to work(i suspect your 2gb file is broken ?at least didnt work for me...) i enabled remote desktop on desktop pc. But when i boot that system on mining
rig vnc cant connect to it. Ssh works, remote desktop doesnt. Back in desktop and everything works fine Sad
First I would change the password on the root account. Makes life easier and no security is needed really for a mining box.

Code:
ssh user@myip
sudo su
passwd root
xhost +
chmod uog+rw /dev/dri/card*

Now you can login as root and use your cards

Code:
ssh root@myip


Code:
xhost +
xhost: unable to open display ""
setting to DISPALY to 0 or 0.1 didnt help.

sorry, i will just use windows for now, maybe next version will work for me better ...

Finally got it onto the (hopefully bootable) USB.

Tired old man is going to bounce on the bed and see if it boots in the mawnin.

There are many helpful people here that that assisted me, lead by dr. green himself. I'll certainly try and pass it forward. Oh, and I have you beat in the "old" department, I'm 68 ;-)

Well I have taken the plunge and am downloading it now.

I have about 1% confidence that I understand the instructions but am going to give it my best shot.

Sure looks good "on paper".


Welcome aboard!  Linuxcoin is great & pretty straightforward to config/run - you'll like it once you get to know it :-)

First off awesome job!

I have a slight issue, I got LinuxCoin 0.2.1b up and running from a USB with the 1G persistence file, but every time I start a Phoenix miner I get a python depreciated warning. Has anyone else seen that?

Just a warning don't worry its go to do with phoenix need to be modded slightly to come up to date with pyopencl. It wont affect anything Cheesy

Just for fun who wants to monitor my LinuxCoin PXE mock cluster ? lol

http://94.197.175.14/monitor/

It's going to be online for 24 hours for a stability test. Next I'm going to be holding a competition Cheesy Who can hack linuxcoin for a reward Wink

You should include the option to monitor a mining setup such as the link you provided for your setup

On it's way Wink

Any plans on integrating cdhowies FMP (Flexible Mining Proxy) into linuxcoin? with the way the current major pools go up and down like jojos it might be useful to have the proxy on a easy to use distro.

http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=5506.0

Poclbm has an option for backup servers now, so no need to configure proxies or anything else. It also has the phatk kernel.

Radix-The Decentralized Finance Protocol
I was trying to get the fan speed profile to work (auto control) based on temps.  Even though it was set in the .over file the -b flag would not engage it.  I did not try a static fan speed setting.

Yes, that is the only option that does not work. It only works with the GUI on, dont know why. I have opened a bug, maybe you can add a comment so it picks the attention of the developer: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3322352&group_id=387278&atid=1609264

But aticonfig does not allow this option neither (as far as I know).

Another thing, I have one card that doesn't like being clocked at 1000 so I set a .over profile at 950, it would spit out that it was seting the clock at 950, followed by output stating it was set back to 1000.  Maybe I am doing something g wrong but I could not get different clock profiles to run concurrently on different cards.

Are you setting it in the right performance level? Also, you can not set a gpu speed lower than the previous performance level. F.e. if performance level 1 has gpu speed at 975Mhz, you can not set pu in performance level 2 a gpu speed of 950Mhz. To have a pgu speed of 950Mhz on performance level 2, set the gpu speed in performance level 1 under 950Mhz.

In general you should not have a higher setting for anything, gpu spped, memory speed or voltage, in a lower performance level.

One more thing, it does not affect mining apparently, but it is also recommended that the memory speed is the same in all performance level, specially in the card connected to the screen (if any).
