I tried to do an re-image ontop of the first partition and leave the persistent one alone but it caused odd errors that went away when I redid the persistent partition, so I would recommend backing up your data files and starting from scratch

So, I'm running 0.2b now. When the next version comes out, can I just overwrite the 1st partition with the new iso and keep my persistent partition and my stuff with stay? or do I have to start over with each upgrade?

apparently I've been running the "bad" version, haven't noticed anything... what was the issue?

anyway, any ideas on my question above?

I have my Thumb drive setup and working like I want, is there a way to replicate the thumb drive sector by sector encase this one gets corrupted?

I downloaded the latest LinuxCoin 0.2.1b and I noticed a couple of things.

1. /var/run/screen still needs chmod 777 when I use usb persistence (I'm using 2 partitions FAT32 for boot and EXT4 for persistence)... not a big deal since I can just add to boot script
2. I'm using smartcoin which uses "bc" as part of its status update so I had to apt-get it
3. I also added to /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf -> send host-name "linuxcoin"; so that my router's dns can resolve it by name.
4. It still hangs on shutdown/reboot waiting for "Remove USB...press Enter" so I commented out the following lines in the /etc/init.d/live-boot:

Quote

# printf "\n\n${MESSAGE} and press ENTER to continue:" > /dev/console
# read x < /dev/console

Thanks for the sweet live distro.

EDIT: if anyone wants to know a way to add auto startup mining, this is what i did...
I created a script called setup_stuff.sh that changed permisions for screen, setup GPUs overdrive and launched smartcoin

add the following line to the global desktop environment application autostart file: /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

@/home/user/setup_stuff.sh

This configuration makes sure none of the mining is kicked off before LX is logged in and executes with the "user" login.

Thank You for the info I have made the changes to my LinuxCoin install and will do a test reboot when I get home .. this could have saved me several hours of downtime this morning

oh well live and learn.

If your booting pxe it shouldn't hang because live-boot knows your pxe ? How you got it setup ? Sorry about screen I swore i set the permissions !! Lol and sorry for missing bc Wink

thanks for the info bud !!

I'm booting from USB stick. I have a fat32 and ext4 partition. The ext4 is labeled "live-rw" so it becomes the /live/cow mount for persistence. It looks like the symlink /var/run -> /run which is tmpfs, so the permissions are being set somewhere at boot and don't persist between boots. I'll look into PXE when/if I add another rig, right now my 5 dollar 4gig micro usb stick is working wonderfully

Thanks,
jaebird

Mem is not needed really for mining, but it will take power and cause heat, so you want it as low as possible while not throttling your hashrate.

If possible, set MEM to 300-350 (335 is a good starting point) and GPU as high as it stays stable.

Why does the clock need to be <400? (sorry still new to the over/under clocking game

)

Just inboxed you bud Wink

Everyone who wants to use the PXE stuff all scripts are in /opt/PXE. Your going to need at least 1.5GB of persistence to roll with it. And make sure you cram as much ram as possible into your nodes.

Only run the install once !! The scripts are very quick and very dirty Cheesy

See the first post for more info.

EDIT: ISO is live !!! Wink

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!

Type, in a root terminal:

Code:

cd /opt/miners/phoenix

Code:

python phoenix.py -u http://username:[email protected]:8339/ -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=7 WORKSIZE=128 DEVICE=0 FASTLOOP=false

New root terminal

Code:

cd /opt/miners/phoenix

Code:

python phoenix.py -u http://username:[email protected]:8339/ -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=7 WORKSIZE=128 DEVICE=1 FASTLOOP=false

Now start 'upgrading' the aggression level until you see one of the miners hashrates get instable.
I like one miner at aggression=11 and the other at 9 for most stable results.

Then start AMDoverclocktool to up the GPU and down the MEM speed of GPU0, start a new version for GPU1 (has to be from root terminal: AMDOverdriveCtrl i=3 ) and do the same until you are satisfied with the hashrates.

+1 except try WORKSIZE=256 if your mem clocks are > 600 Wink

Thanks! Will the phoenix command get both 5830s mining?

Read my post again:
first line is to start device=0
second line is to start device=1

You need to start every GPU seperately, you do this by telling Phoenix what device to use.

Sorry, I see see the reference to DEVICE=0, but nothing for DEVICE=1.

OK, this linux noob got the 0.2.1b .iso to install in persistent mode from a USB 16gb stick and it looks good! Launched Bitcoin client and it is downloading blocks.

Can some (patient) person take the time to post the CLI commands necessary to start basic mining with two HD 5830s?
