Is there anyway to get rid of the background? i'm trying to do remote desktop and the screen doesn't refresh right, I heard if you disable the wallpaper it'll work. I went to my desktop settings and see no choice for "none". Any ideas?
June 27, 2011, 08:17:05 PM
almost forgot, anyone here implement anything like:
1. publishing the temps and mhash/s etc to a website for remote summary?
2. a script that will kill the miner(s) if the temps get too high?
1. publishing the temps and mhash/s etc to a website for remote summary?
2. a script that will kill the miner(s) if the temps get too high?
I've started to play with (1)!
I have currently got my hashrate, accepted, invalid and card temps to be displayed on the linux box via apache.. After I make it a little more usable for others, I'll release this for you.

Hey man can you tell me how to do a simple script to start my miners just by clicking a file on my desktop. I use the poclbm miner. Sometimes my computer freezes and i need to restart for some odd reason. It doesn't have to be fancy.. I'd just like to start them by clicking a file. (or 3 separte files for seperate miners) 
I will send you a bitcoin when I get on my other computer with my wallet.. Peace.

it is a 5870 in a rig with a 5850, both are sapphire, now I'm running the 5870 at 890,900 (core/mem) but I'd like to put memory down to 300-330 like I do for the 5850.

drgr33n,
if you want to be able to reboot a rig from remote and be sure that it is fully re-initialized (maybe because you find it hanged with a kernel trap), you need to:
- remove from /etc/init.d/live-boot the request that reads "remove USB key and press enter to reboot", this is the annoying thing
and to accomplish this you have to remove the line "read x < /dev/console" which is the command that stops the re-boot waiting for a key- change /etc/default/kexec where it says: LOAD_KEXEC=true, put false instead, so that you always do a cold reboot. A sudo coldreboot does the same thing, but if you're remote and issue a sudo reboot for error... dang, system locked
BTW, is Catalyst 11.6 installed?
I'm trying to put a 5870 to 885,300 and it says

Ok makes sense I'll probably revise this iso as I think
I rushed a little to get it out and overlooked a couple of things.
Yes the catalyst is at 11.6 some report it working others say it doesn't. What cards ? And just checking but you did enable overdrive first right ?
New issue: Running in persistent mode and enabled encryption on the user's home directory. I also changed the auto-login script in inittab. I rebooted and was prompted with the desktop with the missing background/menu items. It seems to have auto-logged in as the user. I logged out and logged back in as the user using my own password, so far so good. I checked TTY1 and saw that the root user is logged in. Furthermore, the user is logged in on other terminals.
This isn't very secure if root auto-logs in at reboot. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a user.

This is normal behaviour. When gdm auto logs in it actually uses a gdm account. That's why when you log back in you have no icons because gdm doesn't have permission to Access your home directory. And admins still logged in because you swiched to telinit 1 I assume. Doesn't matter root doesn't have a password and when you reboot if you disabled autologin you will be met with the login screen and root won't be logged in on any terminal. Well unless you open one
I would recommend creating a new account and dropping user all together.

Edit: Rebooted to Default and then again into Persistent mode and it brought me to a desktop. Not sure what happened.

Forget the old tutorials guys and read the first post again. It's as simple as 123 to install Linuxcoin with persistence. No os swap no two partitions. Just format your drive as fat32 forget about partitions. Download a filesystem image from the link in the first post and extract it to your flash media. Reboot and select Linuxcoin persistent.
You don't need to edit syslinux and you dont need to get technical lol just use the image files unless you are comfortable with using Linux to format your partitions. I worked hard getting this right so you didn't have to mess about and get your hands dirty

I Linux/LinuxCoin newbie here and just started installing LinuxCoin yesterday.
I have the same problem as some people here that version 2.0b does not work.
I have installed 2.0a by following the instructions and I am able to run with persistent.
Then I have another flash drive installed 2.0b and boot again with this newly created flash drive. I am not sure if I have persistent or not (I chose that option), but all the software are 2.0b version now
I have another question:
I was running windows 7 64bit before. Now, it won't allow me to boot up windows again. When it boots, it give me some error message saying something like system file error, and the only way I can boot is using LinuxCoin now. Need some advice for this newbie.
Thx!

If you can create a bit for bit image file of an 8gb partitioned persistent stick running .2b, that would make a lot of people's lives a lot easier. The persistence doesn't work, even after modifying syslinux.cfg in the windows readable portion of the stick. In .2b there's no /media/x09sd9fj to unmount.
Is it possible to instead create a bin or img file that can be written bit for bit to an equally partitioned usb stick? There are sure to be a few windows based programs that allow for bit level cloning ala ghost.
I'll pay you or anyone else $50 for this tutorial/image file via paypal. I want to see LinuxCoin own.
What is the problem? you make 2 partitions, one fat32 and put the linuxcoin image on it with unetbootin. The second, leave as free space. boot in default mode, follow the "old" guide..
if you have /dev/sda1 as the linuxcoin partition:
fdisk /dev/sda
n
p
2
enter
enter
w
shutdown, restart choosing persistent mode
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2 -L live-rw
enter
enter
sudo df
you should see:
/dev/sda1 ... /live/image
/dev/sda2 ... /live/cow
now shutdown, plug the usb stick into your pc and edit /live/image/syslinux.cfg and put the last 2 lines under persistent where the last 2 lines for default were. now it will be persistent mode by default
This works fine - can't get to edit syslinux.cfg in root mode as to allow saved changes, though. Any Ideas?

Then I have another flash drive installed 2.0b and boot again with this newly created flash drive. I am not sure if I have persistent or not (I chose that option), but all the software are 2.0b version now
Another question:
I was running windows 7 64bit before. Now, it won't allow me to boot up windows again. When it boots, it give me some error message saying something like system file error, and the only way I can boot is using LinuxCoin now. Need some advice on how to boot up windows.
Thx!

This is exactly what I have now too with v0.2b and I have not checked yet if I have persistence or not, I just mine for now and if I encounter the urgent need to have persistency, I will bother someone again.here's the output. anyone have ideas? it looks like the referenced /media/ mentioned in the post doesn't exist on my output. i have a tmpfs mounted on /live/cow but.. well.. i'm stuck. help!

The only real gain I had with persistence enabled was that it remembered the background and font color of the root terminal, and in v0.2b these settings are back to black/white again so if I have to reboot ever, I don't have to do any settings, all is setup for me, thanks to Gr33n
So if you don't get persistence working, ask yourself: do I need it? Is all the effort that goes into making it work worth the time that you are now not mining? What settings is it remembering that you really need?
I just go to /opt/miners/phoenix and then run the miner, then I click AMDOverclockCtrl tool and set my clocks.
All done, nothing to do here for weeks. Until next LinuxCoin version comes out

Are you guys booting with the persistence option ?
Thanks for all the email and host links guys !! I'll reply to you all tomorrow as its very late now and I need to get some sleep

If you can create a bit for bit image file of an 8gb partitioned persistent stick running .2b, that would make a lot of people's lives a lot easier. The persistence doesn't work, even after modifying syslinux.cfg in the windows readable portion of the stick. In .2b there's no /media/x09sd9fj to unmount.
Is it possible to instead create a bin or img file that can be written bit for bit to an equally partitioned usb stick? There are sure to be a few windows based programs that allow for bit level cloning ala ghost.
I'll pay you or anyone else $50 for this tutorial/image file via paypal. I want to see LinuxCoin own.
What is the problem? you make 2 partitions, one fat32 and put the linuxcoin image on it with unetbootin. The second, leave as free space. boot in default mode, follow the "old" guide..
if you have /dev/sda1 as the linuxcoin partition:
fdisk /dev/sda
n
p
2
enter
enter
w
shutdown, restart choosing persistent mode
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2 -L live-rw
enter
enter
sudo df
you should see:
/dev/sda1 ... /live/image
/dev/sda2 ... /live/cow
now shutdown, plug the usb stick into your pc and edit /live/image/syslinux.cfg and put the last 2 lines under persistent where the last 2 lines for default were. now it will be persistent mode by default
