Can you post instruction on running/configuring vnc server?  you say it comes installed? 

It will boot linuxcoin after it times out. Think its set to 20 seconds but after you've installed linuxcoin you can play with the grub.cfg config file located in /boot. Here's a great guide

Sorry for the delay guys. Just discovered a major bug in the user setup config and about 30% of the time I'm getting the gdm boot screen with no valid user account. Working on it now

Thanks for the video tutorial very useful... Just have a small question about installing on HD, what If I want to reboot remotely at the grub loader screen do you always need to select a operating system? ofcause this is not possible remotely, but im sure there is a way to edit the grub loader to auto boot Linuxcoin??

lol it's on its way I stopped the download yesterday due to one of my friends spotting a new bug while I was uploading.

Just posted a video on how to install linuxcoin to your HDD. Its on the OP of this thread but I'll link it again here . Please excuse my voice but I have a stinking cold and the sound quality was crap anyway

Where is this 'ISO' of which you speak? Where can I find it?

(have to love it when a movie quote finally gets some use)

I didnt. I got 11.6 in my regular linux HD install. Im playing around with LinuxCoin but I am still not using it. When LinuxCoin includes 11.6 Ill give it another try.

so i've got autostart working nicely now.  Thanks.

Apparently I do not understand screen so I am going to avoid that for now.  once I ssh into the box and changed dir to home/user/ and did screen -ls I could see a session (connected)
then i ran the command to disconnect, and it would show disconnected.  but then I couldn't get connected to it.  just said "connect from inside screen?"
so i'm definately doing something wrong.
on the actual machine it works fine, just can't do it through ssh for somereason.

so i tried install xrdp and I can connect to it from windows RDP client.  but then it gives me some another login screen for xrdp.  i change it to sesman-x11rdp and use user/live and it says connected but then crashes.

i can't figure out vnc either, i thought it was already loaded.  do i need to configure it or launch the server somehow?

thanks in advance

Without persistence, yes, 1 GB is enough.  With persistence, I'm not sure.

If you want to try it, make the first partition a bit bigger than the ISO image, but leave as much space as you can for the second partition.  Or, just get a 2 GB drive, so that you can work with round numbers and save yourself some hassle.

Can I use a 1Gb pendrive right? thanks.

Don't know if this is of use but you can easily create a casper partition/file on a usb drive.

DrGr33n,


This is something you should consider for your next release - can't take the credit for it (it comes from SMARTcoin), but I think it's a great idea & can help you out a bit:

"There is also a new "feature" called AutoDonate.  This allows you to donate a  percentage of your hash power to donation pools/workers that I have set up to help fund development.  How it works is this:
- During install, you are asked if you want to donate a small bit of hash power to the cause
- You can specify how many minutes per day to donate your hashes to the donation pools. (i.e 36 minutes per day is 1%)
- A random start time is generated and stored in the database
- Each day, starting at the random start time, hashes will be donated to the donation pools instead of the ones defined in the currently running profile.  After the specified number of minutes, hashes go back to your profile's defined pools as normal.
- Of course, you don't have to donate at all, but I thought it was a creative solution especially for those that wish to donate, but can't spare the bitcoins up front.  You can also change the donation setting from the menu at any time.  I have nothing to hide here and you can examine the source for yourself.  If you decide to use smartcoin, please consider a small ongoing AutoDonation!"


Cheers!!

In that case thank you very much.  And.... RELEASE RELEASE RELEASE!!  

Sent ya a little coinage.  I know it's not much, but hopefully it helps, and hopefully I will be able to donate more in the future.
edit: Its coming from tradehill so might take a little to get to ya.

I manged to do it...
You need to have a persistent install of linux
Then use this manual
...
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Debian

But...
One line in there is
sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg

You need to do
sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run --install
instead... It did not let me build a package (what ever it means)

I did had evantually 1 problem.. You need to uninstall aticatalyst before you install the new one...\and I think I deleted also opencl...
Anyway if you dont want to uninstall the old catalyst you can just do

sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run --install  --push

Then it overwrite the files already there... But they say its not good...

hugolp,

can you share how you installed catalyst 11.6 on a linuxcoin 0.2a?

TIA

spiccioli

Already been sorted bud

Too late to make a request?

I do not like the transparent root/lxterminals I usually change my background to a black one so I can read everything easily, but if I reboot it doesn't save.  So far my easiest solution is to save the background pic to desktop and set it each time, but that is annoying.  I noticed if i changed to one of the other included backgrounds it also wouldn't save.

is there a way to make it save background changes?  Or disable transparency on the terminals?

LinuxCoin 0.2b wont be shipped with 11.6. You can install the latest catalyst manually yourself or wait for the update to take place in a few weeks. Now uploading the ISO guys

I tried upgrading Catalyst to 11.6 on my 0.2a Linuxcoin install, and without going into details, let's just say that either I fuxored it up or it simply didn't want to work    So I'm back to stock 0.2a again with Catalyst 11.5.  Needless to say I am eagerly awaiting Linuxcoin 0.2b with Catalyst 11.6 so I can throw some additional overclocking on my 5830s.

Right.  FAT32 is a proprietary Microsoft format and you need to perform that operation on a windows device.  When I got linuxcoin working, thats the only step that needed Windows.

can someone help me with this?

Created a partition, formatted as FAT32
unetbootin to install linuxcoin
boot is set as above

it just hangs??

edit: tried a different usb stick and it is working

now setting up
