Yup


Yup


No it should work on most systems providing they can run a 64bit OS


sure


easy via the package manager.


not sure what you mean ?

this looks kickass, if it is what i think it is xD

i havent read up about linux and all so heres some newb questions xD

if i put this on a flash drive, i plug it in, set bios to boot from USB, itl boot and be ready to go right?
i can also just mine in a pool, instead of solo?
would i need to change anything for it to work with any setup (motherboard, CPU, graphics card) in the software before starting?
can i change things to optimize it? (more Mhash/s then when i dont)

is it possible to run a server for something like teamspeak?
and can i add a bigger (usb)flash drive that's accesible over the network and internet? (file sharing/streaming)
any chance of getting a bittorrent client to work?

from what i understand, the last 3 things will be the hardest
im up for some challenges, and im pretty tech-savvy, but i just never really got into the whole linux environment, but would love to

I got it working now and 11.6 does allow you to overclock outside of BIOS limits. The problem is that I was not installing the drivers properly. The driver seems stable in Ubuntu 11.06, but I guess it has different versions of X and other software.

You can do this but its not ideal. I'll post a video guide over night

I'm pretty sure the exact same procedure used to install it onto a USB flash drive will work on a hard drive too.  I can't think of any good reasons why it wouldn't, except that unetbootin might not be willing.

I will add a little bash script to dump this into a HDD


lol thanks Last screenshot of the uber sexy all new linuxcoin with some new and old features at work

DrGr33n is drake - love the Drake!!   Coinage to follow as soon as I get it mining :-)

yeah an installer!!!!

It would be nice to install it on HD and use as any other OS

I haven't got a clue why this hasn't worked for you ? I won't be adding 11.6 to linuxcoin anyway it's very VERY unstable, stick with 11.5 for now.



Unfortunately not the final version will be capable of this but I really don't have much time to get this out. as you've probably read I'm having some troubles in real life atm and just wanted to provide you guys with something with all the bugs fixed and user requests before I go AWOL for a little bit Hopefully to return on top of things and not homeless



Sorry didn't see you there. Again 32bit support will have to go on the back burner for now as it would require me to rebuild the whole of linuxcoin with 32bit in mind. The final version will have both 32 / 64 bit support. I will look into your net card now. LinuxCoin's kernel has just been upgraded

So we have ..

miners updated.
fixed spelling errors
fixed filemanager
added user requests ntp, java, screen etc
new look
shinny new kernel 2.6.39-2
tftpd, apache2 @ dnsmasq for running linuxcoin as a pxe server.
wireless server setup script
easy home folder encryption (migration supported only a couple of commands to complete)
added vino / remmina (remote desktop client and server)

You guys have about four hours till I pack this up and distribute it Any requests ? get them in now of they won't be included !!

Will there be a nice upgrade path for us existing LinuxCoin users (apt-get upgrade, perhaps?)

I dont get it then. My XFX 5870 wont go over 900Mhz with 11.6 drivers. Are you using some special command or something?

No it's true I tested last nite but lots and lots of system crashes ?


Thanks Oranofcorti !! Remote desktop will be added


The screensaver is now disabled by default. You can activate it when you like Tor is available via the package manager. I wont be adding this to linuxcoin due to space issues We are up to a little over 800mb already.

 

For browsing?
mining through tor is a bad idea, would cripple the latency and boost stale shares

I dont know if you are done with this, but it seems to be a false rumor. I just tested it in my XFX and the 11.6 drivers do NOT allow me to go beyond the bios limits.

For me, having screensaver on blank screen takes fewer cycles than having it off altogether. Fewer cycles means less power use.....

Hi,


Please disable screensaver by default and maybe TOR support?  :-)

Thx!!!

Sent you coinage. Working this hard when life kicks you in the balls means either you're a complete hard case - or in denial. Either way, you deserve praise and coins. More coins if you can make remote access n00b friendly (like in Ubuntu) without losing security.

Cheers mate!

I could not get linuxcoin to detect my Z68 gigabyte network card or a wireless usb adapter that was suppose to work with linux, thus the kernel must be older.  Also my Biostar Viotech 3100+ Via C7-d Cpu 1.6ghz Ddr2 Av Comb  Could not load the 64 bit os.  Maybe 32 bit. 

Yeah, I know drivers are always an issue. If it was just a normal update I would not ask for it, but I think not having to flash your cards is worth it. This was actually the only thing that was missing in Linux for mining. Now you can use AMDOverdriveCtrl without stupid limits.

Well, one thing is missing in Linux and its being able to read the current and the temperature of the VCC's. RadeonVolt does it, but only for some 5850's. I wish there was a way to do it for 5870's.
