Can someone help me with this. I have a 4 GB stick, at first it was working fine somehow I got it to work. after I added a new GPU it starts to show unable to communicate to RPC or something. even after I removed it.
Can some one explain how to actually get this up and running?

Do you get out of range before LXDE starts ?
Yes, I get up to the splash screen, then the out of range error.
If you press ctrl + alt + F1 you should get a screen.
Then login using
user=user
password=live
and you can edit your xorg configuration file to add your desired screen size.
Code:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Can this work with NVidia GPU's?
Yes it can do and most of the stuff required can be installed via synaptic package manager. I held back on the nvidia stuff until the final version due to not a lot of people are using nvidia hardware to mine.

Yes I am aware of those issues and they are being worked on as we speak. Linuxcoin is going under major changes again so I'm going to be busy for the next week or so lol.

PS. I haven't forgot about the HDD install guide. I've been really busy over the last few days with work and other things, Hopefully my domain transfer will go through today and the wiki should be live
!!! Then we can start adding content like how to create a persistent install / HDD install etc.
Hi, I just started mining a couple weeks ago. I'd like to give linux a try, so I downloaded this distro and put it on a usb via unetbootin. Everytime I load it up it gives me an "out of range" error on my monitor. So I installed a different video card that has a vga output (My 5970 only has 2 dual DVIs and I have no DVI to VGA converter). Anyway, the 5970 and monitor I'm using needs to run at 1400x900 with a refresh rate of 75hz. Thats the only combo that works, even in windows 7. I've just learned to accept that. Anyway, my problem is that I can't install a different video card, change resolution to 1400x900~75hz and expect it to lock it when I go to logout and reboot.
Does anybody know how I can get my 5970 running this at the required resolution? I've already tried hitting tab in unetbootin and adding xrandr -s 1440x900 -r 75 to no avail. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Another thing I noticed... when pressing "shut down", the screen hangs showing the linuxcoin/linux mascot.
I assume it is waiting for me to press enter because it is a live cd?
Pressing enter does nothing.

FYI: clicking on "file manager" does not work. It simply re-loads the desktop screen for some reason?

You've got the filesystem types mixed up, the 1G partition should be fat32. the second can be ext3 or ext4.
Sigh... thanks. Sorry, went full retard for a moment there. May 25, 2011, 12:42:50 PM
What I've done:
1. Created 1 GB partition (ext4)
2. Installed to USB using unetbootin
3. Added a second partition as described in your guide
Won't boot. All I get is "Missing operating system" when I try to boot off the USB drive. Checked fdisk, partition is flagged bootable. Mounted the partition, files are there. I'm perplexed. Thoughts?
Thanks.

Sounds good! I am looking forward to it. Right now I am mining in a janky Windows 7 install since it was existing on the HDD i used in my new rig, and I am waiting to install a Linux distro this weekend (when I have free time). I was going to try Ubuntu, Debian, and CentOS, but after seeing LinuxCoin, I will give it a go first. I am wanting to do a full install to a HDD rather than run it from a flash drive or optical drive.
Just let me know when you are ready to setup the mirror. I am in the U.S. and my server is co-located in Kansas City MO.

drgr33n,
I would be willing to mirror the ISO if you need additional mirrors. I have a pretty fast pipe on my server
Also, if you ever decide to create a repository for LinuxCoin, I would be down to provide mirrors for that as well.

That will be very useful CubedRoot !! I'm going to leave it a few more days and catch up on some other bits and bobs then I'm going to be working on the final version and will require as many mirrors as possible.
I'll PM you soon bud

@ drgr33n: mate, this really is a lifesaver. If you try to run a sempron with high end graphics cards on windows - well, you can't. Not for long anyway. I also seem to get better speeds and fewer stale shares. And your distro means no figuring out dependencies and env vars and all that geeky stuff.
I've noticed that lots of apps needs to be run from root (eg pcmanfm, the miners, something else i forget) which is the reason some things won't work from the menu. Is this on purpose, or did do the permanence install wrong? Or something?
So far I've just gone in and chmodded everything I need (in /usr/bin and opt/miners) to work from a normal terminal without root perms but it occurred to me that you might have set it up this way for a reason - have I screwed my newly persistent LinuxCoin by changing perms?
Also, when you put out your next update, will I have to reinstall everything (including persistence) or will there be an update of some sort that wont need reinstalling?
Cheers for the hard work!

I am new to mining (I have 3 5850's delivering today!) and I am looking for a good linux distro to use for my miner. I was thinking ubuntu....till I saw this
I was wondering if there was a how-to or a tutorial I could read to learn how to install this to a local hard drive and run it.
