lol well sort of. To access ATI GPGPU's you need control of X on the machine they are installed.

Code:

ssh -X user@ipaddress
password: live
cd /opt/miners/phoenix
python ./phoenix.py ...

I just tried doing it live on the machine with mouse/keyboard and I still get the same error

I don't get what you mean ? you tried that direct ? or you are using SSH on another machine to access your machine ?

Oh and don't use start_mining to start sessions via SSH, you will have to start the miners manually.

Aaaahhhhh are you forwarding xorg ?

I don't know the technical term/aspects of it, but I'm assuming that is what vnc/x11vnc might be doing?

This is very strange your hardware is detected and the kernel modules are loaded ok. Do you have access to your GPU via amdoverdrivectl ? Also when reinstalling to your flash media are you also reformatting your persistent space ?

Everything you are saying suggests that there's an error with registration. I've tested on a 5970 and everything seems fine so don't look like a hardware compatibility issue. The only thing I could find about the error you have said is that the registration files do not exist in the right place.

Are you using the machine direct or via SSH ?

Yes I have access to it in amdoverdrivectrl (previously had to reflash to default bios first for it to work, lost my voltage increase Sad

), and I reformatted the whole drive multiple times to be sure, I am accessing the machine over ssh/x11vnc

booted up fine the first time, but now I keep getting this error when I try to run phoenix/phatk

Code:

[19/05/2011 16:41:06] FATAL kernel error: Failed to load OpenCL kernel!

You haven't accepted the license agreement Cheesy

It worked the very first time I booted but never since (not using persistant at the moment)

I also tried to do it manually by

cd /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64
tar xvfz icd-registration.tgz -C /

but that still gives the same opencl kernal error

does /etc/opencl exist ? And you say it worked the first time ? If so it should work again as without persistence its a fresh filesystem every reboot.

/etc/opencl does exist, and everytime I reboot it asks me to accept the agreement and I do... yet I still receive the same error, I've even re-imaged my usb drive multiple times Sad

the only thing that I can think of is that I may have re-downloaded the iso when you fixed the ssh bug, but I don't have the original to compare with since I over-wrote it

Ok can you pastebin the output of

Code:

lsmod
lspci | grep VGA

cool.
maybe someone frontpage it to distrowatch.com site ?

p.s.
actually im more expect Knoppix foring or SLAX, than Debian itself, but thats only good, IMO Tongue

p.p.s.
can only thank you, cuz i have not enough BitCoins for such product :/

lol its still to early to start adding this distro to distrowatch ;: Thanks for suggesting though !!

i got everything running on 3 rigs its great. I have a few questions is there anyway to flash the bios on the cards my xfx radeon 5850s wont clock past 775 and id like to hit 800-850~?

i saw on page 2 someone posted a script to see the GPU temps with bash this is the code. How do i run or execute it?

Code:

while true; do
aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperature | tail -n1 | awk '{print "Current temp: " $5}' ;
aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperature | tail -n1 | awk '{print "Current temp: " $5}' ;
echo $(aticonfig --odgc --adapter=0| grep GPU);
echo $(aticonfig --odgc --adapter=1| grep GPU);
# Next lines are to check your balance if solo mining
# BALANCE=$(bitcoind getbalance)
# echo -ne "Bitcoin Balance: ${BALANCE}\r";
sleep 35;
clear
done

thanks for the great OS its really helpful.

Great good to hear your liking the new version. That's my code Cheesy

just a little skiddie script to view the temps of your GPU's and your balance if solo mining. Remember to change the device numbers to match your hardware. For eg if I had four cards in one machine it would be

Code:

while true; do
aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperature | tail -n1 | awk '{print "Current temp: " $5}' ;
aticonfig --adapter=1 --od-gettemperature | tail -n1 | awk '{print "Current temp: " $5}' ;
aticonfig --adapter=2 --od-gettemperature | tail -n1 | awk '{print "Current temp: " $5}' ;
aticonfig --adapter=3 --od-gettemperature | tail -n1 | awk '{print "Current temp: " $5}' ;
echo $(aticonfig --odgc --adapter=0| grep GPU);
echo $(aticonfig --odgc --adapter=1| grep GPU);
echo $(aticonfig --odgc --adapter=2| grep GPU);
echo $(aticonfig --odgc --adapter=3| grep GPU);
# Next lines are to check your balance if solo mining
# BALANCE=$(bitcoind getbalance)
# echo -ne "Bitcoin Balance: ${BALANCE}\r";
sleep 35;
clear
done

You could also use leafpad rather than nano if you would rather use a GUI Wink

REF,

Code:

nano start

copy and paste the code and save on exit.

Then

Code:

chmod +x start
./start

Nothing has changed between this version and 0.1 that would affect the DISPLAY variable ? It works fine on my machine ?

If you want to test try this.

Code:

DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 70"
sleep 5
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 30"
DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 70"
sleep 5
DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 30"

If every things working correctly the fan on card 1 should speed up then slow down and card two's fan should kick in then slow.

I'll have to get sober and read about displays on linux - it doesn't make any sense at the moment Grin

My point was that even if I export DISPLAY=:0 or :0.1, I don't get control over that particular display. It was working in 0.1 and it doesn't - just wanted to know what's changed

drgr33n

-X sets X forwarding on. Its not broken you need access to Xorg to access the GPGPU's on windows or linux.

if you export DISPLAY=:0 than your controlling the first of your cards. If you have more than one they are listed as other devices in order.

0 = display 0
0.1 = display 1

and so on. you can also set your display for AMDoverdrivectl the same

Code:

DISPLAY=:0.1 amdoverdrivectl

Would start the GUI for card 1.

Oh, you don't wanna know - that's the worst OS there is Grin

Anyways, so what changed from v0.1. I could simply

Code:

export DISPLAY=:0

and it would work fine. How do I configure ssh so I don't need the -X switch? Or is it not ssh at fault?

Oh man, I thought this day would never come, but I lost all hope and went with windblows. I finally got persistence working, but ssh errors(i had to force key generation, and although could ssh into the box, it would come up with some "No protocol specified" errors when trying to use aticonfig) and AMDOverdrive letting me adjust frequencies just for one of my cards pushed me over the edge Sad

I hope you'll fix it in the next release

There's nothing to fix lol it's more like a lack of knowledge than a OS error Cheesy

except SSH what had now been repaired. And if someone would of pointed out that SSH was broken than I would of fixed it alot sooner. This is why linuxcoin is alpha so people can test and I can fix the errors Cheesy

No protocol specified is due to the fact you don't have your display set. You have to ssh into your machine using the -X flag and set your display for each card. For example

Code:

ssh -X 192.168.1.2
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odgc

AMDOverdrive has a menu item but its impossible to select your card from there unless they update the program. You can set your card starting from a shell and using the -i flag to specify a device.

Not to mention if you are SSHing into a machine and want to change your clocks etc its pretty pointless using AMDOverdrivectl and you wont be able to control any cards with it over SSH. You would have to use aticonfig to setup your cards specifying your display via SSH.

Here's what I would do to SSH into a machine and get mining.

Code:

ssh -X 192.168.1.2
password: live
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --od-enable
DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --od-enable
DISPLAY=:0.2 aticonfig --od-enable
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odsc 900,900
DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --odsc 900,900
DISPLAY=:0.2 aticonfig --odsc 900,900
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odcc
DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --odcc
DISPLAY=:0.2 aticonfig --odcc
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 70"
DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 70"
DISPLAY=:0.2 aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 70"
cd /opt/miners/phoenix
DISPLAY=:0 python ./phoenix.py ....&
DISPLAY=:0.1 python ./phoenix.py ... &.
DISPLAY=:0.2 python ./phoenix.py .... &

Windblows ? Whats that then ? I saw a post on here where someone was taking the mick asking a guy who said he would write 10 lines of python for 0.1btc lol and A guy said program a new OS called windblows it would cost around 30BTC Cheesy

I didn't think this actually existed ?

EDIT: Ahhh winblows Cheesy

Yes sounds like your more of a windows type of guy.

People if you are clustering boxes and using SSH do some research on how to use your hardware via SSH.

Awesome! Thanks!

And no problem! It is great that you are doing this, I'm just happy to be of help to find these things!

Edit:
I should also mention that PROPERLY installing with persistent storage fixed the problem as well (still had to manually generate the keys, but they stuck after reboot).
