Comes up with some depencacies errors. I tried installing those packages separately with -f but it didn't work either. Also tried apt-get upgrade - no luck. One more problem - can't get persistence to work.

Me too. I'm desperate for the v0.2 as I can't install atioverdrive in v0.1 and my cards are running very hot

Why can you not install atioverdrive?

Ah had to make it into an executable Roll Eyes

Thanks both of you, looking forward to the new version of the ISO!

nooooooooooo Grin

these are separate commands. copy and paste them one at a time. and sorry for the typo it's pheonix.py not .pl

Code:

cd /opt/miners/phoenix
chmod +x phoenix.py
python phoenix.py -u http://username:[email protected]:8332/ -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=12 WORKSIZE=128 DEVICE=0

Folax,

Code:

chmod +x poenix.pl

Thanks, tried that too:

Code:

cd /opt/miners/phoenix
chmod +x phoenix.pl -u http://username:[email protected]:8332/ -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=12 WORKSIZE=128 DEVICE=0

chmod: invalid option -- 'k'
Is that the -k I used? When I take that out I get a bunch of errors of course...

The last error with phoenix is due to the permissions not being set properly. there's several posts on this thread that explains how to get around this. In short run the command like this

Code:

python ./phoenix.pl .....

Thank you for your reply.

So you suggest I try:

Code:

cd /opt/miners/phoenix
python ./phoenix.pl -u http://username:[email protected]:8332/ -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=12 WORKSIZE=128 DEVICE=0

I get: Python: can't open file './phoenix.pl': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I tried python /phoenix.pl and ./phoenix.pl too but no luck.
How could it be this works for some and not for others, while they are using the same ISO?

BTW the unetbootin link in your OP is broken.

Hi,

I finally tried Linux and your ISO is the first.

Some things I found on this forum and tried which didn't work (and found no sollution for them):

Enable overclocking ..

Code:

aticonfig --enable-od

Result: aticonfig: unrecognized option ' --enable-od'
aticonfig: pairing the command line failed.
This should be:

Code:

aticonfig --od-enable

Code:

aticonfig --odsc 900,900 --adapter=youradapter

Works to set GPU to 900 and Mem to 900, but how to set mem to 300? When I try

Code:

aticonfig --odsc 900,300 --adapter=youradapter

it says that's not valid.

For mining, when I try

Code:

cd /opt/miners/phoenix
./phoenix.py -u http://username:[email protected]:8332/ -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=12 WORKSIZE=128 DEVICE=0

I get: ./phoenix.py permission denied

I read someone else got this error but I did not read how he got around it.
Any help?

Yes seem s I put yet another typo Cheesy

it should be --od-enable. You cannot set your memory below 900 because its the lowest you can set it as it probably locked by the bios. You can edit the bios on some cards to allow you to set it lower but its out of the scope of this post. I suggest you search the forums for instructions.

The last error with phoenix is due to the permissions not being set properly. there's several posts on this thread that explains how to get around this. In short run the command like this

Code:

Congrats for the distro, already tested for about 48hs on dual 6990's on a DFI Lanparty UT NF4 SLI-D and a 1200w TR2 RX, and it's rock solid

Good isht !! So it looks like the newer cards are loving LinuxCoin Cheesy

heh I have that same board! unfortunately my 5970 actually melted the plastic part of the chipset fan today

Have you not set your fan speed ?? !! That sounds like your running way to hot !!

Code:

aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 85" --adapter=adapternumber

I've been thoroughly beating my head against the wall about how to make this installation have persistent storage.

I'm trying to follow the instructions from http://www.infosecramblings.com/backtrack/backtrack-4-usbpersistent-changesnessus/#partition

I'm using a second Ubuntu 10.x system to set up the USB drive.

I can partition and format the USB drive OK, set up the two partitions. When I do the rsync to install linuxcoin I get some errors. After I use grub, the menu.lst file that's referred to doesn't exist (although there are some other .lst files there, but none that seem to resemble the instructions from that page). When I try to boot the USB drive, after POST, the system BIOS says "This is not a bootable disk. Please insert a bootable floppy..."

Has anyone gone through all this?

Follow my guide ...

Hi,
I've been playing around with LinuxCoin and think it's very cool. One thing I can't figure out is how to install atioverdrvctl. It gives me dependancies error. Could you maybe post few commands that I can use to install it, or is it more complicated than that and I'll have to wait for v0.2?

Code:

apt-get -f upgrade

Should get you going but 0.2a is very close Wink
