What method did you use to create the persistence?  Did you use Unetbootin to create persistence, or did you put one of the pre-configured persistence files onto your USB drive?  I'm not sure if Unetbootin's method of creating persistence works. 

Check out the wiki if you haven't.  It explains a method to create persistence that has worked for me multiple times.

I finally got the hardware together to put together another miner.

I've installed Linuxcoin to a USB, but when I boot, a welcome screen appears wanting login credentials.
I have tried user: user, pass: live and user: root, pass but neither will get me in.

This is on a freshly downloaded and installed Linuxcoin 0.2-final


Is there something I'm doing wrong?

thanks

EDIT:
Nevermind, did a reboot, and this time it went straight to the desktop.  Strange

Thanks gnar1ta$ for the suggestion - it worked!  Now I'm experiencing another problem: OpenCL won't recognize my GPUs; only the CPU shows up when I run clinfo.  I have agreed to the icd license and even downloaded and extracted the icd-registration file again just in case, but it made no difference.  Would reinstalling the SDK help?

(I have posted a similar question on the Smartcoin thread but it seems more appropriate here; sorry for the seeming double-post.)

I had the same issue with 0.2 final and it turned out to be the formatting tool I used to wipe the USB.  Seems to like windows format tool better than others for some reason.  Used the patched unetbootin to load the persistent ISO after that.  Might be worth trying.

I can't get LinuxCoin to boot on my machine -- only a blinking white cursor on a black screen is displayed.  I suspect this is a display problem rather than a LinuxCoin-specific problem.  Is there a relatively simple way to resolve this, without having to boot into recovery mode or the GRUB menu (the recommended solutions for display problems)?

If there is a way to set up LinuxCoin through SSH and avoid the whole display issue entirely, I'd be more than happy to do it that way.  So far I haven't come across any guides for that.

Thanks for your help.

Hey guys,

I just updated to final.  the start mining command wont even work and Gui miner only recognizes one card.  If I try other cards it spikes the cpu.

I'm sure this has been answered here.  I've accepted the license. So thats not it.  I tried wading through the posts but there's alot of gibberish there.

Thanks
Mike

Edit: I dont mean gibberish in a bad way.

Couldnt get to work rtl8185-based wifi PCI-card with ASUS A8N32SLI mobo when i use two or three PCI-e Radeons in it. Could see wifi networks in NetworkManager, but couldnt connect to any.

Ok guys had a little think about things and I've decided to carry on my work with linuxcoin. But there are going to be some changes. I will be releasing linuxcoin for free to the general public, but support will not be free. You will be able to buy support for linuxcoin with bitcoins. I'm planning of having three levels of support.

bronze = bugfixing, general support, live support.
silver = bronze + offline storage, personal support & remote desktop support.
gold = silver + access to VPS for secure browsing, Corsair USB 2.0 Flash Padlock 2 16GB 256-bit AES Hardware Encrypted USB Flash Drive with linuxcoin preinstalled.

Everythings a bit ruff ATM but this is the way it's going to have to be as I find myself working 1000's of hours for free. If you are enjoying linuxcoin for free please consider making a donation to keep this project alive.

LinuxCoin 1.0 is just about complete. It has a shinny new kernel and features that will blow your mind Like ;

A very sexy new bootsplash
Compressed persistent space
PnP cluster mining with persistent booting
Turbo boot (Now boots into your OS in around 3 to 5 seconds)
Sandboxed HTTPD server for extra security while running munin.
32bit version

I have really put some work into this version and I'm not going to rush this and get it wrong So expect nothing soon

Trying to get bitHopper to work on Linixcoin 0.2-final, but I can't get the base upgraded. BitHopper requires Python 2.7+ with setuptools and greenlet. After some fiddling I managed to get the python2.7 package installed and I renamed the python binary in /usr/bin to python-old and the new python2.7 to python. After this, it appears that setuptools installs as well, but it install 0.6.16. Then when I try to proceed to install greenlet, it fails, complaining that it needs distribution 0.6.19 (I'm assuming this is the setuptools). Ideas on fixing this one, anyone? Thanks.

You are using the latest version of Linuxcoin?

I'm having trouble with persistence. Having followed the headless persistent install instructions the os boots up and runs after I've written all the startup scripts and changed passwd etc. however none of the settings or files is recorded over a reboot. Here is the output of mount:
 
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,size=5242880,mode=755,size=5242880,mode=755)

This suggests that the os is mounted on a ram drive. I have live-rw on the drive as per the instructions. Any help would be much appreciated.

I did update cgminer to 1.5.8, and built it from the git source. It finds the opencl files but it then bombs out. I'll try disecting the Ubuntu Binary next.

Did as you said at it worked fine, thanks mate.

You will have to set a root password if you need. Most root things you can do using the "Root Terminal" instead of the "LXTerminal". Using the "Root Terminal" you can act as root but does not need to enter a password. To change the root PW enter "passwd" in the "Root Terminal" and enter your new PW twice.

There is no password, but to correct this it's simple enough:

I cannotn seem to do things as root. Whenever I am asked to enter authentication as root, I press enter, bacause there is no password set correct?

Did you update cgminer? I used the files from the Ubuntu binary archive file. Do a wget http:... and then untar the files and move cgminer and the .cl files to /usr/bin.

I'm receiving consistent segmentation faults with CGMiner, and GUIminer can't connect. I have to be doing something wrong. I am using Final installed to a HD with all the bugfixes and I think I've killed 6 hours hammering away at this problem to avoid having to load another instance of Windows 7.

For those who need another keyboard setting, type:


Then select your keyboard and on the next page select "Other" for other language then the US.

@ drgr33n

Can you add this to your wiki Setup (http://www.linuxcoin.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Category:Setup) I couldn't find a way to do it at my own.

I know, thats why im questioning why GUIMiner is looking for it there. But when I point it to phoenix.py, it just says "Connecting.." when my windows machine connects right away.
