i got 1400 HW errors in 7 hours of mining, is that ok ?
Seems high, but I don't know your setup or how your binary of BFGMiner was built.

Thanks for adding the Raring ppa! I got it downloaded once I got libudev0 installed. In case anyone else runs into it(libudev0 is missing in ubuntu 13.04), download from the web, install it(right click and add to software center), then you can install bfgminer(also from the software center!)

My next question is: Do I need to install the intel SDK again for opencl or is it handled in the ppa?

i get tons of HW on my 5 ztex boards  Huh
New with version 3.0.2? What version did you not have them with?
im running 3.0.2
That doesn't answer my question at all. What version did not have the "tons" of hw errors?
oh, its first time im testing it out .. so ..
Can you elaborate a bit more on what you consider "tons" of hw errors?
ZTEX (and most FPGAs) are designed to have some amount of hw errors (usually 1-2%, at difficulty 1) in normal operation.

n_p....your trying to cpu mine litecoin...... HuhHuh

Baby steps. Smiley First I get cpu mining working, then I get gpu mining working with my (non-opitmal) nvidia card, then I get better equipment.

I was pretty sure default build for bfgminer has no cpu mining support, you'd have to recompile it....could be wrong, but cpu mining isnt done much these days

It is enabled by default in Gentoo. Smiley

Code:
$ grep IUSE /usr/portage/local/layman/bitcoin/net-misc/bfgminer/bfgminer-3.0.1.ebuild
IUSE="+adl altivec avalon bitforce +cpumining examples hardened icarus modminer ncurses +opencl padlock scrypt sse2 sse2_4way sse4 +udev x6500 ztex"

Yes, that's correct; cpumining is disabled by default. You'd have to pass --enable-cpumining to ./configure before make`ing your own build.

Sorry, I don't understand what is going on (I just escaped from the newbies section), but I know this is not good (all of my shares are getting rejected):

This is my first attempt at mining, and I can see I am not going to do well at this rate. Smiley Do you have any idea what is happening? Thank you in advance for your help.

Might as well add this here (a slightly different error):

he's getting 600-1500 HW

bfgminer was compiled on his system, in msys shell (I did this for him Cheesy)
He's only tried std ztex miner before bfgminer....

tbh, I wasnt worried about the hw figures, considering the boards keep overclocking to 224mhz then back to 212

Think the issue is cos one board is always slightly higher HW, but I have a feeling this is actually bad thermal paste under the fan tbh

I have no screen on my mac, homebrow seam complex to install, I have 10.6, then I need curl...
Just provide simple package is very more simple for me.
It's not that simple or binaries would already be available. You need the right libraries as well, which is why Homebrew or an installer are necessary. I think, either way, you're going to have a hard time getting it going on 10.6. There's a Mac app and installer in beta here, but it requires 10.8.

Macs can easily build from the source, assuming you have the developer tools installed. (I don't think they come with gcc etc. installed by default.)
