Topic: Please help - Trying to get BitCoin going in Ubuntu - page 2. (Read 1731 times)
Okay connected to the Internet on my new mining PC, opened a terminal window and got the first 8 or so steps in. I've never done anything like this before.
Here is an excellent guide to get it going: http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=7514.0 The eclipsemc pool is where I do my mining, so this works perfectly. I ran into a few issues after doing that tutorial, but I got it figured out with the help of Inaba, so I should be able to help you with them too. Just follow that guide to install Phoenix and poclbm and let me know when you're done.
Thank you guys, I REALLY appreciate the help. Looks like if the fee for transfer BTC is my net wealth I can't pay 
I'm inifinitely intrigued by this community and hope to be a thriving member who can soon help others without a ghost of a chance - like me now lol.
I'm going to move my PC to another room and get it online with eithernet. Please explain and I'll be ready to do it in a sec.

I just did the same thing 3 days ago using Ubuntu 11.04 and 2 5850s. I can help you out, but like someone already mentioned, you will need an internet connection to mine and setting up phoenix and poclbm will be sooo much easier with internet access.
I had a computer shop build me a cheap $600 build around a ATI 5830 and just installed Ubuntu via USB, this computer does not have internet so everything is going on through USB.
If someone can be there as a sounding board for my issues I'd really appreciate it and I''ll give everything I have generated in Bitcoinplus.com over the last week. BTC0.01.

1) you will need internet. How else are you going to connect to the pool servers?
2) This may come as a surprise. That BTC0.01 in bitcoinplus.com; you can't withdraw it because there's a BTC0,01 fees to withdraw.
I can help, but all you really need to do is read some guides that you can find on Google.

I put the file bitcoin-0.3.23-linux.tar.gz onto the USB, and see it in ubuntu when I plug it in. What are the next steps to take? Double clicking and Extracting are not getting it running. Is it because I'm using the Natty version of Ubuntu and they aren't compatible?
