ps. could this have anything to do with it?

Code:

E: Unable to locate package libboost-all-dev

I experienced that same error and the reason is that the default ubuntu livecd hasn't enabled universe package sources.
Open your system preferences, select update manager, select settings, select the first tab and you can enable universe there.

When executing this

Code:

sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all

have this back

Code:

sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all
Uninitialised file found, configuring.
Fail to link to fglrx-libglx.so, please check whether driver is installed correctly
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saving back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-1

don't know how to fix this, can someone help me?, have 2x6990's in a non crossfire motherboard, but already achieved in windows to got it working (3 cores bug)

You can ignore that error. The files it is trying to link aren't needed.

I'm getting hung up on step 25: make -j3

if someone could give me a hand I'd appreciate it, trying to make something that works better until/if linuxcoin gets fixed

this is the error I get

Code:

Code:

9. screen -d -m -S stream wget http://download2-developer.amd.com/amd/Stream20GA/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64.tgz9. sudo tar xvfz ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64.tgz -C /opt

whoops! I think I see a mistake.

Code:

9. screen -d -m -S stream wget http://download2-developer.amd.com/amd/Stream20GA/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64.tgz
9a(or something). sudo tar xvfz ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64.tgz -C /opt

Is this what you mean?

oh, you did it again here

Code:

28. chmod +x phoenix/phoenix.py poclbm/poclbm.py5. sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all

do this instead

Code:

28. chmod +x phoenix/phoenix.py poclbm/poclbm.py
28a. sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all

just making sure the noobs don't get confused.

edit: oh wait you got it ! Cheesy

I updated the guide to a more streamlined version the install. It's still based around v2.1... I don't really have any 6xxx cards to test out the 2.4 SDK.

I just got this working with SDK 2.4, haven't optimized or overclocked yet. Getting Modest #'s.

5970's are at 305 and 5850's are at 260-ish.

How did you get SDK 2.4 to work? I am getting the same error message as you were and I haven't figured out how to fix it yet.

After using SDK 2.3 instead of 2.1 everything works and I'm now a happy miner with ~155Mhash/s.

Just finished following this guide to the best of my ability, using SDK 2.4 instead of 2.3.

I got this error upon trying to run polbcm.py

Code:

bitcoin@bitcoin:~/poclbm$ ./poclbm.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./poclbm.py", line 27, in 
    platforms = cl.get_platforms()
pyopencl.LogicError: clGetPlatformIDs failed: invalid/unknown error code

Any help?

Btw, instead of exporting your library path, it's probably better to add the config file for those paths to /etc/ld.so.conf.d, then they are applied globally to all accounts.

How does one do this?

Why doesn't someone compile a custom Ubuntu Bitcoin Mining package with all steps (or most steps at least) already done?

I'm sure many people would be happy, and tip the person that makes the package.

Tip away: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/linuxcoin-a-lightweight-debian-based-os-with-everything-ready-to-go-7374

There are so many things wrong with that distro as to be practically unusable. It's a good start but it's not anywhere near ready for "production."

It actually takes longer and is harder to setup than a fresh manual Ubuntu install.

Wow, I feel like a n00b. I followed your guide to a T, but ATI Stream SDK 2.1 does not support the 6990. I changed that to SDK 2.3 and now everything's working fine. :-)

I followed your guide in a clean install of Ubuntu 32-bit, using the 32-bit ATI Stream SDK instead of the 64-bit, but Poclbm won't show either of my 6690s. Aticonfig shows them, so I know they're there and hooked up correctly. Any hints?

Thanks. :-)

You should now have a fully functional Ubuntu 11.04 mining rig with Phoenix and poclbm installed.

Thanks for that. Looks like I got everything installed. Just now realizing why you didn't include Bitcoin in the guide - it's not necessary for mining in a pool (RPC).

Is there any way to test my GPU hash rate without a pool? I installed Bitcoin using the guide here: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6299.40 and I created the bitcoin.conf file but I cannot get solo GPU mining to work. Just want to test out these GPUs.
