Ok, well, I did some testing. It seems the Natty archives are not up to date.

Anyone with a 6xxx card will have problems with this guide. I'm looking for a fix, but as of yet I haven't found it.

Did you set your display env variable?

Code:

echo export DISPLAY=:0 >> .bashrc
source .bashrc

Yes.

For sure miner can't be run in this state because there is no gpus in his device list. Only cpu is shown.

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.

I can't start the miner.

Just getting non-stop

Driver is installed correctly ... I think

Also, if you're running the miner as root, run the miner as a non-privileged user and see if the error persists. There's no need to be root for it.

I just recently started getting that error as well, but it doesn't seem to affect anything. I will investigate further as to why it's showing up, but you can ignore it for now.

I confirm this error too on Xubuntu 11.04 AMD64

Is it preventing you from mining?

Code:

export ATISTREAMSDKROOT=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64

and

Code:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/lib/x86_64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

set these yet?

Who is this directed at?

I just followed these steps verbatim, but I get an error trying to run poclbm:

Did you configure pyopencl with explicit directions to find the AMD APP SDK? I tried initially leaving off the explicit --cl-inc-dir and --cl-lib-dir and I got the same error you had. This fixed it:

Code:

./configure.py --cl-inc-dir=/path/to/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/include --cl-lib-dir=/path/to/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/lib/x86

On ArchLinux (yes, this OS is better, just look how simple it is !) :

1. Install catalyst and amdstream from the AUR.
2. Install python2-pyopencl from the official packages and python2-jsonrpc-svn from the AUR.
3. Run your miner.

And Ubuntu is supposed to be noob-friendly ? I can't believe it ! Never mind the fact that the "Ubuntu-way" is a real pain to keep updated too.

Yeah, but try to get bitcoin (graphical) to run.... https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39313&comments=all

From here on out, the steps should be conducted either in a terminal window or an SSH session.

Code:

2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install fglrx

11. echo export DISPLAY=:0 >> .bashrc
12. echo export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/lib/x86_64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH >> .bashrc

14. wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pyopencl/pyopencl-0.92.tar.gz
15. svn checkout http://svn.json-rpc.org/trunk/python-jsonrpc
16. svn checkout http://svn3.xp-dev.com/svn/phoenix-miner/trunk
17. git clone git://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm poclbm
18. mv trunk phoenix
19. tar zxfv pyopencl-0.92.tar.gz
20. cd pyopencl-0.92

This problem is almost always related to the fact that the /opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/lib/x86_64 environment variable isn't set.

What does this command return:

echo $PATH

Also, make sure you've done steps 11 - 13 properly, as that's where it gets set.

As per the ATI documentation. The miner will run fine without it but later upgrades, builds, etc may need this variable.

Also, I have a recollection that "python-jsonrpc" is no longer necessary to be installed ... but icbw.

I will add that additional env var if it ever becomes necessary. No sense in setting it if it's not used at the moment.

I'll also check into the python-jsonrpc thing and see if that's the case and remove it if so. Thanks for the tips!

I think you may need a step after 12.

Code:

12a. echo export ATISTREAMSDKROOT=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64 >> .bashrc

I tried 2.4 and got about 10% less performance out of 2.4, so I went back to 2.1. The difference you are probably seeing in the guide is the difference between the modern miner and the one the guide was put together with. Your extra hashes are about what you'd see with the BF_INT performance enhancement introduced into the miners recently.

Great guide. I just went through all this on my own yesterday before you posted this. Cheesy

The only major difference with my process for 11.04 (besides running 32-bit) is that I did use the 2.4 AMD ATI SDK, and have seen 5-10% better performance than that shown for my card with the 2.1 SDK on the https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison page. I get 83 Mhash/s, not 78 Mhash/s as shown on the wiki for the ATI 4870.

Otherwise, these steps are more or less exactly what I followed!
