Re: Super Tutorial Raspberry Pi+Raspbian+CGMiner+TightVNC+WIFI at boot
Great tutorial. Thanks for putting it together 
- The last step is to autostart CGMiner every time we turn on the Raspberry Pi:
-We need to edit autostart with this command: sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
-At the end add the line: @/usr/bin/lxterminal --geometry=90x35 -e cgminer (The parameter "geometry" is to set the size of CGMiner, so adjust the parameter to your needs)
-Reboot using: sudo reboot
Everything went smooth until this bit. When I reboot, cgminer won't start automatically. I'm using cgminer 3.1.1 with Erupter USBs. Might the older cgminer be why it doesn't work?
Anyway, I wrote this script with nano, called it auto_cgminer, and saved it in my 'code' folder,
then entered
@/usr/bin/lxterminal --geometry=90x35 -e code/auto_cgminer
in stead of
@/usr/bin/lxterminal --geometry=90x35 -e cgminer
into the /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart file. Now it gets mining straight away to config file specs on startup.
Now here I got stuck:
I installed TightVNC onto my Ubuntu 11.10 computer, just as I had done as instructed here for the Pi. Then I don't know how to start it up so that I can do the second step, "Write your Raspberry Pi IP". Entering tightvnc or tightvncserver into terminal don't give me an option to enter the Pi's IP... What did I miss?

Now here I got stuck:
11- Install TightVNC on your computer
- Write your Raspberry Pi IP
- Will ask for the password of TightVNC
- If everything is ok, you will see the Raspberry Pi desktop and CGMiner open waiting for the server details.
- Write the URL
- Write the username
- Write the password
- Now will start to mine, but we need to save the configuration file:
- "S" to go to settings
- "W" to write the config file
- "Enter" to save the default "bfgminer.conf"
- "Space" to clean the screen
- Write your Raspberry Pi IP
- Will ask for the password of TightVNC
- If everything is ok, you will see the Raspberry Pi desktop and CGMiner open waiting for the server details.
