So the reason behind all my troubles was the flash drive got corrupted and I can only speculate that Ubuntu did it.
So don't get surprised if your flash drive dies.

I think the author should put that as a warning in the original post.

There's always a chance of anything corrupting your flash drive if you use shitty flash drives.  Same goes for hard drives.  Use quality materials and you're less likely to run into problems.

I've been running OS's from flash drives for a couple years now and I have yet to have a single corrupted flash drive.

I'm gpu-mining ok with these advices in Debian testing.

But I have a problem: when I switch to other tty (CTRL-ALT-Fn), mining stops. The process still stands but miner lost connection with gpu.

In this forum I read about starting the miner even with ssh-terminal! But I don't see how... every recipe fails (i.e putting "DISPLAY :0" at the beginning).

Any clues? TIA

Read through this thread, all the clues are in here.  I mean, the clue(s) are even in the guide itself.  Come on, man.
