Ok a lot to reply to lol !!
Today I installed the pre-final. During installation I followed this instructions:
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7374.msg286940#msg286940First it seemed that everything was fine, but there where some little things I am wondering about.
Sometimes when linuxcoin is starting, it is asking me for a password, which I can bypass, by pressing enter. Because I normally do not have a keyboard attached to this machine, it would be better, if this would not happen. Does anyone know how I can stop this screen from appearing?
If I try to shutdown the computer by using the red button in the right bottom corner, I always ending up in a black screen with a blinking white cursor on the upper left. Because I would sometimes shutdon the computer remote, I need to know why this is happening and how I can stop this.
The third is more a question:
can anyone tell me, how can I make the "Remote Desktop" autostarting with correct settings?
The Idea behind all of the above is, to control the machine completely remotly, but the actual behavior makes it impossible for me, to shutdown or restart the machine without having a hand on it.
Thank you for your help. ;-)
All these bugs have been fixed in the final version. I'll update the repository today bud. Stand by for more info.
Mounting live-rw from within non-persistent boot of 0.2-prefinal didn't work, seems to be write protected. I did the update, upgrade from within 0.2-prefinal persistent. I think I'll just re-image the 0.2-prefinal and start over. Maybe boot into non-persistent before updating, upgrading?
Sorry bud this was my fault. i should of named the kernel something else so apt-get doesn't get confused and install the debian kernel over the top of linuxcoins. If you have anything you want to keep on there contact me via PM and I'll send you my skype address and talk you though recovery.
What needs to be done to run LinuxCoin on a non ATI graphics card ( don't need to mine ) but would be nice to make it easier to configure things and run a bitcoin client from going to use it to pxe my mining rigs from and run SmartCoin once it is fully multi rig compatible
--Enzo
LinuxCoin will work on nearly every GC you can think of. Its not just for mining hence the security beef up and things. It has most drivers and for everything else there's vesa.

I have been frustrated at my attempts to make it work with nvidia or cpu with both guiminer and bitminter.com. I know they suck but wanted to be able to at least demo something to those without good gear.
cpumining works fine on phoenix / poclbm / cgminer try one of them. Alo the latest kernel has been patched for lightning speed CPU mining

Hmm, trying to use Linuxcoin, but having a problem
Followed the guide
here to the letter.
When I reboot, it looks like it's going to start up, but then shuts down AMDOverdriveCtrl windows and nothing happens.
I tried to run the startminers.sh solo, and I get this, whether I type sudo or not:
root@linuxcoin:/usr/local/bin# sudo startminers.sh

Help?
Here's a script that will work.

#lets go
cd /opt/miners/phoenix/

python ./phoenix.py -u http://$USERNAME:$PASSWORD@$URL:$PASSWORD -k phatk \

done
PS guys linuxcoin final will come shipped with catalyst 11.7

sounds like a good idea right ?
