Ok downloaded the new final and switched over 2 of my miners from the old betas of linuxcoin.
(did a full format of usb and full reinstall of new linuxcoin)
First few things I noticed ...

I still cannot save to the desktop even after doing
apt-get update
apt-get install linuxcoin-bugfix-020811 smartcoin bitcoin

then did a full reboot

I thought that was one of the bugfixes that was fixed...

specifically what i did was save my miner info to a file and gmail it to myself ... opened gmail and downloaded the file and could not save it to the desktop.

Noticed hashkill is still just a tar file under miners.  If i want to try it i need to uncompress it, but when i tried to using any programs listed (in file manager) it would not do anything.  Probably a rights issue ...

Other then that currently working ok ... when i rebooted the first time i got a error that flashed quickly by saying do a restart -t or something similar ...
went by very fast then rebooted
 have not rebooted again on that machine and it is happily mining so i dont want to mess with it but thought i should mention it.

thanks for all your hard work on this release ..

There are fixes for the permissions error for the Desktop folder. Sorry it slipped my radar Wink Just open up a terminal and type

Code:
sudo chmod 777 /home/user/Desktop

Hashkill has been precompiled and installed on the system. Just open up a terminal and type

Code:
hashkill

I left the source files there for anyone that wanted to recompile with custom CFLAGS etc.

Just tried the final version i got this error when i used Phoenix manually (either default kernel or phatk)

Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./phoenix.py", line 123, in
    miner.start(options)
  File "/opt/miners/phoenix/Miner.py", line 77, in start
    self.kernel = self.options.makeKernel(KernelInterface(self))
  File "./phoenix.py", line 112, in makeKernel
    self.kernel = kernelModule.MiningKernel(requester)
  File "kernels/poclbm/__init__.py", line 132, in __init__
    platforms = cl.get_platforms()
pyopencl.LogicError: clGetPlatformIDs failed: platform not found khr

What does it mean?

Thnks


ps. This is my phoenix command which worked fine with the previous version of Linuxcoin:
Code:
./phoenix.py -u http://yanz_1:pass@uswest.btcguild.com:8332/ -q 7 -k phatk BFI_INT VECTORS FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=11 DEVICE=0 WORKSIZE=256

It means you have not accepted the license or your running from the user account. if you look in system there's an icon called accept license. Click it and try again Wink
