I can't get smartcoin to run the miners. on the localhost page all the miners say idle and occasionally a bunch of "aticonfig: no supported adapters are found" messages scroll by. on the log page i try to manually run the phoenix command but it gives me a kernel not found error.
when i run aticonfig manually it works but only when i sudo it.
i normally use cgminer and that works with my cards just fine.
AMDOverdrive also detects the cards fine.
any ideas jondecker?
What linux distro are you running under? What install guide did you use?
You can run smartcoin as root, but that means you will also need to run the installer as root to set things up
I'm running linuxcoin final. i uninstalled the the one that came with it cuz it was outdated and then installed it from the svn. i used the instructions on the wiki.
yeah running as root gives me a bunch of not found errors.
Smartcoin has to run as root on top of Linuxcoin, as everything else is installed as root on linuxcoin. You get not found errors because smartcoin has not yet been set up as root (Under linux, applications use hidden folders under the current user's path. Since 'root' is a valid linux user, that means /root/.smartcoin must exist for it to run as root. You can accomplish this by either
A) Re-running the installer as root (I.e. sudo smartcoin_install.sh)
or
B) copying the ~/.smartcoin directory from your user home to /root/.smartcoin
and of course, in this case after you have the hidden directory sorted, you'll want to run smartcoin as root (I.e. sudo smartcoin).
Also, if LinuxCoin ships with an out-of-date smartcoin, you can just cd to the smartcoin directory (i think on LinuxCoin its /opt/miners/smartcoin), then run an 'svn update' before running the installer (as root of course).
I know its all a bit confusing, but this is the norm and compliant with Linux standards.
