CudaMiner

After trying many different ways out last night I managed to get CudaMiner to start mining me some Ultracoin Cheesy I grabbed a fresh Ubuntu 12.04, installed Cuda 5.5, cloned CudaMiner from Git (and this was crucial as Ultracoin settings were added in the code only yesterday! https://github.com/cbuchner1/CudaMiner/commit/ec3f4d3acbcb70b17049a1d9d8d4dc3b936c220d) hassled around with the settings a bit and it was working smoothly!

These are my steps:

wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1204/x86_64/cuda-repo-ubuntu1204_5.5-0_amd64.deb
apt-get install gcc git rsync libghc-curl-dev automake
dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1204_5.5-0_amd64.deb
apt-get update
apt-get install cuda
export PATH="/usr/local/cuda-5.5/bin:$PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/cuda-5.5/lib64:/usr/local/cuda-5.5/lib"
git clone https://github.com/cbuchner1/CudaMiner
cd CudaMiner
./autogen.sh
./configure
PATH=/usr/local/cuda-5.5/bin:$PATH make

Then run:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-5.5/lib64 ./cudaminer --algo=scrypt-jane:UltraCoin -o [pool-info] -O username:password -q -l 70x4 -H 2 -C 1 -S &
tail -f /var/log/syslog #miner output is logged to syslog

-l was set to 70x4, haven't been finetuning that one yet but it was one of few that actually worked. Any advise is more than welcome!
-H is set to 2 as 0 or 1 would result in 1/3 hash rate compared to 2

At the time I was done last night the eyes closed automatically so I haven't had any time for fine-tuning (or doing something about the library paths for that matter).
