I am having trouble getting Smartcoin to automatically identify my GPUs. I just set up LinuxCoin on my machine so it is most likely related to that. (Smartcoin had been working beautifully on my HDD before the switch to LinuxCoin.) This is the error message I get when I try to add the GPUs manually from within Smartcoin (hey, it was worth a shot) and then start mining:

Code:

Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
File "/opt/smartcoin/smartcoin_devices.py", line 5, in
devices = p.get_devices(device_type=cl.device_type.GPU)
pyopencl.RuntimeError: clGetDeviceIDs failed: device not found
done.

(The last couple of lines appeared when I tried re-installing Smartcoin.)

Also, I set up a simple profile yesterday and it seems to have disappeared; perhaps it's not saving to the persistence file?

I would appreciate guidance from folks who have got Smartcoin running successfully on LinuxCoin. Thanks!

change background color on desktop reboot to see if persistence is working , if it reverts back then it isnt saving .

Nice simple test, definitely try that. Did you use the patched unetbootin and set "space used to preserve files across reboots"? And are the GPU's listed in aticonfig --lsa? I believe you will also need to be root to install and run smartcoin in Linuxcoin and to do that over ssh look here:

That should solve those issues - though I gave up on getting it to work consistently in 0.2 final. The new version just doesn't seem to be set up for remote use. But Smartcoin works great in Ubuntu.
