I gave this a try on my ubuntu with 5770 card and it won't go beyond
"Kernel darkcoin is experimental"
It just stops there

Can I help with more info? let me know

During the first execution it compiles the OpenCL kernel, it may take a while. If CPU usage is high during this time, everything is OK and it shall run after a minute or so (depends on how fast your CPU is). If not, try upgrading drivers, I use version 13.12.
