Ya i also tried to get ubunto 13.1 running but i get compiling errors and then the system don't fully work. i be trying it again today. i would even pay .1 btc for a good guide for a fresh install. the one i found in the other main gridseed discussion thread worked ok until i had compiling errors and did not know what to do.

Install Ubuntu Server 12.04.4 LTS: ubuntu-12.04.4-server-amd64.iso

Update Ubuntu and install git

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install git

Install dependencies, compile then run dtbartle cgminer

Code:

cd ~
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake pkg-config libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev
sudo git clone git://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355.git
cd cgminer-gc3355
sudo CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall" ./configure --enable-scrypt --enable-gridseed
sudo make

sudo ./cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://xpool.net:8820 -u x -p x --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=850,chips=5 --hotplug 0

That is all! Seems so simple but it took a lot of effort to get here.

Useful options

Code:

sudo apt-get install openssh-server #if not installed during setup
sudo apt-get install screen #to run cgminer in the background

That made it nice and easy to get running thanks. on ubunto 13.1.0 it worked.
