Hello all,

I have ordered my first gridseed from GAWminers, and have followed the guide to download cgminer for Ubuntu from this post. I believe I have succussfully downloaded it as I was able to get it to start up at the end, but obviously it says no USB device detected.

I have been mining with 3 r7 265's for the past month, but before that had no experiece in linux or computer building. I built my first computer and with some help was able to get my cards mining. I use sgminer and get it started by cd ~/ and then ./mine.sh.

I was wondering if there was a way to start cgminer like that, as I think the only way I was able to get it running was by calling cd ~/ then ./cgminer/cgminer -o xxxxx and all the information for gridseed after. I was wondering if there was a way to start the gridseed mining by calling on a .sh file like I do for my gpus. I am hoping someone doesn't mind answering my elementary question. I want to be prepared to have the gridseed up and running right when it gets here and not have any software issues. Will the gridseed work by running cd ~/ then ./cgminer/cgminer -o stratum+tcp://server:port -u username.worker -p password  --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=888,chips=5 --hotplug 30? It currently starts to look for a pool when I type that in now and feel like it should work once the gridseed is hooked up, and is there any easier way to get it running other than how I stated.

I also plan to just open cgminer in a second terminal, as my gpu's currently run on sgminer. Will this cause any problems?

Thanks!
