EDIT: Regarding Linux distribution, we always use the latest. Never had problems. Are you using a normal computer or some RaspPi or Beaglebone for the Linux Setup?
Tried it on both a regular laptop and a RPi. I suspect the RPi is out of date with the drivers, but the laptop I had fully updated with ubuntu and all of the bfgminer dependencies, so I am not really sure what's up with it.
Dear Morblias,
I just asked people in the lab to create a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and clone the latest Bfgminer, just to be sure everything is work. The test passed successfully.
For your information, the computer in test was 64bit.
Thanks,
Nasser
