It is not recognizing your flash drive.  Or it is saying it is bad.  Try booting without the flash drive... does it go to ubuntu?  If so reinstall the ISO on the drive.  Did you use penlinux?

The ssd is erased. Nothing on there anymore.

I used unetbootin. Thougt it woulnt matter, but will try with penlinux!

As I said in another thread about this a minute ago the problem I ran into with Ubuntu (and debian and mint) is that they didn't support my multi-gpu cards and so I couldn't even get through the install.  I've found Centos to be a solid choice for mining multi-multi-gpu cards.

Yeah i read that, downloading CentOS 6.0 iso atm.
The setup ill try this on is a 6950 x2 and a 6870. If it works i might change the os on the main rig (580x3 & 6870).

That's a strange line in there... almost like the OP stole it right out of another tutorial without crediting the author.

This is where the line that is causing problems came from:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170516.0

following that tutorial from the beginning causes no issues.  All compiles as expected, though it's CentOS not Ubuntu.  The reason I used CentOS is that I was not able to run multiple gpu's under any other flavors of linux.



 Shocked

Yea when the author of the forked version copied mine to adopt it to ubuntu he didn't quite get all the steps.   



* Viceroy looks around and whispers he may be a thief

Didnt even notice that you made it! Creds to you for taking the time to post that guide!

Now i have unfortanly followed the stolen guide and have xubuntu on the machine.
I guess i will just need to secure erase the ssd and restart over and make a bootable usb with the right OS!

Thanks!

Can you "cd /home/RHWN/Downloads" and run "ls" and see the file? Remember that you need to type your commands case-sensitive.

I wrote exit until the terminal closed down, then i tried cd /home/RHWN/downloads but i then get the same msg:
"No such file or directory"

Do i only type in ls after the code? Sorry for my inexperience  Embarrassed

Do i need to write something like sudo -s or cd /opt b4 the cd /home.../downloads ?

The exact line that the problems occur are:
Code:
tar xf /home/miner/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-lnx64.tgz
When i type that line in terminal i get this error:
"Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now"

That command needs to be adapted for your specific scenario. Find the path where you downloaded the file to. For me, it was "/home/crazyates/Downloads/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-lnx64.tgz"
Oh ofc!

Heres the line i think is right for me:
Code:
tar xf /home/RHWN/Downloads/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-lnx64.tgz
But i still get that error, also had a look inside the Download folder and yepp! There it was!

Dont really know what to do.

Im right at this step:
Code:
sudo -s
###################
cd /opt
tar xf /home/miner/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-lnx64.tgz
cd /opt/
./Install-AMD-APP.sh
ldconfig
reboot

The exact line that the problems occur are:
Code:
tar xf /home/miner/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-lnx64.tgz
When i type that line in terminal i get this error:
"Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now"


I have downloaded the APP SDK v2.8 Inx64.tgz and have tried both letting the .tgz be located where it is placed after downloading and it also tried to make a folder named miner in the home location ( /home/miner/ )
I get the same error with both methods, so i would need some help from someone familiar with Linux (Ubuntu 12-04 > XUbuntu).


Would really appreciate if someone could help me out!
Cheers!

Edit:
Read the first post once more and found out the code should be like tar xf /home/RHWN/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-lnx64.tgz
but i still get the same error. Is my homedir "home" if i havent changed it?
So new to linux  Cry

Hello dear members!

I just got a 2nd rig dedicated for mining and i thought using Ubuntu (no experience with Linux what so ever).
I have follow this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=189499.0) and having problems.

Im right at this step:
Code:
sudo -s

What is your username on the Linux machine. You should change "miner" to your login in this line: tar xf /home/miner/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-lnx64.tgz in case your name is not "miner".


Thanks for the post!

Did try this line:
tar xf /home/RHWN/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-lnx64.tgz
Unfortunately i still end up getting the same error as i did with .../miner/...

Should i let the .tgz be where its located in downloads or should i move it somewhere special?

Appreciate the post!

All these URL's go to the same place, they're just proxies. All the shares go to the same place, it is the same actual stratum or LP server.

The preferred IP is going to be minecnc.dontmine.me for both stratum and LP, but it can only survive small DDoS attacks before it gets null routed.

The first proxy service is through lb.izserv.com , how has that worked for people? I haven't been able to use it myself so I don't know (my miner is out of action right now).

The second proxy service is through cloudflare, but its longpoll/http only. It's probably the most reliable alternative, but I'm not sure how well it would stand up to a direct attack. It will also block some IP's automatically, so you might have to go to the http interface in your browser and clear your IP through captcha or something like that.


lb.izserg.com worked a few hours ago. But lost connection and stopped working.
Mining on stratum atm, dont know if backup or not...
Creds to you Paul!
