You're right, I didn't realize my default account was admin. Now, this option is really good enough for me, but if I put in my admin password and get in there once, that permission will be added to my user account. How can I remove this later?

Yeah but any account can pretty much navigate to /Users/[account] and access all the files.

I've had some bad experiences with Ubuntu so I want to setup my saving account in Windows 7. I was looking at account policy and security and such and what I want to do is setup an account where the content of the home folder is only accessible by that user only (once logged in.) Any help on how to set that up? I figured out folder encryption but I'm not sure how to setup security policy so that folder is only accessible by that account once it's logged in.

I now realize the wallet I've been backing up in Ubuntu wasn't even the right one. Just stored in another user account in Windows and it's the same situation as in Ubuntu. Has anyone had restoring issues with Ubuntu?

Also, I believe I retrieved the wallet from homefolder/.bitcoin is there somewhere else it could have been?

I have two wallets, one in Windows, one in Ubuntu. I recently had to reinstall both operating systems so I backedup the wallets and reinstalled operating systems. Restoring the Windows wallet worked fine, copying my wallet in the .Bitcoin folder in ubuntu didn't really work and it seems to be the new wallet. Is there any trick in restoring the ubuntu wallet?

There's no crossfire setup, temperature is stable at 82 degrees, dummy plugs are also plugged in.

975MHz across the board using Trixx

I have three 5830s and what I'm finding is that the 1st card (gpu0) mines the fastest, the second one about 20 Mhs less, and the third one about 20Mhs less than the second one. Right now they are at 300, 280 and 260.

System:
1000W PSU
Sempron 145
Asus m5a99x evo
4GB ram
Windows 7 + GUI miner using poclbm

Same situation with ubuntu

Turns out my GPU core were overclocked too high. 985Hz caused the crash. Went to 970 and now It's running stable.

I've been mining steadily for a few days now. Today I've been constantly getting a blue screen of death error about an apc_index_mismatch.
The only thing that's different is that my AC is acting up and the cards go to 86 degrees which hadn't happened before. Ideas?

Yup dummy plug did the trick. Windows is f****** retarded.

Tried experimenting in Windows after getting it going in Ubuntu. Installed Win7 Enterprise, all updates, driver package from AMD for my 5830s x2.
The Vision Control Centre or whatever that ATI panel is called says one card is "disabled" under sys info and GUIminer only sees one GPU. Ideas?

I've noticed my miners (poclbm) don't report any changes as temperature swings between 70-85 (AC on or off) but the pool is logging as much as 100Mhashes/s more on average when temperature is below 70 degrees. Does this make sense?

Running 2 5830s in Ubuntu. I get the same degree of desktop slowing with both poclbm and phoenix/phatk. Is this also an issue under Windows? any fixes?

I have SSH server installed on my dedicated ubuntu miner but I'm not completely comfortable leaving it exposed for long periods of time. Is that really an issue? I don't mean physically exposed, rather out on the open internet.

Problem solved! I'd actually messed around in Bios and some power management BS was kicking in.

I was mining away with my dual 5830s yesterday. Turned the computer off at night cause it was too loud. This morning I'm having this strange problem where the first card that gets started up works properly but the second card only mines at 1-2 Mhashes. Any ideas?

Are there any performance/security/etc advantages that would differentiate running Windows or Ubuntu on a dedicated miner?

Thanks for the feedback guys. So no Ubuntu solutions?

I just setup my system with two (soon to be three) Sapphire 5830s but the overclocking tool doesn't let me go past 900MHz core and 1200MHz memory. How do people manage to get past these frequencies?
