Yes, but you can edit /live/image/syslinux.cfg and move the persistent option to the top of the list (or just delete everything apart from the persistent one).

PS - Thank you for the BTC.

If you get to the command prompt and type, you should see:or something similar. Providing /dev/sda2 is mounted on /live/cow and not /media/somethingorother, you should be absolutely good to go.

Cheers,

Niccy.

So /dev/sda2 was probably already formatted and has been automatically mounted...

Open up a terminal window and su to root:Then check where it's currently mounted:You should see /dev/sda2 mounted under /media/somethingorother. Unmount it:(obviously replacing as appropriate). Then format the partition:Then reboot into persistent mode (don't just type 'reboot', that won't do it - you'll probably need to power-cycle the box). Et voila, it should all be there!!

Hi all,

Using Linuxcoin on five boxes at the mo and think it's great.

Installed on 2GB USB sticks with 1GB for the image and 1GB as persistent storage.

I have worked out how to start AMDOverdriveCtrl (to load the correct fan profile) and the miners automatically on boot, but cannot work out how to get the initial boot to default to starting with persistent storage - consequently every reboot requires manual intervention.

Is there an easy way to set the default boot option to be the "Linuxcoin (persistent)" one?

I have looked through the boot menu structure (seemingly at /isolinux/live.cfg on the ISO) and it would seem to indicate that the default is to boot the persistent version....however, this is not what I am seeing - after it boots the default option, /dev/sda2 is mounted on /media/live-rw rather than /live/cow (which is where it's mounted if I explicitly select the persistent option) and tmpfs is mounted on /live/cow.

Anybody any ideas?

Cheers and thank you,

Niccy.

Hi all,

I don't suppose anybody is actually going to read this, but...

Currently mining with 4x 6990's and 2x 5850s using Linuxcoin and it's working a treat.

Next job is to install the pool proxy as I keep suffering from pool downtime :-(

Niccy.

Me too, +1 etc.

Likewise, I'm on 0.3.22-beta and have come across the 'You must pay a transaction fee' message for the first time.

Whilst I have no objection to paying an appropriate transaction fee, at the current exchange rate, BTC0.01 is USD0.30 which seems an excessive amount in absolute terms (even as 0.5% of the amount I was sending it seems like a large amount anyway).

I appreciate that the current software is a reference client, however, it does confuse the matter by the wording it uses...

"Optional transaction fee per KB ... Most transactions are 1KB ... 0.01 recommended."

Should, perhaps, better be worded:

"Mandatory transaction fee per KB for some transactions ... There's no way of telling in advance which transactions require the fee and we're not going to tell you how big your transaction is ... At least 0.01 required"

In addition, the error dialogue box shows the message:

"Error: This transaction requires a transaction fee of at least 0.01 because of its amount, complexity or use of recently received funds."

Well, which is it?

If it's the recently received funds, how long should I wait? Is it really too difficult to have three messages which either say:

"Error: This transaction requires a transaction fee of at least 0.01 because of its amount.",
"Error: This transaction requires a transaction fee of at least 0.01 because of its complexity.", or
"Error: This transaction requires a transaction fee of at least 0.01 because of its use of recently received funds. Please wait X hours or until Y confirmations have been received."

Note that none of those error conditions tell you the size of the transaction in KB.

Like I said, if a transaction fee is due, then so be it. I'd just like the client to make things clearer to me.

Niccy

And, of course, as soon as I click 'post', the whole thing springs back into life, another BTC0.4 gets added to my Confirmed total and it pays out. Typical.

Hi all,

Good to be here. Nice to see that I just splashed out on five 6990's just before Mt.Gox started taking a tumble. Ho hum.

Anyway, I was just wondering if there's a problem with payouts. My 'Confirmed reward' has been stuck at the same figure for some time (despite having had lots of blocks confirmed) and even though it is over my 'Send threshold', it hasn't been sent.

Anybody else seeing the same?

Niccy.
