      Hi
      I have a couple of rigs i need to set up for working 100% during my vacation.

      i now run Xubuntu on them and use CGMINER.
      Also followed this guide for setup: http://www.cryptobadger.com/2013/04/build-a-litecoin-mining-rig-linux/

      1. i do not get it to autorun the cgminer startup file when reboot, i think its because i need to input sudo password when running cgminer.
      Since i tried running the app from the application startup launcher program in desktop, still nothing happens when starting up…

      2. deactivate the need to choose startup things when something crashes…

          Figured out the boot up screen.
          Now just for the autolaunch of cgminer, fixed it so i dont need sudo any more.
          But still it will not autostart when i add the cgminer_launcher to the session/startup manager

            FFS now im getting tired of Xubuntu, thought i had fixed things but apparantly not…
            Now the boot screen is black, and its random if im able to boot into xubuntu at all…

            black screen forever, need to ssh into the server and run cgminer manually, THEN the screen comes on…

            Will just cross my fingers and hope that all the rigs will live for an week without a hitch…
            And try an other linux version out there.

            What do people recommend/use?

                Are there any pure command line options out there?

                  Hey Sven,

                  Sorry, been offline for a while, I’ll try to help out.

                  1st, did you try my suggestion in the other thread? Did it make any difference?

                  2nd, on the startup question, you need to do 2 things. First, in your sudoers file you need to allow the cgminer command to run without a password.
                  [code]sudo vi /etc/sudoers[/code]
                  add line like this
                  [code]<> ALL=NOPASSWD:<>[/code]
                  You can also use nano instead of vi if you prefer.
                  This will allow you to run cgminer using sudo without having to enter a password.

                  Then you need to script cgminer to run on reboot, for this I’d suggest creating a wrapper script in Bash and running this script from cron using the @reboot switch. Let me know if you need specific pointers on this.

                  I prefer to run Ubuntu Server Edition completely headless, but getting OpenCL to install without a GUI can be a complete pain in the **se.

                  Let me know if you need any more help on this.

                  Stefan

                    From what I understand you need to have an active xsession running to run the miner… As far as when I set everything up initially, I installed the driver, amd_sdk and all of the dependencies as root, but as far as setting up the actual miner from source, I did that as a regular user. So I can run the miner as a normal user…

                      1. i didnt test that one beacuse i tough i had figured it out. but after a long while it came back…
                      Im out of time for now, will set up all the rigs from scratch again when i come home. because xubuntu is not stable (hangs on reboot (shutdown part), a gamle if im able to start computer and get to gui…).

                      how much of a pain is it to get opencl to run without gui?
                      Really love the idea of headless rig=)

                      Thanks for your help soo far. transfered 200ftc to your account=)
