Yeah, the sudo setup came in before Con and Kano integrated the Drillbit drivers back into the main branch, so don't know if they fixed it.

Actually running my boards via BFGMiner 3.10.0 right now on Debian on BBB (will switch to Minepeon on BBB when available) where I run it under sudo and address the boards directly via their dev paths rather than scan. They're working fine that way.

I really haven't had a chance to even download MinePeon 0.2.5 yet (I've been pretty busy with work lately), however, I'll try to download it tomorrow night.

People have been reporting that this version has broke several plugins, so... aside from the drillbit devices reportedly not working I need to go through the code and see what got changed so I can update the plugins.

I've got to admit, I wish things would stop changing so drastically, from 0.2.3 to 0.2.4 a lot of changes happened, now from 0.2.4 to 0.2.5 it seems the same way judging by the error messages people have been sending me (I could be wrong as I haven't looked at it yet). Hopefully making the plugin updates backwards compatible with 0.2.4 won't be an annoyance.

@Neil - I couldn't submit the changes to the rules in udev for Drillbit devices as well as other changes I made to make Drillbit devices work within the images I put out, as the system files aren't in the git repo, otherwise I would have submitted those a month+ ago.

Is python something I can easily install from SSH?

I am not in foront of it but;-

pacman -Syu python

Should work.

Hi MineForeman.com

I like the tab headers in MinePeon 0.2.5 pr1   when you log in via Chrome.

I have a headless mini PC running two sessions of BFG, also I have two rPi's running MinePeon.

If I open my Chrome browser for both of these devices on the headless PC, This gives me two tabs showing the rPi activity.


It means I can monitor (and control) both rPi from any device logged into Chrome (using the "other devices" at the bottom of the chrome screen)


Is there an easy way to run BFGminer in a browser tab, instead of a console screen on desktop? This would allow BFG to be monitored and controlled via the Chrome tab.

Otherwise the remote PC still needs to come through something like "teamviewer".

Does anyone know of a good Linux for dummies type book I could pick up and try and figure some of this stuff out so I can stop asking dumb questions?

No worries,

sudo pacman -Syu python

Should do it.  Answer yes.

Neil

edit:  Not LCDstats, Piminer

So what I'm doing is trying to get LCDstats to work.  Apparently doing installing python before I install lcdstats isn't doing the trick.

After I run the python install you gave me it does it's thing then I run the commands to install lcdstats... Here's what I get.

[minepeon@minepeon ~]$ cd ~/
[minepeon@minepeon ~]$ rm -rf minepeon-plugin-PiMiner
[minepeon@minepeon ~]$ git clone https://github.com/MineForeman/minepeon-plugin-PiMiner.git

This will install the PiMiner LCD plugin for your MinePeon
it will require sudo access to install the service and ask
you for your password

You will need an Adafruit 16x2 LCD+Keypad Kit for Raspberry Pi
avalible from http://www.adafruit.com/. The origional code and
libraries are availible from https://github.com/adafruit/PiMiner
and https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code

Once it is going you will need to adjust the potentiometer
(the thing between the chip and the buttons) to adjust the
contrast. (Thank 6010fd12 for that tip)


Are you sure? [y/n]y
[sudo] password for minepeon:
ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/piminer.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/piminer.service'
[minepeon@minepeon minepeon-plugin-PiMiner]$

Any ideas or is LCDstats just not working with this version right now?

Not that big of a deal. It should be low on your priority list but when you said you forgot to install python and that's why plugins weren't working I got all excited cause I miss my little LCD screen.

Thanks again Neil
