I'm mining with linuxcoin and would like to go headless with ssh to an old netbook I haven't been using. Does it matter at all what linux distro I use (aside from finding one that runs well on the netbook)? I'm currently testing linux peppermint, and really like it. This distro is very fast and has 0 installation issues for me. If it is just a matter of personal taste, I'll probably go with this. But I would appreciate anyone pointing out features other distros have that might make them better for my purposes. For example, is there any advantage to just running another copy of linuxcoin?
Also, is it possible to ssh (or something like it) directly to another computer by ethernet cable? If so would that be more secure than ssh over the network? I hope these question aren't too pathetically newbish, but, well, I'm a newb. Thanks.
You can ssh into linuxcoin from whatever OS you desire. Check out the wiki for instructions on how to take control of your cards via ssh.
So I have been running the latest version of linuxcoin, and am mining away, but I have noticed a few problems that I need help with.
-When I try to make the backround a solid colour, I get logged off.
-When I am using 2 video cards, 2 X 5970 and I move my mous off the screen, I cannot get it to come back, but if I use one 5870 and one 5970, with the monitor plugged into the 5870 all is fine.
-When I create a text file in leafpad and make it an executable using the properties window, I can run the miners but there is no terminal, even if i select run in terminal.
Anyone else seeing these problems, or any ideas on how to solve?
1) I'll look into it very soon
2) I've not experienced this ? Are you sure it won't come back ? lol I've lost mine a few times lol
3) Post your script and I'll take a look
