I think I figured it out!!! Finally!!! Guess what it was? I was running, "export DISPLAY=0" instead of "export DISPLAY=:0".
That's it. Isn't that ridiculous? After running all those commands, that little colon messed it all up haha.
While writing some scripts to install sgminer under Linux, I made a Darkcoin ASCII image. I thought someone else might want to use it too. :grin:

Found out something odd. After I install sgminer, I can run "sgminer -n" and it detects my GPU. But then once I run the full commands:
export DISPLAY=0
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
sgminer -k x11mod ...blah...
it doesn't do anything. The crazy weird thing is...
I'm using 14.6 Catalyst driver and Linux Mint 17 XFCE 64 bit (it's a slow CPU).
Wait, it has to be installed through GUI? Maybe that's my problem.
-----EDIT-----
I can't install it through GUI. If I try installing it through GUI, it tells me to do it through command line. Like, it says I have...
I can't find any help on the Internet for this problem. I'm trying to run sgminer with an AMD Radeon R9-280x GPU under Linux. When I run "sgminer -n", this is the output:
$ ./sgminer -n

What kinds of files are we allowed to attach in the forums? I'm sure there's a list somewhere on here, but I can't find it.
I ask because I was hoping to create some scripts for the guides I've posted to make cpuminer and sgminer installation easier.
For processors that DO support AES-NI
3- Update your computer and install dependencies. Open up Terminal with ctrl+alt+t. Then copy (ctrl+c) and paste (ctrl+SHIFT+v) this:
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade -y
sudo aptitude install -yr git curl unzip gedit automake autoconf...
just_mike posted an awesome tutorial, which points to here: http://cpucoinlist.com/how-to/mine-darkcoin/
I'm going to expand on the steps for installing and setting up the CPU miner.
1- Check if your processor supports the new AES-NI instruction sets. You can do this one of two ways (Method A...
I was thinking this too. It's called Darkcoin, but the GUI''s are really light. Apple and Samsung have made white the trend, but I don't think a dark theme would turn people off. A Goth, depressing dark wouldn't be good, but like a slick, sophisticated, cool dark would be awesome.
I'd offer to...
I actually didn't know about BAMT beforehand haha. But I use Linux anyway so having sgminer right on my hard drive is nice. Do you know if BAMT has any performance benefits or anything?
-----EDIT-----
I was looking at the wrong options. I like #4 of the current options.
-----ORIGINIAL-----
Choice as!!! At first glance I liked #4, but after looking at them more closely, definitely #3. It's got a minimalistic design, and because minimalistic gui's are the trend right now, it...
If you got stuck on step 5 (like if all you see is a blank screen), this might help you login.
Press ctrl+alt+f1 to get to the Terminal, aka "black screen of death" (jk :wink:). Type in your username (the name of your Home folder) and then your password. Then type this in:
sudo amdconfig...
Configuring Sgminer
20- Now make a script that you'll use whenever you want to launch sgminer. This script saves your mining preferences. It's pretty handy.
cd ~
gedit darkgpu
21- An empty file should pop up. Copy and paste this in there:
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/sgminer
export DISPLAY=:0
export...
***This guide shows how to set up sgminer (GPU miner) on 64-bit Linux when your computer has an AMD/ATI GPU or APU.*** This is targeted for Ubuntu, Xubuntu, etc. users. I can't get it to work for Linux Mint or Arch Linux. I figured out how to run sgminer on Linux Mint and Arch Linux. See the...
I'm using the x11mod kernel. I didn't even know there WAS a "darkcoin" kernel, but hey look, there is! I haven't tried it out, but I'm guessing that the x11mod will work better. So in the command line, I'm using "-k x11mod."
I'll give you my full config for djm's sgminer just cause I'm that...
Hey thanks fusecavator! Now my hashrate is about 5Mh/s. But I'm still getting all rejected shares.
-----EDIT-----
I fixed it. Now my shares are being accepted.I misread the README file. I thought it said that the nist5 kernel was an improvement on the x11mod kernel, but it's not. Using the...
