Welcome to the scallion wiki!


I've fixed it! At least on my configuration, which is a Radeon HD5770 on Ubuntu 13.10 using amd-catalyst-13.11-beta6-linux-x86.x86_64.run. I had to downgrade to the 2.7 SDK. Also, I kept having bugs with fglrx, but I got that squared away too.

I got the fix from https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen/issues/19.

Steps:

  1. Get fglrx installed correctly grab the latest beta driver from http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux%20x86_64 $ unzip amd-catalyst-13.11-beta6-linux-x86.x86_64.zip $ chmod +x amd-catalyst-13.11-beta6-linux-x86.x86_64.run $ mount -o remount,exec /tmp # only needed if your /tmp is mounted noexec :) $ sudo ./amd-catalyst-13.11-beta6-linux-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/saucy $ sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb $ sudo amdconfig --initial -f $ sudo nano /etc/default/grub

    add "nomodeset" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

$ sudo update-grub $ sudo reboot

  1. Download the AMD APP SDK 2.7 http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/downloads/download-archive/ http://developer.amd.com/amd-license-agreement/?f=AMD-APP-SDK-v2.7-lnx64.tar $ tar xf AMD-APP-SDK-v2.7-lnx64.tar $ sudo ./Install-AMD-APP.sh

  2. Make sure your environment variables are set right You might have to copy AMDAPPSDKROOT and LD_LIBRARY_PATH out of /etc/profile

  3. Run scallion!
