I’ve tried ubuntu 12.04 many times(with many version catalyst), but no luck.
After reinstall ubuntu 13.10 , all works well.
So I suggest using ubuntu 13.10 .

Bug reported to developer.

I have 4 r9 290x running on ubuntu 12.10. The driver is 13.12 linux. I tried to run clptes  error message.

error in xptMiner/clInit.cpp, line 96: Method clGetDeviceIDs(...) failed (errorcode -1)

Any idea to fix it?

I have the same error for my 3 R9 290x's as well

"error in xptMiner/clInit.cpp, line 96: Method clGetDeviceIDs(...) failed (errorcode -1)"

Just wasted my whole day off setting up ubuntu and installing 13.12 drivers with "joshpatten / mining-bootstrap script "  and no luck

I'm so frustrated rights now 

Just dont get it.

All my devices are shown with aticonfig

Reward for Helping!!

Anyone who can guide me to getting my R9 290x's installed and working on any Linux distro, as easy as possible

I will send you a Battlefield 4 Origin Code. I currently have 3 listed on eBay but will pull them off and if I can get some helpful progress to anyone that contributes.

I'm a bit of a noob with Linux so please have detailed info. Your help won't go unnoticed.

version should be 13.25.5

If I am correct this should be the fglrx driver of Catalyst 12.9. This is too old

Hi Nan:
Just upgrade to 14.1 Beta , still not working  (cgminer works fine)
