user15503: I'm a total noob regarding bitcoin mining, I've installed cgminer using apt-get install but I can't get it to work.
I start it with this command:
./cgminer  -o stratum+tcp://www.albamine.net:3333 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword

I followed these instructions:  (I'm mining for scotcoin.)


Install Ubuntu
Install updates
sudo apt-get update
Install updates for your graphics card
Install misc packages
sudo apt-get install gedit git libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev pkg-config automake yasm
Edit grub configuration
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
  Edit GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 to GRUB_TIMEOUT="10"
sudo update-grub
Download ATI OpenCL drivers. Untar it and run the script inside.
Reboot.
git clone git://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer
Download the ADL SDK. Unzip it. Copy the include directory into cgminer, and name it ADL_SDK
Check dependencies for cgminer.
  cd ~/cgminer
./autogen.sh
Create the build script:
  CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native -I /opt/AMDAPP/include/" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/AMDAPP/lib/x86_64" ./configure
make
Run using
  export DISPLAY=:0; export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1; ./cgminer -n


The first few times I tried I got an error that repeatedly said:
KnC spiL Can not open SPI device /dev/spidev1.0: No such file or directory.

NowI'm getting a terminal that looks like this, and I have no idea. I've googled select sections of the code but can't figure out what it's all about. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks.

Info. Running Ubuntu 14:04 on a System 76 Galago Ultra pro.

user15510: Your system reports: Intel's new Iris Pro graphics.
As far as ubuntu 13.10 was concerned the package cgminer was compiled for nvidia graphics cards and installed the module for ubuntu.
Consider running a system with dedicated GPU w/ PCIe: e. g. nvidia and ATI and possibly compile cgminer by yourself.
I tried bfgminer for ubuntu now, see here: http://jarco.be/install-bfgminer-ubuntu-mint/
...but cannot get it to work for litecoin scrypt right now...
NOW up and running bfgminer compiled for ubuntu 14.04 with howto from here:
https://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2012/01/02/bitcoin-mining-in-ubuntu-with-bfgminer/
with some minor changes:

installed "bitcoin-qt" instead of "bitcoin"
sudo apt-get install uthash-dev
./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-scrypt --enable-opencl && make
modified ".bfgminer/bfgminer.conf" can be pasted here, if you want
-> 880kh/s @ ATI Radeon R9 290X
