Had to poke around a bit to get the necessary instructions in order to get sgminer going on my Ubuntu installation. Found what I needed on a couple of different sites.

Thank you to veox for forking cgminer into sgminer and maintaining this version. I’m sure I’m not the only one who is greatful for your efforts.

I’m not sure what video card you are using but make sure you have the proper drivers installed. Also, I happen to be using mine-litecoin.org so change the paramaters below to use your mining pool.
