    Re: 10.04 broke my fglrx, how do I fix

    Hi,

    A somewhat hackish solution that seemed to solve this problem for me on two desktops that I upgraded was the following:

    $ sudo bash
    # cd /usr/share/ati
    # export FORCE_ATI_UNINSTALL="yes"
    # ./fglrx-uninstall.sh
    # exit

    After this I could resume installing the fglrx package through synaptic or jockey (as you like). Note however that the previous error message by synaptic said that this was not recommended, but it's worked well for me.

    EDIT: never mind, I see now that the instructions above are dealing with this in a better way

    Re: 10.04 broke my fglrx, how do I fix

    Hey ,
    So your Force remove worked the best that was the easiest way to fix the problem worked immediately . Nice especially because I dont feel like spending days getting my driver working
    This worked for me:

    $ sudo bash
    # cd /usr/share/ati
    # export FORCE_ATI_UNINSTALL="yes"
    # ./fglrx-uninstall.sh
    # exit

    THanks mbrx I know its now the best solution but it not bad.

    Re: 10.04 broke my fglrx, how do I fix

    This worked for me too although it took a couple of tries to get the export variable to work, then finally the uninstall script ran. Synapic still showed fglrx as being installed and threw an error when I tried Complete Removal.

    Jockey said no prop drivers were in use and offered nothing. In synapic I chose Reinstall fglrx, and Install ccc.

    I used
    PHP Code:
    sudo aticonfig --initial 
    which created a clean xorg.conf

    Now everything works fine, including desktop effects.

    Thanks.

    Re: 10.04 broke my fglrx, how do I fix

    Help! I've tried every variation of every method suggested on this thread so far and haven't had much luck.

    Here are a couple of the things that haven't worked.

    Purge everything fglrx related
    Install ATI driver
    Remove /usr/share/ati
    Install fglrx again

    Purging fglrx and just installing the ATI driver

    Force uninstalling the ATI driver and installing fglrx

    Purging fglrx, reinstalling fglrx, then installing the ATI driver

    Using the open source drivers

    All of these methods either leave me with a system that won't make it past the splash screen, or if I do manage to boot, I'm stuck with a single display being mirrored on both my monitors. CCC tells me

    "There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following.

    No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly.
    Please install the ATI driver appropriate for your ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig"

    I just really want to be able to use both my monitors as an extended desktop, that's all! This worked fine until I hit 10.04, and now it's been a huge hassle. I would really appreciate any advice here. Thanks guys.

    After this did CCC work? Mine did at first, without errors, but display was still unusable at this point, and Compiz wouldn't work.
    Also, did you see anything like the fglrxinfo output here: http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showth...28#post9355828

    Did you get any problem uninstalling fglrx, or did the unistaller give you a confirmation message of success (it should have)?

    If so, then have faith, somehow I got through this and I'm a bit of a newb.

    Yep, you have to reboot each time. At least 10.04 boots quick... but still a drag.

    CCC would never work, it always gave me the same error message. I ended up just doing a clean install of 9.10. Not sure if I'll upgrade to 10.04 anytime soon, as this is my work machine and I can't really spend the time fighting with it if it doesn't work.

    Re: 10.04 broke my fglrx, how do I fix

    This is for anyone who installed the ati drivers from the AMD site and followed the install instruction. THere are PURGE driver instructions in that pdf that explain how romove the ati catalyst and drivers after that is done download the latest driver and follow the install instructions. this worked for me.
    http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

    Read carefully and download the right driver and it will work like a charm
    Thanks

    Do make sure your video card is supported by the drivers and the Ubuntu version you are using. I'm sure I'm just stating the obvious facts, but repetition is the mommy of something... Drivers around version release times can be particularly tricky things. If it is not necessary for some critical feature that you need and it might be fixed in the new drivers, stick with what works.

    I believe fglrx replaces Mesa libraries, so when you uninstall fglrx those should be restored.

    Anyway...this thread is oozing wisdom in regards to fglrx as far as I can tell.
