I feel like the name of this thread echoes around the support forums very often. I have tried using Google, but i have reached a point of desperation. I urgently need this system back up, since there is outstanding work for a client that needs to be done!
A little background:
My HD4870 started artifacting so it was replaced by a HD6870 - nice. :guitar: But the unexpected hardware upgrade left my Ubuntu Oneric system without any display - i just got a purple haze at the login screen. So i whipped out my Ubuntu livecd (which is still Meerkat), but i it got me back in. So here's what i've done:
Ubuntu Meerkat livecd
chrooted into the system with internet access using script given here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1699633)
Manually downloaded ATI drivers off of web
Installed execstack using commands given here (http://www.breaknenter.org/2012/04/how-to-install-execstack-on-ubuntu-hardy/)
Tried running the following command as found on this (http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Oneiric_Installation_Guide#Installing_Catal yst_Manually_.28from_AMD.2FATI.27s_site.29) page
sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer-12-4 (http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/12-4)-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/oneiric
Now i am getting this error:
At the start of the installation , but i don't know if it is really an issue.
(synaptic:8710): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
Unable to resolve dh-modaliases. Please manually install and try again.
And then at the end i get this:

As she said in 5th element... "Please, help."
