I have tryed everything i can think of

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get -f remove
Nothing helps
And also this error appears whenever i try to install or remove any program, and when using Synaptic Package Manager or Ubuntu Software Center

Please hel, i dont want to reinstall whole system

sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx

maybe try

sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx

it tells me that xorg-driver-fglrx doesn't have installation candidates and to try fglrx-updates xorg (or something like that, not at home right now, can't check exactly what)
but when I try that same error as in first post

may also be worth checking you have enabled proprietary drivers,

a quick google can guide you on that

Run this in a terminal:


sudo dpkg --configure -a

And try to update/upgrade.

As you've had a previous failed install "sudo apt-get purge fglrx-amdcccle" may be worth trying as a preliminary.

sudo aptitude reinstall fglrx-amdcccle

this worked, thanks
