Tried to install ATI driver useing this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI step 3.1 But after successful install stil had no driver istaled, so after reboot tried step 3.2. After that I wasn't able to boot at all. Tried different boot modes and different kernels with no luck. So decided to boot from LiveCD, used chroot to fix my existing instalation. And then I met issue with fglrx.

Output from apt-get -f install

I've already read and tried a lot of stuff from other similar topics, but it doesn't works for me, and at the and I'm getting the same error. I had the same isses once long time age, but it was during usual (without chroot and LiveCD) session and I've fixed it with advices from other topics (not sure what exact).

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.3 x64 and graphics HD6870.

Any help highly appreciated ;)
