Remove "AMD testing use only" script

[homerhomer]

How I really "PAY" for my AMD video card on Linux.

If you are using the latest beta then you'll notice a "AMD test use only" watermark.

This little bash script should fix that

Run as root and you should be good

As always, use at your own risk

careful guys, probably my fault which did it, but this script totalled my install. all good now though got stuck on boot & rummaging round xorg, etc, resulted in nowt.

**USE AT OWN RISK!***

Hi guys, I have switched from windows 8 (the HORROR!) to Ubuntu 12.10 today, I must say it rocks, but I am a total noob now, so Please explain how I can run this as root? I selected run as exe in properties but there is no option to run as root????

Welcome! Great community here, I'm sure you'll love it. Here we're going to need a little shell (command-line) use, as this is a non-standard use case.

First backup stuff. System-changing scripts can and do break. While linux breaks really nicely and informatively, it still breaks.

Remember where you've downloaded the script to. I.e if it's in Downloads/remove_amd_message.sh, remember that.

Open a terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T), it's a little purple box. Then type:

sudo Downloads/remove_amd_message.sh

replacing the path with what you remembered.

Enter your password when prompted (you can't see it, just type and press return), then you should be okay to go.

Thanks for your reply man!

I tried what you said, when it asks for the password, it doesn't let me type it! The keyboard works fine when typing in the command, but when the password is requested I cant type it!
