    AMD Catalyst 13.12 on 12.04 failed because of missing kernerl headers

    The installation failed when I ran dpkg -i *.deb and gave this error:

    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of fglrx:
    fglrx depends on linux-headers-generic | linux-headers-generic-lts-quantal | linux-headers; however:
    Package linux-headers-generic is not installed.
    Package linux-headers-generic-lts-quantal is not installed.
    Package linux-headers is not installed.

    I've done this before, but I just can't figure it out now.
    I tried sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) and it says the newest is already installed.
    Please help!

    EDIT ran apt-get -f install for the headers, but it gave an error. I'm not sure if it failed, this is what it said

    I'm having the same problem as you, I can't find any help for it online either.

    A little more information please:
    Did you have any Fglrx drivers installed , and did you purge them before trying to install the new one?
    Did you get Fglrx 3.12 from AMD website ?

    Generally different Fglrx versions have incompatibility with Xorg server versions.
    so, it is best to use the Fglrx version that is available in the Ubuntu Repos.

    Have a look here to see if following the steps helps:: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD

    Edit: It seems like you have 13.251 version installed , you need to purge that first and reboot.
