Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Release: 12.04 Codename: precise #uname -a Linux dell-studio-1747 3.2.0-60-generic #91-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 19 03:54:44 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
To solve the problem, we have to: - download manually the proposed driver by amd official website on http://support.amd.com/fr-fr/download/ (in my case, the proposed driver is: amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run) - extract and run: amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg # and find <your_distrib_tag> in the list sudo amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run --buildandinstallpkg <your_ditrib_tag> - fix apt marks # Because this is the higher driver version we can expect for a 4xxx series sudo apt-mark hold fglrx sudo apt-mark hold fglrx-amdcccle The proposed driver by amd is 8.970 and it works like a charm. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1276379 Title: fglrx-installer 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 fails with some "legacy" devices (Radeon HD 2000 3000 4000) Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: [Updated description] Update of the fglrx-driver (version 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 on 2014-02-03) brought by update-manager (through ubuntu-updates repos) on Precise doesn't work on some "legacy" devices. The main symptom is the fallback to unity-2D. This bug seems target only Precise with no LTS Enablement Stack activated, in other words with Linux 3.2.x and XServer 7.6. ==> please : confirm or infirm using: uname -rm apt-cache policy xserver-xorg It may be in relation with #1058040, about non-support for Radeon [Mobility] HD 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx on Ubuntu 12.10 and higher. ______ 1)Description: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Release: 12.04 Architecture: amd64 2) apt-cache policy fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx: Installé : 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 Candidat : 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 Table de version : *** 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 0 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/restricted amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2:8.960-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/restricted amd64 Packages fglrx-amdcccle: Installé : 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 Candidat : 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 3) I expected that the driver : - set up - work 4) It did'nt work : - Ubuntu was very slow - Unity fall in Unity-2d mode - when I taped CTRL+SUPER, desktops appears blue - fglrx-amdcccle failed - fans were turning at a high speed - lots of warning messages as described bellow 5) Workaround I had to downgrade manually the driver to the old 8.960, which works without problem. You could do it using Synaptics our using the CLI I tried to do an "apt-get remove fglrx fglrx-amdcccle" but apt-get gaves me fglrx-updates in replacement , with the same issues. I experimented fglrx-update some months (a year?) ago with similar problems, but at that time it was a conscient experimentation. The 13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 could maybe stay in fglrx-updates, and no fglrx ? ____________________________________________________________________________ ~$ sudo aticonfig aticonfig: No supported adapters detected ~$ lspci -nn | grep VGA02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
