regarding Unity not working after installing fglrx, the workaround is described in step 2 of the first message of this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1930450 I tried that myself and now Unity works even when using the integrated GPU with fglrx installed.
Regarding the steps to install intel driver from Nick's page, I would recommend these steps: 1-go to https://launchpad.net/~andrikos/+archive/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=quantal and click on xserver-xorg-video-intel - 2:2.20.0-0~andrik1 2-download the xserver-xorg-video-intel packages appropriate for the architecture (xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.20.0-0~andrik1_amd64.deb for 64-bit systems, xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.20.0-0~andrik1_i386.deb for 32-bit systems) 3-open the terminal 4-go to the directory where the packages have been downloaded 5-run sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.20.0-0~andrik1_amd64.deb (for 64-bit systems) or sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.20.0-0~andrik1_i386.deb (for 32-bit systems) In my case, the intel driver was enough to make the fglrx and fglrx- updates drivers from quantal/restricted repository work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068661 Title: 1002:6740 Unity does not load after installing fglrx-updates Radeon HD 6700M Series To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1068661/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
