Backup using Clonezilla (recommended). STEP ONE: Remove proprietary AMD / ATI drivers.
STEP TWO: What kernel are you using? Type in terminal: uname -r If you are not using this kernel (3.14.37) download it here as I know it works very well: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14.37-utopic/ You will need all three of the following packages (if your system is 64 bit; if 32 bit, download the corresponding i386 packages): http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14.37-utopic/linux- headers-3.14.37-031437-generic_3.14.37-031437.201503261136_amd64.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14.37-utopic/linux- headers-3.14.37-031437_3.14.37-031437.201503261136_all.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14.37-utopic/linux- image-3.14.37-031437-generic_3.14.37-031437.201503261136_amd64.deb KERNEL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (note, do this from a terminal in the folder where the above kernel debs are stored): INSTALL KERNELS: sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.14.37-*.deb linux-image-3.14.37-*.deb Reboot your system. STEP THREE: Do not use the drivers installed via the "Additional Drivers" app. Make sure you are using these drivers for your AMD / ATI card: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-linux-run- installers.zip Here are the install instructions for the above drivers. Make sure you are patient as the build and install procedures take a fair amount of time: #prerequisite packages# sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs dh-make dkms sudo apt-get install execstack dh-modaliases fakeroot libqtgui4 # If you are 64 bit, install these too sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1 libc6-i386 Correct dependency issues with: apt-get install -f # Create and install deb packages for trusty after unzipping the AMD driver package: sudo sh ./insert_amd_driver+package_name_here.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/trusty sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb # Enable new settings (make sure you do this before rebooting). sudo aticonfig --initial -f # Reboot your PC Your problem should now be solved. It is recommended you keep the install packages for both the video drivers and the kernel. Keep the instructions as well as you will repeat the process with new drivers etc.. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> On 15-04-01 05:02 PM, clickwir wrote:> Still a big problem. > Gordon VS gvsche...@cciwireless.ca On 15-04-01 05:02 PM, clickwir wrote: > Still a big problem. > -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314787 Title: Memory leak To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1314787/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
