OK all, forget the previous update, I have managed to execute tjhe proposed workaround but I'm now facing the following:
According to the driver manager (System-Administration-Hardware Drivers) the propriatary fglrx driver is available AND enabled. However, when I want to enable visual effects there's a long driver search resulting in 'desktop effects could not be enabled'. Running Forlong's compiz-check script (http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check) gives the following output: --------------------------------------------------- ./compiz-check Gathering information about your system... Distribution: Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop environment: GNOME Graphics chip: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 2400 Driver in use: radeon Rendering method: None Checking if it's possible to run Compiz on your system... [SKIP] Checking for hardware/setup problems... [SKIP] At least one check had to be skipped: Error: No rendering method in use (AIGLX, Xgl or Nvidia) ----------------------------------------------------- Now what? -- package fglrx (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 - inst_path_default or inst_path_override does not exist in /etc/ati when ATI Drivers are previously installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/565407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
