Ubuntu Installation :: Getting Errors When Trying To Fix FGLRX / Sort It?
Jun 27, 2010
A few weeks ago either after the upgrade to 10.04 or on a subsequent system update I have been having problems. I have not been able to use Compiz Desktop Effects and playing videos in full screen is awful slow and choppy. I have tried numerous things to try and fix this and now at this point whenever i try anything through the terminal I get the following error.code...

I'm running 10.10 from an 8GB USB flash drive with persistence to see if I can get it working the way I need it before I can completely transition from Windows. I have an onboard ATI Radeon HD3300 running dual monitors which is on the list of supported devices for the FGLRX driver package, but I've encountered multiple issues.
First, when I chose to activate it from the Add'l Drivers dialog, it gave an error: "SystemError: installArchives() failed". I found a forum where someone had suggested opening the Terminal and giving the following commands:sudo aticonfig --initialfollowed bysudo rebootWhen my system rebooted, the Ubuntu screen showed "Ubuntu 10.10" in a plain font instead of the Ubuntu graphical logo, and then it quickly displays an error in a dark-colored font and then the screen flickers several times before stopping at a full-screen terminal. I have never used Linux before, so I don't know any commands at all or even what to do from here. I just want the dual screens to work and have the correct resolution.
Am I going to have to format and reload my flash drive again?

I'm trying to install HylaFAX but it's giving me problems. I've installed the program on my CentOS (5.4) box but I can't seem to get it to send faxes.
I've tested the modem with the minicom program and I was able to dial out to my cell phone just fine. What do I do to to find out what the problem is? Which log file does HylaFAX log to?

In an attempt to correctly play Half-Life 2 in Wine, I installed the AMD driver downloaded from their site.
Code:
sudo sh ati-driver-installer-11-4-x86.x86_64.run
Reboot. Now, with both FireGL and this running a conflict is created. Naturally the system boots into command prompt. So:
[code]...
Reboot. Got OpenGL, but performance is choppy. Glxgears is very choppy.So how to revert to the old fglrx? There is an uninstall script at /usr/share/ati. Shall I run that or shall I reinstall all of the above removed packages beforehand?

I have a new ubuntu 10.04 amd64 installation (kernel 2.6.32-22) with a Mobility Radeon HD 3650. I tried to install the fglrx drivers from ati via the Software-Center and via apt-get. After installation, when starting the ATI CCC the following error message (sorry in german) appears:
[code]....
Translation: Driver is either not correctly installed or it does not work properly. If I try to execute fglrxinfo in the console I get a "segmentation fault". I think I do not have to say that the driver does not work. I have removed and reinstalled the driver several times.

After upgrade to Lynx, all of my ATI drivers don't work. Whenever I try to run fglrxinfo I get " Segmentation fault " And for fgl_glxgears I get" Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer Segmentation fault " For sudo aticonfig --initial -f " Uninitialised file found, configuring.
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf Saved back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-11 " Compiz does not work at all either.

I am running 8.04 on a Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop. (My Toshiba model is unfortunately the one with the Phoenux BIOS)I have been happy with 8.04 LTS for quite some time now and was thinking of upgrading to 10.04 LTS, which the Update Manager says is available. I normally choose to upgrade a few months after release once things have stabilised a bit. I figured it was now time for 10.04.I accordingly have first taken all the updates for 8.04 and brought it up-to-date. Then when I click on Upgrade, I get the following messageUpgrading may reduce desktop effects and performance in games and other graphically intensive programs.This computer is currently using the AMD 'fglrx' graphics driver. No version of this driver is available that works with your hardwarein Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Do you want to continue ?Since I wasn't sure of the exact entire implications, I said NO and exit the upgrade at that point.I then googled a bit and found this to be a pretty serious installation issue with a number of people who unfortunately have ATI display cards.But then I came across this page:Does the above link mean that this problem is now solved with respect to 10.04 as well ?Also, if not, what are the implications for me ? Does this mean I have to be stuck on 8.04 only ?If I choose to upgrade anyway, what display functionality will I lose ?I don't need Desktop Effects or other toys. But I do use GIMP quite a bit and also watch videos in multiple formats. Will I not be able to do these ?

i have a multi-monitor setup running two ati radeon 4870 cards.
after upgrading to 10.10 from 10.04 fglrx is constantly crashing. it works with some applications such as the browsers chrome, firefox and other applications such as nautilus but if i try to view videos or even open another application i use often keepassx it will crash to a terminal screen.
ubuntu 10.10 is very unusable in this current state, is there a way i can easily revert to 10.04? i have tried the ubuntu provided driver after fully purging fglrx as well as the one provided by ati and to no luck.

I wouldnt be posting here because I like to solve my problems by myself but I just dont know what else to do. I want to go back to the ubuntu world and I tried Kubuntu. After Installing the Fglrx drivers after a fresh install (10.10 32 bits) through the restricted drivers it shows an ugly font ubuntu loading screen and after that the screen turns "off" (like if there was no signal, the "on/off" light flickers) and it stays like that, but I can use the Ctrl+alt+f1 console. Installing the drivers from ati webiste ends in the same result as before. Downloaded Ubunt 10.10 32 bit and installed it, same results. I have a Radeon HD 3300 integrated. I dont know what to do. The open source drivers works well, but there is no 1280x1024 resolution in the screen manage

i'm using ubuntu 10.04 LTS and my GTK is amd radeon HD 6850. yesterday, i ran ubuntu 10.10 with the fglrx offic. drivers properly on my native resolution and with 3D acceleration, though i couldn't run my favorite game minecraft, so i tried to reinstall. by this, i accidentally formated my windows partition, so all i've got now are my live cd's and this installation of 9.10, where i downloaded the official drivers what didn't work, then upgraded to 10.04 LTS and can't remove the damn fglrx drivers. the error i get is: [URL]
how to get this working? i love ubuntu, i hate windows, it isn't an option for me to get back to windows, the only way i want to use it is for steam games [by the way, will there be steam for linux?] like cs:s, tf2, dow2, which i dont play that frequently as minecraft [i play this every day, on my fav server majncraft.cz]

I am running Kubuntu 10.04 LTS and have had no problems with my ATI card up to kernel 2.6.32-29. Upon update/upgrade to 2.6.32-30 the FGLRX driver will not load graphics and I can only get the text system login. If I reboot to -29 everything works great.

Compiz is utterly unusable, ever since probably about 9.04 or 9.10, when Ubuntu took out the Catalyst drivers for my laptop w/ Mobility Radeon HD 2300 their less capable open-source variants, which crashes after about 15 minutes of use.
The screen gradually becomes less responsive for about 5 seconds, until it just completely freezes and becomes completely unresponsive to any keyboard or mouse commands. I tried using the RadeonHD drivers instead and the problem is still there. The 'Hardware Drivers' app in System > Administration doesn't seem to do detect any fglrx drivers for my system.
How would I get some working fglrx drivers back?
And I don't want to use Metacity anymore.

I have an ATI radeon HD 3400 series video card, and the open-source drivers make my computer run really hot. I tried installing FGLRX by using "Check For New Hardware Drivers", but it did not work, so I installed the ATI catalyst 10.5 package from AMD's website, and am using Xserver-xorg-core-1.7.6-2ubuntu7+backclear1 from k0ekk0ek's PPA so there is no lag when minimizing windows and such.
Everything was perfect until the 2.6.32-23 kernel update came along. I let it update, and rebooted, but the ATI driver no longer starts, even when I uninstall and reinstall it.
I am just using the 2.6.32-22 kernel for now, as the 2.6.32-23 kernel still runs hot without the ATI driver enabled. I would like to start using the new kernel at some point...

I've just upgraded from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 64 bit, and everything went well except for the fglrx driver installation, which failed. I've checked the troubleshooting guide and tried to purge the drivers, with only partial success.
When i type dpkg -l '*fglrx*'
I get this,

| Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend

I need a quick answer if possible, is it better to remove the proprietary drivers before upgrading to 10.04 from 9.10? Or should i have the open source drivers installed? A clean install is not an option on this machine.

After the installation I have 3 screens setup, on DVI, HDMI (to DVI) and DisplayPort this is using and AMD HD5570 video card. With this configuration mirrored everything is fine and I can see all three displays.However having 3 copies of the same display is worthless, so I want a separate desktop per display.This is when everything goes wrong, after making the change to have 3 displays it fails to work, ie it crashes with the message below (full log is attached as well)Now I can use any 2 monitors independently with the third one mirrored, but I can not have 3 independent monitors configured on the card without X crashing. The exact same config, did work fine in Windows (where I verified the setup).
Backtrace:
[ 352.624] 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace+0x26) [0x4a2626]
[ 352.624] 1: /usr/bin/X (0x400000+0x6219a) [0x46219a]

I have a new installation of 11.04 with an ATI Radeon HD 2400 video card that previously worked fine under an earlier release.
I tried installing the proprietary drivers through the Additional Drivers section, rebooted and the video is choppy (dragging windows, etc).
From other reports around the Internet I've read, it's clear I'm not the only one experiencing this issue.
I tried the manual instructions, which turned out to be a mess and ultimately didn't work, either.

I recently upgraded to Lucid (x86_64) on an HP dv2 laptop, and after doing so, the system will not resume after a suspend (with fglrx installed from the "official" repositories). After reading a lot about the problem, I have seen that updating to the latest ATI driver had fixed this issue for some, so I would like to try that.
I am following the guide at at cchtml.
First, I tried installing the Ubuntu-X team's drivers. However, after (successfully) adding their repository, an update does not fetch their packages:
Code:
It looks like both the xorg-edgers and ubuntu-x-swat repositories are being ignored? (If I'm reading that correctly.) If I open the window System->Administration->Software Sources, I can see that the ubuntu-x-swat repository is checked, so I'm confused why it's being ignored.
If I try to demand the fglrx-installer package, I get an error that it cannot find this package.
Code:
I have the same issues for xorg-edgers and ubuntu-x-swat.
Finally, if I try to build the official ATI v10.7 drivers myself, I get an error that Linux is an unrecognized architecture!
Code:
I have installed all preliminary packages suggested in the guide:
Code:
I really can't understand why I'm unable to build the package from ATI myself.

I have been trying to install the FGLRX driver for a Radeon HD 4850. According to this page and others on the web, it says that Xorg 7.5 isn't supported by the driver. I was just wondering is it possible to install Xorg 7.4 on Fedora 12, if not what release of Fedora should I use (i.e does Fedora 11 support Xorg 7.4?)

I have installed the fglrx driver on my system (radeon hd 4830; asrock 4coredual sata2 rev. 2.0; Intel Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E6300 @ 2.80GHz; opensuse 11.3; 64 bit). Installation of fglrx seemed to be smooth, using the manual way, generation of rpm. part from the fact that there were 4 error messages like:
"Cannot stat <temporary intallation directory>/.../libGL*" "Cannot stat <temporary intallation directory>/.../libGLE*" and the related two cp commands failing. So, what does not work now: glxgears and fgl_glxgears hang after 2-3 seconds; so does full screen playback with flash player.

We switched from unix to linux and we have an old report that extracted data from a database, output to an ascii file and then sorted the results in the file based on different arguments. The report now blows up when it runs,and I can only guess it is because the options for sort on linux differ slightly from unix.For example, here is one of the commands issued from within the report app that ran on the old unix box:
if sort-sequence = "descending" then
'sort -t~" -f +3.0f -4.0 +5.0r -6.0 -f '
else
'sort -t~" +3.0f -4.0 +1.0f -2.0 -f'
I will eventually rewrite the report to store the data in a local table, but I can simply adjust the options to suit the requirments of linux. Basically, I need to know if this can be a quick fix for the short term.
