Ubuntu Installation :: While Upgrading To 10.04 FGLRX Failed To Install - Now Can't Purge It
Sep 21, 2010
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,
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend

I went to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 and it wouldn't upgrade. This is the error:
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.
I looked for the same errors on here and on the Internet and these were some solutions, but they did not work (I included the errors form the solutions)
1. I tried in the terminal to apt-get clean, sudo apt-get -f install and this is what I got:
E: Could not open lock file /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the download directory

I'm trying to upgrade from 9.1. Originally I was using update manager, but the upgrade failed. Now I have a big icon red with white line on the top toolbar. When I hover over it, it tells me to run Package Manager in order to fix Broken Packages. However, that doesn't work. If I try to run the upgrade again I end up being told to use the terminal and run sudo apt-get install -f. When I do that I get the following ...

I installed Lucid (clean install after several attempts at upgrading from Karmic failed), and I have an Intel 8xx video card. I was able to get Lucid installed by adding "xforcevesa" into the command line at startup. Now I would like to try changing my computer away from Vesa and seeing if I can try to get the i915 driver working.
That being said, I cannot figure out where to go to change my kernel boot configurations. Every tutorial I've found refers me to /boot/grub/menu.lst which I cannot find. Ever since I moved from Karmic to Lucid, I've regretted it as it seems like all the How-To documentation is no longer valid, everything has been changed and moved around.
I don't know why it is dumping me onto Vesa, or why my stupid driver was blacklisted; everything was working fine under Hardy, Jaunty, and Karmic. Why problems now? Does anyone know how I can get into my boot setings and replace "xforcevesa" with something that will make the intel driver work?

i used to use ubuntu 9.04 on my lap compaq 515, it worked well. But on upgrading to the higher versions(9.10, 10.04) the system failed to boot. Whenever i tried to install, the laptop would freeze and just show a blank screen. The Configuration of my system is below
Processor-AMD Athlon X2 64-bit
RAM- 1.7Gb
HDD- 150Gb
Graphics Card-ATI Radeon 3200 HD Graphics (256MB)
Is the problem actually with the operating system?. Does the new versions of ubuntu support this configuration or not?

I can't get my fglrx drivers activated, every time I try I get an error message. I first tried going into System-->Administration-->Additional Drivers and activating it their but I get this error message: SystemError: installArchives() failed. I tried using some jockey command (my apologies as I can't quite remember the command) and I got the same error message. I was searching around on google and I someone said to type Code: aticonfig --initial Into a terminal and now my computer is running really slowly and I can't get it to run like normal. My windows scroll down in increments, when I try to move a window it jumps around, I can't handle how slowly this thing is going.

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've installed openSuse 11.4 server-mode (text only) on my desktop, and I'm trying to configure IceWM so i'll eventually have it set up so it always boots into text only mode, but I could be able to quickly start icewm via the command line.using Yast, I installed the Xorg server, and icewm.when I type X, the screen goes black and it just doesn't seem to do anythingI found if I hit ctrl+alt+f1 it kinda puts me back into text only mode, but I can't put in commands anymore. The last thing it says on the screen is:
Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
I've goggled that error message and the discussions that popped up around it made no sense to me at all. I've never configured X from scratch before, can someone point me towards a tutorial or something?

I have searched around a bit and am having difficulty purging blockcontrol off my system. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS i686 version. I have been able to remove some of the programs attached to blockcontrol but cannot remove blockcontrol. The synaptics package manager and console root access will not rip out blockcontrol. I want the entire Moblock/Blockcontrol set off the system.

I've setup two printers through a system running Ubuntu server that are shared with 30-40 users on our school network.
If the printers run out of ink or paper, they stop printing. The lazier members of staff don't proceed to recharge the ink or paper so when somebody does, hours later, the old jobs start printing again which the teachers no longer need or want.
I'd like to automatically have my system purge print jobs older than 1 hour. I'm running CUPS and sharing the printers through SAMBA. How do I do this?

I have an old 8.04.02 installation that I would like to upgrade to 9.10. I'm trying to use the incremental upgrade path: 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10. Unfortunately, that computer can't use the internet for some reason, so I have to use the alternate CD. (A partition with a fresh 9.10 installation can use the internet just fine, but I want to carry over everything from the 8.04 installation into 9.10 -- and finally use the internet again). I tried following the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades . I inserted the disc and went through the automatic upgrade dialogs. After clicking "No" on the "Include latest updates from the Internet?" dialog box, the upgrade starts then instantly returns this error message:
Failed to add the CD.There was a error adding the CD, the upgrade will abort. Please report this as a bug if this is a valid Ubuntu CD.The error message was:'Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not an Ubuntu disc or the wrong architecture?'I get the same thing if I try this on the command line: gksu "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade"I checked the architecture. My computer uses amd64 and the alternate CD is for amd64.I got the disc image fromso I think it's a valid Ubuntu CD.PS: Also posted as a bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/534240 I'm just hoping someone has either experience or a workaround that can get me on my feet again.

I already have a 300 GB SATA drive with Ubuntu 8.04 installed on it. It is currently running off my mobo's onboard SATA 1.0 Raid Controller. I recently purchased a SATA 2.0 Raid PCI controller that I will be putting in the computer and 2 new 750 GB Western Digital Caviar Green Hard drives. I wish to add the two drives in a Raid 1 configuration to store all my Pictures, Files, and Movies on. Every instruction and tutorial I can find on setting up Raid on Linux assumes you are performing a fresh install on Linux and gives no tips or instructions for current installations. I already have Ubuntu installed and do not wish to have to reinstall it. I want to leave my installation on the 300 GB drive and just add in the 2 750GB drives for storage.

I'm a relatively new user of Linux, I use Kubuntu 9.10, and I would like to know whether I need to make a clean install for upgrading to 10.4 (I know, stable isn't ready yet, but I'm impatient , and I want to prepare in advance) or I could do it in some way without losing everything I have installed? Or maybe it would be better to only upgrade to the newest version of KDE (I'm using 4.3.2 now)? Which one is easier and/or better? How is it done (Note: using KDE)?

I am currently running Ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop (no duel boots, its a single os on the computer) I wish to upgrade to 10.04 using the update manager, but the only thing that is stopping me is the new Grub.
Will the upgrade replace the current grub to the new one? because I DONT want it to change it, as previously I had issues with Grub 2 failing to install onto my hd. I just want it the same as it is now but with 10.04

I've been using Ubuntu since 6.04, not a linux guru by any means but can usually get myself out of trouble.
So, the issue... I installed 8.04 on my mother's laptop some time back as she was having trouble keeping Win 2000 running (she has a low spec no-name generic laptop btw). I live in Autsralia and she in England, i thought i could better support her if she was running Ubuntu... All has been well with 8.04 but with the new LTS release (10.04) i thought i'd talk her through the upgrade... Did the online upgrade via Update Manager, all seemed to go OK but when she went to log on after restart she got an error saying 'authentication failed' even though we are 100% sure we have the user name and password correct... Tried to do a ctrl+alt+F1 to by pass the GUI log on but couldn't get the terminal session to open up, just got a black screen - no command prompt.
So... thought OK re-install... downloaded the ISO, burned and sent her a CD in the post... talked her through the re-install, all seemed to go well (again) - BUT, after restart, couldn't log in "authentication failed" again...
So, remember i'm trying to talk a novice through all this... any thoughts!?!
If i can get her to log in i can then support her via some kind of remote sesion or other screen share... and it wont cost me a small fortune in international calls!!! But if i can't get a log in, i'm dead in the water!?

I just performed a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 on my flash drive, allocating a 6.5 GB persistence file. Of course, the first thing I did after booting from it was to run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade. After a lengthy install process, I was eventually notified that several packages failed to upgrade. I rebooted and tried again, still to no avail. Now, whenever I install a new package or attempt to upgrade with apt-get, I receive the following or a simmilar output:
Code:
Setting up fuse-utils (2.8.1-1.1ubuntu2.2) ...
creating fuse group...
udev active, skipping device node creation.

Recently I did a wget for DreamLinux 4beta6.3, which I now cannot burn to a disk. Another issue with linux in general being just a hobby. Why could a dev not set it up where you could just wget the upgrades for the main distro files themselves ?? We already do this when upgrading the apps, so why not the distro? Why could you not start at alpha, and just slap do a rolling upgrade into rc and beyond?
I understand the potential stability issues, but why can't we ghost the drive and hence have a backup on hand and then do this as outlined, and hence do a single install from alpha the distro's grave? I am wasting four months on "Setting Up" each install, only to wind up reinstalling again. This happens in every variation I have come across. Even in stable versions, the rolling upgrade just craps the install, and the major do overs hijacks all my data.

I was recently watching an avi file, when suddenly, my tower (the computer) got really, really noisy. That's pretty normal when I'm on my Windows side, but very unusual for Ubuntu Linux. I knew something was in the wind then and there. So I exit my Dragon Player to discover that ! gasp ! KDE is down, replaced with the default wallpaper for GNOME, and no bars anywhere. I reset the system only to find that it refuses to boot into either KDE or GNOME. Having been in something similar to this situation before, I decide that Xorg.conf must be broken somehow. In an effort to get to the GUI where I can safely edit it, I try reinstalling KDE and GNOME, which both failed.
So I try installing xdm...which results in only being able to access the login screen for XFCE. Whenever I try to log in using the correct credentials, it simply refreshes the log-in screen.
1. Is this, indeed, the sign of a broken Xorg.conf, or a broken Xserver in general? Or is there something larger that was changed?
2. How do I fix this? (I've already tried using Ubuntu 10.10 64 in rescue mode, but I can't seem to change anything in the system itself.)
3. Is this possibly a result of upgrading straight from 10.04? Is it possible that having both KDE and GNOME contributed to this?

I need support for adjusting over/underscan for my Mitsibushi WD-Y577 57" DLP HDTV (a breed between WD-57733 and WD-57734), because the open source ATI Radeon driver does not include it. When I attempt to install fglrx, here's what I'm getting:
apt-get install fglrx
Code:
Loading new fglrx-8.723.1 DKMS files...
First Installation: checking all kernels...
Building only for 2.6.33.5-rt23
[code]....
I have compiled 2.6.33.5 from source and patched it with 2.6.33.5-rt23. I have adjusted features take a lot of things off that I don't need. I need the real-time kernel for music creation using JACK (Jack Audio Control Kit).
Adjusting over/underscan requires an AMD Catalyst Control Center. Will there be future open-source ATI drivers that allow me to correct my display without having to change modelines in xorg? It will take a lot of trial and error to figure this out for my display. Note that even if I did install the kernel headers for 2.6.32-23-preempt or 2.6.33-23-realtime (depending on what I use), fglrx module will still fail to install, even if I install linux-source. I'm confused. I do want fglrx and I do need the real-time/low-latency kernel for music creation under Ubuntu 10.04.
Update: if you create a utsrelease.h header file inside /usr/include/linux directory, you can write out like this:
Code:
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.33.5-rc3" # replace the version number for your running kernel. You can then reinstall fglrx, but then I get this:
Code:
DKMS make.log for fglrx-8.723.1 for kernel 2.6.33.5-rt23 (x86_64)

Reboot. Now, with both FireGL and this running a conflict is created. Naturally the system boots into command prompt. So:

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 was trying to install a RAR extractor called Peazip (http://peazip.sourceforge.net/) I selected the 64-bit package (I run Lucid) and went for it. Everything extracted ok, and the package met all requirements. However, during the installation process, it hung. No movement. I closed out of the installation, and restarted, to attempt a second try.
Now, when I try to install anything:
