If it's not, it means that the gpu-manager is not starting. For some reason the gpu-manager upstart job (/etc/init/gpu-manager.conf) must not be starting on your system. No gpu-manager means that the system won't adapt when you switch to a different driver or when something goes wrong (and you'll have to configure things manually). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310489 Title: xorg.conf overwritten by booting system Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 ---------------- == SRU Request == There is a regression in the gpu-manager that causes it to revert user changes right before the first reboot after enabling the fglrx driver or the nvidia driver on a system with hybrid graphics (Intel+AMD or Intel+NVIDIA). This causes the gpu-manager to remove the current xorg.conf and to switch to Mesa. [Impact] * This regression makes it almost impossible to use binary drivers on systems with hybrid graphics. [Test Case] * Make sure to be using a hybrid system with Intel+AMD or Intel+NVIDIA GPUs. * Make sure that the gpu-manager is not disabled (only necessary if you disabled it manually). * Remove all fglrx and nvidia drivers (keep the nvidia-common and the nvidia-prime packages): sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-331 sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-331 sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx-updates * Install ubuntu-drivers-common from trusty-proposed. * Restart the system. * Install the binary driver (either fglrx or nvidia, according to the available discrete GPU), reboot, and check that the binary driver is enabled (attach your /var/log/gpu-manager.log) - Expected: the (AMD or NVIDIA) discrete GPU is enabled. - Bad behavior: the system switches back to the intel driver and the discrete GPU is not used, despite the fact that the system was configured properly. [Regression Potential] * Low. Systems that currently work will keep working as usual, the ones that currently fail should finally work. [Other Info] * N/A ----------------- Hello, I am using a notebook with a quadcore AMD A10 and hybrid graficcard AMD/ATI Radeon HD 8650G / AMD/ATI Sun XT Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8690M. After installing fglrx I generated the xorg.conf in the terminal with 'sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial' and it looked pretty good. Up to this point I was able to switch between the cards with the commands 'sudo aticonfig --px-dgpu' for the discrete card and 'sudo aticonfig --px-igpu' for the intigrated card to save power. After rebooting I realized that I was no longer able to switch between the cards and found that the xorg.conf will be overwritten whenever I modified it and reboot the system. The new (by boot) generated xorg.conf contains not the relevant information for switing between the cards. I attached both configuration in one file (xorg.conf.comparison). I will also provide the atisysteminfo-report.txt so far I will find the place where to attach. Edit: I fixed the error --> "AIGLX error: failed to open /usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so, error[/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]" but it changed not the bug of overwriting the xorg.conf.
