[Bug 1161173] Re: package linux-image-3.8.0-15-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 128
To work around this, i did a manual 'sudo apt-get install linux- image-3.8.0-15' from the terminal, then rebooted. Update Manager seems to be happy now, for the time being. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1161173 Title: package linux-image-3.8.0-15-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 128 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1161173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1098561] Re: Unsupported hardware watermark appears when FGLRX is installed on 13.04
** Description changed:
On the latest daily release of Raring, a watermark/overlay shows in the
bottom-right corner of the screen when fglrx or fglrx-updates is
installed. It reads Unsupported hardware and has the AMD logo above it
on top of a semi-transparent black background.
This watermark is essentially equivalent to the Testing use only that
appears when the proprietary beta drivers from AMD's website are
installed. Therefore, the same workaround applies:
[Workaround]
Step 1) Create and save shell script with the following contents:
#!/bin/sh
DRIVER=/usr/lib/fglrx/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so
for x in $(objdump -d $DRIVER|awk '/call//EnableLogo/{print
\\x$2\\x$3\\x$4\\x$5\\x$6}'); do
sed -i s/$x/\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90/g $DRIVER
done
Step 2) Make the script executable
Step 3) Run the script
Step 4) Log out and log back in
+
+
+ If the above workaround doesn't work for you, an alternative is to try
+ the version of /etc/ati/control from the fglrx that shipped with
+ Quantal.
+
+ Step 1) Save a backup of the old control file, just in case -- sudo cp
+ /etc/ati/control /etc/ati/control.watermark
+
+ Step 2) Download the Quantal fglrx source package from
+ https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/fglrx-
+ installer/2:9.000-0ubuntu3/+files/fglrx-installer_9.000.orig.tar.gz --
+ you will NOT need to build or install it.
+
+ Step 3) Open that tar file with Archive Manager. Find etc/ati/control
+ and extract it.
+
+ Step 4) Copy the freshly extracted version of control to
+ /etc/ati/control then restart your system.
+
[Original Description]
After upgrading to raring and installing the latest fglrx package from the
archive I get a AMD branded overlay in the bottom RHS of the screen with the
message 'Unsupported hardware'.

[Bug 1098561] Re: Unsupported hardware watermark appears when FGLRX is installed on 13.04
The shell script in the workaround failed here. The awk command produced a \x5b that sed choked on. So, I tweaked the awk script to bracket its output as sed character classes; that let the script finish, but I wound up with a corrupt fglrx_drv.so and had to drop into recovery mode, uninstall fglrx, then boot in to low graphics mode and reinstall it. However, the thread in http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2074962.html led me to a workaround that did succeed. I grabbed the /etc/ati/control from a 12.10 install that was running on the same system, copied that to the 13.04 system, and the watermark is gone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098561 Title: Unsupported hardware watermark appears when FGLRX is installed on 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1098561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
