[Bug 1068661] Re: 1002:6740 Unity does not load after installing fglrx-updates Radeon HD 6700M Series
nice Nick. It worked like a charm for me at least. Even the Integrated card driver, so now there is no over-heating. Finally i am using 12.10 and enjoying it rather. I hope they fix this dependency problem, because now I have to be very careful while updating the system that I do not update my intel driver as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068661 Title: 1002:6740 Unity does not load after installing fglrx-updates Radeon HD 6700M Series To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1068661/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you Nick, your fix worked for me... But I've faced with some problems... 1 - Think we should download both dbg and regular xserver-xorg-intel packages in PPA 2 - After installing those packages, we should reboot the system Then install fglrx driver (I've installed 12.11 successfully for my AMD radeon HD6770M hybrid with an Intel HD 3000 ) TIP: First time I executed sudo amdconfig --intial -f it reported me that my graphic card is not supported, but I've skiped it and rebooted my laptop, then I've logged in Ubuntu also without Unity bars. However, I called terminal (by pressing CTRL + ALT + T) then executed again sudo amdconfig --initial -f and it worked!

@Eslam Abd El-Ghany Yes I am able to. In fact I am using the integrated card currently as it does not over heat my system. There is a bug in enabling the igpu. The workaround is mentioned in the thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1930450 As earlier mentioned by Marco...

regarding Unity not working after installing fglrx, the workaround is described in step 2 of the first message of this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1930450 I tried that myself and now Unity works even when using the integrated GPU with fglrx installed.
