[Bug 1069199] Re: Unity does not start after installing fglrx-updates
apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected running-unity staging ** Description changed: After installing ATI proprietary drivers for my Radeon video card, Unity doesn't start anymore. LightDM shows up, and I'm able to log in, but Unity doesn't load. Removing the package fixes the problem, getting back to the opensource driver (ati). Obs: The same occurs when installing fglrx package (if I choose it, instead of fglrx-updates).

I have a similar problem. If I install the fglrx or fglrx-update proprietary ATI Radeon driver, I'm able to log in but Unity doesn't load. Removing the proprietary driver fixes the issue. This is the output of lspci -v | grep vga 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Madison [Radeon HD 5000M Series] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Please let me know if there is any other information you need. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069199 Title: Unity does not start after installing fglrx-updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1069199/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1069199] Re: Unity does not start after installing fglrx-updates
It's a ATI Radeon HD 7700M. Actually, I found that I'm running Intel (i915) driver for acceleration (my video setup is hibryd - it's a notebook with onboard and dedicated cards). The FOSS driver (radeon) is detected by Xserver, but acceleration got disabled (I guess my card isn't supported). Once I install fglrx driver, I got the following error from X: [ 3.252] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra- modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg- tmp/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: noXFree86DRIExtension As far as I've read around, this is a imcompatibility between Xserver 1.13 and the upstream Linux driver from ATI. Latest version (9-beta) says to be compatible fully with Ubuntu 12.10, but it seems it actually isn't. I don't wanna try to downgrade Xserver, as it is probabily going to break my system. Is there any option but waiting the upstream driver to be fixed?
