[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1025488] Re: fglrx (not installed): fglrx kernel module failed to build [error: implicit declaration of function ‘do_mmap’]
Which is why I stepped down to the ATI/AMD 12.4 driver which had previously worked is that I don't really have the time to play throw darts on the wall with drivers at the moment to see which works. If 12.10 doesn't work because of something lame like a drive, it's off the menu regardless of how polished it may be. 12.04 (sort of ) works OOTB, but the 'updated' driver set on 12.04 does not. OOTB, 12.10 is a complete fail for me. While I do appreciate Ubuntu (and other 'nix variants are not Windows) I am pretty sure a motherboard from 2011 should work with a modern 'nix distro. My laptop based on 4 year old hardware happily runs Sabayon (Linux kernel 3.5) or the latest Gnome Ubuntu. They are very different machines. One fails completely, the other works like a charm post upgrade. A user, irrespective of technically ability, should be able to expect their operating system to continue to work after an upgrade. The upgrade should give a serious hardware check before doing anything that may hamper that user's chances of being able to do anything post upgrade. It has it's own issues but Sabayon is far better in this respect because rather than dumbing down the updates/upgrades, there is a box which basically says if you do X, Y may happen. Z may be an option and here is more information. This is where Rigo (Sabayon's GUI software installer) totally flattens Ubuntu's both the Software Centre Update Manager. But that is just my opinion. I may not be able to use it, at least I know I am unable to do so. So time is not wasted against dumbed down upgrading which just breaks things. Finally, To see if this was avoidable or if the video card was compatible I looked up the Certs page to see what alternative pieces of hardware might be an option. Ubuntu's hardware cert pages which used to be great, seems to be dumbed down and listed for down to brands. If you're lucky, the pointless Community hardware search which might give you a irrelevant bit of user info. Oh well, I'm pretty sure this will be written off as a dupe or NOF or something along those lines.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025488 Title: fglrx (not installed): fglrx kernel module failed to build [error: implicit declaration of function ‘do_mmap’] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1025488/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

This Video card is listed on the Certified hardware, one would think it is supposed to work pretty well. http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/pci:1002:9715-VIDEO/ http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/pci:1022:9601/ The Motherboard and chipset may have variances but 12.04 worked, 10.10 worked, so... I think it is reasonable to suggest something broke between that point, and the latest 12.10. Other than AMD punting support for slightly not brand new products, I can't see what it it.

Public bug reported: Description:Ubuntu quantal (development branch) Release:12.10 amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run(which was running 12.04) AMD HD 4250 1)Was running the included ATI/AMD driver (11.3 I think it is) on the 12.04 install 2) Upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 3)Screen went from 1080x1whatever it was, to 640x480 On attempted to edit settings, received Initialization Error There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following. No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the AMD driver appropriate for you AMD hardware, or configure using aticonfig 4) Attempted the suggested aticonfig which stated there was no detected hardware 5) As it had worked in the past and I still had it on hand, I tried using the 12.4 version 6) Purged the non functional driver 7) Installed 12.4 with Quantal packages which was partially successful. I can now get * 0. 01:05.0 ATI Radeon HD 4250 * - Default adapter But on attempting to get the Control box, The same There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition.

I would happily report bugs against this, but Package fglrx-installer does not exist. As the system was working prior to the upgrade on a 2011 machine.
