@jean-Baptiste Wait a minute, I remember... u...@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 That is the command I issued after inspecting my command history, libGL.so.1.2 must have been the package I removed from being diverted to fglrx. I must tell you, I did an in place upgrade from 9.04, ran all the updates, then to 9.10, all the updates, then upgraded to 10.04, all in a couple of days, fyi. Someone told me to remove fglrx, so I tried couple things which didn't work, u...@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --purge fglrx --force-depends fglrx and u...@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get remove --purge *fglrx* and u...@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --ignore-depends=fglrx --purge fglrx those didn't work I then did u...@ubuntu:~$ dpkg -l '*fglrx*' which currently shows: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ NameVersion Description +++-===-===-== ii fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4 Video driver for the ATI graphics accelerators ii fglrx-amdcccle 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4 Catalyst Control Center for the ATI graphics accelerat un fglrx-control none (no description available) un fglrx-control-qt2 none (no description available) un fglrx-kernel-source none (no description available) ii fglrx-modaliases2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4 Identifiers supported by the ATI graphics driver un xorg-driver-fglrx none (no description available) And I don't remember exactly what it showed earlier, but I know the top line was different, not ii, but a captial U and a lower case i possibly, I could be wrong, but I do remember it being a capitol letter, don't remember what it was or which letter. I think it was telling me that fglrx was installed, but not correctly, since I couldn't enable compiz, it was like it was half way installed, and it wouldn't let me uninstall fglrx.

@jean-Baptiste Lallement, cool name by the way, if I ever got a name change I had always thought of something similar, jean-luke piccard, perhaps, lol when I get a chance to post the logs I will FYI, at the time of the upgrade, I did an upgrade using the update manager, from 9.04, to 9.10, to 10.04 over the coarse of a couple days, and at the time I was trying to install my ati drivers in 10.04 and I had fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu3 not fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4 by checking synaptic, and rather than upgrading using an iso of the alternate cd I used the update manager. I also had the aticcc menu before the upgrade, and I thought I had installed the ati drivers from ati web site, but never got compiz to work, and never got the jockey(hardware drivers) to activate the ati proprietary drivers. Also, I did a $ dpkg-divert --list and it listed fglrx as being diverted with another package, can't remember exactly the name of it. What ever that means, probably something to do with the upgrades/and/or not properly installing my ati drivers correctly in the first place. I ran $ dpkg-divert --remove /name/of/package and removed the package that conflicted with fglrx. Don't know if I should have done that or not, cause it still didn't let me activate ati proprietary drivers. Had to rename /usr/share/ati to ati_old before I could activate. I'll give you the outputs on what dpkg-divert --list showed and the logs when I get a chance. -- package fglrx (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 - inst_path_default or inst_path_override does not exist in /etc/ati when ATI Drivers are previously installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/565407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. ___ 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

@ Jean-Baptiste Lallement on 2010-06-14: #40 I have reproduced the problem with fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu3 and have verified that the version of fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4 in proposed fixes the issue. Marking as verification-done. I am experiencing this problem, upgraded Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 and I can't even install the supposed fix, (fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4) When I run synaptic and install fglrx, I get this error: /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu4_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 If I click ok on the pop up, I see that fglrx-amdcccle is installed, but fglrx itself isn't? -- package fglrx (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 - inst_path_default or inst_path_override does not exist in /etc/ati when ATI Drivers are previously installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/565407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. ___ 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

Sorry, I misspoke, I do have fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4 installed, looking in synaptic, but I still can't install fglrx, even though my resolution is very high and not 1024-768, which leads me to think a partial upgrade happened somewhere along the way, but didn't fully install the ati drivers, would my assumption be correct? -- package fglrx (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 - inst_path_default or inst_path_override does not exist in /etc/ati when ATI Drivers are previously installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/565407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. ___ 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

Yeah!!, I got my graphics working, after opening as administrator and renaming /usr/share/ati to /usr/share/ati_old, thanks to #10 and #24, also, after I renamed the folder, I went into synaptic, searched for ati, and it showed xserver-xorg-video-ati and also xserver-xorg- video-radeon as being installed, leading me to be able to have a high resolution, but no compiz I am assuming, I then rebooted and activated the ati driver in Hardware Drivers, and everything now works, thanks guys for all your help. Maybe this will help someone else also.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 565407] Re: package fglrx (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 - inst_path_default or inst_path_override
I need to clarify, I uninstalled the xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-radeon packages from synaptic, not just searched for them. Having two ati drivers packages installed was probably causing errors and preventing me from installing fglrx, as well as having to rename /usr/share/ati folder to /usr/share/ati_old all helped fix my issue. Although now, I go into monitor, and it doesn't show what model monitor I have, before it would display the model name of my monitor as Viewsonic, I'm not complaining, that's really a mute point. I also had two sets of ati ccc in the preferences menu, but fixed that by deleting one set in the main menu configurator. -- package fglrx (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 - inst_path_default or inst_path_override does not exist in /etc/ati when ATI Drivers are previously installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/565407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. ___ 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

** Description changed: == DESCRIPTION == Installation of package fglrx failed with the following error: Unpacking fglrx (from .../fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb) ... [Warning] Uninstall : inst_path_default or inst_path_override does not exist in /etc/ati. This suggests that the ATI driver is not installed, the ATI driver is only partially installed, or the current ATI driver installed is an older version than the one this script was designed for. Both files listed above are required for determining where installed files are located. To force uninstallation of the driver by guessing where the uninstallation files are located, set the FORCE_ATI_UNINSTALL environment variable and re-run /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh (this is not recommended). dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 The preinst script removes the /etc/ati directory _before_ running the ATI's uninstallation script. Hence the later complains about it not being there anymore. TEST CASE: 1. install the drivers from ATI (download the installer e.g ati-driver-installer-10-3-x86.x86_64.run and run it ) 2. install the package from the Ubuntu repository $ sudo apt-get install fglrx The installation crashes with the aforementioned error. 3. purge fglrx 4. reinstall the drivers from ATI (step 1) 5. install fglrx from -proposed 6. Verify that it install correctly and the drivers from ATI are removed. - == WORKAROUND == $ export FORCE_ATI_UNINSTALL=/usr/share/ati $ apt-get install fglrx OR - reinstall from the ATI installer to restore the /etc/ati directory - then uninstall with ATI script - finally installthe ubuntu package.
