@Christopher M. Just want to add that AMD APP SDK (http://developer.amd.com/tools/hc/AMDAPPSDK/Pages/default.aspx) cannot use GPU as OpenCL device if open source video driver is used.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1068661] Re: Unity does not load after installing fglrx-installer
I know someone who had the same problem on Ubuntu 12.10 (freh installation) after installing fglrx[-updates], missing the Unity taskbar and close/minimize/maximize buttons in windows (possibly the whole window decoration). I think his problem was fixed by installing the Linux kernel headers. Maybe fglrx/fglrx-updates lack a dependency in the control file (i.e. the kernel headers)? -- 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/1068661 Title: Unity does not load after installing fglrx-installer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/1068661/+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

@pcworld No my friend... I tried installing the linux source and the headers even with a fresh install and still it won't work.

@Christopher This is the same issue, so no need to raise a new bug request. I read your provided advisory link and first line says 'one defect, one person, one report' so there is no need to submit another duplicate bug report here. As mentioned in the bug description, Ubuntu 12.10 seems to not allow ATI graphics card based laptops to boot into Unity. I am having this issue, so i believe this is the correct bug report to participate in. I tried a few of the methods mentioned in the orginating post this bug comes from (http://askubuntu.com/questions/202857/cant-install-ati- proprietary-drivers-in-12-10) like installing the gflrx-updates etc using Synaptics package manager and trying nomodeset on the grub menu, but none of these have helped. At the moment, the workaround for me is still to remove the gflrx package(s) and reboot, and then Unity comes back on the desktop and i run with 'Unknown' graphics drivers as displayed from System Settings - Overview. -- 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/1068661 Title: Unity does not load after installing fglrx-installer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/1068661/+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

apport information ** Tags added: staging ** Description changed: I have a laptop with ATI Radeon 6770M HD Hybrid graphics card.

After installing that older 12.4 driver (as I mentioned in the above comment) I opened the AMD control panel (before rebooting. If I reboot, i'll loose unity) and it gave me an error saying there's no AMD graphic driver installed.

Pubudu Kodikara, thank you for providing the requested information. Please be advised that while placing a bug report at ati.cchtml.com is one more way to increase your chances of this being fixed as soon as possible, it's not maximizing it. This is how as per AMD http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx , ati.cchtml.com is a community resource, and is not supported by, or affiliated with AMD in any way. Hence, could you please contact AMD directly through official support channels and report the results via https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Official_AMD_support_channels ? As well, regarding your overheat with the open source driver, you are welcome to file a separate bug against linux following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/HighTemperatures . Please note WORKAROUNDs at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/HighTemperatures#Working_around_overheat .
