[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 440233] Re: fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf
Just had this problem. In my case looks like some other program (was trying to install openbox) RENAMED amdpcsdb.default to amdpcsdb. , causing this file missing error. Renaming amdpcsdb. to amdpcsdb.default (just added .default file type) fixed perfectly the problem, in my case. I'm at Debian Wheezy, ATI Radeon 7520, Toshiba Satellite Notebook C855D.

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 440233] Re: fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf
Zhao, Have you read the install notes for the drivers particularly the following /Note: You must be logged in with superuser privileges (as root or with sudo access) in order to successfully install the ATI Proprietary Linux driver./ I am wondering why the directory /var/lib/dkms/fglrx directory is not present. Is this because you are not running with superuser privileges and the install script could not create this directory along with it's contents? You should be running the command (or something similar): sudo ./ati-driver-installer-10-4-x86.x86_64.run Please note the following howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI I don't think I cam help you more.

Bryan, Thanks for the howto link. I actually had it in my bookmarks some weeks ago but did not get back to read it since my driver was ok at the beginning. I will read it more carefully now and see if I can make some more progress. Sorry for the confusion, but I should have made it clear that I am aware of using 'sudo'. The reason that I still don't have the /var/lib/dkms/fglrx folder, I think, is due to this error message: [Error] Kernel Module : Removing fglrx-8.723 from DKMS This actually was resulted from the confliction of kernel version, which I think I got the work around in my last post. In other words, this folder was created during the installation, but due to the error in the 'make' command, this folder is then wiped away. However, to really get the problem solved, I will learn the info in your link to see if I missed something. Meanwhile, I see that ati has posted a new version of catalyst last week. Maybe that can give some improvements as well. I will also try it tonight back home. -- fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440233 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 440233] Re: fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf
Bryan, Thanks for the very quick reply. I have checked my install log. It looks like that it is saying it cannot find my kernel: --- Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.723/source - /usr/src/fglrx-8.723 DKMS: add Completed. You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located, or you could install the linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic package.

It says usually this kernel source is in /lib/modules/$kernel_version/build. However, I did not find this folder 'build' in my /lib/modules/2.6.31-14/ at all. I checked another kernel in my system. It has a build folder, but it is pointing to /usr/src/linux-hearders-2.6.32.22, not the one I would need for 2.6.31-14. In /usr/src there is no such folder. I am not sure if I can install this? The problem is, I cannot boot to the 2.6.32-22 kernel at all because I got only a black screen, even in recovery mode. I tried to just copy the build folder from /lib/modules/2.6.32-22/build to the one of 2.6.31-14. Now I get a different error in the install log: --- Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.723/source - /usr/src/fglrx-8.723 DKMS: add Completed. Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.

I checked my folder there in /var/lib/dkms, there is only one single file dkms_dbversion. I thought maybe it is just too shy to make such a folder there. So I created the folders /fglrx/8.723/build in my /var/lib/dkms. Now the install log (/usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log) changed to: -- Errors during DKMS module removal Errors during DKMS module removal [Error] Kernel Module : Failed to add fglrx-8.723 to DKMS It is just not very logical to me.

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 440233] Re: fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf
Zhao, You should be aware that the following is two commands: cd /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.723/build; sh make.sh --nohints --uname_r=2.6.31-14-generic --norootcheck These are: cd /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.723/build sh make.sh --nohints --uname_r=2.6.31-14-generic --norootcheck The first is a change directory command to directory /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.723/build. This command will only fail if this directory does not exist. The second is running make in this directory. The key input to make is the file Makefile. It is found in this directory. I assume it is the Kernel module for fglrx which make is is intended to build. Make is much more complex and could fail for many reasons. My guess is make is failing (I assume the /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.723/build directory exists). However diagnosing make problems is outside my expertise. I would also expect that the install is running with root privileges and therefore should not have any problems with write privileges creating files etc. Therefore I think your following comment is wrong: I thought maybe it is just too shy to make such a folder there. The contents of the /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.723/build directory on my system is (You will note the existence of the files make.sh and Makefile): br...@tardis:/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.723/build$ ls -l total 6820 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root4096 2010-05-07 21:44 2.6.x -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 290 2010-05-07 21:44 dkms.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root4363 2010-05-07 21:44 drm_compat.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21251 2010-05-07 21:44 drm.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root4920 2010-05-07 21:44 drm_os_linux.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31451 2010-05-07 21:44 drmP.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15405 2010-05-07 21:44 drm_proc.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root4834 2010-05-07 21:44 fglrxko_pci_ids.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 163326 2010-05-07 21:44 firegl_public.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 37809 2010-05-07 21:44 firegl_public.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27696 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_acpi.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root5775 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_acpi.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12172 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_agp.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root2610 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_agp.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root1578 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_config.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root4568 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_debug.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root7202 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_debug.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root5923 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_io.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root6271 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_ioctl.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root2703 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_ioctl.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root2943 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_io.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root1529 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_osconfig.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root9660 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_pci.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root3558 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_pci.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root7519 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_str.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root2925 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_str.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root1863 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_type.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root3448 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_wait.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root1793 2010-05-07 21:44 kcl_wait.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3251624 2010-05-07 21:44 libfglrx_ip.a.GCC3 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3251624 2010-05-07 21:44 libfglrx_ip.a.GCC4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 87 2010-05-07 21:44 Makefile -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15958 2010-05-07 21:44 make.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 root root2630 2010-05-07 21:44 make.sh.log This is about as much help as I can give.

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 440233] Re: fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf
Zhao, I am no expert at this but perhaps the install log for the driver may give a better clue as to why installation failed: /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log I have had to reinstall the drivers several times, typically after downloading and installing a new version of the kernel. This has made my system unusable and I have had to reinstall the fglrx drivers. Prior to reinstalling the fglrx driver I have used Synaptic to remove any packages with fglrx in their names. I don't know whether doing this was technically necessary but I have not noticed any bad side effects. Currently my system is working quite happily without any fglrx* packages.

I run a system with a Sapphire HD5750 graphics card. I have the latest drivers which I downloaded from the ATI site installed on my system. Each time a new kernal comes down (like tonight) the graphics on my system stop working and my system becomes unusable. What I have to do is uninstall the ATI drivers (I do this in recovery mode), and then reinstall the ATI drivers from the ATI site. (I take this opportunity to get and install the most recent version of the drivers.) Someone out there more knowledgeable about the Linux kernel may be able to advise why a new kernel breaks the ATI drivers. Hope this helps.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 440233] Re: fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf
If I enable the fglrx driver, then I get a flashing console login screen and xwindows does not load when I reboot. In order to fix this, I have to delete xorg.conf; at which point, the console login screen stops flashing and I think xwindows begins to load automatically (i am not sure exactly/i forgot). I cannot watch 1080p movies well because of slowdowns, However when I do watch them, the subtitles sometimes flash and the artifacts of the screen/lighting flash. Thus, because of all the flashing, maybe this is related to refresh rate or something that goes bad.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 440233] Re: fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf
I my case, I think the true problem is related to the incompatibility of this driver with ATI RV3XX Series card, which explain the No devices detected. See : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/284408 After manually installing all /etc/ati/ missing files, amdpcsdb was generate automatically after aticonfig invocation. But since the fglrx module could not be load properly just before... All these are useless. Having a driver from ATI which supports old GPU series, compiles and runs with recent kernel and xserver, is not for now... Anyway and at least, the Xorg team did a very good work with the free radeon driver. It is a little bit slower, but after having found a good balance between the driver performance and Compiz Settings, it works quite well. :) -- fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440233 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

I am also having this issue. ATI 4850HD 64 bit ubuntu.

I have the same issue on a clean install of 9.10 32-bit. Literally all I did was install Ubuntu, run apt-get update, install FGLRX from Hardware Drivers and reboot the system.

Thanks for the confirmation Ocram.

In the meantime, a new version has been released which seems to have fixed the issue. I've found this workaround / solution which works for me at least: 1) Remove all installed fglrx drivers (both ATI and Ubuntu flavored) and packages (all packages with fglrx somewhere in the name) 2) Remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if exists) 3) Remove the /etc/ati directory and all files within it (if exists) 4) Install the latest fglrx driver via the restricted hardware manager. I'm not sure if a standard upgrade path works though. I'd rather not re- break my system now I've finally gotten it to work.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 440233] Re: fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf
It sounds like you just have a messed up install. These files are installed normally during the configuration stage; if you reboot the system before it's completed this stage, it can result in these files not being put into place properly. This can cause a lot of trouble, which it sounds like you've been having. A fresh reinstall is probably the easiest solution, although if you're skillful with apt you can probably get it back in shape, but that's outside the scope of an X bug report. Regarding the fglrx from AMD, that won't work. AMD has not yet released a version of fglrx for the kernel we include in Karmic. The fglrx we have is a pre-release version they've provided for Karmic. Regarding the problem with xorg.conf when manually removing fglrx, that's not really a bug - if you manually remove a video driver you also need to manually remove it from xorg.conf. ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu Karmic) Status: Triaged = Invalid -- fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440233 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

Thanks for the explanations. I did not, however, abort the installation at any point. I waited until the restricted hardware manager asked me to reboot, and rebooted when it did. I also tried doing dpkg-reconfigure xorg-driver-fglrx without any luck. Manually installing the *fglrx* packages didn't work either. As the system was unbootable, I was forced to manually remove the *fglrx* packages. For future reference, is there anything else I could have done? Is there a better recovery procedure? In any way - what am I supposed to do now? I'd rather help tracking down the bug than simply reinstalling and hoping for the best. ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu Karmic) Status: Invalid = New -- fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440233 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

If you manually remove the fglrx packages, you also need to remove or change the Driver fglrx in xorg.conf to ati. ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu Karmic) Status: New = Invalid ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu Karmic) Assignee: Bryce Harrington (bryceharrington) = (unassigned) -- fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440233 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

I've looked in /var/log/dpkg.log and there are no errors, warnings or the like regarding the fglrx packages. You've marked the bug as invalid, yet I have a serious problem that I can reproduce and is willing to help track down. Is there any specific reason that you are ignoring it? Reinstall and try again isn't really a constructive way to fix bugs IMHO. ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu Karmic) Status: Invalid = New -- fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440233 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

For what it's worth, the official fglrx installer from ATI doesn't work either. Here is fglrx.install.log after my latest try: --- Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.65/source - /usr/src/fglrx-8.65 DKMS: add Completed. Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.
