@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

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

i repair that following the steps of post #25 and #26 -- Gabriel Cuka wrote on 2010-05-08: | #25 -- I renamed the /usr/share/ati folder to /usr/share/ati_old, and after that the installed completed. Interesting: no new /usr/share/ati folder was created by the install. Of course, ATI Catalyst no longer functions... farge wrote on 2010-05-08: | #26 I can verify Gabriel Cuka's comment - renaming that directory allowed both the repository fglrx package and the ATI-sourced package to install. Renaming the /usr/lib/fglrx directory also fixed two installation warnings about subdirectories not being able to be deleted. Neither of these two steps, however, resulted in a functioning driver. I wonder whether it's a kernel issue, since my display is garbled on startup as well. Full 1440x900 resolution without acceleration when in X, but the startup splash screen is garbled beyond recognition.

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.

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

[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'm still having major problems with both the ATI open and proprietary
drivers. I can now install and uninstall without the scripts braking but
the remaining problems are even less funny.
Having reinstalled Lucid the propriety driver installs out of the box but is
not enabled (shown in Admin-Hardware Drivers).
Enabling these appear to do nothing, I can't enable the desktop ('desktops
effects could not be enabled').
Disabling the drivers and installing the open fglrx drivers results in
desktop effects (even though the 'desktops effects could not be enabled'
message appears).
However, booting results in a blurred rainbow colors like desktop. Re-
booting: same thing. Fixing X using a live CD: no result, so all that's
left now is reinstalling Lucid.
I really think this is a showstopper for Lucid. at least on hardware
with ATI HD2400 cards and probably much more...

About my statement 'I really think this is a showstopper for Lucid. at least on hardware with ATI HD2400 cards and probably many more ATI cards...' What I mean with this is that it may put off a lot of novice users who are not familiar with the level of tweaking that is required to get the system up and running.

I solved by re-installing the proprietary binary from Ati (download from site v. 10.4), and doing 3/4 times Aticonfig initialisation ( aticonfig --initial -f). I don't know why, but the 3 times initialisation (it consist on writing a new autoconfiguration on xorg.conf) was my solution (with only 1 initialisation, 3D was not working at all).

(@weskey5644: the ability to upgrade between distributions is a feature of Ubuntu, therefore it should work and be maintained, regardless of a popularly-conceived best practice.

I can verify Gabriel Cuka's comment - renaming that directory allowed both the repository fglrx package and the ATI-sourced package to install. Renaming the /usr/lib/fglrx directory also fixed two installation warnings about subdirectories not being able to be deleted. Neither of these two steps, however, resulted in a functioning driver. I wonder whether it's a kernel issue, since my display is garbled on startup as well.

[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
One question I have for anyone stating upgrade. Are you referring to an actual upgrade or a complete wipe then install? Never upgrade Ubuntu, do a complete wipe and then install. Anway: I myself have a HD 5. (The same drivers for each 5). Anyway, the ATI driver one normally obtains is from the AMD website; which crashes like a motha. The only solution would be to completely delete the ATI folders; whether one will find it in /user/share or /etc or any other place, for that matter. Ubuntu will always start in safe graphics mode if xorg is not configured properly (normally it will ask you such after deleting xorg.conf or delete configurations for ATI).Once you have deleted any ATI based folder and restarted, safe graphics mode will be implemented. Some of you might experience garbled resolutions after the restart (this would be from the safe graphics; bare with it). Then go ahead and install your drivers using Jockey (System - Administration - Hardware Drivers). This will only work if there is no trace of the original ATI driver (found from AMD website). You will need to do some modifications using amdcccle (or manually edit xorg.conf) after installation. Or invoke the initial argument. (aticonfig --initial) then restart-x (DO NOT RESTART UNTIL YOU RESTART X). I will monitor this log if anyone wants the help. Just shout or scream and I will come to some rescue. Just remember to let me know your specs (hardware, etc) -- 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

OK all, forget the previous update, I have managed to execute tjhe proposed workaround but I'm now facing the following: According to the driver manager (System-Administration-Hardware Drivers) the propriatary fglrx driver is available AND enabled. However, when I want to enable visual effects there's a long driver search resulting in 'desktop effects could not be enabled'.
