Public bug reported: See bug 1069199, 1088722 and 1068404:
Im using quantal. Not fixed by nick andrikos's ppa. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND After installing ATI proprietary drivers for my Radeon video card, Unity doesn't start anymore. LightDM shows up, and I'm able to log in, but Unity doesn't load. Obs: The same occurs when installing fglrx package (if I choose it, instead of fglrx-updates). Removing the proprietary driver fixes the issue. This is the output of lspci -v | grep vga 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Caicos [Radeon HD 6400M/7400M Series] with the radeon driver the fan was really loud, the laptop was overheating and the battery was draining fast. Then I tried fglrx but unity wouldn't load(only the wallpaper and the mouse) so what I did for now is: Remove fglrx and use opensource radeon Use switcheroo (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics) to disable the discrete card(amd). You can add echo IGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch right before exit 0. This lets the system work , with norma fan, heat and battery. When i run aticonfig --initial -f i get the following: sudo aticonfig --initial -f Uninitialised file found, configuring.
