Public bug reported:
Observations:
1. This FGLRX driver can be installed with the 3.0.0-15 PAE 32 Bit kernel. BUT:
a) To load a prevous kernel version via GRUB fails due to a black screen at
login. b) the Gnome Shell has damaged fonts as shown in the attached
screenshot. This seems to be a new problem.
2. The installation of a driver update (system settings/additional
drivers/FGLRX driver update) fails because the package cannot be found.
3. After installation of the ATI/AMD proprietary grahics driver with kernel
3.3RC3 and reboot: cryptsetup login works but no login screen but black screen
instead. uname -r: 3.3.0-030300rc3-generic-pae. The atempt to load a previous
kernel via GRUB (kernel 3.0.0-15 PAE 32 bit) also fails. That means that the
complete system hang due to the graphics driver problem. Solution was to do a
failsafe login via GRUB and uninstall the FGLRX drivers: apt-get purge
fglrx-amdcccle, apt-get purge fglrc, apt-get purge fglrx-updates
I don't know if this is an Ubuntu or an ATI driver problem. But 1. seems
to be at least a compatibility issue. A driver that was installed with a
certain kernel version blocks loading of another kernel. 2. is a package
maintenance problem. 3. shows that the problem is upstream relevant and
even worse with the upstream kernel.
Software: Ubuntu 11.10 32 Bit from Alternate CD using LUKS/LVM with
/-encryption, PAE-enable kernel update. Gnome Shell.
