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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
