Public bug reported: Hello
I am not really sure how to report this bug even after reading the page on reporting. I will do my best. On both computers I have I never installed fglrx-updates but none the less the package was installed on both computers. This was not reflected in "Additional Drivers" either. Below is the specs of the computers: Computer 1 HP DC7100 Pentium 4 3.8GHz HT 4 gigs ram ATI Radeon HD 6450 Computer 2 HP DC5750 AMD Athalon 64 x2 3.0GHz 8 Gigs ram ATI radeon HD 7750 Both computers are under my care and it just so happens they have similar stories. I freshly installed Ubuntu 13.10 on both a little while before 14.04 came out. Well computer 2 had Lubuntu installed, Computer 1 has Ubuntu. On computer 1 I left the mesa drivers from default install on it. On computer 2 I installed fglrx from "additional drivers". I updated both to 14.04. I decided to update Computer 1 to the fglrx driver but I noticed it was slower afterwards so I thought mesa drivers were up to par, but things did not make sense, upon checking in additional drivers, it showed only fglrx installed so I switched to mesa and rebooted (this is on both computers). When the reboot was done and I checked additional drivers it showed fglrx-updates was installed, so I switched it to fglrx, rebooted, and check additional drivers again and it showed only fglrx. I got suspicious due to complications and slower speeds on computer 1, so I opened synaptic and typed fglrx. This revealed that both fglrx and fglrx-updates both were installed on both computers. The same result happened when I swicthed both to mesa again, this time only mesa showed in additional drivers but synaptic showed fglrx-updates was still installed. I also found someone on the forums that had the same issue only with nvidia, I fixed my problem and apparently their's by using synaptic to uninstall fglrx on both computers and set additional drivers to fglrx- updates. Both computers are fine however Computer 2 is having other errors but they don't seem remotely related to this issue. Computer 2 sometimes on boot gives USB 7:1 can not enumberate error (wireless card I am sure), and sometimes a end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector0.
