@Christopher This is the same issue, so no need to raise a new bug request. I read your provided advisory link and first line says 'one defect, one person, one report' so there is no need to submit another duplicate bug report here. As mentioned in the bug description, Ubuntu 12.10 seems to not allow ATI graphics card based laptops to boot into Unity. I am having this issue, so i believe this is the correct bug report to participate in.
I tried a few of the methods mentioned in the orginating post this bug comes from (http://askubuntu.com/questions/202857/cant-install-ati- proprietary-drivers-in-12-10) like installing the gflrx-updates etc using Synaptics package manager and trying nomodeset on the grub menu, but none of these have helped. At the moment, the workaround for me is still to remove the gflrx package(s) and reboot, and then Unity comes back on the desktop and i run with 'Unknown' graphics drivers as displayed from System Settings - Overview. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068661 Title: Unity does not load after installing fglrx-installer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/1068661/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
