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.
Thank you for you time
