EDIT: I wrote this before the "Fix Released" status (might be already obsolete)
I finally got it working on Trusty (Ubuntu Studio 14.04.2 LTS, Xfce 4), but proposed fix did not work out of the box. I am posting this just in case someone, just because of plain old bad luck, runs into same problem as I did, this solution just might help, IDK. Let me go through what was happening: I enabled "trusty-proposed", pinned the repo (I read the article actually), installed using apt-get (sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates/trusty-proposed) and did a reboot. Initially, it looked like it worked, "Additional Drivers" settings section indicated I was using "fglrx-update" proprietary driver, both Ubuntu Software Center and Synaptic indicated that correct (trusty- proposed) versions and dependencies were installed, so I thought all went good, until I tried to launch ATI Catalyst Center and got message about error while initializing "amdcccle" (No such file or directory). I purged all installed files, reverted to default community driver, did another reboot and repeated installation process again. Same results. Then I realized that I was getting error for running "amdcccle" and not "amdcccle-updates" as I thought it should. So here is what I did (by steps): 1. Open Synaptic 2. Search for "fglrx" 3. Find "fglrx-updates", select it, go to Package -> Force Version... , select "trusty-proposed" and hit Force Version; apply changes in synaptic 4. Select "fglrx-updates" again, right click & mark for reinstallation; apply changes in synaptic 5. Find "fglrx-amdcccle-updates", mark for installation it if it isn't installed, and/or mark for uninstallation "fglrx-amdcccle" if it is installed; apply changes 6. Select "fglrx-amdcccle-updates" and go trough the same steps as with "fglrx-updates" (i.e. forcing version and reinstallation) 7. Select "fglrx-updates-core", and mark it for reinstallation (this one cannot be forced, so just reinstall); apply changes 8. Reboot / Shutdown your machine (don't forget to turn it on, duh) A NOTE: I am 100% sure there is a lot cleaner and more efficient way for accomplishing this using terminal command line or something else, but I hereby publicly announce that I am not Linux Master Chief or Guru or anything nearby, mere intermediary, average user here. This "solution" is merely a crude result of hours of trial-and-error nail-biting-hair- pulling process, so please, if someone can simplify and polish this garbage workaround of mine, please do! :) -- 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/1424491 Title: apt-get fails to install fglrx or fglrx-updates in 14.04.2 and 12.04.5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/1424491/+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
