Public bug reported: 1) OS Version: Ubuntu 10.04 2) Version of package: ubu...@ubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy fglrx fglrx: Installed: 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu5 Candidate: 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu5 Version table: *** 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu5 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/restricted Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/restricted Packages 3) I expected: A painless installation of the FGLRX driver. 4) I got instead: A failure, package failed to install.
I had some trouble installing this driver on 10.10 and read about problems with it, so I tried to step back a bit to 10.04. First installed it on a 1GB stick without persistence, the driver seemed to install fine though it asked me to reboot which is of course kind of pointless without persistent storage. I put the live image on a 4GB stick with 3.1GB persistent storage. I tried the installation of the driver again, but it failed as you can see here. That's before it got a chance to ask me to reboot.
