I need to install AMD drivers in my Ubuntu 12.10.

I followed What is the correct way to install proprietary ATI Catalyst Video Drivers (fglrx) directly from AMD? (and I installed all dependencies from 12.04 guide)

Here is my logs:

Check if system has the tools required for installation.
Uninstalling any previously installed drivers.

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.98/source ->
                 /usr/src/fglrx-8.98

DKMS: add completed.

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:
cleaning build area....
cd /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.98/build; sh make.sh --nohints --uname_r=3.5.0-17-generic --norootcheck.....(bad exit status: 1)
[Error] Kernel Module : Failed to build fglrx-8.98 with DKMS
[Error] Kernel Module : Removing fglrx-8.98 from DKMS

------------------------------
Deleting module version: 8.98
completely from the DKMS tree.
------------------------------
Done.
[Reboot] Kernel Module : update-initramfs

Any ideas what im missing?

  • Do you have the headers and build-essential packages? The dependencies that were explained in the 12.04 method?

    Try directly executing cd /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.98/build; sh make.sh --nohints --uname_r=3.5.0-17-generic --norootcheck, then reporting why it failed here. Oct 9, 2013 at 19:38

You should have linux-headers installed for every kernel version you have installed (and can see in grub-advanced menu while booting). Although check that you have build-essential package and that gcc -v runs well.

Finally, it can be an error in this package, for example it can disagree with gcc version and settings.
