I'm getting the following error after upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 beta. Even with daily patch updates, it hasn't resolved itself so I'm putting it out there.

Ubuntu 12.04 beta Compiz error: Fatal: couldn't open display :0

Basically: When i boot up, the screen shows the Ubuntu loading briefly, for a seconds and then drops to a terminal login screen.

I have an ATI card, used to have my own compiled driver installed on 11.10, not sure if that was overwritten by the upgrade.

update

when trying to install the fglrx driver I get an error similar to this: (I can't screenshot or copy paste in the console, so I'm writing it out on a different computer:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.960-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--unpack):

subprocess error satus 1

  • This question should instead be filed as a bug report, thanks! Instructions here. Apr 23, 2012 at 15:35
  • but I can't 'continue' because it is trying to open a browser session... hopefully the relevant info has been sent nonetheless.

  • You should probably reask a new question about the AMD driver problem you're having. Apr 23, 2012 at 18:22
  • Thanks, but I managed to force uninstall it. There seemed to have been some checksum issues and it didn't want to uninstall it automatically. I have regained a basic GUI access, with the Gallium driver, but still haven't been able to get the ATI driver working. I'll keep trying.
