I just installed new fglrx drivers on Ubuntu 14.04. New AMD drivers are distribution-specific, so downloaded them. Since it says they re compatible with kernel up to 3.17 version on release notes, downloaded kernel 3.17.6 version and dpkg -i
'ed it. While installing, there it says there is errors. This is the log.
So, restart computer and after log in, computer freezes. Lucky thing i can reboot, access recovery mode and select between kernels (default version on trusty is 3.13.*).
Then, I tried installing a kernel "between" 3.13 and 3.17; installed 3.15.10 and everything went fine. Tried then 3.17.0 (stable), wrong again. So I stayed on 3.16.7 and everything fine.
Anyone knows what happened with 3.17 and how to solve it? I suspect AMD meant 3.16 on release notes instead 3.16... oh, almost forgot. Here is the log of error when dpkg kernel. Is a fglrx log, same for any 3.17.*:
