[Bug 1424491] Re: apt-get fails to install fglrx or fglrx-updates in 14.04.2 and 12.04.5

 

They STILL haven't fixed something as fundamental as this?! It must
affect all AMD graphics users with post Radeon 4000 series. How on earth
do Canonical expect to succeed in any market when something as basic as
installing a bloody graphics driver isn't possible or promptly fixed?
And as always from Canonical, NO communication. So amateurish!
