Public bug reported:

I was attempting to install  install fglrx drivers for a Radeon GPU
(found here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD) and
was not able to complete the installation via the Additional Drivers
interface. After clicking on the radio button for the fglrx driver and
clicking the "apply changes" button, the system processed for a few
moments then the radio button switched back to the X.org driver without
any type of error message.
