[Bug 1198442] Re: package fglrx (not installed) failed to install
This bug occurs on Ubuntu 14.04 as well, which is what I'm running. But
for some reason the bug utility will only let me report it on this
thread.
I already knew that the Catalyst 15.2 beta drivers didn't work, that's
why I never moved to Ubuntu 15.04. The last working drivers are Catalyst
14.12. I use Cairo Dock and the 15.2 drivers cause freezing and
jittering in the dock, and random crashes elsewhere.
I accidentally installed them because I guess they've just been
backported to Ubuntu 14.04. Please remove them from the repositories
until they are officially available from AMD. I always have problems
with the pre-compiled fglrx drivers but when I compile them myself they
always work. I can't do that with the Catalyst 15.2 drivers because for
some reason only the Ubuntu developers have them. Very strange, and
unwise.
If someone wants to move these comments to a 14.04 thread for this
identical bug please do, I wasn't able to do so myself.
