Re: [Bug 1513928] Re: AMD Catalyst (amdcccle) - 4.2 Linux Kernel bug
Dear Christopher:
I hope you are fine today.
I've just upgraded my BIOS to 1.50, and the notebook works the same way
than before. I want to remember you that I am using the proposed fglrx
drivers rather than the released ones (
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer) (
2:15.201-0ubuntu2~15.10.2), and that is the reason why amdcccle is working
for me since I upgraded the drivers.
What else I could do now?
Best regards,
Jaime.

Fix
A Fix For AMD Catalyst On Ubuntu 15.10 Is Coming
Written by Michael Larabel in AMD on 27 October 2015 at 05:36 PM EDT. 25 Comments
While Ubuntu 15.10 launched last week, the AMD Catalyst driver hasn't been working but that's in the process of changing.
While there's been patches for letting AMD Catalyst work on Ubuntu up
through the Linux 4.2 kernel, the binary driver has ended up failing
to work on Ubuntu's 4.2 kernel as found in Ubuntu 15.10. So even right
now with a sudo apt-get install fglrx on Ubuntu 15.10, the driver will
not work.
As reported in the earlier article, users have found the workaround to
be just downgrading to the Linux 4.1 kernel where the patched Catalyst
15.9 driver then plays happy. However, this new workaround that's in
the process of landing in the Wily archive, fixes the issue by
building the fglrx driver's shim against GCC 4.9 rather than GCC 5.
Alberto Milone pushed a fixed driver into wily-proposed. "Add a
dependency on gcc-4.9, and force fglrx to use gcc-4.9. This prevents
fglrx from dying on initialisation. Credit for finding out the actual
problem and for suggesting a workaround goes to David Burrows. Note:
this is only a workaround, and it will be dropped as soon as a proper
fix from upstream is available."
This lengthy bug report details the struggle people have faced in
getting AMD's proprietary driver working on this newest Ubuntu Linux
release. If you want to get your Ubuntu 15.10 box running with AMD's
blob prior to the new update landing in the official Ubuntu package
archive, you can follow the steps for using the driver from wily-
proposed via this bug comment.
