[Bug 1511301] Re: Failed to upgrade fglrx from 14.502 to 15.200 on Trusty.

 

looks like purge flgrx reinstall did the trick. screen finally looks and
behaves normally. HAPPY DANCES

however sound is still completely gone. that's what sent me in the first
place to try the open source driver that crashed everything ..  did
search through ask ubuntu and found people with different machines all
having similar problems with system wide sound issue and no solutions so
far. my sound works fine in my windows partition so it's not a hardware
thing. is sound a fglrx thing? is this yet a different bug?

thanks everyone for your help and all the ubuntu gods for software
creation and sorting bugs and such.

Bug description:
  SRU Request:

  [Impact]

  Upgrading from the upstream fglrx driver packages to the packages in
  the Ubuntu repository fails because the /etc/ati directory is a real
  directory instead of being a link (which was common in the Ubuntu
  packages).

  [Test Case]
  1. Install the fglrx driver (14.502) in Ubuntu 14.04 generating deb packages from the AMD installer 
  2. Upgrade the package to the current ubuntu release.
  3. Check the apt-get output 

  Expected results: the fglrx module should be updated correctly.

  Actual results:
  The update fails as described below.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low. The change only affects a migration from a specific release.

  
  ______________________________________
  Note that the fglrx 14.502 package name is fglrx_14.502-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb, which is from AMD's site, not from Ubuntu repository.
