Bug #1342377 with dual Radeon HD 6570 + amd-catalyst-14-4-rev2-linux-x86-x86-64-may6

[GJT]

xserver-xorg-core-lts-trusty conflicts Radeon HD 6570

All in Ubnuntu 12.04LTS I did the hardware update 'strongly recomended' and the upgrade deleted my radeon drivers. I got an unstable sparkely screen and had to return to a previous ubuntu version to fix.

I had Bug #1342377, but succeded in loading the radeon module, amd-catalyst-14-4-rev2-linux-x86-x86-64-may6, which worked fine till I updated, then I got no video at all: That's the new bug

The Update loaded the xserver-xorg-core-lts-trusty, the core server as well as xserver-comon-lts-trusty, various c library functions and Grub updates. It had a warning that it was a partial update.

There was no reference to this in ubuntu forums., or

I have an Asus M5A97R2.0 motherboard with 2 Radeon HD 6570 with 2gig of memory each running a syntax display at 1250x720 via a vga cable. It has a dvi port, but I have never bothered to update that hardware. The system is about 10 months old except for the monitor, which is 12, I think.

I also tried to run the xubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso, but got no video from the live cd at all. That'd likely be the same video conflict in the next version X windows.

GJT, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please run the following command from a terminal as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1354654

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

Hi Christopher-

I was actually still running Ubuntu 12.04. It was last July.

When I did last summer's firmware update for Linux kernel drivers I got a black screen. It would not roll back to a previous version.
==========
I then tried the 14.04 as a fresh install and only got snow with my dual Radeon HD 6570. My motherboard is Asus M5A97 R2.0 AMD 970 ATX MB.

Clearly this is itself a major bug. It is uncomplicated. It does not work.
==========

A black hole problem like these yields little post crash info.

Unfortunately, I migrated to Xubuntu due to lack of response to this
issue, which occurred occurred a year ago. I still hold back the firmware for Linux kernel drivers update on this system, which update precipitated the problem.

I became extremely agitated and made a fairly incoherent bug report. But I do hope someone figures it out before I have to migrate to another distro entirely ,

Sincerely.
