binaries installed by fglrx-amdcccle not added to PATH

[Derek Leverenz]

Binary package hint: fglrx-amdcccle

according to Synaptic "view installed files" for package "amdcccle" the binaries (amdcccle, amdupdaterandrconfig, and amdxdg-su) were installed to "/usr/lib/fglrx/bin". This is not in $PATH, and no symlinks were created to directories that were. Additionally, the .desktop files were created in /usr/share/fglrx and hence are not detected either. No man entries are present for the binaries either.

I am not sure if this is because I am using XFCE, or something specific about my system. I did try reinstalling the package, to no effect.

1)Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
   Release: 10.04
2) fglrx-amdcccle 2:8.721-0ubuntu7
3) expected binaries to be added to PATH, or symlinks to the binaries created, man pages for the binaries to be created, and the .desktop files to be created in /usr/share/applications or somewhere else the system expects .desktop files
4) binaries installed in /usr/lib/fglrx/bin, not added to PATH and no symlinks created. .desktop files created in /usr/share/fglrx/, which was not detected by the system (no entries added to the menu nor appearing in application search).

seems to have been fixed with a recent update (package version is now 2:8.721-0ubuntu10 ).

This affects KUbuntu as well, at least. I suspect it affects all branches. I've upgraded two computers which use this driver, and installed amdcccle, and it is unknown to the rest of the system. I had thought the package was just broken, but after reading this bug, I found the package in the location mentioned.

The good news is I can now get to amdcccle, but I wanted to mention that this bug is NOT fixed right now.

 Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
