Bug Description
[Problem]
The -fglrx driver needs updated to work against the 2.6.38 kernel, as the current version is incompatible. It also needs updated to work with xserver 1.10, which was added to Ubuntu on 1-31.
[Workaround]
For now, the only work around is to uninstall -fglrx and use the open source -ati driver, which supports 2D on all AMD cards, and 3D on nearly all of them. AMD will be providing an update to their driver eventually, which hopefully should make it in time for the natty release.
[Original Report]
This problem I have with kernel 37-12 and 38-1.
But with 37-12 startup is possible with a buggy system.
With kernel 38-1 gnome will not startup.

Don't think it's related but the day this got released my Natty stopped working. Tried everything, all kernels, fallback settings for x, reconfiguring my xserver to use radeon instead, removing fglrx (I could start without x) and so on. Nothing worked - back to 10.10 for now.

Bryce, maybe you should re-title to incompatible with xserver 1.10 as that is where the real incompatibility lies. Catalyst 11.2 works on 2.6.38 kernels.
Ryan Ritterson (rrpublic) wrote : | #6 |
With the current fglrx package version available in the repos, DKMS fails to build the module due to kernel changes removing the big kernel lock. So, as filed and as stands, the title is correct. I don't believe 11.2 is available pre-packaged in the natty repos yet.

Oh, I see. I was basing my comment off Cat 11.2. Thanks for clarification.

I installed the drivers from AMD. During the installation was an error with dkms.
Version from the repository gives the following error in the file Xorg.0.log:

@hallboy: the kernel changes you list refer to the open-source driver. A new version of Catalyst is needed (and will be released next week).

HuK (n-uzunov) wrote : | #18 |
This helped me:
Patching Catalyst 10-12 Source
(This section to be removed once Catalyst supports Xserver 1.10) Catalyst 10-12 needs patched for compliance with kernel version 2.6.37 before you can install it.
$ cd ~/; mkdir catalyst10.12; cd catalyst10.12/
$ wget http://
$ chmod +x ati-driver-
$ ./ati-driver-
$ cd driver
$ wget http://
$ wget http://
$ mv firegl_public.c common/
$ mv Makefile common/
$ sudo ./ati-installer.sh 8.801 --buildpkg Ubuntu/natty
$ cd ..
$ sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
[edit] Catalyst and Unity
At this time, Catalyst doesn't work with the new Ubuntu desktop (Unity). You can still use the classic GNOME desktop (or another desktop environment).
Daniel Letzeisen (dtl131) wrote : | #19 |
@HuK: That will only work with an older kernel than the default one in Natty. If you run an older kernel, you can use Catalyst 11.2 without patching.

Most ugly is the broken failsafe graphics at this problem, you only have a working console to fix something. Here with a juniper 5750 the failsafe graphis is restarting in an endless loop.

This start to be offtopic with the bug title, because now fglrx installs
with the 2.6.38 kernel,
so it's possible that Alberto prefers to close it and open a new one.
Latest tries I've been done with fglrx 8.840 in a up-to-date natty with
intel/Ati hybrid:
#aticonfig --px-dgpu
PowerXpress: Discrete GPU is selected (High-Performance mode), please
restart Xserver for changes to take effect!
PowerXpress: Fail to switch GLX link file, please check whether driver
install correctly
#aticonfig --px-igpu
PowerXpress: Integrated GPU is selected (Power-Saving mode), please
restart Xserver for changes to take effect!
PowerXpress: Fail to switch GLX link file, please check whether driver
install correctly
I've seen that when trying to change cards aticonfig expects
/usr/lib/
By changing it to a link, and trying again, you discover the names of
the linked files in each mode, and they are (supposed to be):
/usr/lib/
libglx.so mesa file with --px-igpu and
/usr/lib/
libglx.so with --px-dgpu
and copying/linking these files you can avoid the Fail in aticonfig.
But X keeps complaining with:

@Anton
The driver doesn't support PowerXpress yet, so those commands are expected to fail. Also by changing links to libraries you risk breaking your system.
@EricDHH
Try typing "sudo ldconfig"
Also, please attach the output of the following commads:
1) ldconfig -p | grep libati
2) update-alternatives --display gl_conf
@all
There's no need to run "aticonfig --initial" as fglrx now works even without xorg.conf.

I run a partition for test releases only. The main purpose is so when I do a distribution upgrade on my working partition there won't be any major hiccups.
If I upgrade my test partition again to Natty, will this be fixed? I don't want to go back to the drawing board again with a live Gparted.

Hello Alberto,
Finally Worked!
Yes I'know I can broke the system, but it's a natty partition for
testing, not my main install for work. Anyway, many thanks for the advice.
I've also straced X start-up, because of the Xorg errors:
libGL symbol link files sanity check failed
(EE) fglrx(0): PowerXpress: Fail to switch libGL link files.
I've found that fglrx misses links for libGL in /usr/lib/
so I've created the following:
libGL.so -> /usr/lib/
libGL.so.1 -> /usr/lib/
libGL.so.1.2 -> /usr/lib/
Apart from the abovementioned for libglx.so
And then tried X
with aticonfig --px-dgpu
X started perfectly (fglrxinfo gives ATI finally (!!!!!) running)
and then tried
aticonfig --px-igpu, with Intel running by fglrx (I've not checked if it
turns off the ATI for lowering the consumption)
Attached I enclosed both finally working Xorg logs
These links could be incorporated as slaves in the alternatives of
gl_conf? I guess...
Cheers and many many thanks for your work in having fglrx working

I installed fglrx from jockey update just 5 minutes back. Now Both 'Ubuntu' and 'Unity-2D' take me to unity 2d interface and there is no unity 3d. HELPPP!!!

I can't guarantee that Natty will work correctly on your computer. It's still in Beta 1.
@dart
Please file a separate bug report about your problem
@EricDHH
You can remove nvidia with:
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current
Also, next time please put the output of commands in a text file and attach it to the bug report (using the "Add attachment or patch" button) instead of copying and pasting things in the bug report.

Nvidia was purged, thank you. Now fglrx comes up clearly and i can use the classic desktop. For me this bug i solved.

I get this. I believe that creating those links that were mentioned would fix the problem, as I tried to link them and X started and worked right for a while (then crashed, because I think I created the symlinks wrong).
Anton said:
"I've found that fglrx misses links for libGL in /usr/lib/
so I've created the following:
libGL.so -> /usr/lib/
libGL.so.1 -> /usr/lib/
libGL.so.1.2 -> /usr/lib/
Please fix this, it causes the driver to crash on start of X if these links aren't found.

@Charles
You should not try to use PowerXpress as it's not supported. Passing either --px-dgpu or --px-igpu to aticonfig will break your system.

"aticonf --initial" is necessary if you want to check the gpu temperature (using aticonfig --odgt).

I don't know if my comment should be here or in another bug, or it there is a thread particularly for kubuntu. I just installed kubuntu 10.04 amd64, the fglrx driver 2:8.840ubuntu4. My card is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570
Composition with OpenGL does not work (under kwin), it doesn't give any description of the error. I tried aticonfig --initial and I get the error:
Fail to link to fglrx-libglx.so, please check whether driver is installed correctly
What can I do about it?
summary: |
[MASTER] fglrx failed to install/upgrade due to being incompatible with - 2.6.38 kernel + 2.6.38 kernel (error: unknown field ‘ioctl’ specified in initializer) |
Thanks for the bug report; you're the first to report this, but we knew it would eventually happen. Whenever the kernel (or xserver) receives a major update, the binary drivers need to be updated (or at least rebuilt) to support it.
In previous releases we've received an update from AMD shortly before final freeze, although I do not know an ETA for natty.
