Bug Description
After installing ATI proprietary drivers for my Radeon video card, Unity doesn't start anymore. LightDM shows up, and I'm able to log in, but Unity doesn't load.
Obs: The same occurs when installing fglrx package (if I choose it, instead of fglrx-updates).
Potential duplicate of bug https:/
WORKAROUND: Removing the package fixes the problem, getting back to the opensource driver (ati).

It's a ATI Radeon HD 7700M.
Actually, I found that I'm running Intel (i915) driver for acceleration (my video setup is hibryd - it's a notebook with onboard and dedicated cards). The FOSS driver (radeon) is detected by Xserver, but acceleration got disabled (I guess my card isn't supported).
Once I install fglrx driver, I got the following error from X:
[ 3.252] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/
As far as I've read around, this is a imcompatibility between Xserver 1.13 and the upstream Linux driver from ATI. Latest version (9-beta) says to be compatible fully with Ubuntu 12.10, but it seems it actually isn't.
I don't wanna try to downgrade Xserver, as it is probabily going to break my system. Is there any option but waiting the upstream driver to be fixed?
Thanks.

I have a similar problem. If I install the fglrx or fglrx-update proprietary ATI Radeon driver, I'm able to log in but Unity doesn't load. Removing the proprietary driver fixes the issue.
This is the output of lspci -v | grep vga

Another point to be noted is that this problem only exists with Ubuntu. I tried installing xubuntu and lubuntu with the proprietary drivers and they worked great so I'm not too sure about ATi drivers being incompatible with the Xorg version.

with the radeon driver the fan was really loud, the laptop was overheating and the battery was draining fast. Then I tried fglrx but unity wouldn't load(only the wallpaper and the mouse) so what I did for now is:
Remove fglrx and use opensource radeon
Use switcheroo (https:/

I also have this problem, but only if I use the integrated GPU.
If I use the discrete GPU, this problem is not there.
I am not very sure about this statement, I'm in the process of
debugging also this, but one thing at a time :D

Till the fixes are not in the official packages you have to keep my

As soon as these fixes go into the official packages I will delete the
unneeded packages and you can remove my PPA from your repositories

Yes I can confirm that. It only does it with the intergrated card.

Really this still isnt fixed? I just installed 12.10, tried both fglrx and fglrx-updates installed from software sources and unity woudnt start with either.
Using a ATI 6850.

I just installed fglrx. Broke my system with this bug, and now I cannot go back to my previous state. That's not the way to go to reach linux beginners. Hope Mir fixes some of these problems.

same problem with fglrx-update. Ubuntu 64bit 13.04 kernel 3.9.4, HD6470M. It was quite difficult to make again ubuntu working although I removed all fglrx packages and reinstalled the libgl1-mesa-dri, xservice-
Luigi R. (xluigi84) wrote : | #104 |
@Zisu: here is what I did to make it working again
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-
sudo apt-get install xserver-
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xserver-
If unity does not start check if the unity plugin is active in compiz:
run ccsm in the terminal, activate unity and solve all the conflits.

I think this is not a duplicate of the bug #1068404. In some cases between fglrx updates the login prompt appears but unity does not start after logging in. However logging in as a guest user (with fresh configuration) works. Also removing all configuration from user's homedir (forcing reset) also brings back to desktop.
This is not the same bug, because the poster clearly states that the lightdm login prompt appears. This means X does not crash at startup. If you look at the bug #1068404, it is clearly stated that the X crashes at startup and it is a different bug.
Evren Yurtesen (eyurtese-g) wrote : | #106 |
I fixed the issue by:
After logging in and nothing appears, change to a console terminal and login as same username, then execute
export DISPLAY=:0
dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
unity --reset-icons
This will reset all settings...

I think the duplicate status is wrong.
I think this is NOT a duplicate of bug #1068404 because **this** bug has the error:
[ 593.127] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/
or in other words it can't load the fglrx driver while bug #1068404 does NOT have that issue.
So to be clear - this bug relates to the module fglrx driver is NOT loading which results in X crashing.
The other bug looks like it loads the module fglrx but X crashes for other reasons.
Seems like a completely different root cause therefore should be a different bug.
I am also affected by this bug #1069199 and am running
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_
DISTRIB_
DISTRIB_
I downloaded and built
sudo sh ./amd-driver-
After doing the install and rebooting I get EXACTLY the same results and have the same error messages as the original bug reporter for this bug when I install the fglrx proprietary drivers. I was hoping to load the AMD drivers because I wanted to get sound out of the HDMI port. I'm running with the following hardware on an HP 8530w.
The opensource versions run perfectly for video with both the VGA and HDMI ports, but I can't get sound out of the HDMI port too and read that the only solution is to upgrade to the proprietary fglrx drivers.
$ lspci | grep -i Radeon
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV635/M86 [Mobility Radeon HD 3650]
01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV635 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 3600 Series]
Symptons:
1) lightdm prompt appears
2) Login succeeds
3) screen goes blank and then login screen appears again.
The following (I think relevant) error messages appear in Xorg.0.log and mark this as different than the other bug.
[ 699.570] (II) LoadModule: "fglrx"

Edson, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-
apport-collect -p fglrx-installer
Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.
Thank you for your understanding.

Some notes which might help various people.
AMD Catalyst (fglrx) 13.1 was released in January 2013 and brought official support for X.Org Server 1.13 and "production support" for Ubuntu 12.10.
Anyone with AMD Radeon HD 7xxx graphics and wanting to use the open-source driver instead of fglrx will need at least kernel 3.9, although it is faster with later kernels. Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" is based on the 3.11 kernel.
Although support for hybrid graphics arrived in the 3.5 kernel (when used with xserver 1.13), runtime power management support was not enabled on ATI/AMD Radeon graphics hardware until the 3.13 kernel - it has support for dynamically powering down discrete GPUs on PowerXpress systems - see http://
Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" now has the 3.13.0-12.32 kernel.
What kind of video card do you have? Use this command if unsure:
lspci | grep VGA
