[Martin Weber (martin-karl-weber)]

Actually this is not related to a kernel upgrade, rather to fglrx upgrade. The problem is reproducible, it happens when installing fglrx 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 . I downgraded to the old version of fglrx, 2:8.960-0ubuntu1, and it works without a problem in newer and older kernels, so the bug is related to the newer version.

Harder but similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1276379
Most of us experimented "only" performances and display issues.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Igor (isj)]

Similar error for Catalyst 14.6 beta/Lenovo G510, i7, build in Intel graphics, AMD Radeon R7 M265/Ubuntu 14.04: X server do not starts after driver instalation and reboot with error "failed to open CMMQS connection".

According to http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=831#c24 it is supposed to be solved in 14.7
