Bug Description

I have just installed 14.04 today. I attempted to install the AMD drivers from their site (stable verison.) These appeared to install, but there were issues, so i removed them and attempted to install the fglrx-updates package twice. It looks like it installed both times (I did a --purge after the first.) However, the normal commands: aticonfig, amdccle, fglrxinfo do not work. Bash cannot find these files.
