Bug Description
After coming across with this info https:/
Installation of fglrx drivers for my Radeon M260 in my laptop with Ubuntu Gnome 14.04.3 LTS
$ sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates xvba-va-driver
.
.
.
Installation finished with no errors or warnings
$ sudo reboot
After Gnome loading screen (before log in) boot stops with following messages in intermitten screen followed by "[OK]" at the end of each line:
* Starting atieventsd [OK]
saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned
* Starting network connection manager
* Restoring resolver state
* Starting crash report submission daemon
* Stopping System V runlevel compatibility
After reboot, same info displayed plus:
* Stopping cold plug devices
* Stopping log initial device creation
* Starting save vdev log and update rules
* Stopping save vdev log and update rules
After new reboot this long message:
* Starting automatic crash report generation
* Starting ACPI daemon
* Starting configure virtual network devices
* Stopping restore sound card state
* Stopping anac(h)ronistic cron
* Starting cups-browsed -- Bonjour remote printer *illegible in my notes* daemon
* Stopping save kernel messages
* Starting regular background program processing daemon
* speech-dispatcher disabled; edit /etc/default/
* Starting network connection manager
* Starting atieventsd
saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned
After fourth reboot the first message repeated
I managed to boot into text mode editing grub's ubuntu entry and attempted:
$ sudo apt-get remove fglrx-updates
.
.
apt-get will INSTALL fglrx-core
.
.
Removal and installations finish with no errors or warnings
$ sudo reboot
Same problem
Back into text session
$ sudo startx
Can't boot into gui mode: xinit connection to xorg lost (or something similar)
$ sudo apt-get remove fglrx-core
.
.
apt-get will INSTALL fglrx-updates (At this point I'll admit I cried a bit)
.
.
NO!
Abort
$ sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
.
.
.
.
Big removal completed
$ sudo startx
Finally able to boot into gui
