Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

From the installation log for the fglrk module I see this:

DKMS make.log for fglrx-8.723.1 for kernel 2.6.38-10-generic (x86_64)
mer 8 giu 2011, 17.18.14, CEST
AMD kernel module generator version 2.1
cat: /lib/modules/2.6.38-10-generic/build/include/linux/utsrelease.h: File o directory non esistente

It looks like the kernel headers required for building the fgrlx module are not present.

Could you please try running this command in a terminal (press ctrl-alt-t to open a terminal):

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.38-10-generic

Once this has installed, try reinstalling fglrx, it should build correctly this time.

Please let me know whether this helps with your problem.

Thanks!

Hello,

Here is one more thing to try: try uninstalling fglrx, from the terminal type:

sudo apt-get remove fglrx

then reboot, and try installing again using the additional drivers tool.

If it fails or you get an error message, please attach the /var/log/jockey.log file so I can see what the error was.

Thanks!
