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

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Hey uk9jey,

Hi, thanks for reporting this issue during the development period of
Ubuntu.

I notice there's not been further comments to the bug report since the
release came out, would you mind updating us on the status of it in the
release?

Are you still able to reproduce the issue? If not, do you think the bug
report can be closed, or do you think we should continue tracking it?

[bugbot (bugbot)]

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.

[Jelle Foks (jellefoks)]

For kernel 3.7, the solution reported here worked for me:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1176870#p1176870

Download the patch and apply:

$ cd /usr/src/fglrx-9.010.8
$ sudo patch <~/Downloads/arch-fglrx-3.7.patch

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Copying info from my duplicate bug. This is perfectly reproducible everywhere, so this is triaged.

As detected by ubuntu-driver-common's autopkgtest [1], current fglrx fails to build on saucy.

file: /lib/modules/3.9.0-2-generic/build/include/linux/version.h
---------- 8< -------------

/lib/modules/3.9.0-2-generic/build/include/linux/ exists, but there is no "version.h" in there. linux-headers-3.9.0-2 and linux-headers-3.9.0-2-generic are both installed.

Other DKMS modules like bcmwl or nvidia work, so it seems there isn't something generally broken with DKMS. If version.h is supposed to exist, but was forgotten to be installed by the kernel, please reassign to linux.

Thank you!

Actually not, I'm sorry. Daniel mis-duplicated my report.

[Vertago1 (vertago1)]

I need a work around because my card is not supported by the mainstream driver I have to use this one: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/RadeonHD7790CatalystPerformanceDriver.aspx
I built the packages for raring but they don't install because of this:

@Vertago1, that page/link is outdated and gives an outdated driver. The current version of Catalyst should work fine: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Raring_Installation_Guide#Installing_Catalyst_Manually_.28from_AMD.2FATI.27s_site.29

[Frederik Schubert (byf-ferdy)]

From the current AMD catalyst download page:

"[386511] Fixes kernel module build failure with kernel 3.9.1"

So it should be fixed in version 13.11 of the driver

[Joe le Kiffeur (joelekiffeur)]

Is an Ubuntu 12.04 update will be concerned?

[Richard Eames (naddiseo)]

The bug is still present with ubuntu 13.10:

[Joe le Kiffeur (joelekiffeur)]

No fix?

[Kintoki (kintokilewd)]

I have this on the kernel 3.8.0-34-generic.

[John Levin (jkg-levin)]

I have this on kernel 3.8.0 - 35- generic
"Check if system has the tools required for installation.
fglrx installation requires that the system have kernel headers. /lib/modules/3.8.0-35-generic/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system."

[Olivier V (forum-viennet)]

Hi,

Same problem in Ubuntu 14.04 with amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64

No solution for making my mobility Radeon HD 4650 work with 14.04 ...

[Robert M. Muncrief (rmuncrief-9)]

Same problem on Ubuntu 14.04.2. Can't install fglrx for HD3300. version.h is missing. The worst part is that the default drivers are very slow and trying to run a virtual machine with them is almost impossible. I hope this can be fixed, it seems it's been a problem for a long time.

[Willem (jesperswillem)]

Hello,

Sadly I also encounter the same problem for HD 3690/3850, I am running Ubuntu 14.10.

[Won1der (won1der)]

Same happened for me. HD 4550, Ubuntu 14.10

[Clay Figley (cafigley85)]

Just for redundancy, Mobility Radeon HD 42xx, Ubuntu 14.04.2
Is there anything I can do to help resolve this?
I've uploaded every bit of info available to a report here: http://goo.gl/XIrDp7
Anyone with know-how may want to check it out.

I'm going to update my system; there are some AMD drivers in my updates list.
I'll be watching this post.
If there's anything I can do to assist a more advanced user by replicating this problem, I'd be glad to help!

[Sergey (gavrilenko925)]

There is one way - it's change your videocard from amd to nvidia

1. is the 4200 an onboard card, as is mine 3300 also
2. why throw a working system away and change something?
3. and the FUCK why pay for 4 GB and get only 3,5 GB working as on the Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 ???

Sorry for the harsh words, but ....

I can confirm this is still present on trusty 14.04 kernel 3.13, tested with fglrx 8.970(catalyst 13.1)

[Sergey (gavrilenko925)]

Just update your version to 15.04, and your problem will solve. You could
found it in additional drivers
