Bug Description
After installing Ubuntu 12.04, I went to jockey and checked for and Proprietary Drivers.
There was 2 options: ATI FGLRX Driver(
I tried installing the post-release-update one. After about 10 minutes, it said:
"Sorry, installation of this driver failed.
Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/
I went to /var/log then opened jockey.log . It was about 200 lines long(didn't know what it was talking about). So I installed the second option and it causes the system to become unstable(ugly boot screen, shutting down takes forever)

You have two separate problems here. The first is that fglrx-updates won't install. This is common, since that package is broken right now: https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/bugs/ 949641
Since 12.04 was just released, fglrx and fglrx-updates both use the same version of Catalyst at the moment, and this is not really anything more than an annoyance.
The second one is that fglrx is taking a while to shut down (ugly boot screen is a common issue with proprietary video drivers and there are workarounds if you google for them).
