I have the same situation as D. Hugh Redelmeier (except my Oneiric is updated from Natty) and I agree with Him in the followings :>
Is your proposed fix to nvidia-common supposed to fix jockey's handling of installing proprietary AMD drivers (fglrx)? That seems rather counter-intuitive. I have a fresh AMD64 installation of Oneiric, plus all updates (but no -proposed). Jockey fails with the message "sorry installation of this driver failed" "please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log". I have no nVidia hardware. I attached my /var/log/jockey.log (the updated driver install failure part is from beginning UNTIL 2012-01-03 13:59:54,525) The most interesting part is probably the following:> 2012-01-03 13:54:36,907 WARNING: /sys/module/fglrx_updates/drivers does not exist, cannot rebind fglrx_updates driver 2012-01-03 13:54:37,041 ERROR: xorg:fglrx_updates: get_alternative_by_name(fglrx-updates) returned nothing ** Attachment added: "jockey.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-common/+bug/873058/+attachment/2655031/+files/jockey.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873058 Title: Jockey fail to install binary ati driver (post release) version To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/873058/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
