There are many reasons why the package manager could not restore those settings, the most obvious being that the drivers may not have been installed via a package. The AMD supplied installer is a shell archive, not a deb package, though it *may* be used to create a set of deb packages. For this to be followed up it needs useful information. What are the precise steps to reproduce the problem? The forum thread does not provide that, neither does it mention the particular versions of the software involved. Most likely this is a case of user error in not following the driver removal instructions, these are documented for a reason. In the event that this is not user error and the drivers were installed using packages then the problem is in the packaging supplied by AMD. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1029898 Title: Unable to remove fglrx AMD driver properly using apt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1029898/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
