Public bug reported: Hope it helps someway. Maybe others can have more success with these steps. I've had three different errors/cases for the same overall problem of trying different ways to install fglrx. Two are listed in the outline. Reference To Steps taken: http://askubuntu.com/questions/124292/what-is-the-correct-way-to-install-ati-catalyst-video-drivers-fglrx/286775#286775 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel Outline of Steps Taken ----------------------- I. Prep A. Download: amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.zip B. $ cd ~/Download C. Unzip. D. $ sudo amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/raring II. Test Install of FGLRX A. $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb B. It failed for me. Needed kernel source to compile dkms stuff. Module(s) not built. C. Purge all fglrx drivers: $ sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* III. Install Kernel Source (Ubuntu way) A. $ sudo apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r` B. $ sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r) C. $ cd /usr/src/ D. Uncompress. E. cd linux-3.8.0 F. $ fakeroot debian/rules clean G. $ fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic H. cd .. I. $ sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb J. Reboot. IV. Try Install of FGLRX Again A. $ cd ~/Download B. $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb C. It fails to compile modules. D. Try manual build of dkms: dkms build -m fglrx/8.970 E. $ cat /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.970/build/make.log ---------- FYI: The link to download the patch from the provided site is dead from post: ( DNS doesn't resolve: http://catalyst.apocalypsus.net/files/arch-fglrx-3.7.patch ) --- Bug #859101: Jelle Foks (jellefoks) wrote on 2012-11-30: #5 --- $ dkms build -m fglrx/8.970 --- Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.
