Public bug reported: As requested by Christopher M. Penalver, opening a separate bug for this hardware configuration as a possible duplicate of Bug #1069199
Description: After installing ATI proprietary drivers for my Radeon video card, Unity or GNOME ( I tried both) don't start anymore. LightDM shows up, and I'm able to log in, but after logging in the screen goes black, pauses and then I'm presented with the lightDM login screen again. Xserver logs indicate that the driver fglrx does not load. Reverting to the opensource version gets things working again E.g. To get back to things working I have to run $sudo dpkg --purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-dev && sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 DistUpgraded: 2013-10-18 08:24:06,128 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: saucy DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: fglrx, 8.970: added XorgLog: [ 63.002] X.Org X Server 1.14.3 Release Date: 2013-09-12 [ 63.002] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 63.002] Build Operating System: Linux 3.2.0-37-generic x86_64 Ubuntu [ 63.002] Current Operating System: Linux aodius 3.11.0-14-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 12 17:04:55 UTC 2013 x86_64 [ 63.002] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-14-generic root=UUID=a153e9f7-6ba9-4e43-85ae-951f1d3b7e38 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 [ 63.002] Build Date: 15 October 2013 09:23:37AM [ 63.002] xorg-server 2:1.14.3-3ubuntu2 (For technical support please see http://www.ubuntu.com/support) ...
