This happened when I tried to follow the instructions here http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide I had to do the manual install. Things went wrong and for some reason synaptic uninstalled some packages, it even tried to uninstall the graphical frontend, Mythubuntu. It appeared that at the end of the instructions (sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite xorg-driver-fglrx_8.471-0*.deb fglrx-kernel-source_8.471-0*.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.471-0*.deb) it couldn't find a shared library libGL.so.1 even though I had it installed in /lib32 and /lib64. I copied a link from one of those to the /lib folder and it appears to be ok now.
I'm trying to get hardware acceleration enabled on my graphics card without much success but at least fglrxinfo is showing the proprietary name of my graphics card now. When you say you want a copy of my log, how do you want it attached and where?
