HP Pavilion dv7 6140 oe
Graphic card AMD Radeon HD6770M
OS
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
kde4-config --version
Qt: 4.8.1
KDE Development Platform: 4.8.5 (4.8.5)
kde4-config: 1.0
Kernel
Linux jans 3.2.0-38-generic #61-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 19 12:18:21 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
History
Proprietary driver has been working flawlessly, until Kernel upgrade, see above.
Symptom
After reboot of the new kernel, black screen with only CMD prompt
Steps taken
(bear with me thou I know very little how to procede)
After black screen
some information segmentation fault at 0x41
step
'Sudo mv -T /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.disabled
sudo shutdown -r now
After that, I'm back in business but on Xorg radeon
Followed "Ubuntu Precise Installation Guide - cchtml.com"
7) Removing Catalyst/fglrx
The uninstall script in the first command will only exist if you downloaded the drivers and installed them directly (rather than building packages as this guide does). Skip the first command if it does not exist.
sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*
If you plan on using open-source drivers, you will need to reinstall some packages because Catalyst overwrites or diverts some key 3D libraries with proprietary versions. For more information on this issue, see this Ubuntu wiki page
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
sudo rm -rf /etc/ati
and reeinstalled according above guide
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
amdconfig --initial -f
reboot black screen.
fglrxinfo nothing
fglxinfo 0 0
Panic!!!!!
Clean install, after have saved away home directory
updating system, restart
installed proprietary driver
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
amdconfig --initial -f
reboot
