AMD Catalyst Control Center (admin) for Ubuntu

[Essence_of_War]

I ran into this problem yesterday and wanted to document it in case anyone had a similar problem.

I wanted to mess with the display manager in CCC, but it won't let you unless you launch CCC (administrative). I try to run CCC (admin) but it pops open a terminal asking for sudo password, and upon entering it, it crashes.

Great.

I try again, same result.

Figuring maybe this has something to do with GUI applications and sudo, I used gksu, of course this does not work.

On a whim, I tried launching Nautilus:

gksu nautilus

and then navigating to:

/usr/bin/fglrx

and double-clicking on "amdcatalyst".

That worked.

You do not tell us what Video card you Have,i have HD6450 and do this in Ubuntu 14.04.

sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh # (if it exists)


sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*

As a further measure I also check what else is left

dpkg -l '*fglrx*'

and

locate fglrx

I also make sure I have a correct set of open source drviers installed

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 dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

I then rebuild the the proprietary fglrx/Catalyst driver to be installable through the Restricted Hardware Driver Manager (a.k.a. jockey)

sudo apt-get install fglrx-modaliases

After these have all been completed I reboot and now the open source drviers are working AND xserver-xorg has bene rebuilt I reinstall fglrx

sudo apt-get install fglrx
