Title:
System failed to detect GPU.
Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10

Candidate: 1.5-0ubuntu9

I don't really know if this is an upstart bug, but it seems the
logical place to start looking.
I updated my 12.04 LTS system last evening on the basis of the
announcement on the website. To my great surprise it is not as good
as the beta which now seems to be beyond where this verson is.
The system failed to detect my GPU (ATI/AMD 780) and the DVI monitor
(1920 x 1080) whereas the beta version most certainly does and handles
it correctly. In fact, it reports to applications that there is no
accelerated 3D graphics at all, which cause my applications to not
run.
The normal driver for this chip set is fglrx, and it was not loaded by
the upgrade (nor by the beta, but that didn't seem to matter). I
forced an install of fglrx which seemed to go OK, but the AMD/ATI
control software does not detect it as installed. Furthermore,
although it appeared that the software did in fact generate the
appropirate kernel image for this, nothing happens. The system is
running in the default display for a laptop (which is utterly beyond
belief) but this is a desktop machine.
I performed the upgrade in the usual manner by using the command for
the software manager with the -d option and everything went OK for the
next couple of hours. The system restarted, but the Ubuntu desktop
failed partially, and there was no launcher and no top of screen
panel. All I could do was force a restart. I wound up in the GNOME
classic desktop which works normally. Not my choice, but there you
are.
This distrubution is not ready for people in spite of the exuberance
of the web site. For shame! My beta version runs better than this.
During the installation there were a couple of defective libraries
reported and I was able, eventually, to install them with apt. There
was also a continuous reiteration of some message about duplicate
values in some test file, which hardly seems to be proper for a final
distribution. There is a plethora of problems, and I hope this is the
only report I need make. I strongly suggest that somebody test this
again. You have now created a panic for yourselves with this
premature, untested release. Perhaps a public apology will absolve
some of this, but I think you've set back your marketing efforts
considerably.
As of now, I am moving all my data files over to the beta partition.
It is far superior to this box of bugs.
