@Otus: I'm surprised to hear you managed to not get the fglrx packages removed when installing the LTS enablement stack. In my case I had 14.04 and fglrx-updates (but the same happened with fglrx) installed. When I tried to start using the LTS enablement stack by installing the packages, apt-get had to remove fglrx first.
Just a heads up for everyone: DO NOT attempt to build the driver packages yourself with the drivers from the AMD website after you installed the LTS enablement stack packages. The package building process will attempt to automatically "fix" it's required dependencies, removing a load of packages WITHOUT warning, leaving you with a broken system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424491 Title: apt-get fails to install fglrx or fglrx-updates in 14.04.2 and 12.04.5 Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Activity: Install fglrx AMD driver on 12.04.5 and 14.02.2 Expected behavior: fglrx would intall Observed behavior: fglrx is not installed as follows Attempt to install fglrx fails as follows: zack3@ZACK3:~$ sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates xvba-va-driver Reading package lists...
