The solution mentioned in #24 is working for me. I have a Toshiba Satellite L750D notebook and an AMD A6-3400M APU in it. Unfortunately after a fresh Ubuntu 14.04.2 install the default X.Org driver doesn't work for me since I always get balck screen after Ubuntu having booted. So after the installation I wanted to change to the AMD fglrx driver to solve the X.Org driver related balck screen issue, but I also run into the problem this bug about. The steps worked for me were the followings:
1. A fresh Ubuntu 14.04.2 install. 2. Run the "sudo apt-get install libcheese*" command in the terminal. 3. After "sudo apt-get install libcheese*" finished it's work run "sudo apt-get autoremove" to remove unneeded packages. 4. Rebot the system (now I didn't get balck screen at the normal boot) 5. On the Ubuntu Software Center's Edit > Software Sources ... > Additional Drivers tab select one fo the fglrx related option and hit Apply Changes. 6. After the fglrx driver installation has finished restart the system again. -- 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...
