@nikolausbooth: Version 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu2 contains the fix while you're using 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu1 @jurrabi You should wait until the server that you're using gets the new packages. -- package fglrx (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/etc/ati/signature', which is

@jweaver28 You didn't provide a log or any kind of evidence that what you're experiencing is relevant to the problem discussed in this bug report You could just boot in recovery mode, drop to the command line with networking support, type jockey-text -d fglrx and reboot. Things should be back to

Sorry, Alberto, I can't get into recovery mode. From what I remember, recovery mode is an option after the logon screen, and the video craziness starts just before the logon screen. I suppose I could boot from a karmic cd, but where would I look for the log? IMHO, a can't start bug is worse than

@jweaver28 You can access the grub menu by holding the shift key immediately after turning on your computer (after the bios). You'll be able to enter Recovery mode from there. -- package fglrx (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/etc/ati/signature', which is also

Sorry folks that I'm not technically proficient enough to specify where the new fglrx I installed and rebooted last night REALLY messes my system up. I do see that my ubuntu boot is of the lucid flavor, but after the splash screen starts (and gets as far as the word UBUNTU and five dots below), I
