[Bug 1493888] Re: FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5
I finally managed to solve my problem - it turns out to have been far simpler than expected: http://askubuntu.com/questions/692577/ubuntu-15-10-boot-hangs-when- starting-lightdm/692627#692627 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493888 Title: FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1493888/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1493888] Re: FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5
I've been installing from the main repositories, but had previously tried using the wily-proposed instances without success. However, I've tried again, using the following steps (based on reply #123): 1) Checked /etc/apt/sources.list, and it already includes the line "deb http://gb.archive.com/ubuntu wily-proposed restricted main multiverse universe" 2) Checked /etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed-updates, it exists and contains: Package: * Pin: release a=wily-proposed Pin-Priority: 400 3) Run 'sudo apt-get update 4) Run 'sudo apt-get instal --instal-suggests fglrx-updates/wily-proposed fglrx-updates-core/wily-proposed fglrx-amdcccle-updates/wily-proposed lightdm xorg ubuntu-desktop' However, following these steps, I am told "Release 'wily-proposed' for 'flgrx-' was not found", where is the remaining extension for the 3 packages. Have I managed to add the wrong repositories somehow? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493888 Title: FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1493888/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1493888] Re: FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5
I'm still having the same problem - booting to blank screen unless I purge fglrx*, lightdm and xorg to get to a command line interface. If I only try removing fglrx*, I get a window telling me that I have to set-up my graphics card, etc., but I can't progress beyond that. I've edited /etc/default/grub to try and remove the splash screen, and commented out the only line that seemed appropriate: #GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="drm.debug=0xe plymouth.debug" However, this lets me see that the system tries loading lightdm, but then falls down - at most, I get a single character cursor at the top left of the screen. All available updates are applied. An abbreviated syslog is attached, but I'm afraid I don't know how to use this to track down the problem further. ** Attachment added: "Abbreviated syslog for failed boot" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1493888/+attachment/4535114/+files/syslog-short -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493888 Title: FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1493888/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1493888] Re: FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5
I'm still have the same problems - after performing apt-get update and upgrade, installing fglrx-updates, fglrx-updates-core, fglrx-amdcccle- updates, lightdm, xorg and ubuntu-desktop, and then running amdconfig, I am greeted by a black screen upon restart (several restarts do not fix the problem). Purging fglrx*, lightdm and xorg return me to a command line interface. Even if this problem is thus isolated to be separate to the problem in this thread, I am afraid I have hit a brick wall in troubleshooting this - does anyone have any advice on how I can track down the bug (and hopefully the solution!)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493888 Title: FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1493888/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Roger Barrett, @Mathew Hodson After having purged all of these files through recovery, and getting into tty, I performed the following steps: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade (just to be sure) sudo apt-get install --install-suggests fglrx-updates/wily-proposed fglrx-updates-core/wily-proposed fglrx-amdcccle-updates/wily-proposed lightdm xorg ubuntu-desktop sudo aticonfig --initial I then looked into blacklist.conf, and couldn't see a line for blacklist amdgpu (there was one for amd76x_edac), so I added that line. I then restarted to a black screen. I restarted twice more to see if this was a problem that just required a few reboots, but no joy. I rebooted into recovery (and re-purged the installed packages, and unblacklisted amdgpu), and the output for "dmesg | grep fglrx" is attached. Are there any further potential steps I can take? ** Attachment added: "dmesg.output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1493888/+attachment/4517528/+files/dmesg.output -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493888 Title: FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1493888/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1493888] Re: FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5
Thanks, that fixed that problem - I installed fglrx-updates/wily- proposed fglrx-updates-core/wily-proposed fglrx-amdcccle-updates/wily- proposed without any further problems, and also reinstalled lightdm, xorg and ubuntu-desktop. Unfortunately, this is leading to a blank screen on start-up - I can return to tty if I drop into recovery, then into root to purge the packages again before restarting. I've got a Radeon R9 285 graphics card - are there any other potential fixes I could try to apply, or should I roll back to a 3.x kernel?

[Bug 1493888] Re: FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5
After my update, I had my computer freezing after starting lightdm. Going through recovery, I purged lightdm and xorg, so I could at least get to work with a tty terminal. After having followed the instructions on adding wily-proposed to my repository list (using only command line arguments and nano for editing), I attempted to install using the command: sudo apt-get install fglrx/wily-proposed fglrx-updates/wily-proposed fglrx-updates-core/wily-proposed fglrx-amdcccle-updates/wily-proposed However, installation could not be completed, as it complained about conflicts with fglrx-driver and xorg-driver-binary. Attempting to remove these packages, I am told that 'Virtual packages like xxx can't be removed'. Can anyone help me on where I've gone wrong? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493888 Title: FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1493888/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
