Public bug reported: I just installed Xubuntu 8.0.4.1 amd64 version. I went to the Hardware rivers menu and checked the Enable box for ATI Accel graphics driver. Then it tries to download the driver and fails with error "W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/l/linux- restricted-modules-2.6.24/xorg-driver- fglrx_7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.13-18.41_amd64.deb 404 Not Found ".
Can you guys get atleast one thing right? This is disgusting. I have been a ww.linuxfromscratch.org user since 2003. Last year I tried Ubuntu 8.0.4, got totally frustrated in 6 months - something broke with every update *every single week*, console fonts were corrupt and unusable with ATI driver, no single reliable player like windows media player etc etc. I switched to Opensuse 11, got even more frustrated. Now I am back to Xubuntu with one objective - use it to rebuild my linuxfromscratch system and forget Ubuntu/Suse Crap once and for all. Is it too much to expect a release that works out of the box? I've spent more time fixing my desktop in the last one year than actually do anything productive!! Googling for the url to ATI repo yielded nothing for 20 mins in 12 attempts!! Can you guys document things more properly? The alternatives/repo is not listed in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI . By the time I get my latest and greatest chipset/mobo to work decently it will too old and be outdated. Please fix this you before I lose more time on your substandard product. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ATI restricted drivers 404 not found https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321217 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
