Kernel 3.19.0-26.28 was pushed as a security update to all Ubuntu users today (it is no longer in the, disabled by default, "proposed" repository). This means all FGLRX users on Vivid (and those that installed 14.04.2) will lose their graphical environment as soon as they reboot.
The only workaround is to select the former kernel in Grub. Patching the DKMS module manually is possible, but we can't expect the typical Ubuntu user to do such a thing. I don't know who is to blame, but I hope I'm not the only one to think this is a serious situation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1479913 Title: SRU request: fglrx.ko fails because of backported GPL-only 'pci_ignore_hotplug' symbol To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1479913/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
