3870 gutsy amd64 probs

[hmmm]

After a hiatus from the forums which has culminated in the click o' death on my IBM Deskstar (due to Microsoft Patch Tuesday + Vista....) I'm back to my gusty amd 64 install (while cringing that I have to return to vista soon...)

Grabbed latest fglrx and installed - installs fine but:

fglrxinfo

OpenGL version string 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.1)

Revert to the old way of installing (ie sh ati.. --builpkg Ubuntu/7.10

and installing xorg-driver-fglrx resulys in:

Failed to install pkg:

dpkg: error processing xorg-driver-fglrx

trying to overwrite /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1, which is also in package ia32-libs

any idea why???

Run:

[hmmm]

thanks - any way to force that script to detect a local copy of the fglrx - what directory do the catalyst get dl to?

[Kano]

Put it in /usr/src - then it does not dl it again.

[hmmm]

run script - gets stuck in same place


dpkg: error processing xorg-driver-fglrx

trying to overwrite /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1, which is also in package ia32-libs

Had the same problem. I forced dpkg to install nonetheless, which of course is more than just ugly. No ill consequences till now and removing the forced package and reinstalling ia32-libs should undo the damage - but well, it's... ewwwwww.

Well looks like a packageing error, added a force option now. Reload script.
