Can't make the demanded packages after upgrading to 8.10

[white_eagle]

Hi,

I am in trouble because I don't have 3D acceleration after I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10. :(

I can't build the packages for the proprietary drivers (8.12 and I also tried with 8.11 - the only 2 that support Intrepid) for my ATI Radeon Xpress 200M integrated chip on my laptop, here's what I get when I try to build them (this is the older 8.11 release, but the same happens with the newer one too ): http://pastebin.com/f7991078c

Too long if I try to paste it here, sorry

And I also get this when I try to run glxgears and/or anything that demands acceleration (either 2D or 3D):

 whiteeagle@whiteeagle-laptop:~$ glxgears glxgears: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory whiteeagle@whiteeagle-laptop:~$

Here is the dir listing of /usr/lib/libGL:

whiteeagle@whiteeagle-laptop:~$ ls /usr/lib/libGL*/usr/lib/libGLEW.so.1.4    /usr/lib/libGL.so    /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1
/usr/lib/libGLEW.so.1.4.0  /usr/lib/libGL.so.1  /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3.070200
/usr/lib/libGLEW.so.1.5    /usr/lib/libGLU.a
/usr/lib/libGLEW.so.1.5.0  /usr/lib/libGLU.so
whiteeagle@whiteeagle-laptop:~$*

Thanks very much guys, I hope we'll find a solution ;)

On my system libGL.so and libGL.so.1 are both symlinks to libGL.so.1.2. Looks like you are missing libGL.so.1.2

Do a: dpkg -S libGL.so

libgl1-mesa-dev: /usr/lib/libGL.so
libgl1-mesa-glx: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
libgl1-mesa-glx: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2

and reinstall the broken package.

8-11 is completely broken with the packageing, 8-12 is better. For 8-11 use:

http://kanotix.com/files/install-fglrx-debian.sh

like this:

sh install-fglrx-debian.sh -v 8-11

by default it installs 8-12.

Doesn't work.

I get the following output after the script from ati.com is downloaded:

[Warning] Uninstall : inst_path_default or inst_path_override
 does not exist in /etc/ati.  This suggests that the ATI driver
 is not installed, the ATI driver is only partially installed,
 or the current ATI driver installed is an older version than the
 one this script was designed for.  Both files listed above are
 required for determining where installed files are located.
 To force uninstallation of the driver by guessing where the
 uninstallation files are located, set the FORCE_ATI_UNINSTALL
 environment variable and re-run ./fglrx-uninstall.sh (this is not recommended)

Help please

I did what you asked for me to do and get the following output:

libgl1-mesa-glx: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2

Is this okay? Now what package should I reinstall? The drivers cannot be built as I said, I searched and found several people with the same problem but their solutions didn't work or they didn't even find a solution: here, here and here.

Please reply

I never had that issue, but you can try

export FORCE_ATI_UNINSTALL=1

/usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh

To uninstall it completely before. Something seems to be broken in your system.

Sorry I didn't quite get what you were trying to tell me. Were you telling me I should edit fglrx-uninstal.sh and add that line at the end of it?

Now we're talking

UPDATE:

After installing the libgl1-mesa-swx11 package (and it removed some other packages) I finally have gotten glxinfo to work (which took care of libgl.so.1), and it spits out this:

and I also recently found out that nVidia drivers were installed!!! I don't know how that happened but I hope after removing them, building will finally work.

I will update this after I do that.

[Kano]

You don't install xserver-xgl, ergo you can not reconfigure it, it is xserver-xorg which creates the xorg.conf if none is there.

[white_eagle]

Nevermind everyone I solved it by removing the nVidia drivers, and reseting to mesa, and after that I installed the ATI drivers 'the Ubuntu way' rebooted, reverted to a working backup of xorg.conf which I used in the past, running aticonfig --initial and rebooting.

Now I get this when I run fglrxinfo in terminal:

As is to me, this question is resolved.
