UP8: Cant install fglrx after update

Post by faser »

Well apparently something messed up big time here.
Uninstalled fglrx, Updated from up7 to up8, followed every instruction to the letter.
Reboot.
radeon comes up.
install fglrx.
Reboot.
Kernel panic at 0.20000s, random error messages each time, totally corrupted.

Had to chroot to uninstall fglrx for it to work again.

The last thing i did now was try sgfxi but except from not getting a kernel panic i'm stuck in the login as mdm canf find libGL.so.1.
Inbetween i got a lot of ld-linux-x32.so.1 protection errors while amd's installer was updating the initrd img.
Removed everysingle x32 package and that seemed to fix that, but still couldnt fin libGL.so.1 which was at /usr/lib64/.
Added /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 to the ld.so conf file and that fixed that but now mdm will only show a black screen in 640x480 and the mouse pointer.
Blacklisted uvesafb, vga16fb and vgsstate and used aticonfig to generate the xorg.conf file and then xorg said fglrx module couldnt be found, which was true as /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/fglrx was empty

Any idea? I consider myself quite a experienced linux user but i ran out of ideas here.
And the worse thing is minecraft runs pretty well with radeon but randomly crashes in fullscreen u.u

Nothing out of normal, only have the playonlinux repo and compiz gotten from the sid snapshop.
Ati Radeon HD6950, running from a 4hdd mdadm raid5 which was originally installed in a usb drive while i tested LMDE there to see if it had any serious bug with my machine and then moved to the raid.

Usually libGL.so.1 issues were solved by reinstalling the package that contains it:

Code: Select all

$ apt contains libGL.so.1
libgl1-mesa-glx:i386: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
libgl1-mesa-glx:i386: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0
libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0

Code: Select all

apt install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx

I'll try that, but i fixed that adding the paths to the ld.so.conf file.And wouldn't that be replacing fglrx's libGL.so file with mesas's
