My laptop is R510IU-LSFX with AMD Radeon R7 Graphics Processor. I installed AMD graphic drivers for ubuntu 18.04 LTS according to this link
As it is mentioned in the link, I performed these commands in sequence:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386
sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386
Note: I got some "package not found or not downloaded" errors during these commands.(but ignored)
then I rebooted to apply changes. but I faced the screen below which the system was stuck there for hours: stuck screen
I fortunately solved it by passing 'nomodeset' as command but when I entered Desktop, everything was big. Here are the things I have done but couldn't solve:
"Software and updates" --> "Additional Drivers": but no additional drivers available.
settings --> devices --> display: the only resolution available is 800*600
i tried the solutions in this question but i face the response below on first command:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'fglrx-pxpress' for regex 'fglrx.*'
Note, selecting 'fglrx-updates-core' for regex 'fglrx.*'
Note, selecting 'fglrx-glx' for regex 'fglrx.*'
Package 'fglrx-updates-core' is not installed, so not removed
Package 'fglrx-glx' is not installed, so not removed
E: Unable to locate package fglrx-amdcccle.*
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'fglrx-amdcccle.*'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'fglrx-amdcccle.*'
How can i roll back the changes or get the optimal resolution??
I would really really appreciate your help.
Looking for your solutions.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-radeon
and removing the nomodeset option. I don't think the flgrx* packages are available in 18.04 – NikolaiDante Mar 08 '20 at 21:46ppa-purge ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa
, but really, there is no roll back, roll up, or roll anywhere thing in Ubuntu. In caseppa-purge
doesn't work, reinstall, and next time, think twice before adding testing PPAs. – mikewhatever Mar 08 '20 at 22:20
