After a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 on my Dell Inspiron n5010 Laptop, I can't install the ATI drivers! How I can fix this? Because my laptop gets very hot & is too slow! the battery runs immediately! :( Gretts!

  • How you try to install it? Did you run "additional driver" application? Please post details here. – beeju May 04 '12 at 18:03

From: Dell Upgrade to 13.04 & 13.10 No wifi, graphic card driver and bluetooth Problem?

Wifi/Graphics Driver Fix

I used the commands:

sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

This worked to re-install the wifi drivers and now my wifi is working.

I was thinking maybe this will work for the graphics driver for ATI/AMD cards.

So I tried to re-install the graphics drivers and it worked.

Command for graphics fix was:

sudo apt-get remove fglrx
sudo apt-get install fglrx

Driver is activated and currently in use

As you can see, now all seems to be working.

Ddownload two .deb packages: dkms and bcmwl-kernel-source.

Install it! It is works!

Edit: the easiest way to install these packages is using apt. Open a terminal (Alt + Ctrl + T) and type:

sudo apt-get install dkms bcmwl-kernel-source

  • Either you download the .deb file and install it with "sudo dpkg -i " or you just issue the "apt-get"-command which will try to download it by itself and install it. – MadMike Jan 10 '14 at 16:25
