What is the correct way to install ATI Catalyst Video Drivers?

I can not install fglrx ATI drivers/Catalyst 12.8. I have tried installing AMA Catalyst 12.8 using this guide: http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/08/install-amd-catalyst-128-on-ubuntu.html

When I reach the part of installing with sudo sh amd-driver-installer-8.982-x86.x86_64.run , I get the following error:

enter image description here

When I run it using the --force option, I get this message: enter image description here

How can I fix these errors and install Catalyst 12.8?

I resolve the problem. Catalyst 12.8 dosent support Ubuntu 12.10. You have to download and install Beta Version Catalyst.

Resolve the problem and correctly instalation Catalyst. It is a Bug.

First if you have instaled drivers pls unistal them. After this enter comand. 

sudo apt-get install linux-source
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic

After this install driver from System settings/software resources/additional drivers and select AMD graphicks accelerator

As mention on the page open terminal Ctrl+Alt+T, and;

Uninstall first the old driver with the following commands:

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

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* xorg-driver-fglrx

Install base on this page:

cd /tmp

chmod +x amd-driver-installer-8.982-x86.x86_64.run

sudo sh amd-driver-installer-8.982-x86.x86_64.run

  • Where's you file located? home or downloads? If on downloads, make sure to : cd Downloads then run back above command. – penreturns Oct 17 '12 at 04:00
  • "One or more tools required for installation cannot be found on the system. Install the required tools before installing fglrx driver. Optionally, run the installer with --force option to install without tools. Forcing install will disable AMD hardware acceleration and may make your system unstable. Not recommended. See /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log for more info." What tools am I missing? – Dominic Jordan Hasford Oct 17 '12 at 04:40
  • Check AMD Mainpage. My advice to see this first. Link 1 | Link 2 – penreturns Oct 17 '12 at 04:49
