i used Ubuntu AMD Catalyst install and it was totally gui based. Can you elaborate What is the package name after the installation — terminator, Jul 12 '14 at 13:52

i think you are asking for this ---- AMD Catalyst™ 14.4 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver — terminator, Jul 12 '14 at 14:06
The answers at http://askubuntu.com/questions/68306/how-do-i-remove-the-proprietary-ati-drivers were written for ATI, but work equally well on AMD. — Charles Green, Jul 12 '14 at 15:01

Find the exact package name after the installation with dpkg -S [PACKAGE NAME PART] command.

Either:

sudo dpkg -S amd

Or :

sudo dpkg -S catalyst

It will list the names of the packages. Find the exact package name.

Then use the dpkg -r command to remove the package:

sudo dpkg -r [PACKAGE NAME]

EX: sudo dpkg -r amd-driver-installer

then reboot
