I have downloaded the proper driver from the web but every time I try to open, it says not responding or will open in gedit, take forever to load, then say there was an error.

In the driver file it's marked as run as program. Am i missing something?

I believe I figured it out. .run has to be run through terminal. I tried installing from the terminal and got the following results:

  • I will follow this in detail tonight. I haven't come across this tutorial yet. – Maverin1 Apr 13 '15 at 17:20
  • So that tutorial doesn't really say much. It says download the driver and install and thats the problem i'm running in is that it won't install it. It opens gedit then freezes and occasionally very slowly installs until it errors. – Maverin1 Apr 14 '15 at 01:09
  • I believe i figured it out. .run has to be run through terminal? – Maverin1 Apr 14 '15 at 01:21
  • Well i tried installing and go the following (put in answer as too much text) – Maverin1 Apr 14 '15 at 01:28

Solved - So apparently there is a OS package error or something in 14.04? I followed the whopping three commands halfway through this page (below) and everything seems to be working fine.

Commands from above link:

sudo apt-get install libcheese*

sudo apt-get install xorg-video-abi-15

sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates
