Installation of newest AMD drivers fails
I tried the steps provided on the above link since it is the closest to the steps provided by AMD in installation instructions and i am still not able to install AMD proprietary driver.
I have a dual Intel/Amd graphics on board
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Seymour [Radeon HD 6400M/7400M Series] (rev ff)
I downloaded the following packages from AMD website
$ ls
fglrx_15.201-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb
fglrx-amdcccle_15.201-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb
fglrx-core_15.201-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb
fglrx-dev_15.201-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb
Then i followed the following steps
Enable support for 32bit packages if you have a 64bit OS -
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386Install the following packages -
sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1 libc6-i386
$ sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1 libc6-i386
