Congratulations, you are now running Catalyst drivers on your Linux system. Now once you've completed this step, reboot and check the installation using the same fglrxinfo command we discussed earlier and check the output. Use the following command to generate the file: This absolutely must be done before rebooting or you will run into some massive headaches trying to fix this problem without being able to see anything on the screen. Before rebooting, generate a new nf file.

Now this next step is very important so follow the details closely.

#Amd apu drivers linux command line install#

$ sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle

$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-genericДЄfter rebooting, install the drivers from the Ubuntu repos using the following commands. Use the following two commands to complete these tasks and then reboot before proceeding to the next step. Next, you need to purge the current fglrx files and install the Linux generic headers (if you haven't already). This file is where all of the configuration information for your input devices and output devices resides, such as video cards, monitors, keyboards and mice: The first thing we want to do is make a backup copy of the nf configuration file (if you have it) in case this ends up failing and we need to restore the previous version.

Now that we've covered how to install a driver using downloaded drivers from AMD's website, let's cover how to install the drivers using Ubuntu repositories (repos) and the command line interface. If you need to make configuration changes via AMD Catalyst Control Center you can find it in the Application OpenGL version string: 3 Compatibility Profile OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. You should get terminal output that looks something similar to the following: To confirm that the drivers are working open a terminal and type $ flgrxinfo. If all went well, the fglrx (Catalyst) driver will be installed and working on your system. After this command is finished, reboot the system. After that, run $ sudo amdconfig вЂ“initial to configure the installation.

deb files, use $ sudo dpkg вЂ“i flgrx*.deb. In Ubuntu 12.04, a package manager window may open and install some dependencies, if they are required, and create three Deb packages. $ sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-x86.x86_64.run -buildpkg Ubuntu/precise $ sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-x86.x86_64.run -buildpkg Ubuntu/trusty While still in the terminal, navigate to the folder where you downloaded the driver, and run the install package. $ sudo apt-get install dh-make dh-modaliases execstack libc6-i386 lib32gcc1 You're required to use the open source drivers): To do so, use the following command (Note: Catalyst (fglrx) isn't supported on Ubuntu 16.04. To start a manual installation of Catalyst, you must make sure you have dh-make libraries installed. These are convenient for beginners in Ubuntu who want to make sure they have a safe driver solution You can also find graphics drivers available in the Ubuntu Software Center (or Software as it's called in 16.04).
