it could come down to one oddly placed file or missing this or that.
#NEXUIZ INSTA INSTALL#
I think the problem lies in something to do with the kernels - on debian the nvidias seem to install with no problem. I’ve spent entire days working on my deb (squeeze, testing and Sid) ati proprietary and all for nothing… I did get it working on one using a non deb kernel but the other machines no luck. I mean not just working but working great.
#NEXUIZ INSTA DRIVERS#
What we must remember… the very same ati drivers end up working on ubuntu, and many other distros including deb and rpm based distros. It’s a good idea to purge the free drivers - hunt for them in synaptic package manager with things like nouveau and radeon… and then I think blacklist nouveau in modprobe, forget how I did that but you can look it up on … also I recall that libc.so.6 I think it’s supposed to me in the /usr/lib directory … i created a soft link of a similarly named file ending in 16… it worked to restore my ability to run firefox and some other programs that got harmed by some problem with my failure to remove iceweasel before I hand-installed Firefox. Will keep you posted on whether I got a successful install or not. After that, the buildpkg worked – leaving me with 4 packages.

After fixing this, I came to another error complaining about fglrx_gamma… I found the solution at which basically involves extracting the driver then setting a link to the package – the shell script seems to be looking for a misnamed package. To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.ĭh_shlibdeps: dpkg-shlibdeps returned exit code 2ĭpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2 Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not have any shlibs or symbols file. I note that the ait-driver-installer line needs two “-” before buildpkg.Īlso, this step failed with the following errors:ĭpkg-shlibdeps: error: couldn’t find library libc.so.6 needed by debian/fglrx-driver/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libfglrx_pp.so.1.0 (ELF format: ‘elf32-i386’ RPATH: ”). I just tried this method because I haven’t been able to get anything else to work since Squeeze went to the 2.6.30 kernel. # cp fglrx.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/kernel/drivers/char/drm/Ĭhange the current driver in /etc/X11/nf to “fglrx”Īdd the module to /etc/modules to have it start automatically upon boot up:Īnd, lastly, start GDM as root and make sure everything works.

deb packages in the current directoryĬhange to the /usr/src/modules/fglrx directoryĬopy the kernel module to the modules directory: # sh ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x86_64.run –buildpkg Debian/testing

deb packages: (change accordingly depending on which flavor you’re running) #apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) module-assistant
