[SOLVED] install ATI Driver on 32bit and 64bit help Plz

Hi All

I am a win7 user and look to go to linux.

I have download Zorin OS 6 Core 32bit and 64bit version

I have test them on my 16Gb USB Pen and HDD, they run both fine on my Big PC and Laptop

But I now have a Problem. I am trying to install ATI Driver on 32bit and 64bit

It keep crashing, My ATI card Radeon HD 5850

http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/10/install ... river.html

I have look at lot of YouTube video, on how to install ATI with NO like.

Can you help.

Hi,

open a terminal and paste this command:

sudo apt-get install fglrx

then restart your PC, let us know if this helps.

Regards Wolfman

Thank Wolfman

My pen and HDD will not boot up after install the Driver

Now reformat my 16gb Pen with Universal USB Installer ISO.32bit version web page.

When I boot the pen with OS, do I install the Ati driver 1st or do I need to install fglrx?

Or do you recommend other way to install Ati driver

thank

Hi,

try starting your PC in recovery mode and select "Drop to root shell prompt". You can then add the command and it should install at that level. YOU MUST ACTIVATE "NETWORK" BEFORE YOU DROP TO ROOT. A cable connection only, do not try and use Wifi!!.

sudo apt-get install fglrx

Thank Wolfman

NO recovery mode with Pen or HDD

Now restart oven, 16gb pen now ready with Zorin OS 6 Core 32bit with NO Ati Driver install

I have follow instructions from the web site http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/10/install ... river.html But it did NOT work!

Do you recommend other way to install Ati driver will work Zorin OS 6 Core 32bit

I am NOW stuck

Hi,

if you cannot see a recovery menu, you must press "Esc" as soon as the PC starts which will change the menu and you should see "Recovery" as the 2nd option in the list, do oyou have Windows installed too??.

Try my method for installing the drivers instead of the link as it is easier!!.

WM I think he has a live USB. This is why he does not see a grub menu.

Other than that, if you want my opinion it is better to keep the open drivers for ATI. And I can tell him how to get better temps.

Hi MV,

yes! I think you are right, it just dawned on me and I was about to explain that to him.

If you are using a "Live CD", you will not have a recovery menu!!. if you have an installed version with only Linux, then press "Esc". You cannot install the drivers to a live CD!!!.

Thank Wolfman & madvinegar
