I am very new to Ubuntu, have only been using it for 2 days. I am running 14.04
I experienced a few graphics problems while running Dota 2 (Linux version). Fps was fine but a few weird glitchy marks and lines constantly appeared. I thought to download the propriety drivers from Amd website to fix this.
After running the driver in the terminal it gave me a message about 'one or more tools missing', instructing me to go to usr/share/ati
for more info.
This is what it says:
Check if system has the tools required for installation.
fglrx installation requires that the system have kernel headers.
/lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be
found on this system.One or more tools required for installation cannot be found on the
system. Install the required tools before installing the fglrx driver.
Optionally, run the installer with –force option to install without
the tools.Forcing install will disable AMD hardware acceleration and may make
your system unstable. Not recommended.
—-Does anyone have any idea of what I must do here?
Best Answer
from the error it seems that you need to install the kernels headers. You can do that by installing the
linux-headers-generic
package.However, did you tried installing the proprietary drivers directly from ubuntu instead from the Amd website. For that (I suggest to do that since it would be automatically updated and easier) install the package
fglrx
(or if you want a more recent version usefglrx-updates
).
