<div>== Installing Catalyst Manually (from AMD/ATI's site) ==<br />
I recommend copying and pasting the commands to ensure there are no typing mistakes and speed up the install process. Remember to use Ctrl '''+ Shift''' + V or Shift + Insert to paste into the terminal (or go to the terminals menu, select edit and click paste).<br />
<br />
===''Before you start''===<br />
If you have previously attempted installing Catalyst, remove any leftover files by following the [[#Removing_Catalyst.2Ffglrx| Removing the Driver]] section. Make sure ''universe'' and ''multiverse'' are enabled in your repository sources (System -> Administration -> Software Sources).<br />
or Applications->Ubuntu Software Center->Edit->Software sources->Other software: check canonical partners.<br />
<br />
Install the prerequisite packages:<br />
sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases linux-headers-generic xserver-xorg-core libgcc1 libc6-i386 lib32gcc1<br />
<br />
''If you are using the x86_64 architecture (64 bit)'':<br />
1. Install "ia32-libs" before proceeding!''<br />
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs<br />
2. Create a symlink from /usr/lib64 to /usr/lib<ref>[http://ubuntucomputing.blogspot.com/2012/01/amd-catalyst-121-driver-on-hp-pavilion.html AMD Catalyst 12.1 Driver on HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Hybrid Radeon with Linux Mint 12 / Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric - Ubuntu Computing]</ref> :<br />
cd /usr ; sudo ln -svT lib /usr/lib64<br />
<br />
===''Download the latest Catalyst package.''===<br />
This package contains both the 32-bit and 64-bit driver.<br />
cd ~/; mkdir catalyst{{Catalystversion}}; cd catalyst{{Catalystversion}}/<br />
wget <nowiki>http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-</nowiki>{{Catalystdashversion}}-x86.x86_64.run<br />
chmod +x amd-driver-installer-{{Catalystdashversion}}-x86.x86_64.run<br />
<br />
===''Create .deb packages.''===<br />
sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer-{{Catalystdashversion}}-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise<br />
It may take a while...<br />
<br />
===''Install .debs.''===<br />
sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb</div>108.240.58.250
