83.77.193.82: /* creating deb packages error */ new section

{{Talkpages}}

Could you guys change the font for command line examples? It's very hard to differentiate between letter L and number 1
That's why you copy and paste to ensure command correctness ;) --[[User:Dtl131|Dtl131]] 23:33, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

This page needs some formatting help, but I'm out of time tonight. --[[User:Dtl131|Dtl131]] 23:33, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

== creating deb packages error ==

Since 12.11 resp. 13.1 creating deb package gives an error. The reason for the error is a typo in the rules file of the driver. Here is a possible solution done on Ubuntu 12.04. For other distro versions go to the corresponding folder of the extracted driver (see below):

Go to the directory where you downloaded the driver. Extract the driver to e.g. "~/AMD_v13.1" directory
<pre>$sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-beta11-x86.x86_64.run --extract ~/AMD_v13.1
</pre>
Go to the directory AMD_v13.1
<pre> cd ~/AMD_v13.1
</pre>
Go to the directory of your Ubuntu distro with the "rules" file and make a copy. Here for Ubuntu 12.04 precise.
<pre>
$ cd packages/Ubuntu/dists/precise
$ sudo cp rules rules.bak
</pre>
Open "rules" with writing privileges, e.g.
<pre>sudo gedit rules
</pre>
Look for the line number 242 (or for the line which reads "dh_install -p$(PKG_driver) "arch/x86_64/usr/share/ati/lib" "$(datadir)/ati". Change the entry of that line from "...arch/x86_64/usr..." to ".../arch/x86/usr...". Save the file and build the packages (this will place the packages in the parent directory)
<pre>$ cd ~/AMD_v13.1
$./amd-installer.sh 9000 --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise
</pre>
