![]() If still that doesn't work, try removing the radeon line and do another update-initramfs -u and reboot. Then do the update-initramfs -u command as root then reboot. I don't have an amd gpu since ages but if that won't work anyway is probably because the radeon driver is still loaded, if that still happens try modifying /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add amdgpu in a line, and radeon in the line after. Now, I can't however know if this is gonna work or not. (Don't mind the other kernel parameters I have, just put the ones you need separated by spaces)īe sure also to have installed the linux-firmware package, the xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu package, and absolutely delete the amd driver you installed before! You'll need to put those in /etc/default/grub as sudo with an editor you like, like I did in there in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT If I don't get wrong your is an AMD from the Souther Islands family, and the required kernel parameter to enable the correct amdgpu driver are "radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1" The steps required are a bit tricky but I'll try to explain. I'll explain that briefly, the R9 280 defaults on Ubuntu to the old and not supported anymore open source radeon driver (for questionable reasons) and the one you downloaded is the old proprietary fglrx which today is not supported and maintained yet, and won't work unless you use some stone-age Linux distros, you'll probably need to downgrade X.org if you really want to use it, but the better solution is to use the new amdgpu, it's a nonsense they don't use that by default tbh I'm calling on the Linux faithful, please help me, before the October updates claims another victim I don't think they're 'bugs' but just mistakes in the way I'm installing it. If anyone can help me, I've had about 6 or 7 failed installs in the last 3 days. This latest changes.pp link was shut down just threw me through a loop. I run into issues when I try and restart, if the screen is flickering I try and install Radeon Drivers and then I run into issues, doesn't want to boot up properly. Install proceeds and is successful and tells me to reboot. When I arrive at the drive install screen I:Ĭlick "+" and add a 512mb EFI system partition as a Primary fileĬlick "+" and add a roughly 20GB ext4 file partition with mount point "/" At this stage the DVI monitor is flickering so I drag relevant windows to my secondary HDMI monitor. Use my Ubuntu Bootable and select 'Use Ubuntu without Installing' and then proceed to click install Ubuntu. I'll walk you through my install process.īoot into Windows and partition my drive to have around 20GB unallocated space. Sing something because Linux or at least Ubuntu this distro, wouldn't be as popular as it is if were always buggy and hard to install, so I must be missing something. Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows.Something isn't right here, I must be mis The suggested solution was to now install lightdm as 'temporary solution' as it is a known bug. and deal with any system changes.p link was shut down. I would install and then " sudo reboot" but then on restart I run into a command line error. So I've been trying to install dedicated AMD Radeon drivers through AMDs website. I'm running an R9 280 and the screen flickers through the DVI output but strangely not the HDMI output. Install has straight up failed multiple times, and then I worked I needed to create a small EFI boot partition because the current partition had no prior operating system. I'm using a bootable USB and then installing from there. I've been trying for the last few days to install Ubuntu on a small partition on one of my drives. Flickering is occurring on DVI screen, all three work fine in Windows. EDIT: I'm no longer having issues installing Ubuntu, my main issue is the screen flickering on one of my monitors, I have 3 monitors, 2x on dedicated graphics (R9 280) (HDMI/DVI) and 1 integrated graphics (Intel HD) (VGA).
