xserver-xorg-core-lts-trusty conflicts with amd-catalyst-14-4-rev2-linux-x86-x86-64-may6 I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on an Asus M5a97r2.0 Motherboard and a 6 core AMDfx6100 CPU with 2 radeon HD 6570 with 2gig of memory each running a syntax display at 1250x720 pixels I got a notice from my update manager that a hardware update that a new hardware suport update was available and 'highly recomended'. I ran it and amoung other things, it proceded to uninstall the catalyst driver, and the image that came up was all sparkles and unstable, so I backed up to the last stable build in the recovery window. (The recovery mode for the new build did not work- no video) I serched for the fglrx packages first from ubuntu repository: http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu and attempted to install it with apt-get This gave a cascading list of dependencies which could not be met,due to a conflict with xserver-xorg-core. (I did not copy this, unfortunately) I went to the Radeon support site and downloaded amd-catalyst-14-4-rev2-linux-x86-x86-64-may6, and this loaded and worked very well Next day I again ran update, as prompted, which loaded the xserver-xorg-core-lts-trusty, the core server as well as xserver-comon-lts-trusty, various c library functions,dkrms, libcairo-gobject2. libcairo2, libglu1-mesa, ligglu1-mesa:i386, libpciaccess0, libpciaccess0:i386, & linux-firmware. I was again prompted to do another update, generic linux kernal 3.8 was installed (I had the 3.5 kernel previously) On the next reboot, I had no video at all. There is a fleeting message on the screen before it goes black, but does not stay long enough to read. 3.8 recovery mode fails, no video I went back to the generic 3.5 linux to report this. Thus, I can't do dmesg . I know I have roled back x server update, because that update is again suggesting itself to me. I tried running the xubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso live distro, but this also gave me a black screen, so I think it is a conflict going forward in this distro, or with x11.
You need to report this to your distro or package provider. Xorg upstream does not provide binary packages, and we've never shipped anything named "xserver-xorg-core-lts-trusty".
