xubuntu 12.04 wants to update fglrx-* packages - safe?

@ShadesOfMarble: if you do something wrong, it breaks of course.

I did what you said. First upgrading the driver and then trying to downgrade it according to your instructions. I don't think I'm the one to blame

well u fked up your apt (which had nothing to do with this) first, then you create the packages wrong (u didnt specify which distro + version, sometimes this may work, sometimes not). its not about blaming
another thing on linux -> "it dosnt work, i have no idea why" is not a valid argument, there are plenty of logs and debuging information available to find the problem and fix it.

if it screws up ur system, i help u for free to fix it since i screwd it up

Why didn't you tell me the correct commands then? (My apt wasn't fucked up - did you actually read my posts? I ran the command in the wrong directory)
Why did you tell me it's safe to upgrade fglrx in the first place?

another thing on linux -> "it dosnt work, i have no idea why" is not a valid argument

1. Tell everyone how easy it is
2. Give little or no help, let someone fuck up
3. Tell them they are stupid

That's an attitude only linux users have.

i gave u a link to a wiki with the right commands + explaing how to do everything.
since it is safe unless u do it wrong (ie not like it says in the wiki)

if you provide me SSH il fix it (if u cant fix it)

[ShadesOfMarble]

That's nice, but sadly the machine doesn't boot so there is no SSH atm.
It will take one or two more days until I can drive to the location.

in this case start as recovery mode and uninstall fglrx as 01BTC01 said, this shouldnt happen, if you fuck up your graphic drivers then X11 wont be working, not the whole system. so it seems to be a other problem.
if this dosnt work out, contact me in IRC/XMPP so we can work it out together

When it comes to mining: if it aint broke, don't fix it! Having some real trouble getting both cards recognised after a 12.4 upgrade. ATICOnfig can see them, clinfo can't.. .
