Penguin Recordings's video: Installing AMD Crimson on Ubuntu 15 10

This quick guide on installing Crimson will work on Ubuntu 14.04 all the way up to 15.10. Subtitles have been added. Please enable captions and select English. I hope this helps those of you who don't speak English natively. This guide will assist you in installing the AMD Crimson 15.12 drivers on Ubuntu. This video is targeted at only desktop discrete graphics users. I cannot assist you if you are a laptop user, hybrid graphics user, or crossfire user. With the steps we take in this video, even if a kernel update comes in, we should technically be fine and not have to reinstall the driver. This video is aimed at beginner Ubuntu and Linux users, and can be used as a guide as well for distributions like Linux Mint, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and other Ubuntu-derivatives. When downloading the driver, go for the one labelled Linux_x86 or Linux_x86_64! This video uses these driver packages, not the other ones. Step by step: 1. Open a terminal and enter the following: sudo apt-get install dh-modaliases execstack debhelper dkms lib32gcc1 2. Download your respective driver from AMD's website: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download 3. Open a new terminal and cd to where you've extracted the amd driver. 4. Start the installation by entering the following into that same terminal: sudo ./amd-driver-installer-15.302-x86.x86_64.run 5. Then choose Generate Distribution Specific Driver Package and click Continue. 6. After it's done, click exit. 7. When it asks you if you want to install the generated package, hit yes. 8. Once it's done, you may close the terminal and simply restart Ubuntu to have the new Crimson driver take effect. If you'd like to uninstall the driver later on, just open a terminal and enter the following: sudo dpkg -r fglrx fglrx-core fglrx-dev fglrx-amdcccle Now restart Ubuntu, and Crimson will have been successfully uninstalled. To check that it installed successfully, open Ubuntu's dash. Type in AMD and if the AMD Control Center appears, then you've successfully installed it! Driver used in this video: AMD Crimson 15.12 Linux86_64 Only HD7000 series cards and newer are supported by the Crimson drivers right now.
