Ubuntu Server + Oclhashcat - Driver
#1
This question is in reference to the series of steps delineated in the "HOWTO: Ubuntu Server + AMD Catalyst + oclHashcat" tutorial. I've included a link below. I've been following this well-written tutorial exactly as authored, without deviation from the methods.

Unfortunately, I've encountered a problem that I'm unable to resolve on my own. When I attempt to install the driver, I encounter an error that my graphics card is not compatible with this driver. I believe this to be false. The driver is the correct revision. Could I be mistaken?

To give you better insight, I have transcribed the sequence of events immediately preceding this error.

1.) Downloaded driver

#curl --referer "http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux+x86" -o amd-catalyst-14-9-linux-x86-x86-64.zip http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-ca...x86-64.zip

2.) Unzipped driver package

#unzip amd-catalyst-14-9-linux-x86-x86-64.zip

3.) Run installer

#sh fglrx-14.301.1001/amd-driver-installer-14.301.1001-x86.x86_64.run

At this point, I'm greeted by a hybrid graphical user interface asking if I would like to:

a.) Generate Distribution Specific Driver Package

b.) Install Driver


I select install driver. Shortly thereafter, I encounter an error stating, "Your graphics adapter is not supported by this adapter. Installation will not proceed."

I'm using a 64-bit system.


I've also repeated the steps outlined above whilst using a 32-bit system with identical results. Thus far, the solution has eluded me.


Any help/insight will be tremendously appreciated. Thanks!
