uninstall catalyst [resolved] - ragequit - 07-31-2014

So I have a perfectly working catalyst 13.x/oclhashcat1.01 installation.
But I can't update because I can't remove catalyst 13.

Code:
user@brutev2:~$ sudo aticonfig --uninstall

AMD Catalyst(TM) Proprietary Driver Uninstall is corrupt.  Uninstall script 'fglrx-uninstall.sh' is missing.

just to be sure:

Code:
sudo sh /usr/share/ati/amd-uninstall.sh

AMD Catalyst(TM) Proprietary Driver Uninstall is corrupt.  Uninstall script 'fglrx-uninstall.sh' is missing.

and dpkg -l | grep fglrx comes back blank.

can someone point me to instructions for removing it manually? or will --force work well enough?

K, turns out there was a relatively easy solution. I can delete this thread if needed.

ran the installer for the version of the driver I had with --extract

Code:
$ sudo sh ./amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.run --extract

Created directory fglrx-install.noDM9j

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Uncompressing AMD Catalyst(TM) Proprietary Driver-13.251.........

$ sudo chmod -R 777 fglrx-install.noDM9j/

$ cd fglrx-install.noDM9j/

$ sudo sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh 

$ sudo reboot

14.4 still said the old driver was there so I did it one more time with --force

Code:
$ cd fglrx-install.noDM9j/

$ sudo sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh --force

Forcing uninstall of AMD Catalyst(TM) Proprietary Driver.

No integrity verification is done.

cat: /usr/share/ati/libGLdir.txt: No such file or directory

rm: cannot remove `/usr/share/ati/libGLdir.txt': No such file or directory

restore of system environment completed

Uninstall fglrx driver complete.

For detailed log of uninstall, please see /etc/ati/fglrx-uninstall.log

System must be rebooted to avoid system instability and potential data loss.

$ sudo reboot

install 14.4 like normal.

works now :-)>
