Driver pain.

[ragequit]

Is there a foolproof way to get the correct driver installed?

first things first...Ubuntu 12.04 LTS HD7970s
was working fine on 1.31

apparently had the .deb installed before,

Code:

sudo dpkg -r fglrx-dev fglrx-amdcccle fglrx
sudo dpkg --purge fglrx-dev fglrx-amdcccle fglrx
sudo shutdown -r now

based on the info here:

https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=fre...hould_i_do

Code:

sudo su
find / -name libOpenCL\* -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf
exit
sudo shutdown -r now

so far so good.
'dmesg | grep fglrx' returns nothing

next:
unpacked the 14.9 driver and:

Code:

cd fglrx-14.301.1001/
sudo ./amd-driver-installer-14.301.1001-x86.x86_64.run
sudo shutdown -r now
sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all
sudo shutdown -r now


./oclHashcat64.bin --benchmark

ATTENTION! Unsupported or incorrect installed GPU driver detected!

What did I miss?

if this happens to anyone else:
AMD APP SDK was the culprit.

1. Delete the directory pointed to the AMDAPPSDKROOT environment variable.
2. Remove the AMDAPPSDKROOT and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables. (in /etc/profile in my case)
3. Delete the amdocl[32][64].so from /etc/OpenCL/vendors.
