    Okay, I switched to 14.04.

    As for trying to install the Radeon driver, I followed the tutorial linked and got the linux 64 bit version for G series SOC 2nd generation, but I get this error when trying to install:

     

    "Please install the required pre-requisites for package generation before proceeding with AMD Catalyst installation". Please check the file usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log for more details"
