The reason for that is AMD decided to totally restructure its Radeon driver stack for Linux and to come up with a new, much more streamlined solution. Anything later than that is not supported by AMD anymore. Out of my head, I think you can use Crimson up to Linux kernel 3.13 only (Ubuntu 14.04). Regarding your Radeon HD xxxx cards, it is actually not Canonical/Ubuntu who made the decision to not support the binary Crimson drivers anymore. Hi Manuel, I think you got a few things slightly wrong :-)

I really enjoyed Ubuntu since I found it 4 years ago, and with the idea of not using any MS products made my life happy, but with this Ubuntu attitude I am confused now.Дo we need to return to winвЂ¦s, it looks that they donвЂ™t have any problems with the driversвЂ¦ o.k., security and all the b,s., involved with that o.s., but as an en user, I want to have the opportunity to use my every day computer, and not to have a black screen with no possibilities after an upgrade or fresh installation.

One thing that may help, and for that I ask your expertise: How we can stop Ubuntu 14.04 to try to update the hardware and the operating system, until Ubuntu takes responsibility and provides a real solution. What we do? Put our equipments in garbage and buy new ones that may be more compatible with the вЂnewвЂ™ philosophy of Ubuntu. It looks like the problem does not exist in Intel Graphics cards as they utilize other drivers.ДЄt this point is no way to update from Ubuntu 14.04+ to Ubuntu 16.04 as both ways, update/upgrade or fresh installations, Ubuntu is not providing any solutions, only some excuses like вЂAMD say that is not providing anymore support for that driversвЂ™ or вЂThe team has worked in the new open source driver and we are not going to do moreвЂ™ even if the new open source driver is not working. The update deletes all the propitiatory AMD graphics drivers, provided by fglrx, it is not providing any bridge to continue using the fglrx drivers, while Ubuntu continue fighting with AMD about the support for Radeon AMD cards that we have installed in our laptops. After, since my point of view, been one of the best desktop suites based in Linux Operating System. It looks like Ubuntu is adopting the MS (winвЂ¦s) philosophy of upgrade without compatibility.

Anyone wishing to opt into the new Kernel and X graphics stack may do so by running the command below in terminal: sudo apt-get install -install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-xenial libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-xenialДЇor Sever edition, run this command instead: sudo apt-get install -install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenial Those who installed Ubuntu 14.04 from the original or 14.04.1 disc image will keep the original Trusty stack. Note that the updated hardware enablement stack, Kernel 4.4 and X graphics stack from 16.04, will be available through the update only for those who installed Ubuntu 14.04 using the 14.04.2 or newer disc image.

Ubuntu 14.04 users can easily upgrade to the 14.04.5 point release by running a regular system update via Software Updater. These include security updates and corrections for other high-impact bugs, with a focus on maintaining stability and compatibility with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. We have expanded our hardware enablement offering since 12.04, and with 14.04.5, this point release contains an updated kernel and X stack for new installations to support new hardware across all our supported architectures, not just x86.ДЄs usual, this point release includes many updates, and updated installation media has been provided so that fewer updates will need to be downloaded after installation.
