12.04 - 13.04 exception with latest AMD/ATI driver - How do I go about reporting this?


OS - Xubuntu 13.04 64-bit fresh install (up to date)


I'm trying to install the ati/amd graphics drivers for the laptops dedicated graphics card, but im having a really hard time.


I followed the Ubuntu_Raring_Installation_Guide on a fresh install (packages up to date). The installation seems to go fine. But when I reboot this happens.


Note. I followed the Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide on 12.04 LTS 64 and that worked fine testing fglinfo and the gears test all worked well. So then I updated that to 12.10 that worked fine too. I should have gone on to 13.04 with the update but I pushed my luck and went a fresh install of 13.04 and then struck problems again.


*Update 1. Installed Xubuntu 12.10 64 and followed Ubuntu_Quantal_Installation_Guide it needed libqtgui4 but the driver works fine.


*Update 2. Updated Xubuntu 12.10 64 to Xubuntu 13.04 64 same problem as fresh 13.04


Only seen this error once, after second install I didn't get it just boots saying * startingand nothing else.

Is this a bug cause by me? or Ubuntu or AMD? Where do I point the finger?


How do I construct a useful bug report for this issue?
