[Solved] catalyst-utils missing

Hello,

I wanted to install catalyst-dkms on my system but the dependency "catalyst-utils" is not available in the Official repositories.
Before updating my system it was available but now it disappeared.

Is this temporal or was this package completely removed?

Re: [Solved] catalyst-utils missing

I believe catalyst does not work with the latest xorg-server and was dropped to AUR. It always is a problem with catalyst since they are a bit slow catching up with xorg. You can install it from AUR, but you will have to downgrade xorg. Or you can simply use the open source ati drivers.

Re: [Solved] catalyst-utils missing

Ok thank you. That was exactly what I discovered before the update.
I wanted to install catalyst-dkms but it told me that it has a conflict with xorg-server. The conflict was caused by the version so I decided to update my system.

EDIT:
I searched for catalyst-utils in the AUR but it wasn't there too.

Re: [Solved] catalyst-utils missing

I know that catalyst-dkms is in the repos.

The issue is that the dependency "catalyst-utils" isn't there. I don't know why it's not available anymore but it's quite strange to remove catalyst-utils without removing "catalyst-dkms" too.
That's why I asked if it's temporal or if it was completely removed.

Re: [Solved] catalyst-utils missing

Yes, catalyst-utils seems to be removed from the repos and Vi0l0 obviously did some clean up. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/catalyst-total/ comes with catalyst-utils.

Edit: still a lot of catalyst packages in the AUR, so I might be mistaken about the clean up (or even the need for a clean up), catalyst-utils is there and everything should work out.

Re: [Solved] catalyst-utils missing

Thanks for the Link but now I've detected another problem:

The package description says that the driver doesn't support the Radeon HD 2000,3000,4000 series but on the offical site you find exactly the same driver when you're searching for a radeon 2100 driver.

Which one is right now?

EDIT: The offical site:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/l … linux.aspx

I supposed catalyst-dkms should be removed too. I mentionned it on the bug tracker: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33492#comment108787

Re: [Solved] catalyst-utils missing

Now i know why they removed it...

I had to downgrade xorg but the server didn't start because it missed some libraries that where replaced by systemd.
And the nicest thing about it: After nearly rebuilding my whole system it turned out that the driver doesn't support my graficchip anymore so I had to uninstall everything again -.-

I don't know why they write on the official amd site that the driver supports my chip but it definatly doesn't!

Thanks for your help anyways! smile
