When trying to build a package for Ubuntu 13.10 32 bit version of proprietary drivers downloaded from amd's site with following command :
$ sudo ./amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/saucy
it successfully creates the packages: fglrx_13.251-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-amdcccle_13.251-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-dev_13.251-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
Then when trying to install them I get the following log :
$ sudo dpkg -i fglrx_13.251-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-amdcccle_13.251-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-dev_13.251-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

Can this be fixed somehow ? I use AMD R9 270X. WIth Linux 14.1 beta drivers it works ok.
Solved! Go to Solution.
IIRC catalyst 13.12 doesn't support ubuntu 13.10 so use 14.1 beta drivers until AMD release next stable version.

Although Ubuntu 13.10 is not officially supported as you have stated I have managed to run it correctly with replacing last 3 lines of /usr/src/fglrx-13.251/kcl_acpi.c
for:
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3,9,1)
((acpi_tbl_table_handler)handler)(hdr);
#else
((acpi_table_handler)handler)(hdr);
#endif
return KCL_ACPI_OK;
}
After that run :
$ sudo dkms install -m fglrx -v 13.251 -k 3.11.0-17-generic
As I am using 3.11.0-17 kernel.
In the end I have working 13.12 drivers on Ubuntu 13.10
