Thread: Applications not running, monitor configuration problem, and more graphics troubles

ok, let me start beginning. had problem webcam , thought perhaps recompiling kernel work. after trial , error, several tutorials , 3 days got working^w bootable kernel. noticed fglrx wasn't working , graphically intense applications weren't running @ (can't remember error code , can't check browser history for reasons apparent). attempted uninstall fglrx , install fglrx-amdcccle-updates , fglrx-updates fix problem. unfortunately came across error when installing fglrx-updates. follows:

code:

(reading database ... 251612 files , directories installed.) unpacking fglrx-updates (from .../fglrx-updates_2%3a8.911-0ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb) ... 1 or more files have been altered since installation. uninstall not completed. see /etc/ati/fglrx-uninstall.log details. dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx-updates_2%3a8.911-0ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb (--unpack):  subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 errors encountered while processing:  /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx-updates_2%3a8.911-0ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb e: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned error code (1)

i have 2 monitors way. left of not receiving input , idle. applications don't run (e.g. chromium) , there seems desktop right of right monitor, can't reach. panel 2 half hidden , askew (i use xfce doubt problem directly related that, hence prefix). aren't things wrong, can't think of complete list @ moment.
can see have no idea i'm doing. should reload , done it? please help.

hi, in opinion if having several problems after recompiling kernel easier reinstall because may have made several changes , makes troubleshooting impossible.

one or more files have been altered since installation.
uninstall not completed

is beginning of issues.
