<br>
The way I would have done it is to do CTRL+ALT+F1, login as you and then do:<br>
sudo stop lightdm<br>
sudo dpkg -r libdrm-radeon1:i386<br>
sudo apt-get install libdrm-radeon1<br>
<br>
Hopefully that would take care of it.<br>

I thought the :i386 packages were part of the system for supporting 32<br>
bit programs to run in 64-bit (though I had always though there was no<br>
problem doing so except for packages that used the kernel directly (like<br>
drivers).<br>
<br>
Anyway, that did not help. when I went to a console (i.e. ctrl-F2) and<br>
killed X it just dropped me to the login screen (which makes some<br>
sense). So I restarted and used the recovery console. Using that<br>
command to me the filesystem was ro so I went back to the recovery<br>
screen and chose the dpkg fix entry from the menu. That looked like it<br>
fixed things and did install the other 9 updates, but still complained<br>
about the i386 thing. Dropping to a root shell again (the FS was now<br>
rw), I tried again to dpkg -r .. to no avail.<br>
<br>
rebooting put me back in normally and the Update Manager now shows only<br>
libdrm-radeon1 needing update but it fails the same way. I'm going to<br>
hope the update itself caused the problem and maybe they will put out a<br>
fix this weekend.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help!<br>

Looks like you managed to get both the i386 version and the amd64<br>
version of libdrm-radeon1 trying to install at the same time, and of<br>
course stepping on each others toes since they provide the same<br>
thing. I've run into similar problems in the past with other<br>
packages that atarted out with an i386 only version and then later<br>
added a 64bit version.<br>
<br>
You should be able to fix yourself right up by doing:<br>
dpkg -r libdrm-radeon1:i386<br>
<br>
You might want to do the above from a plain console without X<br>
running since you will be swapping part of it's brains out with a<br>
totally different version, just be be safe.<br>

Update. None of the known fixes and when the Update Manager<br>
complains<br>
and I click on Details, it says:<br>

The way I read that it looks like not a problem. BTW, this is<br>

12.04.2 64bit which makes me wonder about that 10.4 in the message.<br>
