Proprietary FGLRX module fails to compile due to GPL only code
(Ubuntu 15.04) After latest round of updates fglrx failed to compile dkms module on both of my laptops. 1 laptop has switchable graphics and the other does not. The laptop with switchable graphics works fine with the integrated intel chipset while the other laptop boots to a black screen. The error log is below.
FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module fglrx.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'pci_ignore_hotplug'
scripts/Makefile.modpost:90: recipe for target '__modpost' failed
make[2]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
Makefile:1397: recipe for target 'modules' failed
make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-3.19.0-26-generic'
I've looked around on askubuntu.com and noticed allot of new Ubuntu users upset with broken Ubuntu desktops using FGLRX without any answers to whats going on. If someone comes up with an answer we could respond to some of these users questions.
Fixed thanks to Pilot6 and Vladimir

You have an unsupported kernel installed. Probablyproposedrepository is on. That's the reason. Try to boot with3.19.0-25using grub menu.

The real problem, is that the kernel has a function that is exported as gpl only. Two possible solutions:
- Driver update to use non-gpl function instead
- Kernel update to export function as non-gpl
The FGLRX, NVIDIA, and custom modules with MODULE_LICENSE("Proprietary") will all fail until then.
In my situation using trace_printk in 3.19 kernel, for a proprietary in-house module, generates the error for '__trace_bputs'
I worked around the issue (for internal testing only, due to obvious legal reasons), by changing the MODULE_LICENSE to "GPL".

Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?
