I am using a Lenovo Ideapad laptop with graphics card configuration as Radeon HD 8570A/8570M on Ubuntu 14.04. It shows me "The System is running in low graphics mode" while booting. So i am following this answer to solve my error.

I have tried amd-catalyst 14.4 and 13.12 from this site. But while installing these drivers, my terminal goes like this:

When I click or close the message box, the installation stops. So how do i install the appropriate driver?

This is because you are running the installer as a normal user. Try to run it with: sudo ./amd-gpu.run
