AMDGPU pro failed installation

English Hardware
#1

Hi,
AMD had release AMD GPU pro drive recently and I was trying to install that on my Leap15.3.
I’m not sure why when I added local downloaded drive to the repo, I got GPG sign warning and as tried to install got this error:


he following 2 NEW packages are going to be installed:
  amdgpu-pro-versionlist amdgpu-versionlist

2 new packages to install.
Overall download size: 14.1 KiB. Already cached: 0 B. After the operation, additional 14.1 KiB will be used.

How I can fix this issue?
Thanks

Choose “Ignore”. AMD is too lazy to sign its driver packages.
Maybe you don’t need them at all - Mesa 3D works faster.
You only need them for Navi2 RT or OpenCL.

If you’re asking in Hardware sub-forum then provide info about hardware.

Thanks for the reply.
I have followed that procedure, but never came to :


Accept the repository GPG key.

Ignore???

@ neocurve : are you aware, that there is a driver amdgpu (not: pro), which also delivers very good functionality and - as it is oss, it is delivered out of the box from suse:good:
i recently installed it, while radeon had nu vulkan and everything worked very well…
read this
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AMDGPU

and that
https://linuxconfig.org/install-and-test-vulkan-on-linux

or in brief: deinstall what you have and than:

  1. zypper in vulkan libvulkan1 vulkan-tools mesa-vulkan-drivers
  2. sudo zypper install xf86-video-amdgpu
  3. add to bootloader-options
    amdgpu.si_support=1 radeon.si_support=0

cheers

Thanks for your contribution.

It is doing automatically! I did not select a!

#8

What about opencl?

#9

The other things is that in the same time ROCm is released with support of SP13 , and was wondering what is really different between using proper GPU driver from AMD pro diver ,or ROCm ?

#10

SLE SP13 is not released and is not planned yet.
ROCm is for computations. Limited to GCN5/CDNA, unofficial GCN4, headless.

Try to search on forum: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/548518-Leap-TW-OpenCL-on-AMD-with-Mesa-3D-headless-amdgpu-pro

#12

No need to install Vulkan drivers manually for different setups.
“amdgpu.si_support=1 radeon.si_support=0” is needed only for GCN1.

#13

and this one: should work
https://math.dartmouth.edu/~sarunas/amdgpu.html

#14

It will not work for newer chips because command

./amdgpu-install --opencl=legacy --headless --no-dkms

installs only legacy = old drivers.
And that instruction is for Ubuntu with another names of packages.

You’re making too much mistakes. Please read manuals before postings.

#15

neither posts, nor manuals can be 100pct relyable without knowing what the exact situation is. so one is always in task of reading and translating those words. I only wrote, what worked for me - i do have cng1, no opencl, that worked exactly as i wrote. te did not say which card he uses, and for opencl i wrote it “should” work - not that it will work as precisly as written. i am able to translate to suse, if its ubuntu… but i like your clear words, thanks :slight_smile:

After reading all manuals and testing, at least i don’t have the impression, that opencl works on amdgpu. It could be related to my hardware - but i rather guess its not compatible with amdgpu (non pro) standalone.
As i am not interested in opencl, as vulkan is fine for me, which works like this, so this is only info * that it might not work even on old chips with amdgpu *:

Downloading this:
https://drivers.amd.com/drivers/linux/amdgpu-pro-21.30-1286092-sle-15.3.tar.xz
and extracting + doing the headless-mode only

>amdgpu-pro-21.30-1286092-sle-15.3 # ./amdgpu-install --opencl=legacy,rocr --headless --no-dkms

(does not matter, if rocr or pal is included - same result)

does install and implements opencl, but devices are not detected:

maybe there is some env missing and it would work, you may know…

video group is needed, render group - for Ubuntu, not for SLE/openSUSE.

I have no available GCN1 right now, so cannot test.
Latest AMD drivers for GCN1: Radeon™ Software for Linux® 20.10

I’m using Leap 15.2 + Ryzen APU. AFAIU OpenCL works in my case.
OpenCL from Mesa 3D may work with GCN1, but only v. 1.1 (1.2?), and no image support right now.
