It is necessary to logout/login for group changes taking effect for the currently logged-in user, a reboot is not required though (but works as well).
Thank you.
I just posted in the chit chat section my first video rendered in Blender. 
The 4m50 video, took about about 4 hours to render.
Now I will install that opencl driver part, and I can compare how much this speeds things up.
I also noticed my pc being very responsive while rendering, and when I used a few googled commands, top and 1, I noticed all 6 cores and 6 threads being used, although only at 25 %.
More stuff to investigate, I don’t expect all cores at 100% but 25 % seems a bit low.
Looks like there is room for improvement.
This does proof how well Linux is at multitasking.
No lucky yet, blender still does not want to use opencl.
I suspect this says it all ?

You mean blender is the problem ?
I am going over the rocm topic linked in this one, to see if I forgot something.

I wonder if I installed the wrong packages.
I installed rocm-opencl but there is also rocm-opencl-dev3.5.0
Looking at the no such file or directory that could be the problem.
Gonna try it, and if it fails, I might install Blender on windows 10 too to see if I have the same problem there.

I just installed Blender on windows 10, there opencl is available, so that rules out my hardware.
I also checked if I am a member of the group video and I am.
I had to install clpeak.
Been reading the arch wiki.
I might have to change some kernel settings, but I am not sure I wanna go that far.
The changes I made up-till now, I can easily undo.
My machine with ROCm:

...
Verify your installation. You have no OpenCL platform right now.

If you installed ROCm 3.5.0, why you are trying to use paths for 3.3.0?
And look at this: /dev/kfd has the wrong permissions · Issue #36 · ROCm/ROCT-Thunk-Interface · GitHub
Yes I made that mistake, lets try again.
And your link points to something I read, I think on the amd site, we are told to install something twice, once for root and ones for the user.
guus@linux-2ls4:~> ls -la /dev | grep kfd
crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root video 242, 0 23 jul 12:34 kfd
Do I understand it right that me as a user should be listed there too ?
What makes me confused is this command:
KERNEL=="kfd", MODE="0660", GROUP="video", TAG+="uaccess"
I am already a member of the video group, but I might be not understanding that command right ?
guus@linux-2ls4:~> dkms status" and "uname -r

I have no idea what this means though.
this is how 70-kdf-rules looks now.

KERNEL=="kfd", MODE="0660", GROUP="video", TAG+="uaccess"
Blender stll is not happy.
Reading though he topic of the person with the same problem, but with nvidia, graphics he starts blender as root.
When I try this:
guus@linux-2ls4:~> sudo blender
Unable to open a display
Aborted
Second question how do I extent the number of lines my cli remembers? Some commands in this thread show so much lines, I can even read them all.
guus@linux-2ls4:~> dkms status
Het absolute pad naar 'dkms' is '/usr/sbin/dkms'. Als u het uit wilt voeren, kan dit systeembeheerderprivileges vereisen (bijv. root).
guus@linux-2ls4:~> sudo dkms status
guus@linux-2ls4:~>
I am getting more and more confused.
Found something about the command line, the thing to google for is histsize and histfile.
Hi
One thing that may be relevant that has popped up recently in other forum threads, is UEFI and secure boot, is this what your using?
Yes I am, at least I think so, I am 100% sure about eufi , not 100% sure about secure boot.
Managed to find the command line settings , changed it from 1000 to 4000 lines, so now I should at least be able to read all.
( the output of the commands to check rocm install )
There is a warning next to it, but with 16 gig ram I felt safe to ignore the warning.

So it seems I am no using secure boot.
I was using ROCm 3.3.
And it was working.
Then I updated it to 3.5 with this repo: https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/zyp/zypper/
And got same results as Gps2010.
ILL ROCm 3.5 simply is not working.
My suggestions: try to use ROCm 3.3: https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/zyp/3.3/
or ROCm 3.5.1: https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/zyp/3.5.1/
IMHO using single-version ROCm is simpler than multi-version.
Thank you for trying.
For me it might be easier to just render the file on windows, although I can’t say that would be a solution I really like.
Think I will try to install version 3.3 to see if I can get it working,
