After making sure I have only one version installed of all files (I cleaned up from a previous attempt)

I have through yast installed:

rocminfo4.0.0 - Radeon Open Compute (ROCm) Runtime rocminfo tool

But then:

Hi
So can you confirm your motherboard slot is PCI 3.0 and support Atomics, as per the requirements, plus it’s an unsupported card… did you look at a BIOS upgrade for the card?

#3

Hi
Tried the 4.0.1 version… it likes my CPU… no GPU… happy with amdgpu-pro…

ROCm instruction need update: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/539896-Leap-TW-Getting-working-OpenCL-with-AMD-ROCm-for-videocards-and-APUs-(AMD-hardware)?p=2990640#post2990640

IMHO using amdgpu-pro headless is much easier.

Or simply switch to nVidia cards.

#5

Those instructions are for an old version, zypper points to 4.0.0.

#6

Worked witth ROCm 3.10, which is previous to 4.0.

#7

On windows 10 (pc is dual boot) Blender recognizes my vid card right.

That how I understand its driver related.

#8

Can I do that on tumbleweed ?

#9

I do not understand this part:

  • Update lib path (if necessary). ROCm 3.5 is installed under “/opt/rocm-3.5.x”. Create a symbolic link “/opt/rocm -> /opt/rocm-3.5.1”. Check the lib path in /etc/ld.so.conf.d and make sure these are listed

I think I understand I need to make a file, but not were ?

#10

Hi
What drivers for you AMD GPU are you using on Windows, not ROCm?

#11

Hi
Sure, just download the amdgpu-pro-20.40-1147287-sle-15.2.tar.xz, extract it, switch to root user and change to the directory and run the installer…

For example


cd /stuff/repositories/AMD_work/
 
ls
amdgpu-pro-20.40-1147287-sle-15.2.tar.xz

tar -xf amdgpu-pro-20.40-1147287-sle-15.2.tar.xz

ls
amdgpu-pro-20.40-1147287-sle-15.2  amdgpu-pro-20.40-1147287-sle-15.2.tar.xz

su -

cd /stuff/repositories/AMD_work/amdgpu-pro-20.40-1147287-sle-15.2/
./amdgpu-install --opencl=legacy,pal --headless --no-dkms
#12

With that advice you create folder /opt/rocm which contains all the same as in /opt/rocm-#.
It is useful to maintain system with standard path /opt/rocm.

But maybe it is easier to use that way: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/548518-Leap-TW-OpenCL-on-AMD-with-Mesa-3D-headless-amdgpu-pro?p=3002062#post3002062 .

#13

For TW:
ILL you are downgrading amdgpu drivers with this way by installing Leap 15.2-like drivers in TW.

Or install ROCm for upstream kernel drivers.

#14

Hi
No, not using the driver (dkms), using kernel driver…

#15

But you are installing libdrm-amdgpu?

#16

Hi
Yes, it’s a userspace library…


ldd /usr/bin/blender | grep drm

    libva-drm.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libva-drm.so.2 (0x00007f2a9ff0b000)
    libdrm.so.2 => /opt/amdgpu/lib64/libdrm.so.2 (0x00007f2a9fcf2000)

To be honest no idea. I doubt they are the rocm ones, just the default drivers for windows from AMD.

On windows , probably because of the gamer in me, the first thing after windows install is to install the amd drivers.

I can boot windows 10 and see exactly what driver I have installed, if that is use full ?

#18

H
Likely just the AMD ones, I would just install opencl as indicated and move on :wink:

#19

Thank you, I will have a look.

I have this feeling there is still a file pointing to 3.5 or some other version.
Although this might not be the main problem, I do remember creating at least one file. Also gonna have a look in , I think its called user dev.
Its were I have also placed a file to get my mouse under control.

The only part I did understand about this for tumble weed.
Install part of the proprietary AMD drivers (the rocm part) besides? on top of ? the opensource dirvers, and disable mesa opencl.

After this I keep getting confused, because it sounds so easy, how hard can it be :wink:

According to YAST, I am not using mesa opencl anymore, because its not installed.
So I must be using some part of rocm already ?

#20

Hi
The only place I would check is /etc/ld.so.conf.d but all should be removed on uninstall of rocm…
