Why does SDB:AMDGPU-PRO - openSUSE Wiki provide such strange instructions about manually creating a local repository using a directory of manually extracted .rpm file constituents instead of simply installing the package (using zypper)?
The AMDGPU-Pro driver requires access to specific RPMs from SUSE installation media for purposes of dependency resolution as well as DKMS support files (BumbleBee Repository) in order to build and install the DKMS module. A script named amdgpu-pro-pre-install.sh will confirm that all required prerequisite files and repositories are available in order to successfully install the AMDGPU-Pro driver in the SUSE environment.
It can be run as follows:
sudo sh amdgpu-pro-preinstall.sh –-checkThis will check if the required repositories are available to ensure a smooth installation. If there are any warnings, the script can be executed again without any options to build the necessary repositories.
sudo sh amdgpu-pro-preinstall.sh
@rokejulianlockhart AFAIK, those were written before a proper repo was created… now there is rocM repo…
What do you mean by that more specifically, @malcolmlewis?
GitHub - RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm: AMD ROCm™ Platform - GitHub Home doesn’t appear to explain much. How could someone use that repository as a zypper repository for the proprietary AMDGPU drivers, @malcolmlewis?
@rokejulianlockhart It’s for use with amdgpu-pro. The AMD repos are long gone here as switched to all Nvidia… I think if you look at the install script they are there… or maybe created with a cron job
