Tinkered with amdgpu and ran into the follwing problem:

Reading installed packages...

The following package is going to be REMOVED:
  amdgpu-dkms

1 package to remove.
After the operation, 224.1 MiB will be freed.

Any idea?

See https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_troubleshooting, can you run:

ZYPP_LOGFILE=zypper-refresh-updates.log zypper remove amdgpu-dkms

And try to find the rpm command, if that does not work, add “ZYPP_FULLLOG=1”

When you have the rpm command, add -v to the command and run it stand-alone.

What exactly is not clear in

error: %preun(amdgpu-dkms-1:5.9.10.69-1234663.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 3

? Read what this script does and find out why this script fails.

#4

The following action fails:

**3400G:~ #** dkms remove -m amdgpu -v 5.9.10.69-1234663 --all --rpm_safe_upgrade                 
Error! There are no instances of module: amdgpu 
5.9.10.69-1234663 located in the DKMS tree. 
**3400G:~ #**

I am unfamiliar with dkms. Thus I am unsure which changes to make by hand. Will manual removal of the files of the package and running ‘dracut -f’ afterwards fix the problem?

Hi
It’s the rpm macro and script not working…


rpm -e --noscripts amdgpu-dkms
#6

Great. There were 2 instances of the package. Actually I needed to run rpm -e --noscripts --allmatches amdgpu-dkms-1:5.9.10.69-1234663.

Alas running ./amdgpu-install --uninstall does not restore the previous configuration. Rollback failed too.The display-manager now aborts with:

**3400G:~ #** journalctl -b -1 -u display-manager.service

Hi
What about rpms installed from the amdgpu repo? I use it here, but not dkms and not for display, just offload;


zypper se -sir amdgpu-pro-local

If you run the install routine rather than uninstall, for me that’s all I did, the uninstall, the rpm command and then install.

#8

I want to get rid of amdgpu-pro and use again amdgpu. I made sure all packages from amdgpu-pro-local are removed, ran dracut -f and rebooted. But display-manager is still broken.

#9

Hi
I don’t use the driver, just the libraries with;


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

I have installed;


 zypper se -sir amdgpu-pro-local
