r/linux_gaming on Reddit: How to install the amdgpu-install (Proprietary Drivers) for debian?
December 3, 2024 -

Hello! I come facing an issue i didn't have while using ubuntu and operating systems building off it! (KDE Neon, Zorin OS)

I can't seem to get the drivers that give me hip-runtime! The amdgpu-install drivers, Which I require for davinci resolve and decoding, (I pay for davinci pro.) So, Does anyone know how? If so, What did you do? I'd love to get things back up and running after this switch asap

until roughly 1 hour ago I had similar issues. Now I'd like to publish my solution and hope that it may help some of you ;)

Prerequisites:

First of All - My Setup:

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (With integrated AMD graphics)
AMD RX 6650XT GPU
On MSI MPG X670E Carbon WIFI Mainboard

As OS I'm running a fresh install of Kubuntu 22.04.3
(Should be identical to Ubuntu 22.04.3)

Straight after install i ran

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo shutdown -h 0 (and subsequent reboot)

which got me to Kernel Version

6.2.0-33-generic (from uname -r)

At that point neither the Ryzens integrated graphics nor the RX6650XT were working, as indicated by the output of sudo lshw -c video (All *-display entries marked as UNCLAIMED)

FIX:

  1. Install the deprecated libssl1.1 which was installed on a different machine of mine with an older Version of Ubuntu 22.04 (Kernel 5.15.0)
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.0g-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.0g-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb
  1. Install amdgpu-install
wget http://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/5.7/ubuntu/jammy/amdgpu-install_5.7.50700-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i amdgpu-install_5.7.50700-1_all.deb
  1. Install AMD Drivers
amdgpu-install -y --accept-eula --opencl=rocr --opengl=mesa --vulkan=pro

Remarks:

  • Read the AMD Docs regarding the options, depending on your graphics card you may need other parameters
  • I ran sudo update-grub2 after installation was finished, so maybe do that aswell for good measure ;)
  1. Reboot
shutdown -h 0

Hope this helps and best of luck :D

I had the same problem, and i've read few similar ones over the last time. But not even one generic solution. Even not in the official AMD-Forum. 🤷‍♀️

But i came a little further on my specific solution doing this:

Installed the amd-drivers from: https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/23.10.3/ubuntu/focal/amdgpu-install_5.5.50503-1_all.deb

Modified the repo Adresses of all the AMD-releated-repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list.d from focal to jammy

sudo apt update
sudo update-initramfs
sudo reboot
sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=graphics,opencl --vulkan=amdvlk --opencl=legacy

I'm not 100% sure, what exactly the options of amdgpu-install do, and if the proprietary driver runs as expected. But Steam launches without any problems...

Installing or Uninstalling the AMDGPU stack — amdgpu graphics and compute stack unknown-build documentation
Different Linux distributions have different ownership and permission policies for render nodes. In addition, your organization may have its own policies that override the distribution defaults. If unsure, consult the documentation for your distribution or your organization. In some scenarios, it may be desirable to install only the OpenCL portion of the AMDGPU stack (omitting the OpenGL portion), which can be accomplished by using the --usecase=opencl option instead.
