Here is CoreCtl. Going through some of the links, I don't see mention of needing to be using amdgpu, so it may work for you. Take a Timeshift snapshot before installing it and read through the documentation carefully before making any changes.

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...
