IF PROBLEM HAPPEN

this package is our try to put amdgpu in ARCH, but this could break or have problems as amd update and change their packages for ubuntu

if anything happens you can always download a older tag in https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu-pro/releases and get the PKGBUILD there, and use makepkg with that build while we update or try to fix :)

ALWAYS USE LINUX-FIRMWARE-GIT IF LATEST DRIVER FAIL BEFORE ISSUE SOME ERROR

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-firmware-git

PKGBUILD generator is located here: https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu-pro

AMDGPU PRO wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMDGPU_PRO

New versions will appear here: https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/.

Not sure what's going on but they have a new driver set type up and available under the 6.1.2 branch (1781449):

https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/6.1.2/

But these look different from the Pro drivers and have a dkms kernel driver added in as well.

List of packages includes:

amdgpu-lib32 amdgpu-lib amdgpu amdgpu-core amdgpu-dkms-firmware amdgpu-dkms-headers amdgpu-dkms amdgpu-doc

There's also a newer driver in the 6.0.3 branch too.

I think I found the issue: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Mesa-24.0-Faster-RADV-Vega . AMD removed support for Polaris and Vega GPUs from this official open-source Vulkan driver - 5600G has Vega GPU.

Thanks for your help @mesmer!

@combor i edited a lot the comment, so if you already read, read again plz lol

@combor take a look if the folder /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/ have the files needed to VK, about the default it should not be needed, only if you want to force the usage of the pro and you have the mesa driver too

as your command of vulkaninfo its seems that you are missing the icd32, i think amd removed that, so change the command to

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd64.json vulkaninfo

this should work, if not you dont have the vulkan package, maybe install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vulkan-amdgpu-pro, and if you can show your pacman -Qs amdgpu-pro

if this was working on the 23.40_1741713-1 maybe a rollback is a workaround, the amd driver is very breakable from version to version, and the driver for the G cards are well known more unstable, i love to help more but i dont have this card to try, @LanMarc77 get this working ont he 8kG series

BTW, I'm trying to run this on AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics. It used to work before upgrade to 23.40_1741713-1

# pacman -Q | grep linux-firmware-git
linux-firmware-git 20240412.5da74b16-1

this one is empty. shall I set it to defsult to something?

# echo $VK_ICD_FILENAMES

and

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd64.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd32.json vulkaninfo
ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : loader_get_json: Failed to open JSON file /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd32.json

This problem is often caused by a faulty installation of the Vulkan driver or attempting to use a GPU that does not support Vulkan.

amf-test doesnt like missing vulcan

# ./amf-test 
ERROR: Failed to initialize Vulkan

@combor try with local/linux-firmware-git 20240412.5da74b16-1 its the one i am using

also can you show me your echo $VK_ICD_FILENAMES

try to use VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd64.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd32.json vulkaninfo

also nowrep creates this https://github.com/nowrep/amf-test-linux to test the amf

I've tried firmware mentioned in the wiki and in the comments here. Anything that I'm missing?

@mesmer CBR/CBQ modes work fine with AMF 23.40_1741713-1/6.0.3 but (H)QVBR modes do not. This seems to be an issue with the AMF drivers itself and their usage of Vulkan and OpenCL. I opened an issue here and hopes it gets resolved: https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF/issues/468

@LanMarc77 the AV1 its new, and from drive to drive the AMD breaks it haha, my suggestion is if you find a version that works for you, keep it and if you update just revert, its a pain but its break in the amd itself from time to time
