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/.

@Ashark, so, I'm confused about move_libdir in the PKGBUILD.

It doesn't work at all. Packages still git built with files in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, /usr/lib32/i686-linux-gnu, etc. Nothing gets moved anywhere, so that little snippet does nothing.

amdgpu-pro-libgl is one example. The resulting Arch package has amdgpu_dri.so in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/

@quadronick, so you need to remove roct-amdgpu-pro before upgrading.

It's not a broken dependency. It's a sub-package that's no longer supported, because AMDGPU-Pro no longer includes it.

Idk guys if it's your package's error or not. But I suggest broken dependencies inside your meta-project or something.

@gardotd426 Could you actually successfully open a project? I have tried your method, DR started normally and showed a project selector window. But when I click on one of the projects, DR crashes. Also, I am interested what is libGLESv2 and libglapi.so and why did not you used them in your method?

Great tutorial from @gardotd426 thanks for that.

You can get the archive with all relevant files from Chaotic AUR: https://lonewolf.pedrohlc.com/chaotic-aur/x86_64/amdgpu-pro-libgl-20.30_1109583-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Just use the following command tar -I zstd -xvf amdgpu-pro-libgl-20.30_1109583-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst to expand the files.

After running progl ; /opt/resolve/bin/resolve I could run "DaVinci Resolve 16" without any problem and without replacing my open source drivers by the proprietary ones.

GFX: ATI Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590]

OS: Manjaro

EDIT: If you want you can also use the workaround stated here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMDGPU_PRO#Workaround_for_using_proprietary_OpenGL

Just install pacman -S amdgpu-pro-libgl before launching DaVinci Resolve and uninstall it with pacman -R amdgpu-core-meta amdgpu-pro-core-meta amdgpu-pro-libgl after you're done.

If it doesn't show any video preview inside of DaVinci Resolve and literally every video is blank / black theres one main cause: Davinci Resolve doesn't support .mp4 files within the Linux version... Source

At the end of this list you can find all supported codecs – not many but better than nothing.

Note to anyone wanting to actually use this full stack: It can't be done on Arch Linux, you will experience X crashes. However....

If anyone is wanting to use the OpenGL driver from this in order to run DaVinci Resolve, that CAN be done, and quite easily actually.

Install opencl-amd for the proprietary standalone opencl driver. This also allows you to use OpenCL for things like Blender. But for DaVinci Resolve specifically, you also need to have the OpenGL driver, but you CANNOT install it systemwide. What you need to do, is put something like this in your .zshrc (or somewhere else where you can easily run it from the terminal):

progl() {
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${HOME}/pro/drivers:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
  export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH="${HOME}/pro/drivers/dri"
  export dri_driver="amdgpu"
}

And then simply extract a few of the packages and put them in ${HOME}/pro/drivers (and ${HOME}/pro/drivers/dri).

Here is the output of ll -R ${HOME}/pro/drivers/

amdgpu-pro-libgl-20.30_1109583-1-x86_64.pkg.tar should contain everything you need. Make sure to put the amdgpu_dri.so file inside a dri/ directory within the pro/ directory.

I've already tested this, it does allow DaVinci Resolve to open and run. You obviously have to run progl from the terminal first, and then run DaVinci Resolve from that same terminal, but yeah that's it.

You could also just edit the .desktop file for DaVinci Resolve in order to add those envvars to the beginning of the Exec= command.

@bobolin @licensed fixed in 20.30_1109583-1
