Arch Linux User Repository

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/.

The main file is failing checksum validation.

I am not able to install amdgpu-pro because it can not resolve this dependency (binfmt-support).

error: can not find the git package needed to handle git sources

Can someone help me?

I'm having a binfmt support issue as well. I've installed the git version (which is the only one I could find in the aur) but it does not provide the package this wants

it looks like binfmt-support (listed as a dependency of the amdgpu-pro package) doesn't exist.

EDIT: binfmt-support doesn't show up on aur.archlinux.org, but I managed to find it at https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/?h=binfmt-support

I tried the package from aur and git, mentioned in pinned comment. I cant install them. cannot resolve "amdgpu-pro-libdrm=17.40.492261-1", a dependency of "xf86-video-amdgpu-pro"

but the packages are made and there. cant find a typo in PKGBUILD

pls help

I tried @Noctivivans PKGBUILD with the other files from the archlinuxcn repo. The amdgpu-pro kernel module wouldn't compile with 4.14 or even 4.13, so I tried downgrading the kernel to 4.10 and it succeeded. However, the system then refused to boot, freezing early in the boot process. Single user mode did the same thing so I was forced to recover with a LiveCD.

I was able to install version from archlinuxcn PKGBUILD after enabling archlinuxcn repo and fixing some file conflicts in PKGBUILD (fixed version here: https://pastebin.com/ChavKLf2). I successfully booted system with linux-lts kernel, but I am not sure how to check if pro features are really enabled (my card is not fully supported yet anyway).

Btw, even archlinuxcn PKGBUILD is outdated - I've found more recent driver version here: https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-for-Linux-Release-Notes.aspx direct link (requires page above as referer): https://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ubuntu/amdgpu-pro-17.50-511655.tar.xz

@ozmartian are you sure?

you can grab the archlinuxcn PKGBUILD from GitHub via:

https://github.com/archlinuxcn/repo/tree/master/amdgpu-pro-installer

$ makepkg -is (to build pkg and install + check dependencies)

This software doesn't even work on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, which AMD supposedly supports!! See http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Driver-Compatibility-Advisory-with-Ubuntu-16.04.2-and-16.04.3.aspx

I couldn't even make it work on 16.04.2. I've pretty much given up on AMD.
