well, today i (partially) realized why my basic drivers don’t work: the preinstalled packages amdgpu and amdgpu-dkms seem to not work due to amdgpu-dkms being unconfigured. tried configuring it and got the same error. around about there my system stopped using even the iGPU and i had to uninstall some other drivers (thanks @lena@gregtech.eu )
AMD drivers are plug n play? They are part of mesa and you don’t need to do anything, why would you need to install anything else?
Edit: except rocm
Rocm unfortunately.
Removed by mod
Even ROCm on some distros isn’t that bad. On my 7900 XTX (admittedly an officially supported card, your mileage may vary on unofficial cards) on Fedora it was just a case of doing
sudo dnf install rocm-*and everything installed (might be some extra packages you need after for specific apps, but you know if you need them). On openSUSE though, it was a total pain.Don’t they support like 3 cards?
Rocm usually needs an override line in pip wheel/python, not the driver itself at least from my experience
Unfortunately they workn’t. :(
real rocm moment
