Radeon Software 18.20 Preview Offers Early Support For Ubuntu 18.04 LTS & RHEL 7.5

Not really... sorry. Most of it relates to either not-yet-announced AMD products or never-going-to-be-announced semi-custom projects.

well, the issue is fixed with firefox 60, we can stop fighting now.

I have tested the Ubuntu 18.04 amdgpu-pro 18.20 with a R9 280X (Tahiti). Xorg seems to work fine. The OpenCL driver however silently corrupt memory on the device, leading to wrong computations. See

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106527 and perhaps https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102491

Is it a regression or expected? Tahiti is not in the list of supported hardware, but it seems it is close to be usable and it seems the only hope to continue to use this hardware on recent linux kernels for OpenCL applications.

Consoles :P

Because we are already working 12+ hour days and can't pack any more in until we finish some of the current tasks/topics.

Sorry to hear, I really feel you . I guess is not that easy to recruit people that can do graphic stacks

I'm new here. I put together a new box using an Asus Sabertooth with an FX 9590, H105 cooler, 32 GB RAM, and a Radeon R9 Fury X using hand-me-down and new components my oldest son provisioned. Thus, I'm interested in exercising this guy, and it looks like that means Ubuntu 18.04. My first attempt installing the preview package would not build but being especially busy I deferred bug reporting until I could reinstall Ubuntu and try again, possibly capitalizing on others' subsequent experience. Now, however, I cannot get the AMD website to cough up https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-art...ase-Notes.aspx again. I tried creating an AMD support forums account but it won't honor clicks on the "I agree to the T&Cs" button. So maybe I can get pointed to the right information here. Have the Notes been pulled pending imminent formal release? Should I ignore 18.20 for getting started?

It comes up fine for me (in Canada) - maybe there is some country-specific issue ? Here are the links from the page if that helps:

All those links are alive for me (although the download doesn't like being directly accessed from outside AMD--at least it's nice about it) but the link to the Notes produces not a bit of feedback. I could get it fine a week or two ago. Thanks for letting me know it's there for you. I'll try some different platforms...
