Radeon ROCm 5.0 Released With Some RDNA2 GPU Support

[piorunz]

Ubuntu 22.04 is based on "bookworm/sid" so it should be pretty similar, though it's not exactly the same of course.

Did you do "apt install rocm-opencl" like I suggested?

Of course, I already told you the results. This package does not exist in Debian.

https://packages.debian.org/search?s...ds=rocm-opencl

[piorunz]

Yeah I mean that as a slight tweak to the ROCm install instructions! If you follow them you will see what I mean.

Where are ROCm install instructions please? https://repo.radeon.com/ doesn't have any frontend...

EDIT:
@Maxzor thanks for the link, I will have a look.

EDIT2:

I had a look. Garbage, just like half a years ago when I checked last time.

It says (attached picture)


Chances that these .deb files and repository will work with my 5.15 Debian Testing are minimal. Last time I spend a few days trying it, no luck.

Man, you are fast, I haven't even released the package yet :P

HAha...ok I was too fast, I hadn't updated my system in a while and got an update on the package now and saw it was now using the rocm... but as I get it..it is not 5.0.0..bu the old version runs good on my fury card

Thank you for the package!

The link of the package team tells you how far you are from finding the packages in debian/ubuntu without doing any tweak

The official install instructions are arguably still not great, but chances that ROCm works with your 5.15 kernel are sky high (it works here)!
Generally the ROCm documentation/press release teams are wayy too conservative when talking about "official support", and at the same time the support team is not reactive enough in the github issues. But the stack, given a bit of involvement, works suprprisingly well.

You have to follow the installation guide for Ubuntu of course!

Edit: here https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/I...de.html#ubuntu for example.

Then go the path of upstream kernel and install rocm-opencl.

OK. Went to that link. Added GPG key and repo (deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/5.0 ubuntu main)

rock-dkms does not exist in ROCm 5.0 repository, see for yourself:
https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/5.0/pool/main/r/

So I tried ROCm 4.5.2 (repository https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/4.5.2/)

Same result.

So finally I tried method you recommended "Using Debian-based ROCm with Upstream Kernel Drivers".

I checked, packages:

libstdc++-7-dev
libgcc-5-dev
libgcc-7-dev
libpython3.8

Does not exist in my Debian, nor they are present in Radeon repository. Tried that both with ROCm 5.0 and 4.5.2.

...

1. Open tickets left and right at AMD githubs telling them that their deb packages are horribly broken. Here and there for example

• https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm
• https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute...Kernel-Driver/

(2. Help packaging ROCm officially for Debian? We are really not that far and need manpower. This docker builder builds 5.0 up to rocm-hipamd so far)

[ernstp]

I added http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/

And then, don't install rocm-dkms, install rocm-opencl....

Thank you for the package!

I've updated it now for Arch, it should be working with ROCm 5.0 I think - Any feedback is welcome
p.s You also need `opencl-amd-dev` package if you want ML libraries and OpenCL / HIP SDK.

Thanks! Finally I installed all packages without problem. Amazing.

This worked. I have packages installed. OpenCL platform has been installed in my system.

But... My GPU is still not visible.
