Either that, or use a distribution that comes with ROCm / has packages. Fedora and ArchLinux from the top of my head.
We need to make some adjustments to the packaging to support Ubuntu 22.04. Debian has begun packaging ROCm itself and there are now some package name conflicts between the rocm repo and the jamming repo. That's my fault. I was volunteering with Debian to help get proper OS packages for ROCm and I failed to notice that conflict when it was introduced.

Your best place for information is the ROCm github issues page: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/issues
summary: no roadmap / no support matrix / no apus / no old gpus - atm. they are creating some new deployment methods so that they can finally support Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
The closest I could come re. documentation of currently "supported" hardware is this PR, which has AMD's attention:

I'm sure anybody who uses it for more than tinkering gets value from a shiny new graphics card.
I'm sure I'm horribly wrong on this. But it feels like each new version breaks/drops support for whatever AMD graphics support was finally put into working order in the last version.

I'm trying Ubuntu 22.04 out now, and I was expecting ROCm to be a PITA to install. I only needed rocm-opencl for OpenCL support so I'm not sure if any other ROCm package will have some dependency or other issue (there's talk in a Github ticket about 22.04 not being supported yet).
Here's how to get OpenCL working with ROCm on Ubuntu 22.04:
Add key:
Code:wget -O '/tmp/rocm.gpg.key' 'https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key' && sudo mv '/tmp/rocm.gpg.key' '/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/rocm.asc' && sync
Code:echo 'deb https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/latest/ ubuntu main' | sudo tee '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list' > '/dev/null' && cat '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list'
Code:sudo apt install 'rocm-opencl'
Code:sudo usermod --append --groups 'render,video' 'espionage724'

ROCm is decent after you install it. The problem is the packaging of it, which unfortunatelly is a real mess, I know, I have been packaging it for Solus for 2 months.
But the good news is that clearly team from AMD has really focused on fixing all of the packaging problems in recent months, and when they manage to mostly fix it, it should be a good solution. But they need to fix it ASAP.Last edited by JacekJagosz; 08 June 2022, 02:43 PM.
