[OpenCL] Problem installing AMD driver 22.20 for Radeon RX 6600 on jammy (22.04.1 LTS)

Support & Help Requests

#1

I have recently built a new system based on a Radeon RX and Jammy Jellyfish:

# cat /etc/os-release 
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION_ID="22.04"
VERSION="22.04.1 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"
VERSION_CODENAME=jammy
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
UBUNTU_CODENAME=jammy
# lspci | grep VGA
06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 23 [Radeon RX 6600/6600 XT/6600M] (rev c7)
#

Following the official AMD "Drivers & support" link from the RX6600 article I was hinted to download the "Radeon™ Software for Linux® installer version 22.20 for Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.04.01" under the "Ubuntu x86 64-Bit" which is located at https://www.amd.com/en/support/linux-drivers

Installing that 14k package was very easy:

# dpkg -i amdgpu-install_22.20.50200-1_all.deb 
Selecting previously unselected package amdgpu-install.
(Reading database ... 389158 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack amdgpu-install_22.20.50200-1_all.deb ...
Unpacking amdgpu-install (22.20.50200-1438747~22.04) ...
Setting up amdgpu-install (22.20.50200-1438747~22.04) ...
#

And then the radeon.com depots showed up as Hit 8 & 9 so that felt refreshing as for once this was a fun end-user experience:

At this point those are the AMD-related packages that were installed on my system (And perhaps that "libdrm-amdgpu1:amd64" and "xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu" were just garbage of a previously install/uninstall/purge quest that didn't ended up so well...)

# dpkg -l | grep -i amdgpu
ii  amdgpu-install                                              22.20.50200-1438747~22.04                  all          AMDGPU driver repository and installer
ii  libdrm-amdgpu1:amd64                                        2.4.110-1ubuntu1                           amd64        Userspace interface to amdgpu-specific kernel DRM services -- runtime

FACT: There seems to be VERY LITTLE documentation concerning Radeon drivers on Linux Ubuntu 22.04.1 but still I found this article which seemed to me like it could still hold onto some present day relevancy Installing or Uninstalling the AMDGPU stack — amdgpu graphics and compute stack unknown-build documentation

While at it I was also trying to go through all of this process via SSH but referencing the previous article made me realize I could possibly have better luck using TTY7 (There's a EULA to accept).

So I went in front of the box' monitor, logged on TTY7, opened a terminal then issued the following:

$ /usr/bin/amdgpu-install

And the Fight begins!

The previously referenced article suggests to execute the amdgpu-install command as a regular user (per the "$" in front of it) but my spider senses told me to sudo it. Which also failed but with different packages:

$ sudo amdgpu-install -y --usecase=workstation

I did then tried a couple of things:

The first thing I did before posting this was to search for "amd radeon" in this community's forum and even though I did found some posts about the subject that none were related to the drivers themselves in 22.04.x.

The closest thread I could find was left abandoned over 2 years ago Dedicated video driver not working - #3 by razvan_teodor

So tell me, oh dear Community, did anybody ever got it easy with AMD Drivers and 22.04.1? Like, for real?

Dedicated video driver not working
#2

What problem were you trying to solve? Are you saying that the RX 6600 did not function when you installed 22.04? Normally you don't need to do anything with AMD GPU's.

So tell me, oh dear Community, did anybody ever got it easy with AMD Drivers and 22.04.1? Like, for real?

YES! I have it easy with the official AMDGPU drivers.

DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS"

  Device-1: AMD Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590]

    v: 4.6 Mesa 22.0.5

They are, just like intel and contrary to nVidia drivers, already built-in in the kernel.

I don't have to install anything. And very likely neither do you !

What you probably think to be the official drivers are only a few proprietary driver extensions, also known as AMDGPU-PRO which are only needed for some (very few) special cases.

The AMDGPU-PRO extensions could actually make your graphics slower.

AMD opensourced their drivers years ago, added them to the kerneltree and actively maintain them !

Result: Every kernel update also delivers you the best and newest AMD drivers.

if you really really must have the newest drivers, install the newest HWE kernel

it is as simple as that

Read this:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDGPU-PRO

quote:

Users whose main use for their graphics card is gaming and other general home-use graphical hardware acceleration should use the open source AMDGPU drivers instead, since the performance of the open source drivers can be as much 100% more compared to AMDGPU-PRO.

And read this:

So why on earth are you installing the mostly unneeded proprietary extensions ??

Following the official AMD "Drivers & support" link from the RX6600 article I was hinted to download the "Radeon™ Software for Linux® installer version 22.20 for Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.04.01"

That was really bad advice.
If you don't have a special use case, don't install AMDGPU-PRO

Thanks a bunch for your fast (and conceive) replies. That helped me understanding the problem a little bit more.

That being said, I wish to use OpenCL therefore I have no choice but to go through this installation process. The proprietary one.

Sadly this thread needs to stay open for now it seems :frowning:

That makes sense.

If I wanted to use OpenCL on AMD I would try for a later kernel such as 5.19 that comes with the just released 22.10 for Ubuntu, soon for U-Mate. Not because I have any direct experience with it but because of articles that I read.

Hope it works out and let us know. I just ordered an ASUS RX 6600 so I would be interested. OpenCL is one of those topics I keep looking at and maybe someday will play around with it.

So what you're implying is that I should manually download and install kernel 5.19? Having never done that (yet) I am both stressed on the result and unsure on how to proceed.

But I will duck (As in duckduck) it out and follow-up with results hopefully helping the whole Community out.

#7

More like a clean install of 22.10. But yes, if you want to stick with 22.04, I know there are procedures for updating the kernel. As you suggested, search is your friend.

Hope it works.

#8

I guess the next problem you will be facing will be that the current AMD driver (v22.20) is only compatible with Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.04.01.

Guess we're back to square one.

#9

Maybe this could be of some help.

According to the link, that was expected:

N.B.:

  • As of AMDGPU-PRO 20.45-1188099-ubuntu-20.04 (and perhaps earlier), amdgpu-install does not honor --no-dkms option when run with --opencl=rocr, i.e. amdgpu-dkms is intalled and kernel module amdgpu.ko is compiled, replacing the one from Linux kernel tree.

These options are mutually exclusive:

--opencl=legacy  --no-dkms

These options are also mutually exclusive:

--opencl=legacy --headless

To get back to your earlier question; the reason for me posting the link in question was this:

I guess the next problem you will be facing will be that the current AMD driver (v22.20) is only compatible with Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.04.01.

To which the linked article has this to say:

amdgpu-install may complain that it can't install, because this is not Ubuntu version expected. Edit /etc/os-release and replace Ubuntu version with what installer wants. After amdgpu-install completes /etc/os-release may be changed back.

Anyway, let's get back on track:
The code below might just work and will probably do what you want:

 /usr/bin/amdgpu-install --usecase=opencl  --opencl=legacy

Rest to say that it keeps me wondering how closed this openCL actually is :slight_smile:

Thanks for your time and effort with this problem, I really appreciate it.

But I have 2 issues with your last reply:

#1

Blockquote
Edit /etc/os-release and replace Ubuntu version with what installer wants.

The installer fails at a distribution dependency update with no arguments:

$ sudo apt install amdgpu -y

And never once did it complained about Linux version.

#2.
By downloading The Official AMD Driver which markets this specific version of Ubuntu it still doesn't work natively. Then why isn't AMD keen enough to provide the source and avoid all of this mess?

But you are right: let's focus on the matter at hand. Here's the result of the command:

The AMD package seems to be corrupt or incomplete. At least one package is missing:

Unable to locate package opencl-legacy-amdgpu-pro-icd

(The rest of the errors, the unmet dependencies, seem to originate from manually installing the wrong version 'opencl-amdgpu-pro')

Best to open a bugreport on launchpad.net mentioning the error 'Unable to locate package opencl-legacy-amdgpu-pro-icd'
Also open a bugreport on bugzilla.freedesktop.org

Several AMD linux-devs are regulars on bugzilla and they always help out where they can.

I have very fond memories of the time I had some problems, after a kernel update, to get an ancient AMD GPU working that was already more than a decade out of production.

I filed a bugreport and before I knew it I had contact with the main devs from AMD HQ in Germany who offered lots of help. Following my findings they incorporated patches for it in the driver tree in no time.
You can imagine that that was a totally stunning but very joyful experience. :slight_smile:

I think my next video card on Linux will be a NVIDIA

Understandably so. OpenCL on nVidia is more mature at the moment.

For gaming on Linux though, I would choose AMD over nVidia any day. :slight_smile:

I have done so for launchpad @ Bug #1994085 “Unable to locate package opencl-legacy-amdgpu-pro-...” : Bugs : Ubuntu MATE

But for bugzilla I am not so sure:

I get you for gaming that you would choose AMD over NVIDIA and if there is anything I will remember from this story is definitely that.

Let's hope AMD hasn't done any cuts in Germany now :wink:

I'm not a developer, I mine crypto with OpenCL packages from AMD.

I recently bought an AMD RX 6600 to go in my main slot so I can retire my RX 580 and set it to just mine crypto.

Here's what I did:
Dowloaded version 22.20.50200-1
I ran this command to install the driver:
amdgpu-install --usecase=workstation -y --vulkan=pro --opencl=rocr,legacy

Then what happened was unexpected. I was unable to run clinfo as before in 20.04 LTS and I was unable to utilize OpenCL to mine crypto on the RX 6600. The miners kept complaining that there was only one device.

So I uninstalled the amdgpu-pro stack (leaving the repos) and pulled out the old card (RX 580).
Then I just went into synaptic package manager and searched for "rocm" and installed the package called rocm-core. It pulled the amdgpu-core packages and all the needed dependencies.

After that I was able to mine with OpenCL on my RX 6600, and I can also use it for gaming which is good. Haven't had any problems yet with just the 6600 in the machine. What sucks is that I used to use the GPU for compute cycles in Blender, but blender dropped OpenCL support in latest versions. LOL After that I felt I was going in circles.

I really wish I could tell you what really happened with details, but I'd have to test it by putting the old GPU back and re-installing, which I might do eventually because I really wanted the two GPUs in one machine.
