Hello,

This driver (version 18.10-572953 for Ubuntu 16.04.4) linked on this page appears to be a broken archive, and is about half the size (~252MB compared to ~548MB for v17.50) of the usual driver packages for this platform. Is this a broken archive? Is there an alternative download link?

Thanks.

Hey,

I have downloaded 18.1 for Red Hat E, i encountered no problems with the package.

I'm now trying to install on fedora but some icd packages missing. please make sure that you have an 4.16 or above kernel installed.

And follow the new installation instructions for 18.1 Radeon Software for Linux Installation

I'm also download it for Ubuntu and extract it successfully. https://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ubuntu/amdgpu-pro-18.10-572953.tar.xz

Cant test the installation because I dont use ubuntu.

Hi Josie,

Yes, it looks like the archive has been corrected. It is now back to the correct size of 545MB.

Thanks!

Problem still occurs. Maybe some issue with some CDN network?

Hey szogun1987​, since AMD's support is laughable at best, I mirrored the archive on Mega for you. Best of luck!

https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/workstation?os=Linux%20x86_64#pro-driver

download size for "Radeon™ Pro Software Enterprise Edition for RHEL 6.9 / CentOS 6" is 115 MB where as "Radeon™ Pro Software Enterprise Edition for Ubuntu 16.04.4" is 545MB

Does RHEL 6.9 download is also broken?

Hi shri, if you search around the forums, you'll see people have been reporting these corrupted archives for literally years. Whatever CDN AMD uses appears to periodically corrupt random archives until the next update cycle, though they have never acknowledged the problem and rarely offer any useful support for these issues.

My advice is to wait a few days and try again, or to find a mirror somewhere else. Best of luck!
