openCL linux debian bullseye / sid

hello to all.

i'm on debian bullseye testing / sid

I'm looking to install openCL since amdgpu-pro 20.45.

I know debian works with ubuntu (which I also have) but I much prefer debian.

Do you have any leads, ideas ? solutions ?

(amd rx 6800 under sid)

friendly.

Alain.

ps: even if it's negative, you can answer me.

Hi,

Running Debian testing/bullseye with a Ryzen 3600 32GB ram and 2 videocards. Primary Radeon RX 580 used as a 2nd mining card when I am not gaming or doing heavy workloads. The Nvida GTX 1070 is for mining only.

Installing the opencl drivers is fairly easy, download the latest AMD drivers untar them in a directory of your choose.

CD into that directory and run the following command: amdgpu-install --opencl=legacy --headless --no-dkms

That should install the following packages:

amdgpu-core
amdgpu-pin
amdgpu-pro-core
clinfo-amdgpu-pro
libdrm-amdgpu-amdgpu1
libdrm-amdgpu-common
libdrm2-amdgpu
ocl-icd-libopencl1-amdgpu-pro
opencl-orca-amdgpu-pro-icd

Unfortunately you cannot install the opencl drivers for rocr as hat is only possible if you have kernel 5.9 or earlier.

Debian testing is already on kernel 5.10. Hopefully AMD will provide us with a drivers which can be installed on kernels 5.10 and/or higher.

Scrounging around to find another 2nd hand RX 580 got this one for EUR.300. Wish I could buy a RX 6800 (XT) for just around MSRP.

Hello,

Has there been any developments in this? I use Debian 11 Bullseye, and I don't know to install OpenCL support. Please help.

Thanks,

That was very promising! Unfortunately, didn't work with my card.

I've taken apart all these scripts and were installing it back and forth, including manual installation of files, installing via their git install scipt, installing via amd-install script without dkms, but everything failed. I was cleaning it and uninstalling each time in between attempts.

I can have mesa drivers from that AMD package, and it works, but openCL despite being installed manually via these scripts doesn't detect my card. I have 1 new openCP platform visible in "clinfo" but 0 devices.

 

Any news from AMD, when will DKMS be fixed on debian? If DKMS is fixed I can just install entire driver without picking apart pieces like OpenCL which then don't work..

I just read you post. Thanks.

Wow so we need AMD to step up here! I've tried rocr and legacy versions, but none of them work. AMD please update it!

Thanks Roesjka. Your command works, it installs OpenCL well.

but, unfortunately, the installation is not operational.

The feedback from clinfo shows that neither the CPU nor the GPU is recognized by OpenCL.

So I cancelled your command.

actually , on debian , OpenCL do not work at all

also tested on a virtual machine . (Linux ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS)

do not  work anymore .

I can confirm there is currently no way to get opencl working on debian bullseye with my 6900 XT.

Here is what I tried:

amdgpu-pro-21.20: Installs but does not work.

amdgpu-pro-21.30: Does not install same issue as the others have with the kernel build failing.

ROCm: Does not support RDNA2 or kernel 5.10.

mesa clover: Pretty much useless for everything atm.

If anyone has found a solution for this I am very much interested in hearing it but as far as I can tell we might be screwed until next april when ubuntu 22.04 comes out and amd releases an update to support it.

AMD, bump! We need this.

There has been a development with rocm.

https://old.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/qk2lgi/official_rocm_website_now_lists_support_for_rdna_2/

One comment there mentions being able to install it on debian bullseye but does not say how.

I will take a shot at trying to figure out what he did next weekend and will post how if I have any luck.

After fiddling around for 8 hours I am 'lucky' to know it is not my fault so far.

@bradx954could you find something out from the Reddit guy?

 

Is there any other update so far?

 

First I tried to get it running in a virtual machine. This did not work at all, it seems like you need to install the OpenCL driver also on the host even when using PCI-e passthrough.

Has anyone else tried that?

 

I hope AMD will finally notice us.

No I was not able to get it to work unfortunately.

I think we are just **bleep** out of luck until amd does something.

AMD has made this for ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS :

https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/21.40.1/ubuntu/focal/amdgpu-install_21.40.1.40501-1_all.deb 

but i don't know how to use it ?

documentations :

https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/21.40/ 

https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Current_Release_Notes/Current-Release-Notes.html 

do someone can give me explanations ? i understand nothing .

especially for debian .

thanks a lot .

I'm running Ubuntu 21.10 with a Vega 64. With earlier releases I added rocm.list first, and then I could install OpenCL only with the following command:

amdgpu-install opencl=rocr --headless --no-dkms

This used to work quite well, this will install OpenCL only, and it won't try to compile a kernel module, which fails on my system. I've tested this with a number of OpenCL programs like Folding at Home, and Blender 2.9, and it all was working.

AMD has now merged the amdgpu-pro driver with ROCm, and you can use a new installation program. I've installed this new OpenCL driver on my system with the following command:

sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=opencl --no-dkms --no-32

I'm still using no-dkms because I'm not running one of the supported kernels, and I'm using no-32 to get rid of missing dependencies. This seems to be working as well.

There was one issue though, my system obviously is too new, and was missing libgcc-7-dev, and libpython3.8. I saw somewhere that you could get around this by creating dummy versions of libgcc-7-dev, and libpython3.8, and then linking the dummy libpython3.8 to 3.9. This did the trick indeed.

The other day I saw a post announcing that Blender 3 will be removing support for OpenCL, and will be using HIP. That's why I've currently installed not only OpenCL, but HIP (and other ROCm stuff) as well with the following command:

sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=rocm --no-dkms --no-32

thank you ableeker .

but unfornately , your commands do not seem to work at all on my config .

I'm assuming you've installed the new installation program first? You can download it from AMD.com. It's a rpm/deb file, and I got the Ubuntu version installed in the end.

AMD, any news on this? We need OpenCL on Debian!

This installs successfully on debian bullseye but yields this below when running clinfo. I think the issue is rocm still does not support rdna2. You mention you have a vega 64 which is supported by rocm which is why your command will work for you but not the other commentator. I feel pretty optimistic this is a step in the right direction by amd though since it does not try to compile kernel modules or anything in the installer we just have to hope rocm 5 brings proper rdna2 support.

hello and good morning to all.
my last message said that I had succeeded in installing openCL on my Debian .

it's true but from the archive (version 21.30) .

from the repository provided in *.deb file by AMD, nothing to do, I can't do it  :

amdgpu-install --opencl=rocr --no-dkms

Lecture des listes de paquets... Fait
Construction de l'arbre des dépendances... Fait
Lecture des informations d'état... Fait
E: Impossible de trouver le paquet amdgpu-lib
E: Impossible de trouver le paquet amdgpu-lib32
E: Impossible de trouver le paquet rocm-hip-runtime
E: Impossible de trouver le paquet rocm-opencl-runtime

I don't understand the documentation which, for me, is obscure and badly written.
Can you help me ?

RX 6800 / R9 3900X / Asus Prime X 570 Pro . / Debian Bookworm-sid kernel 5.15.6 (kernel.org)

have you a (or some) command(s) i can try  with success  on my machine ?

why are you replacing the traditionnal archive with a repository ?

goal : to install OpenCL ROCr/ROCm on my machine in order to use blender at its full potential (among other things) and to be able to do Phoronix performance tests (benchs).

thanks .

note : also tested on a ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS virtual machine (virtual box) , same problem . same output .

i think the repository is not ready .

good evening to all.
I just upgraded my ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS .
here is my kernel :

Linux dany-VirtualBox 5.11.0-43-generic #47~20.04.2-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 13 11:06:56 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I used the following command after installing the *.deb package which put the sources in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

amdgpu-install --opencl=rocr --no-dkms

here is what I got.
is it due to the virtual machine ?

Debian maintainers are working with AMD to solve this:

https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/linux-graphics-x-org-drivers/open-source-amd-linux/1296835-deb...

 

I hope will have working OpenCL in Debian soon!

here is the solution I found so far :

openCL Debian with script  


on the other hand, the solution with AMD sources does not work under debian and badly under ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS.
but maybe it comes from the v.m. (for ubuntu under  virtualbox) ?

The commands given should work for legacy cards (pre VEGA) it does not work for rx 6xxx cards.

For that to work you should use the amdgpu-install -y --opencl=rocr --headless

But on Debian bullseye or testing/bookworm you'll probably get dkms issues as not being able to configure.

So until a someone comes with a brilliant idea (SPECIALLY LOOKING AT THE AMD devs.) Debian users are stuck while it is the mother/father of ALL Debian derivatives like Ubuntu, LinuxMint etc.

You can install the openCL part when you boot with the old kernel and use -headless to get only the rocR part, what is what you really need. Have a look at my post here about this topic:

Thanks, but I don't have old kernel - Debian 11 is shipped with 5.10, there is no way to have older kernel in this system.

Debian has been released in August 2021, no OpenCL for this system since release.

I guess you need to use a kernel 5.8. anyways. The driver download page here notes: Note: Customers who have upgraded to the latest 5.11 kernel for Ubuntu will need to downgrade to the 5.8 kernel for proper 21.Q3 driver support.

Even if this note is not shown up when you try to download Radeon™ Software for Linux® Driver for Ubuntu 20.04.3 Revision Number 21.30 I learned that it only works with 5.8 during the install process.

Your post is about Ubuntu 20.4.2/3 LTS not abt. Debian.

You are right. I just wanted to point out that there was a way to bypass the dkms-error when installing openCL on Ubuntu with newer kernel, so you might be able to do something similar on Debian. The drivers that can be installed via amdgpu-pro-install are only supporting kernel 5.8, no matter if it's Ubuntu or Debian. I hope you can find a solution that works for you.

Bullseye is now stable and the following used to work

./amdgpu-install --opencl=legacy --headless --no-dkms

using the ubuntu 21.30 drivers.

Bookworm is now sid and installing 21.30 drivers causes the desktop environment to crash on boot. 

I can't find a place to download the new drivers, 21.40, to try them.  There is only the 14kb file at: https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/radeon-500-series/radeon-rx-500-series/radeon-rx-580.

Attempting to use this file in the following way causes failures:

Is there a place where I can download the actual driver so that I can try to install them???

hi , bret397458 .

you can use these two scripts :

for installation :

firefox https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yJA2dej3A2Vda8cy1GlaAWXKkFqlXrl4/view?usp=sharing

to uninstall :

firefox https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tElemvFCCjWh8S1nXlgBhbQY_Y0QPaRT/view?usp=sharing

it will automatically download , decompress and install the 21.30 OpenCL drivers archive .

the second link will fully uninstall OpenCL from being installed with the previous link .

use "clinfo" to control the installation process once done this .

Alain,

Please reread my post.  The 21.30 drivers don't work on bookworm/gnome 41.  The DE crashes on startup.  I'm looking for the 21.40 drivers.  Thanks!

Hello Bret397458.

on my configuration (bookworm/sid), I have very few problems.
everything seems to work fine.
I have minor screen refreshment problems.
I have to restart the desktop.
but on the whole everything is fine.
I don't have any desktop crashes at startup.
the solution I submitted to you works well for me.
I thought it would be the same for you.
I didn't manage to do it, sorry.

I wish you good luck in your research and thank you for your participation.
It brings me some thoughts that I will dig up soon.
while waiting for the solution.

Happy Christmas and New Year's Eve.

with kind regards .

Alain,

You have it working on bookworm, interesting.  My experience was that after upgrading my bullseye to bookworm my pc would crash on start.  I didn't know what the problem was so I reformatted and reinstalled bookworm.  Everything was fine and then I installed 21.30 opencl and it crashed on boot but when i purged all amd* then it booted fine.  I tried multiple times so I just assumed that it was borked for bookworm.  I will it your way exactly when I get back home for the holidays.  Thanks, and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well!!

-Bret

I did not understand.
What do you mean?
what did you do?
"but when i purged all amd* then it booted fine"

I would have tried to help you but this is not the place to do it.
I wonder if your desk is not a little too heavy for your configuration.
what version of gnome do you have?
Upgrading to higher versions of gnome is sometimes not done without some bumps and problems.
if I'm not mistaken, I think that my move to gnome 41 brought me some problems.
It took me a good month to understand how to use it.
I was completely confused.

good luck.

late, merry christmas.
and happy new year .

friendly
alain

Alain Bon Année,

Do I just run the script or do I have to give some parameters?

For my RX 580 I have it working on Debian testing/bookworm as it doesn't need the amdgpu-dkms.

Installed it amdgpu-pro-21.30 driver with just amdgpu-install --opencl=legacy --headless --no-dkms which is fine for the RX580.

Bur I also have a RX 6600 XT and that one needs --opencl=rocr and in that case --no-dkms doesn't work as it faults on amdgpu-dkms and amdgpu-core. It would be nice to get them both working.

If I have to rollback to Debian buster for this to get working so be it.

Thanks for the scripts anyway.

Hi Roesjka
happy new year to you too .

here is my tuto : openCL sur AMD . 

the script I mention in my tuto is functional for RX 6000 .

scripts git RX 6000 

the scripts I describe for RX500 is working but with old versions of debian . until debian 10 / 11 .

RX 500 OpenCL Debian 10 / 11  

 

friendly .

if it could help you ...

For the moment, the amd repository does not work at all with debian.

or else, I am mistaken and I am in error.
but not sure.
yet I appreciate a lot the participation of the community ...
really nice.

Thanks a lot.

 

nb: Do I just run the script or do I have to give some parameters?

no , just take back the two scripts and run each other like you want .

normally , with no parameters .
