Drivers & Software

[unm]

I'm trying to get the amdgpu pro driver working on any linux platform, So far I'm not successful with any atempt.

I've tried:

1. Ubuntu 16.04
2. Ubuntu 16.10
3. Ubuntu 17.10
4. Linux Mint Sylvia
5. Manjaro - didn`t boot, even with nomodeset
6. Antergos - didn`t boot, even with nomodeset

All those attempts was made in a fresh installation

The steps I did was as it follows:

• Download the 17.50 version of the driver from here: https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-for-Linux-Release-Notes.aspx
• Updated the system to the lasted stable version, whitout adding any new repository
• Extract it in a folder
• Executed the ./amdgpu-pro-install -y command
• rebooted
• Black screen =/
• I read at some foruns to add amdgrpu.si_support = 1 radeon.si_support = 0 amdgpu.cik_support = 1 radeon.cik_support = 0, so I did
• Erase the 10-radeon.conf from /usr/share/x11/10-radeon.conf
• Erase the old 10-amdgpu.conf from /use/share/x11/10-amdgpu.conf
• Still black screen

I tried changing kernels at ubuntu 16.04, since it`s the supported OS, updated to 4.15, from 4.13,  but still couldn`t make it work.

I'm using a RX480 which is a card tecnically supported for the driver

I doubt it`s the card that`s at fault because I`m using it at a windows installation and is working just fine.

Anyone can find any miss step that I did? Or if the driver is just not working properly?

Is there any resolution to this issue or do I need to switch to nvidia? I have an RX 560 and have also tried every suggested solution I could find. NOTHING works.

Good News! I downloaded the 'daily build' of the preliminary ubuntu 18.04, and my RX 560 works.
