AMD drivers for Ubuntu 24.04 (AMD GPU PRO for latest linux kernel)

I tried to install latest available drivers, but it failed.
So when you will release drivers for new Ubuntu 24.04. And Why you have so long time delay?

Note: it's needed for Blender HIP rendering.

I installed ubuntu 24.04 and i'm facing the same problem here

I had an advance using this repo:
https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/latest/ubuntu/jammy/

After that i was issuing a problem envolving KMS version.

Now i'm facing software rendering as GPU and my second monitor is totally off! LOL !

 

Why is this so difficult to do on linux based systems ? 

I just gave up. I rollbacked to the initial state (amd-uninstall). Everything went "normal" again (system settings showing gpu hardware again and got back my second monitor)

I've just got a new Thinkpad T14 with a video card: Radeon™ 780M Graphics
And Ubuntu 24.04 as OS.
I could not find any Ubuntu 24.04 drivers for this yet.
Can anybody help me with this issue?

I tried following jammy driver and luckily is working :
https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/latest/ubuntu/jammy/

PS: of course, I prefer noble-numbat drivers if exists.

The Ubuntu 24.04 have Linux kernel 6.8 with latest amdgpu drivers for your card - all should works fine except blender cycles rendering. This is topic about amdgpu pro that should be installed over amdgpu driver in kernel but at now latest available driver can't be installed because AMD still not release new drivers…

Hello Community,

 

I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 and my cycles render stopped using the GPU. This seems to be a common issue as the amdgpu-install script from the radeon package's apt source doesn't have support for noble (yet). The downloadable package direct from AMD doesn't mention 24.04 noble support yet either. I should mention that I did find that some had success with amdgpu-install but I only intend to use blender and don't game. That being said this may conflict with amdgpu-install (not sure) so YMMV. My primary use of the accelerated driver is exclusive to blender so this was initially a drag. Upon further investigation I  can report that I was able to utilize my AMD Radeon 6600 though.

 

This may already be common knowledge, or have a well known fix, but I found only scant information in this regard.

 

Unfortunately during my quest to enable the GPU I did not keep good documentation, I will post what I did in the hopes someone else needing this will benefit. 

 

AMD seems to be bringing better support for AMD GPU in the distro related to ROCm and hip. ROCm and HIP are used by blender to utilize the GPU in cycles.

 

My hardware/software:

 

Ryzen 5 3600

AMD Radeon 6600

 

Ubuntu 24.04

Blender 4.1

 

 

The solution for me:

sudo apt-get install libamdhip64-dev rocm-opencl-sdk rocm-core rocm-cmake rocm-smi rocm-device-libs-17 librocm-smi-dev

 

After the packages  were installed the GPU option appeared and eventually after rebooting and fiddling with the Edit/Preferences (selecting Radeon under the HIP Tab in System). I was able to have a non-greyed out GPU selected under Render cycles settings.

 

To confirm that I was actually utilizing the GPU I ran System Monitor and radeontop. Before blender would peg all my AMD Ryzen cores, after the solution was implemented the load shifted over to radeontop.

 

Hope this helps someone.

I found this release
https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/6.2/ubuntu/noble/

But i not tried to install yet. 

 

I'm facing a really annoying keyboard input lag with X11. And when the lag is ocurring i also noticed a freezing, with the same time, at any video that is streaming (e.g Youtube)

I can't understand why he should install the pro driver, since his driver is Radeon™ 780M. Can you tell me why the pro version should be installed?

I don't know how related my question is to this topic but I'll try anyways:

I have a NAS running TrueNAS Scale.

On that I have an Ubuntu 24.04 VM.
I passthrough my Ryzen 4650Gs iGPU to this VM (which was quite a journey, see https://forums.truenas.com/t/gpu-vm-passthrough/9783).

 

I do have a /dev/dri/card1 device but no /dev/dri/renderD128.

I tried installing AMDGPU drivers via the installer package under https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/6.2/ubuntu/noble/ . This changed nothing though.

I want to use the iGPU to accelerate transcodes for my Jellyfin server running as a container in the VM.

 

I also found this in syslog:

Any ideas?

I've had the same problem last week. Acer Aspire 5 - Ryzen 7 - Radeon RX 640

Already successfully installed on same machine, just running amdgpu-install, on Linux Mint. 

 

On Ubuntu 24.04 the same procedure had the amdgpu-dkms failure without any solution. 

But I found this link: Ubuntu native installation when I'm about to give up and it works like a charm for me.

Hello guys,

i think figured it out!

it is needed to add this repo:

https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/6.2/ubuntu/noble/

afterwards you need to:

sudo apt install libamdhip64-dev rocm-opencl-sdk rocm-core rocm-cmake rocm-smi rocm-device-libs-17 librocm-smi-dev

 

next is to install amdgpu-install script and start it with sudo eg:

sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=graphics

thats it...

do Not forget to reboot nowScreenshot from 2024-10-09 07-01-53.pngresultsresults
