Did you try with Kernel 6.5 ?

[le-patenteux]

Hello, thank you for the amazing work.

Did you try to do the same on kernel 6.5?
It does not seem to work completely for me... Per example, installing rocminfo works, but invoking it says it was not installed

Also, rebooting the PC, I then loose most GPU functionalities and have to revert to an earlier snapshot of my system.

Hey, no worries!
I did try kernel 6.5 (and Blender 4.0 that is) and it worked for me. What isn't working is the newest ROCm version (5.7.1). I tested on an iGPU which is for this newest release marked as unsupported by AMD, so that might be the reason. What is your setup?

aaaah! Thanks for that! I installed 5.7.1 on an APU !!!

I will try with 5.6.1 and report back...

Do you know what is the latest version I can use?

[danrauch]

In the ROCm documentation of 5.6.1 there is no remark regarding iGPU and AMD started adding the remark with 5.7.0, so I guess 5.6.1 is the latest supported version for iGPUs.

I tried this morning, but for now, I can't seem to be able to install it completely..
When installing rocminfo, the apt process succeeds, but typing rocminfo says that this command does not exist

Have you added rocminfo to PATH like described in this section:
https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/deploy/linux/os-native/install.html#post-install-actions
Relevant part: export PATH=$PATH:/opt/rocm-5.7.1/bin:/opt/rocm-5.7.1/opencl/bin (adjust version numbers!)

If not you can try if this works: /opt/rocm/bin/rocminfo

ooooh! It is the first time I am trying it out so I am at a lost! Thanks for your guidance... I did not read the AMD documentation, I was following your guide here instead!

So, I progressed... rocminfo gives me an output...
I am launching Blender directly from the extracted tar archive, but I am guessing I have some reading to do there to to create some paths and aliases because Blender still does not see my GPU...

I will dig deeper, thank you!

So... looking at it a little deeper there was an error when installing and I had to downgrade libelf-dev...
It worked and I was able to install rocm, but now I am scared to reboot! :D (Last time I did something like this, I borked my system)

Details:
I have no idea what libelf-dev does... it gave me this error:
libelf-dev : Depends: libelf1 (= 0.186-1build1) but 0.188-1~bpo22.04.1 is to be installed

Fiddling around with aptitude got me to the point where I was able to downgrade libelf1 0.188 to 0.186 but I am not certain it was the best solution... maybe 0.188 could have worked but I can't tell how...
