Davinci Resolve - Mint 21 & AMD 5700 XT

Getting the GPU not configured error on boot. Have downloaded the latest AMD drivers from their site but no luck. Any help appreciated

Getting the GPU not configured error on boot.

Welcome to the forum, 149113.

I am not familiar with that error. What exactly is the error and when is it showing? That sounds more like an error that DaVinci Resolve would give rather than one from Linux Mint.

Please give us information about your install by entering this command in a terminal:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxxxrz

Click </> from the mini toolbar above the textbox where you type your reply and then place your cursor between the code tags and paste the results of the command between the code tags [code]Results[/code]. This will let us know how Mint sees your hardware.

I'll move your topic to the Software & Applications section of the forum because the screenshots you posted are specifically related to DaVinci Resolve. What version did you install? DaVinci has very specific requirements. I'll go back through my notes once I know what version you installed.

[149113]

A little more background information on the build. This is a triple boot system with MacOS 12.5, Window 10 and Mint 21. Each OS on it's own NVME drive separate EFI folders but using Opencore to boot all of them. No issues at all there. Davinci Resolve works fine on both OSX and Windows so I know this video card is support natively in Davinci. I am trying out Resolve on Mint and this was the error I am getting. I think I have the latest AMD drivers installed and all the supporting libraries are configured as well. Version 18 or Resolve and the AMD 5700 XT is a supported card for sure

[SMG]

I think I have the latest AMD drivers installed and all the supporting libraries are configured as well. Version 18 or Resolve and the AMD 5700 XT is a supported card for sure

Unless something has changed very recently, AMD does not ship the OpenCL or Vulcan packages as part of the driver which is automatically included in the Linux kernel. I do not know if that will change in the future, but it seems, for now, these are only included is what was previously known as the AMD "pro" drivers. AMD is no longer calling those packages the "pro" drivers, but they are separate packages which must be obtained from their website.

OpenCL packages are not required by most applications, but they are required for DaVinci Resolve and some other "high-performance" applications. Here is the AMD Linux Drivers webpage with the "Radeon™ Software for Linux® installer version 22.20 for Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.04.01" (the second option under Ubuntu x86 64-Bit). Make sure to grab the right Ubuntu-based version.

How AMD has been handling this has been an evolving situation over the past six months or so. That means any feedback you give will be helpful for others, but I have not received any feedback recently so my ability to give you a heads up is a bit limited. I recommend taking a Timeshift snapshot before you start. That makes it easier to roll back to your previous state if you have any issues. I don't see a lot of changes in the directions they have provided, so I don't think you will run into issues, but make sure you install the OpenCL part of the package when you run the installer command.

Once you get the OpenCL packages installed, it's my understanding you will need to make a few settings changes on the DaVinci Memory and GPU screenshot you posted:

• For GPU Processing Mode, you want to uncheck "Auto" and then select OpenCL from the drop-down.
• For GPU selection, you may need to uncheck "Auto" and then select your AMD card. (The last person I helped had dual graphics, Intel & AMD. You do not so you may not need to do that, but make sure the AMD card does show on that screen. Right now, it is not.)
• Save your changes. (You may then need to restart DaVinci Resolve for the changes to activate.)

If you have any questions or concerns, just let us know.

If you do a search on this forum for "Davinci" you will find a number of other topics where people discuss the issues they have had with the software (file extensions, differences between paid and free, etc.). It's my understanding that not everything works exactly the same way on Linux-based distros as it does for other operating system. However, I suspect that is an evolving situation so thing may be better than they have been in the past.

Thank you for the very comprehensive reply, very much appreciated.

So I followed the link and installed the second package which is amdgpu-install_22.20.50200-1_all.deb. The file was dated 7/14/22. I got message stating that this was already installed previously but I went ahead and installed again.

Then I started Davinci again and the drop down for the GPU selection does not contain anything. I would expect to see OpenCL in there but it's just blank indicating that Davinci doesn't think OpenCL is present. Is there some trick to installing OpenCL separately as a way around this?

Did you run the amdgpu installer after you installed the package? Or did it prompt you to do that?

As I mentioned, they have been making changes to how things are done, but I believe one still has to specify to install OpenCL when installing. Linked from the page with the driver are the Radeon™ Software for Linux® Installation.

If you click on the Using the amdgpu-install Script on the Instructions page and go down the page to "Specifying an OpenCL Implementation' they still mention it as being an optional component. You have newer hardware so you would use the --opencl=rocr when you run the installer from the command line (or you could install both the old and the new).

If you just ran the installer by double-clicking it or something similar, my guess is it will only use the normal defaults and not install the optional OpenCL part.

I'm not sure how clear those instructions are. AMD has been changing their webpages and the links and here is one I had saved in the past when the download was handled differently. I have the below link starting at the part where it explains how to run the script.
Radeon™ Software for Linux® Installation: Using the amdgpu-install Script
This link has the directions all on one page and may be easier to understand. You need to put the --opencl=rocr on the same line similar to the below:

Code: Select all

$ ./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=pal,legacy

I do not have an AMD GPU to test this, so just keep asking if you have questions or something does not look correct.

[149113]

The files on the AMD site are .deb files, not .tar files as all the doc seems to indicate they should be. So when you click on them they just launch and install via the GUI. Is there a way to just get the tar files that contain the install script?

[SMG]

So when you click on them they just launch and install via the GUI.

Could you provide a screenshot of this GUI?

[SMG]

When others have installed from the AMD website, I usually see repos in their inxi output. I don't see those in yours.

Looking at the AMD Prerequisites, they mention downloading the installer package and then installing the installer package.

Installing “amdgpu-install” will add the installer and AMD related repositories to your system. The repositories will be accessible to the system package manager, which is in turn used by the installer.

Then the next page is "Using the amdgpu-install Script".

Maybe the GUI you referenced is just installing the installer package?

[149113]

After reading a lot it looks like OpenCL on this version of linux just didn't work. But I found this and it works

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comment ... t/ifaadua/

sudo apt-get install -y mesa-opencl-icd

Davinci now starts with no errors. Have no idea if there is a downside to this but I will monitor performance and see... somewhat related, is there a benchmarking equivalent in Mint like a Geekbench see how the CPU and GPU are performing. Would be interested to see how it compares to the OSX and Windows installs

Thanks again!

[SMG]

Thanks for the feedback. I believe that is an alternative package set for OpenCL (ie. not from AMD). If you took a Timeshift snapshot before starting (or before installing that version), it will be easy enough to undo if you do run into issues. There are not a lot of programs which use OpenCL so I doubt you would run into a conflict.

I do not normally handle those types of questions so I do not know. I know there are tools you can install to monitor performance, but have no idea if there is something for comparisons.
