<SOLVED> Installing amdgpu-pro: "Not a directory" error

[chellrose]

I recently installed a Radeon RX570, and Mint 19. I am trying to install amdgpu-pro 18.40 using the suggestions in this post.

I have changed the OS in the install file from ubuntu to linuxmint, and I'm running

Code: Select all

sudo bash amdgpu-pro-install

The installer starts to run, but then spits out this error:

Code: Select all

amdgpu-pro-install: line 211: cd: amdgpu-pro-install: Not a directory

Can anyone help with this? The offending code in the install file is this:

Code: Select all

PROG_DIR=$(cd ${0%/*} && pwd -P)

I have also tried running the other version of the installer,

Code: Select all

amdgpu-install

with and without the -y option. I get similar "Not a directory" errors in all cases.

If you followed the instructions in the topic How do I install AMDGPU-Pro on Mint 19?, then the amdgpu-pro-install script should not be changed. There are two changes made to the /etc/os-release file.

Also, the command sudo bash amdgpu-pro-install won’t work. Follow the other installation instructions in that topic.


EDITED: This command will work:
sudo bash /home/your-user-name/amdgpu-pro18.40-676022-ubuntu-18.04/amdgpu-pro-install

[chellrose]

Thanks for replying. Regarding bash: I was getting "#!/bin/bash not found" errors when trying to install via the normal method. Removing the shebang line at the top of the install file and then using bash at the terminal is the only way I can get it to execute to any degree.

I have made the changes to the os-release file and am running the unmodified (except for the aforementioned bash change) install file. Still getting "not a directory" error.

[roblm]

Are you saying these instructions won’t work, without changing the amdgpu-pro-install script:

Open the extracted amdgpu-pro18.40-676022-ubuntu-18.04 folder in the File Manager. Right click in the empty space and select Open in Terminal. Use the command ./amdgpu-pro-install

[chellrose]

Huh. The first time I tried that, it gave a "#!/bin/bash not found" error.

I deleted the directory, re-extracted it from the tarball, and ran your command again. It appears to have run this time... however, when it gets to the end, it gives this message:

Code: Select all

Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-3ubuntu1) ...
N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/var/opt/amdgpu-pro-local/./amdgpu-core_18.40-676022_all.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

This appears whether I use the command with or without sudo.

I have rebooted the system, but can't tell if the driver is installed properly.

Code: Select all

lsmod|grep amd

does show amdgpu and other amd things, but I can't find any way to tweak display settings other than the default Mint application. Is there an application or command I can use? I have Googled "configure amdgpu-pro on mint" and the like, but am not finding anything helpful.

Thank you for your help!

[roblm]

I have rebooted the system, but can't tell if the driver is installed properly.

Use this command: grep hybrid /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Check for these two lines, referring to the AMDGPU hybrid driver:

Code: Select all

[     5.936] (II) AMDGPU(0): AMDGPU DDX hybrid version: 18.40.2.15
[     5.936] (II) AMDGPU(0): AMDGPU kernel module hybrid version: 18.40.2.15

EDITED:
Use this command: grep libglx /var/log/Xorg.0.log. The module libglx.so should be loading from here:
/opt/amdgpu-pro/lib/xorg/modules/extensions


Use this command to check for the AMD kernel modules being built:
ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates

The output should list these modules:
amdchash.ko amdgpu.ko amdkcl.ko amdkfd.ko amd-sched.ko amdttm.ko


Use the command ls /opt to check for these two folders in the newly created opt directory:
amdgpu amdgpu-pro

I can't find any way to tweak display settings other than the default Mint application.

There is no AMD GUI display utility installed. You may be thinking of the Catalyst Control Center, which was installed with the proprietary AMD fglrx driver in Mint 17.

[chellrose]

Thank you. The commands you listed do give the proper output, so it looks like everything is good!

Is there no way to change display resolution, monitor configuration, etc. (besides the default Mint utility, which isn't playing nicely with my primary monitor)? I don't mind using terminal commands if necessary.

[roblm]

What display problem are you having?

Post the output of these commands: inxi -SMCGx and xrandr --prop

What is the brand and model number of the monitor(s)?

[chellrose]

My primary monitor is a Sanyo TV, model no. FW40D36F. The resolution (which *should* be 1920 x 1080) has the display larger than the screen itself, so that the panel, window menus, etc. are not visible. It seems that the display is only about a title-bar's width too wide, though, as I can move the cursor just off-screen and double-click (presumably on the title bar) of a maximized window to shrink it.
I think it's largely a TV issue, as the problem has shown up in every OS I've ever connected to the thing. In Windows, I get around this by using the "HDMI scaling" function within the AMD Radeon software.

Setting any resolution other than 1920x1080, 1280x800, or 1280x720 in the Mint display preferences causes the TV to give this message:

Code: Select all

This TV does not support the output format, video resolution and/or refresh rate being sent by the connected device.
Please refer to the user manual of this TV for a list of supported input formats, resolutions and refresh rates and modify the settings in your connected device.

The user manual for the TV lists a few resolutions, but none work other than the three mentioned above. The 1280x* resolutions make the display huge compared to the screen area.

The HDMI is the monitor in question. DVI is my smaller second monitor (which has proper display, and is currently set as the primary display) and I'm not sure what the DisplayPorts are.

[roblm]

Use this command to turn on the underscan feature to auto for output HDMI-A-0:

Code: Select all

xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --set underscan auto

If that doesn’t correct the overscan problem on the monitor, then use this command to set underscan to on:

Code: Select all

xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --set underscan on

Then use this command to underscan the display’s borders by 30 pixels:

Code: Select all

xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --set "underscan hborder" 30 --set "underscan vborder" 30

The value 30 can be changed for hborder (horizontal border) and vborder (vertical border) to get the final setting.

Here's a tip in case you're not aware of it, while using the Terminal or Virtual Terminal like tty1. Press the UP Arrow key to bring up previously typed and executed commands, so you won't need to retype them. Use the left and right Arrow keys to move the cursor.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Underscan works like a charm. Glad to have this finally up and running!

[roblm]

I will post instructions on how to execute the xrandr command automatically after each restart but first I need to know which command solved the problem. Was it xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --set underscan auto or the other two, which may have required some testing to get the correct value.

[chellrose]

It was

Code: Select all

xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --set underscan on

and

Code: Select all

xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --set "underscan hborder" 105 --set "underscan vborder" 70

[roblm]

Create a script. Open the File Manager, right click in the empty space and select Create New Document > Empty Document. Name it .overscan (the dot makes it hidden). Add these lines:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --set underscan on && xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --set "underscan hborder" 105 --set "underscan vborder" 70

Save the file and close it. Right click on it and select Properties > Permissions. Mark the checkbox next to Allow executing file as program.

Open Startup Applications, click the + button and select Custom Command. Type a Name. Next to Command, add: sh /home/your-user-name/.overscan

(substitute your-user-name with your actual user name).

[chellrose]

Thank you! Works beautifully.
