How to install amdgpu-pro driver?

[karozagorus]

Hey, I'm pretty new to driver setups, and I saw Linux Mint does not support AMD Pro drivers out of the box, and I really need that DX11-12 fix. I tried setting it up based on the installation tips from AMD but it have made my computer fail to start with a no signature error for the hardware and refused to boot for me. Had to reinstall and I really want to get the amdgpu-pro-driver to start up properly.

Any idea how I could get the Pro drives set up properly?

If your card fits the latest cards and os here, you can install the AMD driver. https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/relea ... -lin-18-20
Otherwise you have to make do with the open source drivers.

So, last time I followed that one, my card is a RX 580 so it should be supported, and the problem was that after installation it gave back a no signature error when I tried booting up and it didn't let me get in anyhow. And I suspect if I would follow the same method it would again occur to me. So could you point me anywher else with a more safe setup method so I can get the pro drivers going?

Try the Ubuntu section. You need to run Mint 19 or higher.

When I try installing the Pro variant, it gives back an "apt" command in the middle of the whole thing and then the installation stops. Any idea how to fix it?

Are you seeing the same output that user sampctech got in this post:
viewtopic.php?f=59&t=272074#p1515270

What command are you using for the AMDGPU-Pro installation? If it has the -y option in it, then that should be removed.

[karozagorus]

Okay, I fixed it on kernel 5, 19.2

The latest driver for RX580 works the following way: it will screw up your computer either way and you will have to fix it. Here is the method:

Download files from AMD's website, add youself to the graphics group, it's in the main discussion group, and then install up the normal gpu driver and then remove it. Afterwards install via amdgpu-install --pro option and then if it arrives into CLI terminal, delete it with amdgpu-uninstall, delete again, restart and go into potato slow mode and then install the whole thing again and it will work. If you are stuck without signature on boot, reinstall the entire computer. It works for me now apparently, I hope it is the pro line!
