![]() ![]() Some people mentioned switching to or from Wayland or installing Mesa, but as someone new-ish to the graphics stack in Linux (I normally run headless servers: give me a console and I'm happy), I didn't want to mess with things I might have to unravel later. The following packages have unmet dependencies:Īmdgpu-lib : Depends: libwayland-amdgpu-client0 but it is not going to be installedĭepends: libwayland-amdgpu-server0 but it is not going to be installedĭepends: libgbm1-amdgpu but it is not going to be installedĭepends: libegl1-amdgpu-mesa but it is not going to be installedĭepends: libegl1-amdgpu-mesa-drivers but it is not going to be installedĭepends: xserver-xorg-amdgpu-video-amdgpu but it is not going to be installedĪmdgpu-lib32 : Depends: libwayland-amdgpu-client0:i386ĭepends: libegl1-amdgpu-mesa-drivers:i386Į: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.įurther Googling found related issues when installing the drivers on older Ubuntu releases, but I figured at this point, maybe I should just install Ubuntu 21.10 instead. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstableĭistribution that some required packages have not yet been created deb file as directed, but when I ran amdgpu install, I got: Some packages could not be installed. ![]() deb file download for version 21.50, so I tried it. The release notes page and amdgpu installation guide both linked to the latest version of the driver, a. So I re-installed Ubuntu 20.04, since the driver documentation and release notes on AMD's driver site indicate support only for LTS releases (18.04 and 20.04), not for the latest rolling release. I also posted a video version of this blog post, with a few more illustrations of the points I'm making, on YouTube: Easy to do if everything's configured via Ansible and I have tested backups.). ![]() (I always erase-then-reinstall on my Linux servers. That doesn't explain why the mid-stream upgrade to 21.10 didn't work, but I'll chalk that up to the fact that I've never had a Linux full-version upgrade work without a hitch. Instead of installing 20.50, I should've downloaded 21.50. The AMDGPU driver version I was downloading and trying to install was too old for my card. What I found out-a few people even mentioned it in live chat, but I didn't see it mid-stream-is that Google had betrayed me. It brings up repressed memories of the horror of pair programming at an XP shop I worked in. After getting all the other benchmark results that weren't GPU-dependent, I decided to end the live stream so I could spend more time figuring out where I went wrong.Īside: As an introvert, I have a hard time thinking as straight and/or doing any retrospective debugging on a live stream, when I know people are 'watching over my shoulder', so to speak. Towards the end of the stream, I even tried as commenters were suggesting, and ran a do-release-upgrade to install Ubuntu 21.05 (the non-LTS release), but that resulted in the display reverting to a blurry 1024x768 resolution (it was 1080p prior to the upgrade). but watch for yourself the difficulty I had getting the AMD driver working on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 install (starts at 02:21:13): The assembly went pretty well (and took a bit more than an hour-not bad for the first time building a PC from scratch in 23 years, while live streaming it!). To round out the build, I bought a B550 motherboard so I could use PCIe Gen 4.0, some Corsair RAM (RGB since my kids would enjoy seeing it), and I used a case and 144 Hz gaming monitor repurposed from my Raspberry Pi Gaming PC build. Since I also wanted a faster Linux kernel build platform than my M1 Mac mini, I stretched my budget a little and bought an AMD Ryzen 5 5600x. ![]() It will be part a massive upgrade from my current HP desktop PC with integrated graphics. Though my initial effort was fruitless, I've since hacked the driver to work through at least a few 'rings' of AMD's doorbell init process.Īnyways, because I had that graphics card laying around, I decided to put it to use while it's not being tested on the Pi. My initial goal was to see if I could get the card working on a Raspberry Pi. Last year, due to some extreme luck and help from a viewer, I picked up an AMD RX 6700 XT for MSRP (around $500). ![]()
