You should put a warning label up whenever you are handing out= free "break your linux distro" drivers. A few months ago I tried to install the driver = on 18.10 I had to look online to find out that it breaking the Linux install was the intended effect. Okay, so I bought this computer with a 570 like two years = ago and it hasn't been properly supported this entire time. Linux gets updated = to 4.18 on Ubuntu and my GPU isn't giving me the same error it has been for the last entire time I had the computer, exciting. I try to install the drivers= and WOW it breaking is still the intended result. I notice I have Ubuntu 18.04.= 2, the one advertised is 18.04.1 and sure enough Google tells me that the inte= nded effect was to break my Linux. My complaint is if you know that you're going= to break my computer over and over again just give me some warnings, like &quo= t;hey this doesn't work on Linux 4.18" instead of just handing it out like M= alware. This is 3 years in and I still do not have proper support for my GPU on Lin= ux. Sorry for being frustrated but this company has caused my anguish for no go= od reason. The error is DKMS failed or something after it installs but you guys already know that it doesn't work with a fresh install of Ubuntu. I'm not downgrading my Linux so I get the errors on startup again I have to wait for you guys to properly support my GPU 2 years after the GPU was released. Do = you guys give refunds for this sort of thing I had to reinstall my operating sy= stem more than 6 times slowing down everything I wanted to do. When rich people = have their time wasted they get to sue people..

You need to share first how you manage to find all and any sof= tware bugs and how you test your software on all and any existing architectures and with a= ll and any existing other software, before you publish your software. Feel free to discuss whatever the problem is in a forum of your distributio= n as this bug report is unactionable, vague, and in the wrong place.
Unactionable is not a word. I told you to put warnings when yo= u know that the download you offer people is going to break their computer.

I am aware that the following not improve your past situation,= but please keep in mind for the future, that for a regular linux user, there is currently 0 reasons to choose the proprietary close source amdgpu-pro. Use the default all opensource instead. It was demonstrated multiple times that they offer better performance, and robustness. See various articles, forum posts, reddit/r/linux_gaming, phoronix, etc. And also, due to their nature of being packed together with all distros, are much wider tested by the audience with a much broader hardware combination. As a added bonus, you can also use the latest and greatest bleeding endge mesa+kernel(not just that you can, but also highly recommended) and completely forget about dkms breakage. --- Sent from mobile, apologies for typos.
It is, see https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/unactionable I have no idea which "download" you refer to, why you think that bugs.freedesktop.org is a place to discuss your problem, or what exact soft= ware and software versions you refer to, so nobody can and will help. And again: please contact Ubuntu folks about Ubuntu problems.=20 You are in the wrong place here. Please understand that. Thanks.
Most certainly is an AMD issue, download Ubuntu, download the = AMD driver, it breaks. Your advice is to just not download the drivers, great. How you rationalize that as acceptable is astounding if I could get a refund I would just switch to NVidia.

My advice is to write a proper bug report (see https://help.ub= untu.com/community/ReportingBugs ) in the proper place (your distribution's issue tracker). Great! Regarding "refund" blah: Contact the company whose product you're= using. freedesktop.org is not a company. Hence no "refund". Not here. By= e.
I don't need your help I was telling you that distributing mal= ware is unacceptable. I would consider any software designed to break a person's computer to be malware, hence the download offered by AMD that tells you to report bugs to this website. I do not expect a refund from you as you are clearly spearheading your campaign of irresponsibility and continuing to make sure that nothing will ever be done right.

I googled you and found out that you are just a shell of a man= waiting for death, openly toxic to anyone with productive views. Listens to effeminate music and thinks that denying obvious truths is productive. You will go out of your way to conceal basic truths and rather spread some pseudo masculinity through bug reports for the rest of your life. Take care
(In reply to Thomas Hansen from comment #7) > I was telling you that distributing malware is u= nacceptable. You need to contact your distribution (Ubuntu) and not bugs.freedesktop.org= if someone distributes something. But I've written this several times already and you continue to ignore it. = :)
Look at what day it is, now look at the website. The website d= istributes it through negligence. When I google AMD net worth I see "AMD Company tot= al revenue is estimated to be over $6 billion. The operating income of the company is estimated to be over *$220 million* while the net income is estimated to be $50 million. Total assets of the company are worth over $4 billion, and total equity is worth *$650 million*." That seems like a large company to not notice the largest Linux distribution is broken. Or it does know, and it just refuses to update the website to let people know.

What I am dealing with is something unique to Linux users whic= h is a notion that it is suppose to be broken On Tue, Feb 26, 2019 at 2:50 AM Thomas Hansen <tomhansen992@gmail.com> wrote: > Look at what day it is, now look at the website.= The website distributes > it through negligence.

My distribution works fine with RX570. https://www.youtu= be.com/watch?v=3DfKJ-IatUfis

I suspect part of the confusion here is that the component was= set incorrectly. "DRM/AMDgpu" is the amdgpu driver included in the upstream Linux = kernel, whereas Thomas seems to be complaining about a packaged release provided by AMD, which is "DRM/AMDgpu-pro".
