The driver install is hard coded to reject anything other than= 18.04, which is two versions behind current Ubuntu. Please update the driver.=20 ``` Preparing to unpack .../amdgpu-core_19.10-785425_all.deb ...

I spent over a thousand dollars for a card that doesn't suppor= t current Linux? And when I file a bug report it's reclassified as an "enhancement"= ;, and a medium priority one at that?! Worse still, the driver would probably work f= ine if the installer would just ignore the version code and try... I'm in shock= .
Also, the install scrip fails without rolling back anything an= d leaving the system in a half-baked state. The supplied uninstall fails because amdgpu-c= ore isn't installed yet. Since only 18.04 is supported, the install script shou= ld at least check for that before installing half a dozen packages for which &= quot;apt --fix-broken" cannot resolve their dependencies, due to the hard coded= Ubuntu version. Catch-22.
If anyone else finds themselves in this fix by installing this=
driver, the only
way to get apt-get working again is to forcefully remove all of the files
using:
sudo dpkg --force-all -P [package name]

The packaged drivers only support the Linux distros listed.
Yet it half-way installs on 19.04 without a check, and your do= wnload page does not include any warning of what it will do to your system if it's not 18.04= . In fact, the sub heading lists 18.04.2, so is that the only version of 18.04 supported? >>From the specificity used, it's reasonable to assume that the listed version was a minimum version, not an exclusive version.

Created attachment 144471 [details] [review] Script to modify packages to be able to use with ubuntu 19.04 Initial version
@Andrew, thank you for the script. I will give it a try sh= ortly. As an aside, I noticed that someone changed the component from AMDgpu to AMDgpu-pro. I was= not installing pro. Will your script work with a standard install?
@Rolf, my script is specifically targeted at pro variant. = I do not understand your desire to use amd bundled archive for All-Open stack, because All-Open= is already provided by Ubuntu repos. However, you can just remove "--pro" from the end of the script i= n line: ./amdgpu-install --pro --opencl=3Dlagacy,pal --no-dkms

@Andrew, I'm transitioning from Windows to Linux for softw= are development. Though not new to Linux, I'm new to running it with a head. Perhaps I'm try= ing to do something unnecessary under Ubuntu? I have an ASUS Radeon VII 16GB installed in this system. The first thing I had to do under Windows was upd= ate the driver from AMD's website. I was following suit for Linux. I don't beli= eve I can run the Pro version on my hardware. The downloaded driver installs either. Ubuntu identifies the graphics as AMD=C2=AE Vega20. Any and all adv= ice would be most appreciated.

I was following suit for Linux. = In general, on Linux most users use the in box drivers or a ppa (if you want bleeding edge) rather than the packaged drivers. The packaged drivers from= AMD are mainly there to support workstation customers or users that want to use= an older enterprise distro which may not have support in the box.

(In reply to Rolf from comment #12) > Perhaps I'm trying to do something unnecessary u= nder Ubuntu? Yes, exactly that seems to be the case here. Either the drivers coming with Ubuntu should be sufficient or you should us= e a PPA to get bleeding edge drivers. As Alex already noted as well the -pro drivers are for workstation use cases where the user has a specific version of a distribution. Marking this bug as invalid for now.

I have a Linux workstation and it's a development workstation.= Your driver page (https://www.amd.com/= en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-2nd-generation-vega/amd-radeon-2nd-generatio= n-vega/amd-radeon-vii) is where people go for up-to-date drivers on Windows. It clearly has a Linux sections as well, so this is very confusing. I still have no idea if I shou= ld be using the pro or normal drivers. I am very appreciative to Alex for providing a script that gives me choice on Ubuntu 19.04.
Btw, it would be very nice to list these PPAs on the driver pa= ge. Where are they documented? It's not like I can build the driver for myself without source.

You are on freedesktop.org and not AMD.com. You are asking the wrong people. https://en= .wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Micro_Devices https://en.wikipe= dia.org/wiki/Freedesktop.org (In reply to Rolf from comment #16= ) > Btw, it would be very nice to list these PPAs on= the driver page. Feel free to talk to AMD about that. You are asking the wrong people.
(In reply to Andre Klapper from comment #17) > Feel free to talk to AMD about that. You are ask= ing the wrong people. Well no, he is asking exactly at the right location. Take a look at the component, this bug is explicitly about the amdgpu-pro driver installation and both Alex and me are answering on this bug.
