Installing AMDGPU 18.50 for Ubuntu 18.04 resulting in dependency issues












2














I downloaded the appropriate driver from AMD's website and went to install it as I had the previous (18.40) driver. However, now I'm in a weird situation where it looks like there are unmet dependencies regardless of what I do and I don't believe the install is complete, even though apt search amd seems to list it as such. I am not at all experienced with managing dependencies (that's why there's a package manager right?) so I'm out of my element here. Can anyone give me any insight into what might be going on?

I can't remove, upgrade, or purge anything because as soon as apt finishes "reading state information" it tells me that I have unmet dependencies and stops there. Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Have you tried contacting AMD support for help? That is their pro driver.

  • Hopefully you have everything important backed-up to another PC or internet. If you like fixing this sort of stuff then it is a great learning experience! However if you haven't got time and patience, easiest way is to re-install ubuntu and just use the amdgpu included in the kernel with Mesa stable. It looks like the following existing packages are preventing the new packages to finish installing: -libllvm6.0-amdgpu:amd64 1:6.0-676022 -libwayland-amdgpu-egl1-mesa:amd64 1:18.1.0-676022. Interestingly the last one above is newer than the one the amdgpu-pro installer is trying to install

  • No I haven't contacted AMD support yet, but thanks for the suggestion. I'll be sure to follow up here if they help me solve it. I can back everything up and reinstall, but i'd rather not have to go through all of that. And yea, I noticed that existing packages were causing a problem too, but I can't uninstall them because apt gives me the "fix your dependencies" message instead. Which would be better, though? I thought AMD's proprietary drivers would probably be the most optimal drivers for gaming, for example.

  • Radeon 18.50 or propriety driver hasn't been better than kernel-amdgpu + mesa for a while. If I'm not mistaken a couple of years now. The FOSS drivers perform better and are more stable. Here's a benchmark of Radeon 18.50 vs linux 4.20.0+mesa 19 (go through the pages) phoronix.com/…

I can't remove, upgrade, or purge anything because as soon as apt finishes "reading state information" it tells me that I have unmet dependencies and stops there. Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Have you tried contacting AMD support for help? That is their pro driver.

  • Hopefully you have everything important backed-up to another PC or internet. If you like fixing this sort of stuff then it is a great learning experience! However if you haven't got time and patience, easiest way is to re-install ubuntu and just use the amdgpu included in the kernel with Mesa stable. It looks like the following existing packages are preventing the new packages to finish installing: -libllvm6.0-amdgpu:amd64 1:6.0-676022 -libwayland-amdgpu-egl1-mesa:amd64 1:18.1.0-676022. Interestingly the last one above is newer than the one the amdgpu-pro installer is trying to install

  • No I haven't contacted AMD support yet, but thanks for the suggestion. I'll be sure to follow up here if they help me solve it. I can back everything up and reinstall, but i'd rather not have to go through all of that. And yea, I noticed that existing packages were causing a problem too, but I can't uninstall them because apt gives me the "fix your dependencies" message instead. Which would be better, though? I thought AMD's proprietary drivers would probably be the most optimal drivers for gaming, for example.

  • Radeon 18.50 or propriety driver hasn't been better than kernel-amdgpu + mesa for a while. If I'm not mistaken a couple of years now. The FOSS drivers perform better and are more stable. Here's a benchmark of Radeon 18.50 vs linux 4.20.0+mesa 19 (go through the pages) phoronix.com/…

I downloaded the appropriate driver from AMD's website and went to install it as I had the previous (18.40) driver. However, now I'm in a weird situation where it looks like there are unmet dependencies regardless of what I do and I don't believe the install is complete, even though apt search amd seems to list it as such. I am not at all experienced with managing dependencies (that's why there's a package manager right?) so I'm out of my element here. Can anyone give me any insight into what might be going on?

I can't remove, upgrade, or purge anything because as soon as apt finishes "reading state information" it tells me that I have unmet dependencies and stops there. Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Have you tried contacting AMD support for help? That is their pro driver.

  • Hopefully you have everything important backed-up to another PC or internet. If you like fixing this sort of stuff then it is a great learning experience! However if you haven't got time and patience, easiest way is to re-install ubuntu and just use the amdgpu included in the kernel with Mesa stable. It looks like the following existing packages are preventing the new packages to finish installing: -libllvm6.0-amdgpu:amd64 1:6.0-676022 -libwayland-amdgpu-egl1-mesa:amd64 1:18.1.0-676022. Interestingly the last one above is newer than the one the amdgpu-pro installer is trying to install

  • No I haven't contacted AMD support yet, but thanks for the suggestion. I'll be sure to follow up here if they help me solve it. I can back everything up and reinstall, but i'd rather not have to go through all of that. And yea, I noticed that existing packages were causing a problem too, but I can't uninstall them because apt gives me the "fix your dependencies" message instead. Which would be better, though? I thought AMD's proprietary drivers would probably be the most optimal drivers for gaming, for example.

  • Radeon 18.50 or propriety driver hasn't been better than kernel-amdgpu + mesa for a while. If I'm not mistaken a couple of years now. The FOSS drivers perform better and are more stable. Here's a benchmark of Radeon 18.50 vs linux 4.20.0+mesa 19 (go through the pages) phoronix.com/…
