newuser444467899Does anyone really use proprietary drivers from AMD?00:58
Eickmeyernewuser444467899: Except for in very specific circumstances, there's no need.01:04
newuser444467899Eickmeye i have freeze after installing amdgpu-pro 20.10 on ubuntu 18.04.4hwe01:05
EickmeyerCan't help you. We don't support things brought-in from outside of the repositories.01:06
newuser444467899Eickmeyer ok01:06
Bashing-omnewuser444467899: Just as a thought - how do you know that your card supports the -PRO overlay ?01:07
newuser444467899Bashing-om i have rx56001:08
Eickmeyernewuser444467899: Most AMD cards don't support the -PRO overlay. Unless it's a designated PRO card, then it doesn't work.01:09
newuser4444678991 year ago i use amdgpu-pro on ubuntu and with that rx560 and no freeze all works perfect, but now ....01:09
EickmeyerAgain, it's for specific use cases. 99% of people don't have that specific use case. The pro driver offers no better performance.01:10
EickmeyerIf you got it to work, awesome. We don't support it. You need to talk to AMD.01:10
Bashing-omnewuser444467899: Could be outdated AMD info, But: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-radpro-lin-16-40 does not show that card as -PRO supported.01:16
newuser444467899It’s a pity that I can’t remember what kind of ubuntu I used then and what version of the driver I installed 1 year ago01:22
newuser444467899i dont have logs in my memory haha01:23
EickmeyerAMD has a specific PRO series that does not include the RX series.01:24
tomreyni don't think there's a direct relation between https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_Pro and amdgpu-pro. amd does claim that the amdgpu-pro overlay works with (at least some of?) the RX models01:30
newuser444467899Of course, I could try reinstalling the versions of ubuntu and AMD pro and using the enumeration method to find a working option, but it takes a very long time01:34
tomreynthis is the wrong audience for this discussion01:35
newuser444467899I believe that AMD themselves do not understand what they are doing with their video cards since about 2006. I have been using cpu and video card from amd since 200101:38
