Hi guys! Brand new PC…And I’m trying to install its brand new 7800XT. I’ve chosen KDE Neon, as it was my previous OS, and I’ve grown to like it. I’d like to stick with it if possible…I’m writing this preamble, because when I try to run amdgpu-install from the AMD downloads page, all I get is:
Unsupported OS: /etc/os-release ID 'neon'
So…what can I do? Neon is mostly Ubuntu 22.04 to most effects. Kernel is 6.2.0-36-generic.
Thanks!
Oof. I had the same issue when I (back when it was new) used a 6800XT on a Mint install with an old kernel. Maybe it’s worth testing with a newer kernel or on a distro that pushes more frequent kernel/Mesa updates
Yeah thanks! I got it working in the end with the updated recent AMD firmware from the kernel release, updating to an 6.5-oem kernel, and rebuilding initramfs with the updated firmware files, as detailed here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1451506/how-to-make-ubuntu-22-04-work-with-a-radeon-rx-7900-xtx
