AMD Radeon only for ubuntu 20.04

My guess is something in the bios setup, but I can't say what. There are a LOT of settings in there.


Plus it is an AliExpress special, which has to be taken into consideration ....................

I have bought this kit:

And followed this bios setup.

Graphic card is a Radeon RX580.
So, I tried do install Kubuntu 20.10 from USB, but I had to choose "graphic safe mode" because it does not boot, after that, installation was ok.
But It does not boot in normal mode, it goes to a black screen.
I can boot choosing recovery mode, but only at 800x600 screen resolution.
I have tried to install the AMD driver, but, as you have said, that was not the problem.

So, I don't know whats wrong.

Without knowing more it is very hard to say
System info, OS info, any symptoms you are experiencing, any customization done, what happened before you saw this happen. things like this.

Thanks for the answer.

But I have a problem, Kubuntu does not start in normal mode, only in recovery mode. I thought it was for the AMD driver.

What could be the problem?

You do not need the AMDGPU-PRO driver, that is for professional workstations mostly. The open source drivers you already have are the preferred ones, even by AMD themselves.
If the PRO does not install on 20.10, it is because AMD don't support it for newer releases yet.

I just finished a session of Metro Exodus on my similar Rx 480 card, using the open drivers


What you may find very useful is updated Mesa drivers:

Hi

I'm trying to use Kubuntu 20.10 with an AMD Radeon RX 580 Graphic card. But AMD Driver is only for 20.04, so, I have to enter in recovery mode because I got a black screen when I boot in normal mode.

If I try to install this driver:
https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

I got the message:

ERROR: This package can only be installed on Ubuntu 20.04.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks
