Updating the AMDGPU driver to latest from AMD

[llloyd]

So, I was having some game performance issues and was poking at Google to find out what version of the driver I am running, found this command and, if I read this right, my version is 23, and AMD says the newest is 25, which is quite a difference.

llloyd@Nyeri:~/Downloads/MangoHud$ sudo apt list|grep -i gpu|grep installed

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

But the thing that concerns me is that AMD says

I don't know which version of Kubuntu I am running outside of it's 24.04 LTS , is this 04.02 or 04.05 and does it have this HWE , what ever that is? If not do I need to install it? If I do, how do I install it? Thank you for your time.

You are running Kubuntu 24.04, but are you using the HWE kernel?

[claydoh]

Don't install the non-free AMDGPU-pro driver.
It isn't suited for desktop use, or gaming at all.

The actual video drivers used will be Mesa. The pro driver is actually based on this, and they are ditching the nonfree driver altogether

Now, one can upgrade Mesa, which can sometimes offer improvements, though there are also some boot parameters that might be used.
You'll need to investigation your specific GPU and some trial and error.
https://launchpad.net/~kisak/+archive/ubuntu/kisak-mesa

As to your kernel, you can see your system info from System Settings in the About this System section.

If you installed Kubuntu using the most recent ISO image released in February, you have the current 6.11 kernel. Unless you have a very recent GPU this kernel will be good.

If you have one released recently, a more current kernel may be useful, but not always. 24.04 should see an upgrade to 6.14 some time in August.

There are other sources for kernels such as Mainline though this can be hit or miss and possibly not work as well, or miss the needed firmware, though this isn't likely. Luckily adding kernels does not remove your most current stock kernels, so testing is as easy as a boot option in Grub.

I personally use Xanmod kernels when I had a too-new GPU, though the Mesa upgrade offered the most improvements at the time.

Basically if you have a recent ish GPU and gaming is a strong focus, then a non-LTS Kubuntu or another distro that is much more current generally takes less work and modifications as it will already have the upgrades built in.

Well, the AMD page shows what I can download for free, which is 25.x unlike the AMDGPU I'm running now. I just want to know if I can use the AMDGPU from AMD (not Pro, just AMDGPU) or not. What is an MWE kernel? I mean, I would hate to have to reinstall everything * again * (I've installed for Mint, liked it, but borked up and installed both non UEFI and UEFI boot things. So I tried Kubuntu, and after a lot of pissing around to figure out what it's major malfunction is (it has, at least for me, a weird partition setup, a blank partition, then the /boot/efi partition, then the main ext4 partition), got it installed, and liked KDE ) to go to Kubuntu 25.x . It's more than just backing up /Home and extracting it over the new install. Like the Focusrite Scarlet Solo 2I2, those drivers have been consistently way outdated (default insists it's a firewire when it's USB, updated sees it as USB) on both Mint and Kubuntu and that's not in the /home folder tree. So I really don't want to have to reinstall the entire system, just update the drivers to the newest 25.x ones (not -Pro, that's further down the page) that AMD is offering as a free download. But want to be sure I don't break the system in the process.

Also, apologies if I sound a bit grumpy, I was asking on the Cash Cleaning Sim's Discord server (the game in question) and ran into one of those Arch Linux slobbering fanboys who was trying to pressure me into going to Arch Linux. >.< Like, dude, I like KDE, go get stuffed already. >.<

Normally in Linux, you don't get drivers from outside your distro, as these are usually built-in to the kernel itself. it is a completely different animal from Windows.

Well, the AMD page shows what I can download for free

Which is the non-free AMDGPU-PRO driver stack, Which is for professional workstation use. OpenCl and things like that. It is not going to offer any improvements in gaming, and will VERY likely make things worse in this regard. I speak from personal experience and research. It is also can be a PITA to install and get working, though this has improved a lot in the past year or two.

The HWE kernel is where Ubuntu upgrades the kernel to a new major version on LTS releases regularly between releases. 24.04 started on 6.8, and is now in 6.11, and 6.14 in August. As hardware drivers are built into the kernel usually, this adds some extra device support. Normal non-LTS releases have a more current kernel, but see no version upgrades between releases. New kernels do not replace the existing one, so you will have both 6.11 and 6.14 when this happens, so booting to the previous version is available from your grub menu.

I also forgot that this HWE upgrade will also bring a Mesa upgrade as well., from 24.2.8 to 25.0.7. Adding the PPA will get you 25.1.5, which is Mesa's current version at he moment.

Now, for gaming, the hardware driver is not necessarily very important. The 3D video libraries are what provides this, and AMD and Intel cards use mesa for it. Their driver downloads you see at the moment provided a modified version of this that is suited for graphics processing, OpenCL and similar workloads. AMD are moving away from that altogether and the next release their software release won't include the 3d acceleration parts, so will use Linux native mesa,

a weird partition setup, a blank partition, then the /boot/efi partition, then the main ext4 partition

That is I believe normal. Some Linux installers simply don't show this empty space at the beginning, but on MBR type installs, the boot loaders need more space than a normal MBR can hold, so some extra space is provided. Normal EFI on GPT installs won't have this extra empty space.

to go to Kubuntu 25.x .

in-place upgrades are possible normally, but actually with 24.10 now End-of Life, there is no upgrade path for 24.04 until 26.04.

Upgrading the kernel and mesa won't break your system, but the mesa PPA can be reverted back to stock if desired.

. It's more than just backing up /Home and extracting it over the new install.

Actually, not really. A trick many folks use is to keep a separate partition for /home, which makes a fresh install that preserves one's files. Saves a LOT of time. But of course does not remove the hassles of a fresh install.

Ok, then the question becomes, how do I upgrade the kernel and mesa drivers? I poked for a mesa ppa or repository but my Google-Fu is failing in it. Did find a reference to the Jessie Backports but that resulted in a no public key error, so... Umm?

[llloyd]

Well, that didin't go over very well. O.o I hate compiling stuff, I am not a programmer so a wall of text is scary and untranslatable. Uh... Following the instructions on Installing the Latest Kernel on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS I get this wall of text and an error message. Uh? O.o

DKMS make.log for amdgpu-6.3.6-1718217.22.04 for kernel 6.8.0-63-generic (x86_64)

So you already had the AMDGPU stuff installed in the past.....

Following the instructions on Installing the Latest Kernel on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Good lord, that is not at all accurate or current.

BUT the only thing that failed was the AMDGPU build against the 6.8 kernel you just installed
(

sudo apt install linux-generic

This package pulls in the stock, original 24.04 kernel. You still have and are using the current 6.11. Installing this package is unnecessary, even more so on the original 24.04 release and that article is a bit of a mess overall.

So nothing is actually broken, though I'd suggest not attempting to boot to 6.8, the graphics driver there is probably not working. 6.11 is not going to be affected here.

So... lets clean that up first.
Remove the 6.8 kernel and headers:

sudo apt remove linux-{image,headers}-generic
sudo apt autoremove

Anything looks fishy, don't proceed and post what you see.

I am not sure if we need to remove the AMDGPU stuff you installed. So I am not sure if it is OK to also install a Mesa upgrade. It should be OK, as iirc the amdgpu part should be completely separate from this. But if amdgpu is still installed, it won't use this new mesa instead anyway. I think. But I am not sure.

Me, I'd uninstall the amdgpu stuff, which *shoudn't* break anything, but there are always risks.

But I forget a very important question: which specific GPU do you actually have? This will help determine if a kernel bump is even helpful.

So, if you get rid of the unnecessary 6.8 kernel, uninstall amdgpu, reboot and have a working desktop, THEN we can upgrade Mesa:

The PPA has instructions though this guide is more step-by-step.

Ya, you are going to have to uninstall the AMDGPU stuff. This (amdgpu-dkms specifically) is failing to build kernel modules on your 6.11 kernel --this is where the errors are from.
BUT the 6.8 kernel packages HAVE been removed.

I am not sure if we need to remove the AMDGPU stuff you installed..

Ok, a super-current kernel is not necessary here.
