Ubuntu 20.04 AMD GPU with Intel process stuck on 1024x768(4:3) Resolution
I've installed Ubuntu with single boot option. I wasn't able to install Ubuntu straight away, I've had to use safe graphics mode option to install Ubuntu 20.04.After successful installation, I was presented with a black screen. Then I started Ubuntu again in recovery mode and tried to install AMD latest Ubuntu 20.04 drivers and I got the below error at around 97%. Command used to run AMD driver is below:
./amdgpu-install -y
Error Message I got is this
Building for 5.4.0-47-generic
Building for architecture x86_64
Building initial module for 5.4.0-47-generic

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)I've tried the above method twice and have uninstalled the drivers. The below result is after uninstalling amdgpu driver from AMD site.
The interesting point is the result from the command:

My situation is a little different since I'm using a headless server for crypto mining, but I was getting the same error message regarding amdgpu-dkms. I did manage to get 20.45 driver working on Ubuntu Server 20.04 using the following steps:
./amdgpu-pro-install --opencl=legacy,pal,rocr --headless -y
omit --headless if using desktop gui. errors will still be present
get mainline kernel update script
wget
install kernel update script
sudo install ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh /usr/local/bin/
run kernel update script
sudo ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh -i
script will display most current kernel available and ask for confirmation to install. In my case it was 5.10.1-051001-generic
after reboot, mining software still didn't work. amdgpu didn't show up in lsmod so I did:
sudo modprobe amdgpu
and suddenly my mining software worked. haven't tried rebooting because I'm just so relieved that it started working.
I also installed kernel 5.6.19 at one point and ran update-initramfs -u
I don't think that had any effect but just mentioning it for completeness.
1Based on the AMD notes . Please try to downgrade the kernel to 5.4.0-55.61. Well, in your case, you may need to upgrade the kernel. You may need to use update-alternatives to select a newer version of g++
A new kernel linux-image-5.4.0-58-generic just released, maybe you could try that kernel to see if it works.
Thank you red5marauder...After going through at least 30 sites and reinstalling ubuntu 20.04 5 times, following all the instructions only this option worked. I haven't restarted the system yet worried that I will get a black screen.
I have installed ubuntu 20.04 and installed amd drivers (20.45) downloaded from the amd site. I had done this before and my system booted up with a black screen. What worked primarily was the options for installing ./amgdpu-pro-install -y --opencl=legacy,rocm --headless
After this option the system started but the screen was very laggy when the mouse cursor moved. I was just happy that the system started. Still sudo lshw -C display generated everything except the recognition of an AMD card.
I just tried the options given above and magically it worked. The kernel update worked. Cannot say how thankful I am.
you can also install the driver without dkms with the command
./amdgpu-install --no-dkms
# or
./amdgpu-install --opencl=pal,legacy --no-dkmsI've tested this, and have been using this for two months now.
