IF PROBLEM HAPPEN

this package is our try to put amdgpu in ARCH, but this could break or have problems as amd update and change their packages for ubuntu

if anything happens you can always download a older tag in https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu-pro/releases and get the PKGBUILD there, and use makepkg with that build while we update or try to fix :)

ALWAYS USE LINUX-FIRMWARE-GIT IF LATEST DRIVER FAIL BEFORE ISSUE SOME ERROR

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-firmware-git

PKGBUILD generator is located here: https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu-pro

AMDGPU PRO wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMDGPU_PRO

New versions will appear here: https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/.

@hydrocryo01 Did you run mkinitcpio -P after downgrading linux-firmware?

@mesmer I got the same result with firmware 20221214 and 20230210. The result of

and the amf options didn't showed up in obs. @i.kulagin Could you share how to make h264 and hevc work? I have an RX 7900 XT and linux-firmware 20221214.f3c283e-1.

@i.kulagin

as i write in the obs package

hey @hydrocryo01 i help to maintain the amd pro driver here in the arch, i suppose thats is only the amd and driver for 7900 working at all, amd does that all the times, in the beginning of the year we need to use a specific kernel version to amf to work, and stayed like this for like 3 months,
....
and at least i can find this issue for 7900 https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF/issues/369

this issue says to me thats completly possible, if thats right we need to put that in the wiki again hgahahah but in 6k series everything is fine for now maybe something like https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMDGPU-FW-Avoid-VCN-Multi-Hang https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=390113

can you check if previous versions of this package works for newer firmware? its hard to debug without 7k series

Is this package broken again because of the firmware update? I've recently acquired an RX 7900 XTX and when trying to use OBS with AMF patch it says that VCN firmware is version 1.9 but 1.8 is expected. After downgrading linux-firmware to 20221214.f3c283e-1 everything is working perfectly.

https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu-pro/pull/84 update for 22.40-1538781.22.04 the major change there is to use libssl in the place of openssl

@Ashark: You're right, if the package does no longer exists, it doesn't make much sense to add it to conflicts. And I just did the upgrade after uninstalling the old package.

langfingaz I am not sure about that. Because there is no more amdgpu-pro-libgl. Is there an aur guideline covering that situation? How does official packages do when they rename package? I guess they do not conflict with old name. Delete the old package manually.

Thanks for the recent updates. After building the latest version, I got the following error during package upgrade:

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I think you should add to the PKGBUILD that amdgpu-pro-oglp is in conflict with amdgpu-pro-libgl so that pacman will automatically remove amdgpu-pro-libgl when installing the new amdgpu-pro-oglp.

I did some quick tests with glmark2 (and the similar vkmark), comparing mesa drivers, amdgpu-pro-libgl and the new amdgpu-pro-oglp:

mesa | glmark2: 23831; vkmark: 14750

old amdgpu-pro-libgl | progl glmark2: 19015; vk_pro vkmark: 14593

new amdgpu-pro-oglp | progl glmark2: 20872; vk_pro vkmark: 13482

I have not tested AMF.

22.40 tests:

AMF working for obs and ffmpeg

progl working as much i can test, as for DR in my 6700xt its working (till now), i have the opencl-amd package too, i`ll try a new project and ssome render to see

provk as overwatch its working fine too

i`ll edit here later with more info about that
