When the uninstall tool completes, reboot the system. AMD has always had difficult and overly complicated drivers for Linux. Back in the days of Catalyst Control Center, users had to go through dozens of steps, downgrade versions of Xorg on newer systems, and even use custom repositories due to the slow updates. In , things have mostly changed, and drivers are much more readily available to install and not just on Ubuntu. What I want to know is how to make this work with latest mainline kernel.
I need the absolute latest kernels for Thunderbolt support. Yet this driver is not compatible. But both crash the kernel hard when surprise removed pull Thunderbolt cable , which is something AMD needs to fix.
Windows can handle surprise removal. Hence they should do the same thing on Linux. Once the GPU overheated and the GPU cut off still investigating how this is possible — equivalent of surprise removal and completely crashed the kernel.
Figure anything out Bit Art? Now even my apt isnt running right because it always throws errors non stop. Your email address will not be published. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed. For Ubuntu this means that you can only install these drivers on the latest LTS release. Running an LTS release has some drawbacks. You will get security fixes and some backports. You can get around a lot of these constraints in other ways, like importing applications such as Firefox from other releases, but it can be a pain to do so.
In the latest releases of Ubuntu, they may even work out of the box, depending on your card. I did some research and the most helpful thing i found was this post here from the forums. Even though i am on Kali 2. How do you get them? Click it to download the drivers in a tar archive. Unpacking the archive will give you a folder with the same name. Change into the folder and get ready to install. There are a lot of. In the past proprietary graphics drivers just contained some Linux kernel modules to interact directly with the kernel and the drivers themselves.
AMD took a very different approach recently. There are a number of parts in that chain including the kernel itself, the Xorg Server, and direct rendering managers. Now for the simple part: AMD has included a convenient script to install everything for you in the folder. Just run the script with sudo.
The script will run and install all of the packages that are required for your system. Windows needs manufacturer-provided hardware drivers before your hardware will work. Linux and other operating systems also need hardware drivers before hardware will work — but hardware drivers are handled differently on Linux.
You may sometimes need to install drivers, but some hardware may just not work at all. Windows does try to help. Microsoft bundles a lot of these manufacturer-provided drivers with Windows, and hosts many of them on Windows Update.
