@tuxutku, Could you add a command-line argument to uninstall (current version)? Doing it manually bites (takes a little while). While Blender finally recognizes my devices, I get nothing but crashes when attempting to merely access GPU-stuff (even just menus). CPU-based OpenCL is fine. (Tried 2.92, 3.0, same issue. Mint.) By the way, why do you rename "libdrm_amdgpu" to "libdrm_amdgpo?

From my testings clpeak works, blender detects gpus but crashes when rendering! (carrizo and polaris gpus)

Ellesmere also crashes.

For those having Blender crashes, you need to be using 2.93beta...

This PPA has a nice and regularly updated blender-git if you prefer to use APT: https://launchpad.net/~savoury1/+archive/ubuntu/blender

I had tried the 3.0 version directly (compiled it myself), and it crashed as well. I usually try to run my own compiles now so that I can disable some awful features (anyone can Google my username and Blender to determine) but I went from 2.92 to 3.0. I wonder what difference there is in the 2.93b that'd it would run without issue…? That PPA has a lot of other PPA-dependencies... I'm not keen on adding too many PPAs. Probably best to run Manjaro or Endeavour, Ubuntu and derivatives alike tend to crap out if too many pieces of software are upgraded out of their archaic old versions.

No idea but it's possible fixes in 2.93 have not yet been ported to V3.0, or that there are brand new crashes in V3.0 (considering they are completely rewriting Cycles, and it isn't optimised for AMD at all that seems highly likely...)

I've been hoping for quite some time that Blender would open up to Mesa OpenCL so that no one would ever need "Pro" drivers... Just AMDVLK and Mesa OpenCL. All the support for highly overpriced "green" cards using biased software frustrates me to no end.

Great job !!
I'm trying to get functionality for AMD R9 270x on Linux Mint 20.1 (5.4.0-74-generic kernel).I have struggled with trying to install working opencl for days with no success. At this point I will go for anything that can run on this version of mint even downgrading kernel is OK.

DarkTable-cltest results: [opencl_init] could not create command queue for device 1: -6

What script mods need to be done to work?

Just curious, why are you using such an ancient kernel? Mint brought 5.8 quite a long time ago, now...it has a lot of AMD fixes including for GPU. You can use Update Manager to install the newer kernel. Mint offered it because of tons of fixes for things. It's one of the reasons I dropped Mint, though. Hangs onto the past far too much. Manjaro/Endeavour for me. I've no idea if the 270X can run the amdgpu-pro OpenCL.

Running that old kernel for stability but yes I will have to move on to the 5.8 permanently with all the new fixes. If only the AMD driver issues were easily solved mint would be a solid distro. I wonder how problematic opencl is on manjaro for the 270x.

After installing 5.8.0-55 and further testing I noticed opencl works but only when i run clinfo with root privileges. In-order to run under my user do I need to symlink files or add my user to videos or render groups?

Check out the second half of the script, 130 onward. video and render, I believe.

Thanks for the feedback @OdinVex, after alot of testing and reinstalling I found the solution for this specific GPU.

Got it working with the following process: (This might help those running gcn 1.0 gpus)

• Run the script
• Added user to the groups but still no dice.
• After long searching I learnt that GCN 1.0 cards need environment variables set for them to run openCL properly without requiring root for every terminal or application.
• Add these to the environment variables 👍 Might need to add these manually.
  GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1
  GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
  GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
  GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
  GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
• Reboot.

Thanks for the openCL script @tuxutku .

Updated the script. Added all recorded unused files from previous scripts to the remove list. However due to mistakes I made generating the list, it might not be complete

Updated the script so that now it generates .deb package then installs that package.
here is a pre-built one: https://files.catbox.moe/02i5tf.deb
For other distros it still does direct install

--no-deb        : don't build the debian package on debian based systems
--no-install    : don't install anything
--no-cleaning   : skip cleaning on direct installs
--assume-debian : assumes system to be debian based
For example to build .deb package on non-debian systems use --no-install and --assume-debian together (still requires "dpkg" command)
