Re: Installing AMDGPU-PRO on Neon

It seems to work fine by just changing the name ubuntu in the install file with neon.
Open Konsole and do the following:
Code: Select all
cd ~/Downloads/amdgpu-pro-17.30-465504

In my case the driver was extracted inside my downloads folder.
Open the script with your favorite editor:
Code: Select all
nano amdgpu-pro-install

Scroll down to the line that reads ubuntu:
Code: Select all
function os_release() {
        [[ -r  /etc/os-release ]] && . /etc/os-release

        case "$ID" in
        ubuntu)
                PACKAGES="amdgpu-pro amdgpu-pro-lib32 amdgpu-pro-dkms"
                ;;

and simply change it to:
Code: Select all
function os_release() {
        [[ -r  /etc/os-release ]] && . /etc/os-release

        case "$ID" in
        neon)
                PACKAGES="amdgpu-pro amdgpu-pro-lib32 amdgpu-pro-dkms"
                ;;

Ctrl+x to overwrite and save and then you can run the script as per normal instructions from the AMD website.
