"you basically just need to copy some files out of a git repository" famous last words
"I might be your future reflection" LOL!
A handsome, warm, kind person? Seems like a good future to me.
He's talking about his debilitating orange addiction, obviously. 😉
Also super jelly of his facial hair and monitor setup...
@Booga Ooga Holy crap! Way to necro a comment. But yeah. Of course, the sugar free thing prob helps there.
@Booga Ooga Nah, you took and replied to an old/dead comment (7 months), and resurrected it Can't remember where the term came from. 👍
“a reflection of your dark future” cracked me up xD
you’re a very kind person wendell, people could do a *lot* worse
Very kind, knowledgeable, funny*
@@salmiakki5638 yes! i'm not getting a 6600XT anytime soon but it's fun to watch L1 because wendell :-)
@@jewishkidney absolutely.
Channel revived, Hallelujah !
"Little bit of a nerd." Understatement of the year lol!
Note that if you're going to clone the linux-firmware repo, using --depth=1 (a shallow clone) may save you the bandwidth and storage of downloading a lot of outdated firmware files. It's very big regardless.
I can't afford a 6600XT and don't run Linux atm but im here to watch :D
I can't even afford Linux :(
I got a 3060Ti and don’t run Linux but also here to watch. Patiently waiting and hoping Linux can game to the standard I expect
@@V1CT1MIZED I think 6600XT should be pretty close to the GPU in steam deck which can run games just fine. Once distros figure it out, this GPU should be pretty good for Linux gaming.
6600xt worked instantly on linux for me. But I was already running beta ubuntu 21.10 and a mainline kernel :)
Thanks
Thanks! Love your Linux coverage.
luckily for Arch Linux users at least there's the linux-firmware-git AUR package. Thanks for the vid tho, this will definitely come in handy should I buy a new AMD gpu day one.
If you use synaptic package manager you can install Linux-firmware.
This channel doesn't post enough. Lots of stuff from the main channel could be "chopped up" to shorter episodes here where we just get the Linux stuff :P
I imagine OpenSuse Tumbleweed would have it just by running zypper dup. It’s incredibly current and still super stable.
Watching Level1techs for a years and didn't know there is an extra Channel for my prefered OS
Ah the joys of brand newly released hardware in Linux. That actually looked really painless. I feel like I've pulled my hair out in the past with a brand new Nvidia card...in Debian...and something happened with the experimental repo and it wouldn't wo-oh god it's coming back
I remember the pain when I switched to a GTX960... Well after it launched. In Windows.
Ironically, it actually worked perfectly in Linux, which meant I didn't need to pull the card back out 🤣
I have 25 years of Linux experience with various distros, desktop, server hardware - also other Unix variants. I have no fear installing Gentoo (a very pleasant experience). But, this looks like a very painful experience for users. Honestly, I wouldn't feel comfortable buying expensive hardware when it's not clear that the setup will work. I think that it should be easier with distros releasing regularly new installer images.
Thank you my reflection of my dark future.
I'm not going to get that video card or run in to this problem . I just watch the video because i like that there is finally a new Leve1Linux Video.
TY Wandell We love you Wandell ! 🥰
Wendell not Wandell
I'm currently on Fedora and after swapping my older AMD card with the RX 6600 XT it worked out of the box for me, no tweaks at all.
So I suppose another easy/noobish way to install a Linux with this card is: 1) to have and use first an iGPU or other older card 2) choose Fedora, Arch-based or other bleeding edge distro 3) standard install and update to latest kernels and packages 4) swap/plug the new card and you are done.
Bless your soul
A few hours ago i switched my RX480 for a RX6600XT. Using Manjaro and 5.15 i booted and it was ready to run.
Good to know it, I bought a Rx 6600 to switche my rx560.
holyshit thanks yesterday i ordered a 6600xt for a linux pc and didn't know this was a problem :)
LOL to late for me. And "scramble mode has been activated" good thing I didn't start tearing down the old system yet.
Just found this channel, been a subscriber to Level1Tech for a while and you hinted at this channel in a video, I haaaad to go hunt it down. Already not disappointed 😂 "I might be a reflection of your dark future" ☠️☠️☠️😂🤣
God damn it this was too ironic of a comment 😭 the joke hits differently when I had to refer back to this video when encountering a similar issue
Little known fact; even the proudest Arch Linux toters may like some DOOM now and then. Even if they don't mention it publicly.
I mention it, DOOM runs great on Arch!
I had similar problem with Ryzen 7 4700 / Vega 7 iGPU. I've solved it by adding permamently to grub option "iommu=soft" . OS: Manjaro KDE
Good to know, thanks!
Switching from Void to Manjaro KDE to get access to that sweet sweet gamemode
I am mostly pretty much satisfied with this video.
I will like too see benchmark with FSR with this card on particular. It will be interesting how far can go.
Kubuntu 21.04 works out of the box with the 6600XT, I did a fresh install last week when I got one. Not sure why vanilla Ubuntu doesn't have the same support. But 21.04 doesn't even have Gnome 40.
Ah yes, I remember the days when I dealt with this sort of kernel/blob related pain, now I just use arch, lol. Sorry couldn't resist, live sources over periodic repositories all the way.
hmmmm now I'm really interested in doing a full amd linux build. :)
Wow a Linux channel video! 👏
I think i have exact same problem with my new 6500 xt. Tried many re install with many flavors of ubuntu and ubuntu based distro ending being installed but with no graphic driver loaded in the end. Have to hit ctrl alt F1? Or other f keys to get something going on the terminal emulator. Hope 22.04 will do something out of box for me.
It not going to fix the driver problem, but on Ubuntu LTS with new-ish Hardware you can use the HWE kernels, they are basically the kernels from the current (non-LTS) release but backported to LTS.
Yay linux channel
U rock bro ^.^
Thanks for the AMD RADEON firmware video. But in the copy part, it seems like you say "# cp -a /lib/firmware/amdgpu /usr/firmware/amdgpu" ; however, you typed this on the screen "# cp -a . /lib/firmware/amdgpu" so I got a bit confused ... sorry if I misunderstood.
About to get a 6600xt. I wonder how this will work on the most recent Manjaro XFCE. 🤔. I'm hoping it will work right out of the box. But we will see.
Well? 🙂
Is there a way to have liquorix kernel install during setup?
And i didn't have any issues with manjaro besides reformating and mounting my second drive
unique and differentiated reporting. mb
Wow all I had to do was boot up and launch the updater and it wiped the old drivers I had and install the new ones and I was good. I wish it was that easy on Windows.
How do you install on Gentoo (with the KDE Plasma desktop environment) any AMD Mesa driver?
I use Linux since 2007 I hope that card works fine in Arch Linux cause I bought on internet today. ;)
how we get gpu support to kdenlive rendering/proxy profiles for amd open drivers? and also better hevc support. Now all happens on cpu and thats fine but on hevc, not so.
"I might be a reflection of your dark future" ... more like enlightened future, my friend.
Nice.
Linux is confused with rx 6700m. Does anyone know what ICD Loader to use?
Radeon seems to be the one working, but it's inconsistent.
Sometimes it uses the 5800h intergrated gpu rather then the 6700m gpu.
I use lutris and just select auto or manual icd loader, but no option consistantly works.
On xanmod-edge.
Intel seems to be in a talking mood with the media push they're doing for their gpu lineup that they'll launch early next year, would it be possible to get them to talk a bit of what linux support might look like and if we'll see features like gvt-g come back on consumer platforms?
1 year later , still havent relased it . so yeah
I guess the question is, if this issue is because the LiveUSB does not have a bleeding edge kernel, why not do a NetInstall or kickstart file then install the GPU?
Wendell sells Linux and Linux accessories...
man I wish I had this video about 7 years ago lol
Pop!_OS supports it out of the box along with Arch as long as you stay away from the AMDVLK and use the other VLK drivers,.
Pop OS definitely doesn't support it out of the box. I just tried 21.04 and alas, black screen. (regular ISO, not Nvidia ISO)
Newer hardware needs up to date distro, just use a rolling release distro
Wendell, did you stop using Fedora as your distro? Been seeing a lot of Ubuntu in your videos lately...
Wendel uses all distros for various reasons. As he mentioned he had issues with Fedora with this GPU.
What about the liquorix kernel?
“A reflection of your dark future” xD
Saddest part is it is probably true
i haven't got my 6600 xt yet but i liked this video incase anything goes bad
lmfao, yeah, my experience getting the RX6600XT working two days after launch on LM20.2 was a trip. literally a head-desk experience, given there was zero documentation at the time.
in order to get working Vulkan at all on my machine, with kernel 5.11, and with XFCE, I had to:
-get the latest firmware from the linux-firmware git repository (as you noted)
-install mesa-git (mesa 20.3 or newer should work too)
-install the vulkan SDK
-install amdgpu-pro 21.30 (or newer)
-run update-initramfs -u manually after installing amdgpu-pro, before rebooting!
-change the xfwm4 compositor to compton before rebooting
@@francistheodorecatte "Tell me more"...your running my setup...no seriously, talk. your comment has been seized and .txt'd.
Is it possible to install this driver from the Ubuntu repository?
Anyone know how to make Lenovo P50 with Intel onboard + dedicated nvidia GPU (optimus) actually work properly and not crash all the time on Linux?
How to edit AMD GPU settings in Linux 🤔
How about ROCm support ?
content :D
Fedora is now on kernel 5.13, does that mean it should work out of the box now?
It works if you install from troubleshoot, but the system itself has many problems with the gpu
I select oem manufacture mode and somehow worked.
I just want it to work with linux mint mate 20 so i get my damn wobbly windows and desktop cube and such just to run Compiz
AMD should really just upload at least basic firmware files long before launch, just like Intel does.
I see you misunderstood the video, after AMD gets its firmware to the git it is out of their hands. Every distribution manager has to do it on their own schedule depending on their priorities.
@@wikingagresor I didn't misunderstand anything. AMD knows that distributions take a while to deliver firmware to users. They should compensate for that by publishing ahead of time. Intel published the first firmware for Alder Lake in January, half a year before it would even be officially announced. There's no reason AMD can't do the same. It doesn't have to be perfect or anything, just add at least something so so that people can install without tricks.
@@squelchedotter Right....so AMD should publish a driver..that their guts tell them NOT TO ..yet..because it ISN'T Ready yet. (matt damon accent)
"That's fucking brilliant"
(facepalm)
Get a clue already
@@motoryzen you have literally have "ryzen" in your username, lol
@@motoryzen The alternative is that customers buy their hardware, see that they can't even boot their OS with it, return it back to the store, and buy a NVIDIA card instead.
let's not be misleading, the firmware blobs that are needed with mainline drivers are usually running on the peripheral... (though vbios... eh... that should really not contain bytecode, that's scummy, and would be much easier to fix then the existance of AML)
and vbios should kinda be found inside the PCI ROM thingy, so I assume we're not talking about that?
These blobs do reside in system memory, but they don't reference anything outside their own little sandbox and functions of the GPU itself. It's basically how AMD locks people out of, say, raising power limits to something the VRM can't handle.
I want to go to all AMD and linux but this scared me away a bit...
"wheeeeeeewh!"
Now if I could get DaVinci Resolve working with my Vega 56 (no opencl capable GPU found).
That’s because the mesa OpenCL driver is messed up. Try installing the ROCM opencl driver
@@williamanthony7224 Adding the ROCM driver got resolve working great on my system with a Radeon Pro WX 5100 (not quite the same as Vega but should do the trick for you). I would also add the boot arg `amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff` so you can tune the performance, undervolt, overclock, etc. I was not very happy with how hot my card ran with stock settings and imagine the Vega cards will run hot just the same.
Is there going to be a 2021 pfsense video with 10g card
God I hope so. I am so tired of dealing with a damn retail router. I don't need hardcore gigabit speeds in wireless, but man I'd love to have full 2.5Gigabit speeds physically thought.
For sure
Mesa open source drivers are great
Q1: Are these instruction written down anywhere? I'm having trouble following.
Q2: Will 21.10 just solve this out of the box?
Radeon Pro WX 5100 that gave me issues on 20.04.3 worked properly after reinstalling using 21.10. I booted to the installer using the safe graphics mode and then surprisingly it worked after the first boot.
@@CaseyStrouse 21.10 did it for me too. I also flashed the bios with the most recent (non-beta).
Revisiting this video 11 months later trying to troubleshoot running a RX 6400 on Ubuntu 22.04.1
Kinda thinking at this point I should remove the GPU, install proprietary AMD drivers using my integrated Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G and reinstall my RX 6400... 😮💨 I just want to compile AOSP and my computer says not today 😂
Update: I had disabled the spectre/meltdown patch in bios which prevented me from booting any distro. Now I know 😂
Ive got a rx 6600, it seems to be working but software seem to call it names like "Device 73ff" or "AMD DIMGREY_CAVEFISH (DRM 3.43.0, 5.4.0-91-generic, LLVM 12.0.1)" (on steam) any idea as to what's going on here?
73ff is the device ID which can be seen on PCI bus: cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:00.0/device
0x73ff
For the PCI bus address to use, see output of: lspci | grep -i amd
01:00.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 10 XL Upstream Port of PCI Express Switch (rev c1)
02:00.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 10 XL Downstream Port of PCI Express Switch
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 23 [Radeon RX 6600/6600 XT/6600M] (rev c1)
03:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 21/23 HDMI/DP Audio Controller
As you can see from the above sample output, this particular Sapphire Pulse RX 6600 XT PCIe card acts as an aggregate device when plugged into PCIe slot 01:00.0 with 2 PCIe Switches, the GPU itself (03:00.0), and an Intel-chipset HD Audio device (03:00.1).
Every PCI card has both a Vendor ID and Device ID, which can identify that particular piece of hardware.
Vendor ID for this is: 0x1002 (AMD)
The DIMGREY_CAVEFISH name appears to be the code-name for these chips, and is from the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) Linux Kernel source code. AMD apparently likes to use fish names for their hardware. See: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_drv.c for PCI IDs.
That's why I switched to Manjaro from Ubuntu
That thumbnail tho 😂
So basically nomodeset didn't do anything, still blinking cursor and can only do text mode if i switch to a text console. 2022-11-11, 6900xt.
Does anyone know if this card works "out-of-the-box" now with Linux (i.e. with the 5.18 kernel)?
Absolutely no luck with 5.15 if that helps.
Have you tried it with a kernel 5.18 and newer? I am on Ubuntu 22.04 and I am worried it doesn't work.
@@jierenzheng7670 No, haven't tried it yet. Still sitting on the fence about buying a new GPU. I still have a Radeon 5500XT in my desktop, and it doesn't everything I need, so I'm desperately looking for an excuse to buy a new GPU... BTW, I use Arch (and am currently on the 6.0.12 kernel).
@@MnemonicCarrier Was the 5500XT working on the 5.18 kernel?
I got the RX6600M as a stand in while waiting for the A770 Mesa drivers to mature.
i use arch btw
ive been having lots of problems with amd in linux recently
ive stopped even using amd GPUs in linux atm
The bigger question is, why doesn't the amdgpu driver bail when it doesn't find the firmware?
Or, better yet, just automagically downloads it itself from the git repo!
I sincerely hope that you're not seriously proposing putting a git client in the kernel?
@@gnarlin4964 A kernel driver can't really download anything, since network isn't up yet. The network driver may be loaded, but the DHCP client and what not is in userspace.
tl;dw Use Archlinux?
Hello dark future
If your my dark side, then my future looks bright
"Little bit of a nerd" ---- lol.
I think we've established that. The ultimate nerd.
Got any clue how it behaves with Ubuntu 22.04.1?
Have you tried? I have a RX 6600 coming and I am worried. I assume the newer kernel and Mesa drivers would work out of the box.
@@jierenzheng7670 I bought the RX 6600XT and it ran flawlessly out of the box. amdgpu recognised it without issues. Edit: Did need to update to ubuntu 22.04 but that was gonna happen anyway
@@DracoMhuuh Thanks! I am on 22.04 now, thanks for confirming it works!
got a rx6600xt at around msrp on launch day, swapped out my old rx570 in a plug and play manner. Lucky me in Arch Linux.
What? Are you saying that "it (does NOT) just work" as you hear from everyone in the Linux community?
It works now, it was in older kernel not being updated with the then new card. I think since linux kernel 5.11 it is out of the box for this card. Basically all the new versions of your favorite distro including the latest ubuntu lts will work out of the box now.
you forgot sudo while copying the files :=)
If you're a reflection I think I like most of what I see
"So, you picked up a 6600xt" No, no we didn't. They are vaporware paper-launch myths. These don't exist in the natural world.
I think he meant to say "so you've won the lottery".
Don't forget to use to use sudo when installing. I did this and it looks like it works but it doesn't work as much as when I use sudo. This under Linux Mint Uma.
That doesnt look easy. My definition is easy is like downloading pop os iso with nvidia driver included and boot like usual, install.
personnaly i very tired because on my slackware with slackpkg i have a RX6900XT and the graphics cards works! on blender without openCL for the momment Mesa3D only but it work's). But i don't have 32bits and ... for playing you need ABSOLUTELY 32 bits library and so on. I decided no play for the momment perhaprs the software editor decide to create your game in 64bits natifs!. I don't understanbd why developper has again idea to use 32bits codes for her games! it's none sens!!!!
"easy"
have you done anything on windows?
Nomodeset completely disables gpu which is not a nice thing
Comment to feed the insatiable maw of The Algorithm.
For Linux which is AMD better than nivida
