Ubuntu 16.04.02 LTS wont mine with RX 550 #88

cryptomine · 2017-06-29T03:56:50Z

I've been trying to get the RX550 4GB cards to run under Ubuntu 16.04.02 LTS but haven't had much luck. I've currently only tried the AMDGPU-PRO driver but I was going to test the radeon driver soon. The card mines under Windows So the issue is probably driver side in linux.

The card being polaris 12 instead of 11 might be the source of some issues. I'd gladly donate some ETH to anyone who can help me get these cards mining under Linux

nikolehto · 2017-06-29T06:00:17Z

Does it freeze on OPENCL#0 99% - check #77

cryptomine · 2017-06-29T06:35:56Z

Nope, It doesn't even start

"[OPENCL]:No OpenCL platforms found
No GPU device with sufficient memory was found. Can't GPU mine. Remove the -G argument
"

With any other Card I plug into the pcie slot, it works fine, it just doesn't work with the RX 550 4GB

chfast · 2017-07-02T19:50:19Z

Can you try clinfo or similar tool to check out your OpenCL platforms?

calvintam236 · 2017-07-16T09:47:02Z

I tried to setup my RX470 on ubuntu 16.04.2 as well. No luck.
My setup: AMD RYZEN 1700X + RX470 GRAPHIC with AMDGPU-PRO driver

Tried with -G:
--opencl-platform 1
--opencl-device 1

clinfo does list both my CPU and GPU.

tperalta82 · 2017-07-21T16:50:30Z

try running as root (sudo. ..... )

calvintam236 · 2017-07-21T19:49:10Z

I am running all commands on root already.

ljordan-pea · 2017-08-14T18:01:01Z

Any luck with this

dan-and · 2017-08-27T11:00:30Z

It is a known driver issue at AMD. Let's wait for new amdpro gpu drivers

derubm · 2017-08-27T15:26:31Z

--opencl-device 2 , as Device 1 is prob. your CPU.

dan-and · 2017-08-27T17:33:18Z

@derubm thats may be true for rx 560, 570 and 580, but the current amdgpu pro drivers are just broken, so you only see the CPU platform and no GPU-Platform. It will be fixed in the next amdpgu pro drivers.

See:
https://community.amd.com/thread/217469

cryptomine · 2017-09-10T21:32:33Z

If the new AMD Catalyst driver doesn't fix the RX550 issue then I'll gladly throw in 5eth to the pool to anyone who gets it working with the AMD Radeon drivers and Open source OPENCL if possible, AMD OPENCL otherwise.

https://signal.org/blog/bithub/
might be an interesting idea for the ethminer project as a whole.

dan-and · 2017-11-02T12:59:08Z

AMDGPU Pro 17.40 is released.

http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Driver-for-Linux-Release-Notes.aspx

Good luck testing

cryptomine · 2017-11-10T20:38:20Z

Just updated to Ubuntu 16.04.03LTS and AMDGPU Pro 17.40 and that didn't fix it. I think this issue should be closed since the issue is with the driver and not ethminer.

(https://community.amd.com/message/2811352#2827695) seems to be the most active thread in regards to OpenCL on this card.

nova25edz · 2017-11-15T02:51:00Z

Hi Cryptomine, following the installation guide from AMD won't do on multiple GPU but instead install the AMDGPU 17.40 with these commands
#if you have previous installation of AMDGPU kindly uninstall and reinstall using the following commands
$ cd "amdgpu dir"
$ amdgpu-pro-uninstall
$ reboot
$ sudo apt-get update #(this depends on your distro on how you update)
$ cd "amdgpu dir"
$ ./amdgpu-pro-install -compute #(use -compute option instead of -y option)
$ sudo usermod -a -G video $LOGNAME
$ sudo apt install -y rocm-amdgpu-pro
$reboot

This work on my miner using Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS and AMDGPU-PRO 17.40

dan-and · 2017-11-15T09:56:29Z

nova25edz:

Which cards do you use when you verified this?

Kind regards,

Daniel

bmatthewshea · 2017-11-15T13:39:32Z

Just FYI - I know everyone still having problems with AMD and their ability to actually write a (Linux) driver that supports the hardware correctly, thought I'd post this here since I noticed this thread again:

On released Linux Kernel 4.14 or higher (which is available from Ubuntu PPA now)

Heterogeneous Memory Management

https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_4.14#line-62

At least kernel has improved for GPU use. Maybe someday AMD will release (new) bug free/working opencl drivers. But not holding my breath.

nova25edz · 2017-11-16T04:24:08Z

@dan-and

I am using RX580 8GB, but it should work on any RX 500 series

dan-and · 2017-11-16T07:02:13Z

@nova25edz

That's why it works for you. Only the RX550 (Polaris 12) doesn't have working drivers for Linux.

smurfy · 2017-11-16T09:01:08Z

what does ethminer --list-devices show, this should display all devices which ethminer could "see"

Richard87 · 2017-12-07T08:04:45Z

ddobreff · 2017-12-07T08:10:10Z

It will not work. 550s are known to have OpenCL issues with latest linux opencl package, its not driver related though.

Thanks, --opencl-platform 2 gave me some more data, but nothing worked ;)

Thanks for answering, fast question, is there a version of OpenCL I can install that will work, or where can I pay attention to see when they release something that might work?

ddobreff · 2017-12-07T14:03:05Z

https://community.amd.com/thread/221002
Unfortunately linux support for Lexa core a.k.a Polaris 12 is not planned for both ROCm or propietary OpenCL, you should try windows instead.

aphilippi · 2017-12-13T13:54:19Z

same issue here, but this solved it:

Richard87 · 2017-12-13T14:08:22Z

Cool @aphilippi ! Btw, do you use Wayland or Xorg?

aphilippi · 2017-12-13T14:23:42Z

no, we're building a cheap and low-power xmr miner using https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak

dan-and · 2017-12-13T15:06:41Z

finally! Thanks for the high @aphilippi

bmatthewshea · 2017-12-13T15:17:29Z

reminder -
Also, don't forget to add user to 'video' group. This is easily overlooked.
(The user running ethminer binary for any AMD cards needs to be a member of 'video' group else you get errors - card not founds/permission problems/etc. At least under Ubuntu.)
$ sudo usermod -a -G video <ethminer-username-here>

rcole1200 · 2018-01-13T14:44:32Z

I have had the same problem exactly as dan experienced and went through installing 17.40 and then also the 17.50 and ubuntu 16.4 running claymore 10.2 would not recognize the 550. All my other rigs run fine 480s, 580s linux 17.50 drivers. In the effort to get my 550 to work outside of windows at more hashrate I went through the process of the posts here and others. the main hang up I still have is rocm wont install. I then discovered that the board and processor I was using was gen2 PCIE and pentium which rocm does not support. So I was interested to know what board and processor you used when you finally got it to work from aphillipi recommendation and is their another way to use opencl to recognize pentium and gen2pcie setups. I run gen 2pcie setups unbuntu 16.4 and claymore 10.2 with great results with 480s and 580s. Anyone care to comment?

cryptomine · 2018-01-31T05:48:43Z

@aphilippi Confirmed that the beta 550 driver you linked to works, I'm seeing ~6.3Mh/s per GPU on Ubuntu Server 16.04.03 LTS. I used the -y instead of -compute flag so I'll test the -compute flag and report back here, probably next week unless someone else does so first.

@rcole1200 Sorry, I have no way to test pcie2 at this time, I'm not using rocm and don't really know what benefits it provides besides being open source which is pretty nice but any explanation would be appreciated.

cryptomine · 2018-01-31T06:12:26Z

Nevermind, I actually had some free time. The "--compute" flag did nothing for the RX 550 4GB, however it might be default since the beta driver was made for no other reason than to add openCL support, but

"Enabling Large Page Support"
Found at the bottom of:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-Pro-Beta-Driver-for-Linux-Release-Notes.aspx

Increased the per GPU hash rate from ~6.3Mh/s to ~7.1Mh/s
