I was really looking forward to my graphics card yesterday, because i didn't have any until now. after the installation into the case the trouble started. Installing the graphics driver is not fun and I just can't get it. When I tried to install the driver with amdgpu-install I got this error message:
Loading new amdgpu-5.18.13-1577590.22.04 DKMS files...

dpkg: error processing package amdgpu-dkms (--configure):

I then read on a page that before I start new installation attempts I should first delete the faulty ones. I did that, but since then I've always gotten this displayed in the console

Try "apt --fix-broken install" to fix this.

One would think that if you get a graphics card for 1000$, it would run without any problems, but with such a mess, one might think that the graphics card isn't worth the money. I don't know what to do. I just want what I buy to work. Do i expect to much?
Anyone know how I get rid of these errors I have. And maybe how to install an AMD 7900XTX on Ubuntu 22.04?
I have now at least solved the problem with the unmet dependencies. I have with
sudo dpkg --configure --pending
searched for all unmet dependencies. Then I forcibly removed them all
sudo dpkg --purge --force-all "package"
after then
sudo apt autoclean
and then
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Now i have a clean system without any unmet dependencies.
Now I still have to get the graphics card installed, but before I risk system chaos like this again, I urgently need to find out what kind of kernel I should use with Ubuntu 22.04.2 for the AMD 7900XTX
