Graphics issues after amdgpu tinkering: "dpkg: error processing package amdgpu-dkms (--configure):"

2 days ago, my graphics driver apparently crashed while opening an mp4 file in VLC - something I have done several times before. Otherwise, the computer remained usable. At the time, syslog showed these errors:

And it went on for a while, I think the bigger issue came when I tried to fix it today. I went to AMD's website to get the latest drivers, and ended up downloading amdgpu-install_5.5.50503-1_all.deb.

For reference, my OS version: uname -a shows

Linux beepbeep 6.2.0-26-generic #26~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jul 13 16:27:29 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I went through the installation process detailed on AMD's website, and saw these errors:

Building initial module for 6.2.0-26-generic
ERROR: Cannot create report: [Errno 17] File exists: '/var/crash/amdgpu-dkms.0.crash'

I'm not savvy enough to understand what /var/lib/dkms/amdgpu/6.0.5-1620033.22.04/build/make.log is telling me, but here's the output

Something I read online said to attempt going into recovery mode and trying to fix broken packages, this failed with a similar dpkg error.

I... I'm sorry. I really screwed up here :'(

Do I just need to reinstall at this point? Can't figure out any other way forward.

Before you begin, you may need to uninstall the amdgpu-dkms package:

sudo apt remove amdgpu-dkms

I was having trouble with this as well and it seems like I was able to get the dkms to build by installing some packages first:

sudo apt install amdgpu-dkms-firmware amdgpu-dkms-headers libdrm-amdgpu-dev libdrm-amdgpu-dev linux-hwe-6.2-tools-common linux-headers-generic-hwe-22.04 amdgpu-lib autoconf automake initramfs-tools shim-signed

I also installed the Linux kernel source package for the hwe kernel (that I am running). So I searched for available packages (you may have to have sources enabled in your software settings).

apt-cache search hwe | grep source

and then selected the one that matched the one I'm running on 20.04 (linux-hwe-5.15-source-5.15.0) so for you it will be different (for 6.2 instead of 5.15).

And then I ran sudo apt install amdgpu-dkms

When that was okay (and it did take a long time to compile), I then proceeded to use the installer and ran

amdgpu-install --accept-eula

If none of this works, you can still back out.

First, run the uninstaller:

amdgpu-uninstall

If it says nothing is installed, just remove the amdgpu-dkms at least:

sudo apt purge amdgpu-dkms-firmware amdgpu-dkms-headers amdgpu-dkms

and then purge the installer

sudo apt-get purge amdgpu-install

and reboot.

Please let me know if you have any problems in the comments.

BTW, you can get the amdgpu driver running without installing the downloaded version from AMD. It is built in but you usually have to blacklist the radeon driver if amdgpu is not in use. `lspci -k | grep -A3 VGA` should tell you what kernel driver is in use and running `apt-cache search amdgpu` should help you locate any related packages like drm and libva related stuff. If you need any help with that then just open another question.

Thank you, this did solve my biggest issue of fixing amdgpu-dkms. I'd note that I was never able to run `amdgpu-uninstall`, as the command wasn't found, but removing it, installing those packages, and reinstalling it, then running `amdgpu-install --accept-eula` did get my graphics back to normal upon a reboot. My original issue does seem to still be present; opening files in VLC leads to a crash.

Aha~! I realized I've had an image-adjust video effect applied in VLC, leading to a crash most times I open video files. By unapplying the effect, I am now able to open all files again.

@BenForTheFirstTime FYI, the "dry run" option: `amdgpu-install --dry-run` is really helpful so you can run before installing to see if there would be any conflicts or errors before trying to install. I used this a few times and kept getting a DKMS error so I knew something was wrong. Downloaded the amdgpu-dkms package, extracted the files and cd into the `/usr/src/amdgpu-6.1.5-1609671.20.04/amd/dkms/` directory an from there I ran `./configure` to manually do what DKMS would do, got an error saying that the kernel source was missing, so I searched for and installed the kernel source package.

@BenForTheFirstTime The other packages I figured would be for good measure as packages will often fail to compile if you're missing a needed `-dev` package. So I did an `apt-cache search amdgpu | grep "\-dev"` and saw there was some drm packages (drm is referenced in the dkms errors). The autoconf and the rest was just a guess considering that's what was used there (note the configure.ac file if you look at the file list for `dpkg -L amdgpu-dkms | grep src`).

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
