SOLUTION:

I was missing this package sudo dnf install rocm-hip-devel as per instructions here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/HC

Hi, I’m trying to get GPU acceleration on AMD to work in Blender 4.1 but I can’t seem to be able to. From what I’ve seen it should be working with ROCm just fine but I had no luck with it.

I’m using Fedora 40 GNOME with Wayland and my GPU is RX 6800 XT.

System is up to date. I’ve also installed all these packages:

sudo dnf install rocminfo

sudo dnf install rocm-opencl

sudo dnf install rocm-clinfo

sudo dnf install rocm-hip

and restarted system after.

rocminfo gives me this

rocm-clinfo gives me this

    Why? Also I didn’t know about any docker container and never seen any mention of it when looking up solutions.

      Because it’s a pain and can brick your graphics driver…

        Does docker require virtualisation to be enabled?

            Thanks, I’ll look more into it once I get more time but from a glance this seems a bit too convoluted for my needs.

              No this is the safe approach. Installing a 3rd party devel package may likely break your system

                If it breaks, it breaks… But I’ll give it a try on my laptop with PopOS

                  PopOS needs completely different packages though.

                  They base on Ubuntu LTS but ship newer mesa, kernel and maybe more.

                  Not sure if every component will be newer, so I would also expect conflicts.

                  Using an upstream provided container really sounds like a good solution.

                    Yeah, I’m aware it has different packages but I need to familiarise myself with docker first either way. Eventually I plan to switch both systems to PopOS Cosmic DE 24.04 once it fully releases so for now I’m spending most time just tinkering and trying to get more familiar with Linux. Pretty much all SW I use runs on it anyways too. Right now I want to get DavinciResolve up and running with my GPU.
