Update to Ultimate AMD GPU Linux FAH Guide for OpenCL (FAH-Client v8 only)

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though AMD has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

OK, updated the damn thing again.
Replaced rocm-opencl-sdk with rocm-opencl-runtime.
In some cases icd loader is no longer required. In some cases lack of it causes WUs to fail, even though fah-client shows everything supported (v8.5.1 alpha, I'm looking at you :D). But majority of distros, rocm-opencl-runtime pulls some sort of icd loader with it

Since 25.04 and 25.10 have revamped their way of handling things, heres an update:

Download AMD's GPG public key with:
curl -fsSL https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key \
| sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/rocm.gpg
Before entering this into your terminal, change the ROCm version to the one you want:
echo 'Types: deb
URIs: https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/7.0.1/
Suites: noble
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/rocm.gpg' \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.sources
After this, run:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
In Ubuntu 25, you do not need Synaptic Package Manager as repositories can be managed directly via "Software & Updates" -> Other Software.
In a nutshell, you dont need to do all the SPM stuff muziqaz has in the main post.

Good luck! :D

Joe, can you add the following snippet to the first post of this thread
For Ubuntu 25.04 users, please follow this short guide on how to add a Radeon repo: viewtopic.php?p=371796#p371796

Thanks to AHelpingHand
This can be slotted with quote formatting between:
Check Web UI System Info section if your GPU is now supported (Should say True next to Supported)
AND
